Summary of May 2026

The market is anticipating few events in May 2026! Firstly, Kevin Warsh will be governing Fed reserve. The current CPI inflation is 3.81% ( good inflation rate: 2%) and US 10 year treasury yield is 4.55% and is interesting to observe him tackling inflation and balancing employment rate. Whether Kevin Warsh able to be independent or not, we have to be defensive approach in the midst of uncertainty.


Secondly, US-China Summit is happening right now Trump bringing many CEO such as Nvidia, Qualcomm, Master, Micron and etc to make a deals with China. Trump invited president Xi to White House on 24 September While I believe these are the win-win situations for the both sides and rest of the world.


Lastly, As we still digesting the current events, I collecting premium income using cover-call options trading. Sellers always be love time decay if they did risk calculation while holding stocks why not open short-term contract it provides income and not selling the stocks. 


Options strategy 

I’m learning wheel strategy to collect income at the selling conservative deep out-of-the-money put option contract.

I know never covered call in a growth stocks but by doing 20% margin deep out of the money and market trend may reduce the chance of being called. However, I at learning stage and exploring the best choice to do it.

Adding UIPATH into wheel strategy system because I am comfortable and confident with this stock as their income statement improving quarter to quarter but the market seems to favour semi sector right now which I believe once investors begin to understand RPA model helps companies do repetitive tasks and increase work efficiently, then the smart money will move to this sector. Overall, UNIPATH has been in down trend since IPO which can be a risk reward to add small amount. 


Shares builder plan 

I stay investing in SGX and Sheng Siong monthly, increasing the small amount in SGX because Singapore continues to add 1.5 billion in EQDP. I think the landscape of Singapore equities  market are beginning to change from here and it benefit SGX and sg investors. I have confidence in Sheng Siong, it an affordable heartland supermarket and convenient for local to shop their daily needs. I like how Sheng Siong choose to cash pile during uncertains like oil crisis and upcoming RTS impact by not giving special dividend to investors. I still vested because their expansion is stays relevant as there are more BTO coming up and their defensive-play creating long vision ahead.  


OCBC is in my DCA watchlist when the new ceo appointed there’s a growth hungry in him. The new acquisition on HSBC wealth management creating new growth way and sticky business for them to continue their growth in this region.


We should build a war chest first and take opportunity in crisis, I believe future of US market dominate remains relevant for investor who finding capital appreciation as we can see historically chart of S&P 500 how US rebound every headwind.

Mid-year 2025 report

We are in the middle of 2025, there are Trump tariffs and wars in the rest of the world created uncertainties may affect our investment returns or performance.  My investment portfolio overall still growing despite having heavy weightage of Palantir, which I am still confident to hold. In order for US government to create efficiency on defense sector, Palantir is the only trusted software to organise LLM. The more chaos in geopolitics, the more stronger Palantir will be. There’s some upside awaiting for them to commit in private segment. The valuation is inflating and speculative right now.  I been buying S&P Global at the range of  $478- $500, refinance and M&A will be the potential drivers to move the credit rating when US rate cut. I will keep buying S&P Global whenever I see there's opportunity arise it'll going to be my core equity in the future, as I consider this company carries strong fundamentals, cash generator and strong cash flow despite economic t...

Build a Generation Wealth portfolio from scratch.

Recently, I and my gf discussed about weathering the storm of our future and we concluded that there’s a need to build a portfolio. We are considered a young couple waiting to collect key and we need some funds such as renovation, expenses and protect our downside.  I projecting this fund (building the foundation) as mid-long term 3-5 years. After we should able to proceed growth index or stock pick in small allocation. I believe using S&P 500 as a benchmark is reasonable because the holding majority derives from US and tech stocks. During the drip cycle we need to buy even more than usual DCA to beat S&P 500. I suggested investing small amount of world index as a foundation since she has mild knowledge about investing. World index ETF is the safer to invest passively in the long term which adjust the market cap over time by geographic basis. We aware the world index is not a growth massively than S&P 500 or Nasdaq but it provides us a good sleep during uncertainly. O...
