Market Update & Personal Strategy – 9 April 2025

As of 12 PM today, the stock market continues its decline, extending what has been a challenging period for investors. On a positive note, I exited all my BTC positions on 6 April 2025, just before the sharp downturn. Instead of sitting on cash, I redeployed the proceeds into SGX stocks—a move aimed at staying invested while keeping my warchest intact for future opportunities.

Currently, my portfolio is primarily equity-focused, with my cash reserves still untouched. The real test now is psychological: maintaining the discipline to hold—or even average down—if the market keeps sliding. To prevent emotional reactions, I’ve removed all price-tracking and news apps, leaving only a single price alert on my work laptop to notify me of major dips.

My Outlook & Strategy

  • No quick recovery expected—markets may trade sideways or drift lower in the near term.

  • Focus on quality—accumulate strong companies at attractive valuations for long-term holding.

  • Patience over panic—this is a marathon, not a sprint.

Staying Grounded

To keep my mind clear, I’ve settled into a structured daily routine:

  • Morning gym sessions (weekdays) to stay sharp.

  • Focused work hours without market distractions.

  • Evenings with family—keeping perspective on what truly matters.

By sticking to this rhythm, I avoid overthinking short-term market noise. The plan is set—now it’s about execution and emotional control.

Lastly, do not over leverage or use margin unless you are super sure. The only reason i can still sleep well is because all my investment are from my asset.
