When markets rally, most traders fail not because they lack analysis skills, but because they crumble under psychological pressure. The real battleground isn't price prediction—it's the mental fortitude to execute a disciplined strategy. Here's what separates winners from those who watch profits

The Common Collapse Pattern in Crypto Trading

Where is the global capital market's weather vane? The answer is the United States. As the US stock market begins to ease from the interest rate hike cycle, more and more funds can't resist the urge to enter the market. However, faced with numerous index options, novice investors often feel overwhelmed— which major US index should they focus on?
In fact, the US differs from other countries. Japan only has the Nikkei Index, Taiwan only has the Weighted Index, but the US stock market, due to the large size of listed companies and the complexity of industries, has given rise to several highly representative index systems. Among them, the four most important indices each have their own focus. Understanding their differences is key to grasping the pulse of the US economy.
The Four Pillars of the US Market: Understanding the True Role of Each Index
One thing investors must clarify before investing: these indices are barometers used to reflect specific parts of the US economic system, not a single standard.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was created earliest (1896). At that time, the US economy was centered around manufacturing, with 30 industrial companies.

When it comes to high-dividend stocks, many people's first thought is "Stock Mogul" Buffett. This legendary investor has over 50% of his assets allocated to high-dividend stocks, demonstrating his dedication to stable dividend-paying companies. Many investors are also starting to follow suit, making high-dividend stocks a core part of their asset allocation.
But once the ex-dividend date is involved, novice investors are often troubled by two questions: Will the stock price definitely drop on the ex-dividend date? What exactly does the ex-dividend date mean? How should I choose the right entry timing?
What does the ex-dividend date mean? Is a stock price drop really unavoidable?
First, it’s important to understand that the ex-dividend date is the date when a company officially stops the right to receive dividends. On this day, those who already hold the stock are entitled to receive the cash dividend, while those who buy after this date will not participate in this dividend payout.
Theoretically, since cash has flowed out of the company, the stock price should naturally decline. But the key point is: a stock price drop on the ex-dividend date is not necessarily guaranteed.
This is because stock prices are influenced by multiple factors, including...

Recently, the New Taiwan Dollar (NTD) against the US dollar has experienced unprecedented large fluctuations in decades. On May 2nd, it surged by 5% in a single day, marking the largest single-day increase in 40 years; on May 5th, it continued to rise by 4.92%, and intraday broke through the psychological barrier of 30 yuan, with a high of 29.59 yuan. In just two trading days, the NTD appreciated nearly 10%, triggering the third-largest trading volume in the history of the foreign exchange market. What is the cause of this abnormal phenomenon where the NTD is strengthening against the US dollar amid the dollar’s appreciation trend? Will the NTD continue to rise? How should investors seize the opportunity?
Three Major Drivers Behind the NTD Breaking Through 30 Yuan
Trump’s Tariff Policy as the Trigger Point
From the beginning of this year until April 2nd, the NTD was still depreciating by 1%. The turning point came from Trump’s government’s reciprocal tariff policy. When Trump announced a 90-day delay in implementing this policy, the market immediately formed two important expectations:
First, a global wave of centralized procurement will be triggered, with Taiwan as a typical export-oriented economy

Palladium's Basic Properties and Industrial Value
Palladium is a metal characterized by relatively stable properties among precious metals, with higher hardness, expensive price, and significant volatility. This element was discovered in 1803 by British chemist William Hyde Wollaston in platinum ore. He dissolved natural platinum ore in aqua regia, and through a series of chemical treatments (adding sulfur, borax heating), he ultimately obtained shimmering metallic particles. The name "Palladium" is derived from the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom, Athena (Pallas-Athena), in honor of this discovery.
In practical applications, palladium's uses are quite extensive—automotive industry, electronics manufacturing, dental materials, metal alloys, and more. Among these, the most critical application is in the automotive industry, accounting for 80%-85%. Palladium serves as an excellent catalyst in automotive catalytic converters, effectively reducing tailpipe emissions from gasoline vehicles. This is also why, as global emissions regulations tighten, the demand for palladium continues to grow.

The biggest frustration for office workers is — not knowing where to invest their money, researching stocks is too brain-consuming, and putting money in the bank can't keep up with inflation. Actually, it doesn't have to be so complicated; funds are designed for people like you.
What exactly is a fund?
Simply put, a fund is a group of people pooling their money together and entrusting it to professional fund managers for investment. You don't need to spend effort researching the market; they handle it for you. When profits are made, they are shared; when losses occur, they are borne together. This model is officially called a "securities investment fund," issued by banks or brokerages, with fund managers responsible for investment strategies and institutions like banks responsible for safekeeping the funds.
Why do so many people choose funds? The 5 major advantages tell you
1. Professionals take action, reliable
Funds are managed by teams with deep market experience; they study market trends all day and are definitely more wise than retail investors.
2. Multiple eggs in one basket
Funds diversify investments across stocks, bonds, commodities, and other categories.
