When there is no Jungle Book (rules of stock market), 2 elephants are fighting (trade war between US and China), both would get injured (lose-lose) while observers (other countries including Singapore) will also get the splash. The best protection for weaker animals (retail traders or investors) may be to exit and hide in a safer place with precious asset, watching remotely waiting until the crisis is over to rebuild the jungle of global stock market.
Remember the story of movie Jungle Book (2016 version)? Sometimes it may take an unexpected wild jungle fire (global financial crisis) to wake everyone up, knowing the common enemy of unlimited greed and fear. Thinking positively, every crisis (financial, political, cultural, etc) in mankind is a wake-up call, an alarm for change to survive in long term. Human is able to adapt to changes after understanding the rules of stock market.
The jungle is still healthy (global economy is still bullish, eg. better job market), when these giants know that there are enough resources for everyone on this planet, they will learn to manage the emotions, sharing peacefully in an win-win manner, then the bull market could continue. If not, each of them may have to learn from a painful lesson in future.
Economy could be an unlimited pot of soup, each of us have a spoon with long handle, it is hard for us to feed only ourselves (I Win – You Lose) but if we could feed each other (Win – Win), everyone could share the wealth of the world together.
Until then, stock market is still like Hunger Game, a place for everyone (speculators, traders, investors, beginners, big funds, even government, etc) to pursue the wealth with various strategies (alliance, standalone, etc).
