# Welcome aboard 👋 Here's where real market debates happen

👋 I'm **Captain Leo**, and I run the Longbridge community.

Below are three things worth knowing on day one: what people here argued about recently, who you can learn from, and how to join in and earn rewards.

> 💬 **Short on time? Just leave a comment below and tell me one thing you want to figure out. I reply to every one.**

## 🔥 01 Catch this week's buzz

*Every Friday I round up the week's best posts, and this section always shows the latest one.*

**🏦 DBS and UOB: two misses, two different reasons**

@TheInvestingIguana found two lines moving in opposite directions inside DBS's numbers: non-interest income down 96%, interest income up. @H3H3 argued that a drop in profit doesn't mean the core business is getting weaker.

👉 Trading blip or margin trend: which worries you more?

**📉 Intel to AMD: a trillion dollars gone in a day**

@Fattycat asked whether the money poured into AI infrastructure will ever earn enough back. @Tonc thinks the market may be rotating from hardware to software.

**🛞 Grab: one full turn of the options wheel**

Sell a put, get assigned, then sell a call at the same strike. "My objective is not to capture every dollar of upside," @optionspuppy wrote. "It is to build a repeatable income strategy."

## 🎤 02 Learn from the best Bridgers

*Bridgers' Stories is our community interview column. In each episode, one member explains how they actually invest, then opens the comments for an AMA (Ask Me Anything).*

**Latest episode · EP03 with** @optionspuppy 

He was a maths and science tutor for 23 years. Now he writes the 🐶 Beginner Guide series for people starting from zero. His biggest rule:

> **"Never take a position that would force me to panic."**

## ✍️ 03 Say hi and claim your rewards

Start as small as you like. Every step below earns something.

**🎁 Leave one comment**

Tell me **what you most want to figure out here**, or just say hi. Any length works. For example:

> "How do people actually make money with options?"
> 
> "Just opened my account. Want to understand SG bank stocks first."
> 
> "Hi, here to learn 👋"

-   🎁 **Every comment earns** **88 Task Coins****.** No word count.
-   ⚓ I'll reply to every comment within 24 hours, and point you to a member or post that matches what you're into.

**📝 Post your own thought & win more prize**

-   **Star Creator Program**: no sign-up, no bar. Every day we pick up to six posts from the community, and each one earns **288 Task Coins**. The first time you're picked, you also get an **S$2 stock cash card** (New Voice).

**🙋 More community games to improve your skills**

-   **Daily Market Talk** : one thread every trading day on @Captain's Watch. It's the easiest place to catch up and chip in.
-   **Earnings Challenges** on @Captain's Watch and **Market Predict & Win** on @Captain's Compass during earnings season and market events for prizes. Follow both so you don't miss the next one.

You don't need a thesis, a chart or a strong opinion. A few sentences is a post. "Why did my REIT fall when rates came down?" is a perfectly good one.
