🌟🌟🌟 $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ is a car company that identifies itself more as a robotics company these days. It funds its AI dreams by selling electric vehicles but values itself more on software, autonomous robotaxis and humanoid robots. You can say that Tesla's car side makes up the vast majority of its revenue. However the AI/Robotic side drives the tech heavy valuation, future promises and heavy capital expenditure spending on supercomputers. Which side am I on? I am on the side of the bank account. Tesla bills like a sci-fi robotics firm but delivers like an automaker dealing with earthy production lines while facing tough competition. Calling Tesla a purely AI company is a little too early as it is in its first stage of AI grow
🌟🌟🌟I am definitely bullish on $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ . The competition maybe intense but NVIDIA is still dominant in the semiconductor arena. Getting NVIDIA at a forward P/E ratio of just 20x is like finding a luxury supercar priced like a used hatchback. The market is completely ignoring that its infrastructure demand is fundamentally capacity constrained, not demand constrained. Big Tech hyperscalers are continuing to increase their Capex targets. With NVIDIA reporting its next earnings on August 26, the truth will be revealed that NVIDIA actually runs the global computing grid. The AI infrastructure isn't stopping and Jensen Huang isn't trading his signature leather jacket for a cardigan anytime soon. The 12 month average tar

Why I Continue to Hold Palantir (PLTR) With Conviction – Strong Earnings Can Help Stabilise Future Pullbacks latest earnings report once again reminded me why Palantir remains one of my highest conviction holdings. After reporting another outstanding quarter, the stock surged more than 14% in after-hours trading. Revenue reached approximately US$1.94 billion, growing by more than 90% year over year, while adjusted earnings per share exceeded expectations. Commercial revenue also accelerated sharply, showing that demand is no longer coming only from government contracts but increasingly from private enterprises embracing artificial intelligence. Despite the sharp rally, my conviction has not changed. In fact, it has become even stronger. 🚀 My Investment Thesis Has Always Been About Earnings
It might be a bullish event but in two days, with the release of a lot more shares (more than existing free float), the flooding of market with more shares is itself a bearish event. Thus, I am neutral for tonight's result release. If the premium is low enough, I am still hoping to buy put option on it... wait and see... I have never got the guess correct for these events, so don't trust my judgement [Tongue] [Facepalm] [Silence] [Chuckle] Then again, being first to vote and comment, will add that a lot more shares are waiting on the sidelines for release into the market. I would think as a middle term, this is negative for the company shares. The flooding of market with a lot more shares would outweigh positive events from the company. Keep eyes 👀 open and be aware what you are buyi
Alibaba Jumps 7% as Hong Kong Tech Stocks Rally, 5x Long DLC Gains 35%
Hong Kong technology stocks opened higher on Monday (3 August), led by a sharp rally in $BABA-W(09988)$ , which gained more than 7% in early trading on the release of its latest AI model with performance claiming to rival Anthropic. The Alibaba 5x Long DLC correspondingly rose by around 35% before paring some of its gains, while the Alibaba 5x Short DLC declined by a similar magnitude. The broader rally reflected renewed buying interest in heavyweight internet and AI-related counters. As of around 10am Singapore time, $BIDU-SW(09888)$ had climbed approximately 3.8%, followed by $KUAISHOU-W(01024)$ at 3.6% and

For period 22 to 29 July 2026: The top DLC gainer for this week is $Xiaomi 5xLongSG271116(Z4LW.SI)$ , which gained 116% as underlying $XIAOMI-W(01810)$ rose 19.5% over the same period on the unveiling of the Skynomad EREV specs, which showcased impressive fuel economy ahead of its July 30 debut and sparked investor interest. The share price surge also came as Chinese chipmaker CXMT made its trading debut, of which Xiaomi was an early investor.

Palantir Produced a Receipt. Micron Still Only Has an IOU.
Good morning. Somebody got paid last night. Not the name you're thinking of. $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ rose 14.25 per cent after hours on Monday. The same day, $Micron Technology(MU)$ rose 0.79 per cent and $SK hynix(SKHY)$ fell 0.70 per cent. I ended the last piece saying $Apple(AAPL)$ had signed for the shortage and the side collecting the money hadn't. On Monday it signed. The signature doesn't belong to a memory maker. Palantir's quarter: revenue of US$1.935 billion, up 93 per cent year on year, commercial revenue growing at around 150 per cent, a
$Amazon.com(AMZN)$ I would be cautious about calling either a durable base or the cycle top based on one day's events. Amazon's move above US$3 trillion reflects improving confidence that AI investment is producing durable cloud demand. Multi-year AI infrastructure contracts improve revenue visibility, which justifies higher valuations if execution continues. Microsoft's and Google's gains reinforce that this is an industry-wide repricing rather than an Amazon-only story. Bezos' planned sale, however, should be interpreted carefully. Founders frequently sell under pre-arranged plans for diversification, liquidity, philanthropy, or tax planning. A multi-billion-dollar sale is not, by itself, evidence that management believes the stock has pea

On the 2nd last day of July 2026, I have shared a post by $Morgan Stanley(MS)$ Adam Jonas warning that $SpaceX(SPCX)$ might fall to $100 per share. click here !to read the post. When the post was out on 30 Jul 2026 , SPCX’s then share price was $113.50 /share. By the time Fri, 31 Jul 2026 was here, SPCX closed off the month, at $108.37; losing -4.52% from the post’s earlier stock price of $113.50. It wasn’t too long ago that the space technology company founded by the world's richest person, Musk, set the record for the largest IPO in history. For a moment, it be
Stock Market Correction May Be Over, but It’s Too Early to Call a Rally
The low-side bid we had kept sitting under the Nasdaq for two weeks was never filled. With the index stabilising and rebounding off 27,000, and with several other headline developments turning, the correction that has run for more than a month may now be close to its end. What we do expect from here is dispersion: the divide between what stays strong and what has already topped out should become considerably more visible. Set against the S&P and the Dow, the Nasdaq was clearly the US index that gave back the most in this round of correction. Gains and losses share the same source, so it is no surprise that AI and technology names — the hardest-hit group — were what dragged the index lower. In practice, though, the pullback did not even reach the 61.8% retracement. That is an indirect r
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ delivered an exceptional Q2 2026 financial report on August 3, 2026, blowing past Wall Street expectations across top-line revenue, net margins, and forward guidance. Below is a complete earnings breakdown, addressing valuation concerns, core takeaways, strategic positioning, and options playability. 1. Earnings Overview: Key Numbers at a Glance FY 2026 Guidance Upgrades: Full-Year Revenue: Raised to $8.150B – $8.158B (representing ~82% YoY growth). U.S. Commercial Revenue: Raised to >$3.424B (at least +134% YoY). Free Cash Flow: Raised to $4.5B – $4.7B. 2. Valuation Concerns: Has Palantir Outgrown Its Premium? Prior to this print, PLTR had pulled back significantly from its late-2025 highs due to market anxie
Will NFP Shift Rate Hike Expectations?Is a New Wave of Market Volatility Coming?
The first week of August is formally here. In terms of how the calendar falls, the opening week of a month tends to have an outsized effect on volatility in US trading, chiefly because the US non-farm payrolls report — the release markets watch most closely — lands early in the month. In a market as rate-sensitive as the current one, payrolls feed straight into rate expectations and therefore into a wider trading range. On top of that, the weekend's US–Iran flare-up has left the progress of the “so-called” 60-day negotiation window genuinely hard to read, and that is another source of instability in the market right now. A market like this, however, is actually easier to profit from — provided you approach it with a relatively short-term mindset. $Inve
AWS AI Growth, Enterprise Demand, and Amazon Options Strategies Explained
$Amazon.com(AMZN)$’s blowout Q2 2026 earnings report provided concrete proof that its massive artificial intelligence investments are moving from capital expenditure into accelerated revenue. However, translating that momentum into a trading strategy depends heavily on whether you currently own the stock or are looking to deploy capital synthetically. 1. Is AI Spending Paying Off for AWS? Yes, the direct revenue monetization is accelerating faster than expected. 37% YoY Growth: AWS reported $42.2 billion in net sales, marking its fastest growth rate in 18 quarters. $25B AI & Silicon Run Rates: AWS's AI business and custom chip business (Trainium/Inferentia) each independently crossed a $25 billion annualized revenue run rate, both expanding at
🌟🌟🌟 $Intel(INTC)$ recent pullback to USD 91 mark is a great opportunity for patient investors to get on the bus. Why? This correction took place despite Intel reporting its fastest quarterly growth revenue in 15 years. CEO Lip Bu Tan has done a great job in turning around Intel. Besides the US government is also backing Intel too with a 10% equity stake. This makes them the largest shareholder of Intel. Intel is definitely a great stock to buy and hold long term.🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰
$ARM Holdings(ARM)$ Semiconductor stocks have gone through another sharp pullback, but I see this as an opportunity rather than a reason to step aside. That's why I continue to build my position in Arm Holdings (ARM). Market corrections often create the best entry points for high-quality companies, especially those with strong structural growth drivers. While short-term sentiment can fluctuate with interest rates and AI spending concerns, Arm's long-term story remains firmly intact. What gives me confidence is Arm's unique business model. Unlike traditional chipmakers, Arm doesn't manufacture semiconductors—it designs the architecture that powers billions of devices worldwide and earns royalties as customers ship more chips. Today, Arm is expa
This is the latest allocation of $500 into a personal portfolio of stocks with 10x potential over the next decade. I’ll allocate from the “Asymmetric Universe” of stocks. Today, that universe has 25 stocks that I’ve covered in spotlight articles, and the universe will grow in time. Not all stocks covered will receive an investment, and allocations may be made to the same stock multiple times. Here are the rules of allocation. Invest $500 in total new capital each month. If the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ or $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ is 20% below its all-time high, this allocation will increase to $1,000 monthly. If the S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite is down 30%, I’ll add $1,500, and so on.

🚀 Palantir Surges After “Otherworldly” Earnings — Can 93% Growth Finally Justify the Valuation?
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ Palantir has just delivered one of the strongest earnings reports I have seen "from a major software company! Wow. The company did not merely beat expectations. It nearly doubled revenue, accelerated both sides of its business, generated enormous free cash flow and raised its full year outlook by roughly half a billion dollars. Shares jumped approximately 12–14% after hours, but one major question remains: Has Palantir finally grown into its premium valuation, or is the market once again getting carried away? 📊 The headline numbers Palantir reported: - Revenue: $1.94 billion, up 93% year over year - Adjusted earnings: $0.41 per share - U.S. commercial revenue: $764 million, up 149% - U.S. g
The US Commercial Real Estate (CRE) market has just been through its third major correction in 40 years. Indeed, the 2020’s downturn has been similar in magnitude to the early-90s downturn and 2008 crisis. But a couple of interesting things stand out. First, those other two major corrections in the commercial real estate market sowed the seeds for decadal booms (a possibility that is completely out of mind for most investors as sentiment on real estate remains deeply pessimistic). The other point of interest is that the bottom looks to already be in, and prices are stabilizing and ticking up again... While there may still be risks, this is the type of thing investors should pay particular attention to, and is exactly the type of setup I hunt for in my work at Topdown Charts. Bonus Chart: R
