🐯 Earnings Beats Aren’t Enough: Microsoft, Alphabet and the Next Test for Stocks
Strong earnings are supporting the market — but cash flow, guidance and interest rates are deciding which stocks investors reward. Hey Tigers! 🐯 Q3 earnings season is gathering pace, but this week has made one thing clear: a strong headline result does not guarantee a higher share price. Microsoft and Alphabet reported after the October 28 close, delivering very different signals about the AI investment cycle. Microsoft’s cash generation strengthened its growth story.

My view: earnings can support the market’s recovery, but the next leg higher will requir
Fed Decision Tonight: Which ETFs Could Benefit From a Rate Pause?
The Federal Reserve's next interest-rate decision is approaching, and investors are watching closely for clues about where monetary policy goes from here. While markets largely expect the Fed to keep rates unchanged, the bigger question is whether policymakers will signal that further tightening remains on the table.

The Fed's October meeting concludes on October 28, with the decision sched
Anthropic Files for Historic IPO: Amazon, Google & Broadcom Lead as Beneficiaries
Hi, tigers🐯 On October 26, Anthropic — the AI startup behind the Claude model family — publicly filed its S-1 registration statement with the SEC, setting the stage for what could be the largest IPO of the year.
