10/21 Strategy Preview | AI Is Running Hot — Earnings Will Set the Direction

① What Happened Today AI compute demand is exploding, and tech stocks face a packed earnings test. SMCI and SPCX beat expectations: SMCI pre-announced fiscal Q1 revenue with a midpoint of $19B, far above the market's $14.94B estimate. SPCX Q3 revenue grew 161% year over year and it raised next quarter's revenue guidance sharply. AI server and cloud compute demand is still strong, but high capex and margin pressure are still risks. The semiconductor supply chain is strong: SMCI lifted DELL and HPE, and optical names CRDO and LITE also strengthened. SK Hynix finished a 40 trillion won buyback early and plans to cancel shares, which boosted memory chips, but this round of buyback buying is now over. Musk signals a merger: Tesla and SpaceX have set up a committee to study a potential merger. T

META Earnings: Options Are Crazy Expensive — Three Strategies for the 650 to 745 Range

1. Basics | AI Is a Long-Term Positive, but Compute Is a Short-Term Limit Meta is expected to report 3Q26 revenue of $63.6B, up 24.2% year over year, with an operating margin of 45.1%. The core ads business stays strong. Instagram US daily average use rose 13% year over year to 58 minutes. Muse has over 8.6 million downloads and over 1.9 million daily active users. AI monetization potential is worth watching. Compute spending keeps climbing. 2027 capex is expected at $209B, up 45% year over year, and free cash flow could turn negative in 2026. The earnings focus: can ad growth and Muse monetization offset the cash flow pressure from AI spending? 2. Volatility Estimate and Key Levels META's current IV is 47.66%, with an IV percentile of 92%. That means implied volatility is near historic hi

Futures Positioning Watch: US Index Shorts Retreat as Oil Bsulls Rush for the Exit

What Is CFTC Data, Why Does It Matter, and What Should Investors Watch?  The Commitments of Traders (COT) report, published weekly by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), is a key gauge of fund flows in global futures markets. Its main value lies in revealing who is driving prices. Market movements ultimately reflect competition among different types of capital, and CFTC data allow these participants to be analyzed separately.   The analysis follows three main steps: Identify the dominant capital.   For commodity futures such as WTI crude oil, gold and silver, the focus is on Managed Money net positions, which gauge the directional bias of speculative capital. Producer positions reveal commercial hedging pressure and help assess positioning structure and marke

$SMCI 20261030 25.0 PUT$ Conditional view: Super Micro Computer (SMCI) watchlist looks valuation-attractive but high-risk, rather than a straightforward “good buy now.” The central issue is not AI-server demand—it is whether the company can convert exceptional order growth into durable margins and cash flow without more balance-sheet or governance setbacks. Current price: US$31.31 on 2026-10-20, down 2.46% intraday. It is 43.43% below its 52-week high of US$55.35 and sits at the 32.98th percentile of its 52-week range. Recent momentum remains weak: down 19.86% over five trading days and 24.62% over 20 trading days. Valuation is the bull case. SMCI trades at 9.60x trailing P/E, 7.37x forward P/E, and 0.53x sales.

For me, this is not simply about a toy company selling toys. I am looking at the strength of its brands, its gaming business and its ability to turn intellectual property into recurring revenue. 📊 The numbers are worth paying attention to! According to my trading platform’s earnings screenshot, Hasbro reported quarterly revenue of US$1.60 billion against estimates of US$1.48 billion. Earnings per share came in at US$2.90, compared with expectations of US$1.857

$IAU 20261030 77.5 PUT$ 🖤💗 BLINK FANS: How I Scalp IAU Gold Options for a Quick Profit! 🪙📈 💗 1. Why I Bought IAU PUT Options Today, I decided to trade IAU, the gold ETF, using options rather than buying or selling the ETF shares directly. My strategy was simple: look for a short-term opportunity, enter at a reasonable price and take profit when the market gave me a chance. I bought one IAU $77.50 put option expiring on 30 October at $0.83. A put option generally increases in value when the underlying asset falls, although its price also depends on time remaining, implied volatility and other factors. My trade was not a prediction that gold would collapse. I was looking for a short-term move that I could trade carefully. 📊 2

$Quanta(PWR)$ 📉 Why I Am Buying Quanta Services (PWR): Looking for Opportunity in the Sell-Off 🐶 1️⃣ My Reason for Buying PWR I am looking at Quanta Services (PWR) because I believe a sharp price decline can sometimes create an opportunity for investors who are willing to look beyond short-term market sentiment.

The core appeal is a profitable, cash-generative containership lessor trading below book value; the key offset is that consensus expects earnings to decline through 2027 and the share price is in a short- and medium-term downtrend. Valuation/income are compelling. At $40.76 on 2026-10-21, GSL trades at 3.98x trailing P/E , 4.11x forward P/E , and 0.75x book value —a 25.00% discount to book .
