SPCX Rips Higher, IREN Still Bullish
🐯 Good morning, Tigers! It’s been another strong stretch for the AI trade, with several names now reaching important levels. 🔥 $SpaceX(SPCX)$ is up roughly 40% from the bottom we highlighted and is now approaching short-term resistance around $160. I’ve already closed my position. If I were still trading it with a short-term horizon, I’d be looking to take profits between current levels and $160. Longer term, $180–190 remains possible if momentum holds. ⚡ $IREN Ltd(IREN)$ continues to show a bullish internal structure. I’m still long and looking for a breakout from here. 🎯 $NEBIUS(NBIS)$ has also played out almost exactly as expected after we identified the buy z

💰 12 Stocks Institutions Are Buying on the Dip
12 stocks large institutions are buying back at cheap prices. No one is even paying attention to these right now: I'd add 2-3 of these stocks right now! Which ones are you interested in the most? 1. $PayPal(PYPL)$ down ~80% Stripe and Advent bidding at 12x earnings, Venmo barely monetized. 2. $Nike(NKE)$ down ~75% Iconic brand at 52-week lows, turnaround priced as permanent decline. 3. $Uber(UBER)$ down ~22% 15x earnings, $10B free cash flow, robotaxis scaling to 15 cities. 4. $Lululemon Athletica(LULU)$ down ~77% Under 10x earnings, no debt, China growing while sentiment bottoms. 5.

Why Rising Yields Could Crush Stocks
When yields spike fast, $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ can crash 20% in 1 day. 6 things are pushing yields up at once. In plain terms: 1. Inflation won't fully die. University of Michigan year ahead inflation expectations rose again in August, a 5th straight month above 4%. Not good when prices are rising! 2. The government is borrowing way more than expected. The CBO just raised its deficit estimate to $2.1 trillion, $200 billion above February's figure. Total federal debt is near $39.8 trillion, and the annual interest bill now exceeds what Washington spends on Medicare or the military. 3. Oil. The Iran-Oman talks over the Strait of Hormuz have traders watching energy prices, and expensive oil feeds straight into inflation. 4. Nobody knows wha

Everyone Is Making the Same Trade, It's all about AI
It’s 13-F season, which means we’re getting position disclosures from hedge funds and asset managers as of the end of the second quarter. This isn’t something I usually follow, but this quarter I think it’s especially interesting. Not because there are some brilliant moves, but because everyone is making the same trade. They’re all going long the AI buildout in one form or another. Some are buying chip companies, others are buying chip equipment, and some are playing energy, but it’s all the same trade. And I find that fascinating because it’s a consensus trade that everyone thinks will work. More on that in a moment. Hedge Funds Making the Same Bet One of the things I always find interesting in the public discourse about stocks is how much everyone is just talking their book. And this qua

Liquidity Is Driving the S&P 500
It’s not just about AI hype. Liquidity remains a major driver of the market. The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ has been closely tracking Global M2 with an approximately 11-week lag, and that relationship is currently pointing toward a potential 8,200 level for the index. At the same time, the AI infrastructure boom is starting to show up in corporate earnings. Massive spending on data centers, chips, power, networking and related infrastructure is creating a broad earnings tailwind across the market. The combination of expanding liquidity and accelerating AI-driven earnings could provide the S&P 500 with another leg higher.

Hardware-Software Seesaw, SPY Always Rises
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ The subtitle of this article is: "We are all just pieces in Wall Street's game." To sum up the recent market action: squeeze the shorts to kill the bears, then nurture the bulls; then crash the market to kill the bulls and feed the bears — and so the cycle continues, giving SPY fresh momentum every time. The SPY block trade worth noting is this August 31-expiry 785 call $SPY 20260831 785.0 CALL$, opening 33,000 contracts — this is a roll, and the pre-roll position was the August 14-expiry 750 call $SPY 20260814 750.0 CALL$.

Xiaomi Q2 Earnings Strategy: Focus on the EV Business
I. Smartphone Business Holds the Fort, Overall Results in Line with Expectations Smartphone average selling price hit an all-time high (passing through rising costs) → Q2 smartphone gross margin remained above 8%. Shipments exceeded expectations: Omdia data showed Q2 shipments of 31.2 million units, 15% above Morgan Stanley's forecast. New model launches and export plans are key to restarting growth: EV sales have slowed significantly in 2026 year-to-date.

8/17 Pre-Market Thoughts: Anthropic Targets $2 Trillion IPO
One-sentence theme: The AI primary market is red-hot (Anthropic's $2 trillion IPO pushes valuations to the limit), while secondary market funds continue to go long on the Nasdaq and short Hong Kong stocks. The tone remains unchanged: Sell Puts on pullbacks, don't chase highs. I. Sentiment Focus: Anthropic's $2 Trillion IPO — Valuation Supported by the "Future" Valuation maxed out: According to Reuters, Anthropic's IPO valuation is anchored to revenue expectations two years out — projected 2028 revenue of $190–200 billion (far above the $47 billion annualized run rate in May). This framework could support a valuation approaching $2 trillion. Growth is staggering: According to Bloomberg, Q2 revenue exceeded $11.5 billion, up 14x YoY and 2.4x QoQ (from $4.73 billion last quarter). Anthropic i

$TSLA 20260828 330.0 PUT$ Support / Resistance 📈📉: Support: $348-351, $337, $328-330, $318 Resistance: $348-$351, $364, $374 Outlook 📝: TSLA opened above $337 today. If TSLA is able to hold above $337, we may be heading in for more short term upside towards $348-351. If TSLA manage to break and hold $348-351, we should be able to see more short term upside towards $364. Else, if TSLA rejects at $348-$351, then watch for short term downside towards support level at $337 again. If TSLA also rejects below $337, then watch for $328-$330 support level.

$ServiceNow(NOW)$ ServiceNow ($NOW) has recently gone through a meaningful pullback, followed by a rebound that has started to restore some investor confidence. For me, however, the volatility does not change the long-term thesis. I continue to DCA because I see the pullback as an opportunity to accumulate a high-quality enterprise software company at a more attractive valuation rather than trying to perfectly time the bottom. The recent weakness was partly driven by concerns over the broader SaaS sector and expectations for a softer second half, but ServiceNow's underlying business remains strong. The biggest reason I remain bullish is the company's ability to turn AI from a buzzword into real enterprise spending. In Q2 2026, ServiceNow gener

$CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ The covered call for this lot of CRWV expired just couple of cents in the money. Technically looks a little indecisive direction to a little bearish after its run up from its earning reports. While o can easily roll the call contract up a couple of dollars and still collect a decent premium, but decided to end this wheel cycle. Will find another opportunity to enter CSP when there's a dip in price action. Happy to take profit for now.
TOPApplying that mindset here, letting CRWV cool down before writing another CSP seems way smarter than jumping back in while momentum is fading. Still working on sticking to my journal, but learning to value capital preservation over constantly keeping capital deployed has made trading a lot less stressful.
