Affirm Stock: Is the Selloff an Opportunity or a Warning Sign?

In this breakdown, I’ll walk you through a comprehensive analysis of Affirm’s business and how it could be affected by the new trade policy developments. I’ll also share my proprietary valuation model and intrinsic value calculation, and assess Affirm’s valuation using the forward price-to-

PE at a Historic Low! DCA Nvidia at $90 or Stay in Cash?
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $S&P 500(.SPX)$ Nvidia’s valuation is screaming value—or is it a trap? As of April 7, 2025, Nvidia (NVDA) is trading at $90, with its PE at a record low of 30 and Forward PE at 20. That’s a far cry from its 2021 peak Forward PE of 60+. After a brutal sell-off amid trade war fears, the stock’s rebounded 5% this week, sparking debate: Did you profit from the dip? Is this bounce your exit signal? Should you dollar-cost average (DCA) at $90, or stay in cash? Let’s break down the numbers, market context, and strategies to decide if Nvidia’s a screaming buy—or a reason to keep your powder dry. Nvidia’s Valuation: A Rare Opportunity? Nvidia’s PE of 30 and Forward PE of 20 are dirt cheap compar

So to answer the question re tariff wars between USA and China, id like to do a wee technique used in strategic management called scenario planning, here goes: China will return fire on the new 104% tariff imposed by America, talks will break down and tariffs will continue to escalate to insane levels... 200%, 400%, heck it doesn't matter. Tariffs Will become a moot point, essentially China and America will halt all trade. China has a competitive advantage now, because the USA has blanket tariffs on the rest of the world and China doesn't, the latter will build stronger trade relations with the rest of the world. Canada is a obvious choice here, and its already happening with oil and gas. While the White House will continue with its ill conceived tariff plan (heck the gdp calculations they
TOPTo be honest, I don’t mind buying NVDA at 50 or 30 (am I using a time machine?), PLTR at 30 and Bitcoin at 20k, and I say, hell yeah. [Happy] as long as we don’t nuke ourselves, markets always bounce back.

THE MISINFORMATION CIRCUS THAT HAS BECOME OUR REALITY
The most frustrating part isn’t just the headlines themselves -- it’s that we’re now trading in a market so fragile, so hypersensitive, that a rumor can move trillions. What we saw the past two days wasn’t about inflation, earnings, or rates -- it was about how deeply broken the communication loop has become between policy and capital.One headline said the 104% tariffs on Chinese imports had already gone into effect at noon. $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ moved. Traders scrambled to reprice, to hedge, to get ahead of what looked like a sudden acceleration in enforcement. Then, just moments later, the White House Press Secretary said she might have been misquoted -- the tariffs weren’t

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ 🚨 $NVDA: The $100 Siren Song and the Abyss of Institutional Absence, A Trader’s Revelation 🚨 As the clock ticks into the early hours of 09Apr25 I find Nvidia ($NVDA) flickering across my screens at $94.35 in the overnight session, a ghostly retreat from its $96.30 close, down 1.37% from the regular session’s end. Earlier, it danced tantalisingly close to the $100 mark, peaking at $105.85 intraday, only to recoil as if scorched by the sun. Let me be clear, that $100 level is no promised land, it’s a siren song, luring retail dreamers to their doom while the institutional titans watch from the shadows, unmoved. This isn’t a breakout, it’s a reckoning. Zooming out, I see the yellow zig-zag pattern etched across the chart like a seismog

MY BIGGEST ADVICE RIGHT NOW FOR ANYONE IN THE MARKET
$Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ This is where most investors make their biggest mistake -- they either freeze or flee. They stare at the red on their screen and forget that this is the moment when the next leg of alpha starts to build.Because it’s not just about being risk-on or risk-off. You don’t need to be deploying capital today to make this time valuable. What you do need to be doing is the work.That’s the difference. That’s how you come out of this stronger.Because this market will turn. It always does. The reset ends. Rates stabilize. Sentiment shifts. Suddenly, people want exposure again -- and if you’re waiting until that moment to figure out what to own, you’re already too late.You need to study them so well that when we do bottom out, your

Has it ever occurred to you that if you suddenly introduce sudden tariffs that vary greatly from country to country, you will face multiple practical obstacles at the customs operational level?Feedback from the current point of view, the actual possibility of landing almost 0, including several aspects:Technical bottleneck: classification identification and physical limitations of origin verificationComplexity of commodity classificationThe difference in duty rates between medical device parts and automotive parts may be as high as 30%, but it is difficult for the existing customs system to achieve accurate identification.For example, mixed-function electromechanical products (e.g., medical device housings containing sensors) may involve multiple tax code classifications at the same time,
