$Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF(XXRP)$ ETF (1.25x XRPUSD) – 1-Month RS Leader Among the Top 3 Crypto/USD PairsWhile I’ve been sharing my rationale, discussions, and poll around taking $iShares Ethereum Trust ETF(ETHA)$ over BTCUSD ETF with entry on July 9 (still my largest MTD position), XXRP surfaced in today’s ETF scan after a notable spike in share volume over the last two weeks, meeting my 1M volume threshold on tradingview.

At its July 31st meeting, the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged at 4.25%–4.5%, but something unusual happened: two Fed governors—Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees—broke ranks and voted for an immediate rate cut. It’s the first time in over 30 years that two FOMC members have simultaneously dissented in favor of easing. In its statement, the Fed acknowledged that economic growth has "moderated," though it continued to describe the labor market as “strong” and inflation as “slightly above target.” The central bank also warned that the economic outlook remains “highly uncertain.” This mixed messaging reflects a growing dilemma for policymakers: on one hand, tariffs could keep inflation elevated, arguing for staying higher for longer; on the other, job m
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ [Call] The Lesson of Patience and Conviction In 2020, I invested in a company I believed in—my 4th-best-performing holding. Its fundamentals were strong, but when the storm hit in 2022, doubt crept in. The market turned bearish, sentiment soured, and even my own conviction wavered [Sigh] I hesitated, missing the chance to dollar-cost average (DCA) when prices were low[Sigh] Yet, time revealed the truth. The company's solid foundation carried it through the turbulence, rewarding those who held—or better yet, bought—when others feared [Serious] The lesson? Fundamentals endure. Market sentiment is fickle, but a strong business weather
🔍 Keppel Surprises On Earnings — But Is The Rally Sustainable? Keppel Corporation ($Keppel(BN4.SI)$ ) delivered a solid beat last quarter—and markets responded. The stock popped nearly 5% on earnings day, while Keppel $KEPPEL REIT(K71U.SI)$ rose ~2% and Keppel DC REIT ($Keppel DC Reit A(X1JU.SI)$ ) gained ~2.65%. Is this move based on real underlying progress—or just short‑term optimism on urban infrastructure investing? Let’s unpack what’s behind the bounce. --- 🏗️ Keppel 2.0: From Oil‑Rigs to Smart Infrastructure Keppel is shedding its legacy offshore & marine image in favor of an asset‑light urban infrastructure strategy.

UnitedHealth Group’s 7.5% Drop Reflects Reset Expectations—But Is the Worst Already Priced In?
$UnitedHealth(UNH)$ UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) released its second-quarter earnings, and the market reacted swiftly—shares fell more than 5% on the day. While there are both encouraging and concerning aspects to the report, this latest development reflects a pivotal moment for long-term investors. Today, I’ll walk you through what surprised me, what didn’t, and why I opted not to buy the dip—despite holding a position purchased at $420 per share, now down roughly 37% from that level. Although my UNH stake remains up 31% overall across the broader portfolio, I refrained from averaging down today. Here's why. A Massive EPS Miss Overshadows Revenue Beat The company reported a significant earnings miss, with adjusted EPS coming in at $4.08, well be
Texas Instruments Slides as Tariff Headwinds and Bleak Forecast Cloud Chip Demand
$Texas Instruments(TXN)$ Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) experienced an 11 percent drop in its stock price following its Q2 2025 earnings release, as executives delivered a cautious outlook amid rising tariff uncertainty and weakening analog chip demand. While Q2 revenue of $4.45 billion and EPS of $1.41 exceeded estimates, management warned that the strength may have been driven by customers pulling forward orders ahead of looming tariffs. The subdued Q3 profit guidance and geopolitical headwinds have reignited investor concerns: is TI merely digging in for cyclical softness, or is this a strategic inflection point in a broader semiconductor slowdown?

$Apple(AAPL)$ I added to my Apple (AAPL) position as the stock appears undervalued after an 18% drop in the first half, driven by concerns over slow AI adoption and tariff exposure. But the tide is turning. Apple is rolling out its Apple Intelligence strategy and benefits from ongoing trade negotiations that may ease pressure. With 2.2 billion active devices feeding high-margin services revenue and a loyal global user base, Apple offers long-term upside. At just 29x forward earnings, it's a compelling opportunity for growth with resilience.
$Broadcom(AVGO)$ I made an additional investment in AVGO as Broadcom’s growth story strengthens post-VMware acquisition. Its infrastructure software revenue rose 25% YoY in Q2 FY2025, with 87% of its top 10,000 customers now using the VCF platform. This high-margin, recurring revenue stream enhances its chip business and supports AI and private cloud demand. With $10 billion in EBITDA (67% margin), $6.4 billion in free cash flow, and $7 billion returned to shareholders, Broadcom’s capital efficiency and shareholder focus make it a compelling long-term investment.
