Nvidia: Stock Drops as Growth Slows and Global Tariff Tensions Grows
Given that some analysts estimate that half of all AI infrastructure capital expenditures end up in the purchase of its products and services, American/Taiwanese chipmaker Nvidia Inc ( $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ ) was expected to show pretty solid results for the second quarter (Q2) of its Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 that ended on July 31, 2025. While it did precisely that by delivering revenue: of $46.74 billion versus a LSEG-polled estimate of $46.06 billion and adjusted Earnings Per Share of $1.05 versus an estimate of $1.01, the stock's price went on to show weakness in after-markets trading. There are a number of factors behind this. Trend Drilldown Across its product categories, the corporate-demanded "Compute and Networking" segment far eclipses the ga

ASX’s Epic Climb to 10,000: Is CBA’s Valuation a Trap?
$ASX LTD(ASX.AU)$ The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) is charging toward a historic 10,000 milestone, with the ASX 200 hitting 9,087.2 on August 28, 2025, fueled by easing tariff fears, a recent Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) interest rate cut, Wall Street’s record highs, and robust earnings from local giants. The S&P 500 stands at 6,512.34, Nasdaq at 21,918.45, and oil at $74.50/barrel, while Bitcoin holds at $123,456 amid a VIX of 14.12.

Unlock Your Wealth: ROE or PE for Long-Term Investing Mastery?
$S&P 500(.SPX)$$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ On August 28, 2025, with the S&P 500 at 6,512.34, Nasdaq at 21,918.45, and Bitcoin steady at $123,456, the debate over long-term investing metrics heats up. Charlie Munger’s idea that long-term compounding mirrors return on equity (ROE) has gained traction, echoed by Warren Buffett’s 1981 insight that a 14% ROE could yield a 14% compound return if the price-to-earnings (PE) ratio holds steady. As investors eye a decade-long horizon, the question looms: Should ROE or PE guide your stock picks? Are return on invested capital (ROIC) and free cash flow (FCF) the real compounding kings? If forced to pick one metric for a 10-year decision, which wins? Dive into this anal

With the S&P 500 at 6,512.34, Nasdaq at 21,918.45, and Bitcoin at $123,456, the VIX at 14.12 signals stability, though tariffs (30% on EU/Mexico, 35% on Canada) and oil at $74.50/barrel stir uncertainty.

$Royal Caribbean Cruises(RCL)$ RCL: taking loss. Closed all my short positions on RCL at $363 and eat my humble pie. The reversal off recent bottom on 11th Aug at $297.84 was very strong and stock is back up 22% just in the past 2 weeks. Another one of the large positions that I've closed these few weeks in my attempt to rebalance my portfolio and cut off dead weights. Taking loss is a part of the trading game but taking large losses is not. For this case, I was over exposed with large trade that went sour. Bitter this might be, I'm owning my trade decision and share this out just like I've shared the other 1000+ trades since Trade Feed function was enabled. A lesson for myself to remember and what don't kill me makes me stronger 💪.

I. Performance and Valuation of Global Equity Indices Source: Bloomberg, Tiger Key Highlights ◼ Last week, global capital markets experienced mixed performance, with the phenomenon of “East rising, West wavering” becoming increasingly evident. Greater China equity assets surged across the board, with Chinese A-shares standing out as the strongest performers—the CSI 300 and Shanghai Composite Index gained 4.45% and 3.74% for the week, respectively. Meanwhile, U.S. equities saw heightened volatility and an internal rotation between large- and small-cap stocks: the large-cap Nasdaq edged down slightly, while the small-cap Russell Index posted significant gains. ◼ Recently, Fed Chair Jerome Powell struck a dovish tone at the annual Jackson Hole symposium, highlighting the severity of the curre
Market at a Crossroads: SoFi’s Retreat and the Overbought Dilemma
$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ For much of 2025, markets have been on an unstoppable run, with risk-on assets charging higher, volatility subdued, and retail traders showing renewed enthusiasm for growth names. Yet even in the strongest bull markets, certain stocks begin to look overextended, leaving investors asking: is this momentum sustainable, or is it a sign of greed overtaking discipline? One stock that perfectly captures this dynamic is SoFi Technologies (SOFI). After surging to $26 per share, SoFi has begun to pull back from those highs—a pattern the stock has repeated multiple times before. The retreat doesn’t necessarily spell the end of its bull case, but it does highlight the need to reassess how investors should handle stocks that sta
