Nvidia's latest earnings shows that its revenue is highly concentrated among a few customers. Just two clients accounted for 39 percent of Nvidia's total revenue in the July quarter. I view this concentration as a manageable aspect of Nvidia's business model, given the strength of its partnerships with major players. The market noise around this disclosure does not shake my confidence in the company's long-term potential. This disclosure has once again sparked market debate over whether Nvidia is overly reliant on a handful of major clients, particularly cloud computing giants such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Oracle. I believe this reliance is a strength rather than a weakness, as these are industry leaders driving demand for Nvidia's technology. The pullback I see as healthy and nor

“Alibaba’s Big AI Bet: Nvidia Rival or Just a Flash?” Alibaba just dropped a surprise that shook the market: a brand-new AI chip designed in-house, instantly sparking comparisons with Nvidia and lifting its stock +10% in a single session 🚀. For investors, this raises the big question: is Alibaba’s new silicon a true growth driver, or just a narrative shift to distract from food delivery wars and heavy spending on cloud infrastructure? --- 📊 Why the AI Chip Matters In the global race to dominate AI hardware, Alibaba’s move is bold. Nvidia still controls the cutting edge, but China’s demand for domestic AI solutions is rising under both geopolitical and regulatory pressures. A self-developed chip means Alibaba can: Reduce reliance on U.S. suppliers. Bolster its cloud division, already the ba
Unlock Crypto Stock Secrets: Key Watchpoints for Smart Investing
As the crypto bull market rages on during Trump’s term, with Bitcoin up 85% YTD to $115,000, the hype around crypto stocks has cooled, leading to divergent performance. Stocks like MicroStrategy ( $Strategy(MSTR)$ ) surged 150% YTD on Bitcoin holdings, while Coinbase ( $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ ) gained 100% on exchange fees, but mining stocks like Marathon Digital ( $MARA Holdings(MARA)$ ) and Riot Platforms ( $Riot Platforms(RIOT)$ ) lagged with 80% and 65% gains amid energy costs. The upcoming BMNR lock-up expiration on September 2, 2025, releasing 45 million shares, could trigger a 10-15% drop, per recent SEC fil
Alibaba on Course to Join Nvidia, Tesla in Most Active Options as Shares Jump 14% $Alibaba(BABA)$ options volume soared Friday, setting it on course to join $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ in the most active options after the Chinese e-commerce giant saw the revenue from its cloud intelligence business grow faster than expected. The company's Cloud Intelligence Group reported revenue rising 26% to 33.39 billion yuan ($4.66 billion) in the three months ended June 30. That exceeded analysts' expectations that averaged 31.85 billio
Alibaba Earnings Review | Cloud and International Business Soars as China E-Commerce Loses Ground $Alibaba(BABA)$ announced its Q1 2026 earnings on August 29th.

Tech Stocks Tumble, Chips and AI Lead the Slide What a wild ride on Wall Street this Friday! The major indices—Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq—all took a hit, with chipmakers and AI stocks dragging the tech sector down. After the S&P 500 hit an all-time high yesterday, it seems investors decided to cash in some chips (pun intended) ahead of the long Labor Day weekend. With markets closed on Monday, we’re looking at a short four-day trading week ahead. Inflation Holds Steady, but Trade Deficit Stings The early kicked off with the July PCE inflation data, which came in line with expectations. A slight uptick in inflation was driven by rising service costs, portfolio management fees (thanks to the market’s hot streak), and even pricier sports and entertainment events. But here’s t
Hi. I bought and hold Sembcorp in Apr 2025 (avg abt $6.3). It was doing so well and moving towards $7.8 before the 1H2025 results. The share price gained was about 24%. I even bought more shares in late Jul thinking that Sembcorp should be doing very well in consideration of its oversea businesses, e.g. renewable in India, solar plant in Oman, etc. To my dismay, Sembcorp plunged so badly after the released of the 1H2025 results. It is only $6.07 as of 29Aug25. Market expectation of Sembcorp is really lofty even though it's net profit is abt $536mil and 9c interim dividend! Big lesson learnt from this bad experience is to set reasonable target to secure partial profits such as >20% gain even though there is intent to hold long term. Nevertheless Sembcorp is strong large co support by Tem

Indonesia and Wilmar: A Case Study in Resource Governance and Global Capital
The Indonesian government and Wilmar International are engaged in a lawsuit. Is this a case of the government exploiting foreign enterprises, or is it due to Wilmar International's non-standard operations? - The Indonesian government is not simply "exploiting foreign capital." Instead, it is exercising national sovereignty, responding to environmental and social pressures, and taking stronger regulatory measures against large enterprises, including Wilmar International, in the process of regulating the economy. - Wilmar International is also not "completely innocent." As a multinational giant, it may have compliance flaws, structural complexities, tax avoidance, or lobbying activities when facing complex policy environments, making it an easy target for regulation. - Essentially, this is a
Stock Swap: August Ends on a High Note, Rate-Cut Watch Ahead
Friday’s selloff capped the week on a soft note, but not enough to spoil a solid August for stocks. Wall Street bounced right back from an early August tumble. Dow Jones Industrial Average: -0.20% to 45,544.88 (+3.2% for August) $S&P 500(.SPX)$ : -0.64% to 6,460.26 (+1.9% for August) $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ -1.15% to 21,455.55 (+1.6% for August) Year-to-date, the Nasdaq is up 11%, the S&P 500 9.8%, and the Dow 7.1%. Strong earnings and growing optimism around Federal Reserve rate cuts have outweighed lingering trade and geopolitical concerns. Market Moves: Sector Shifts Friday’s pullback was led by technology (-1.5%) and industrials (-0.9%), perhaps a sign of traders hedging ahead of key economic data. H
JD Property Eyes $1B REIT in Singapore — A New Way to Play E-Commerce? 🏢📦 JD Property, the real estate and logistics arm of Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com $JD.com(JD)$ , is reportedly preparing a $1B REIT listing on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) in 2025. Backed by logistics parks and smart warehouses across China, this move isn’t just about raising capital — it could reshape how retail investors gain exposure to the fast-changing world of online retail and supply chains. The plan comes as e-commerce in Asia faces both explosive growth opportunities and intensifying competition. With JD.com locked in battles with Shopee, Lazada, and Temu, the real question is whether logistics infrastructure — rather than online storefronts — might be the
I think we can expect to flash sale in Singapore. New players typically do that as a form of advertising and to quickly wrestle some form of market share. As a consumer, I am definitely looking forward to that. I definitely use more shopee as there are more vouchers to use and there seem to be more sellers on the platform to suit my needs. At times, I may use Lazada for big ticket items if they are cheaper but seems like shopee has caught up with that too and I use lesser of Lazada. Lazada is definitely less user friendly compared to shopee when it comes to browsing for items to buy. Personally, shopee works very well for me and delivery is generally fast unless it is being shipped from overseas. As a consumer, I go with whichever that has the item that I want at the cheapest price a
I prefer infrastructure exposure — mainly stablecoins and exchanges. Stablecoins have limited upside but offer steadier returns, while exchanges like $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ & $Robinhood(HOOD)$ provide more sustainable plays as institutions drive trading. This gives me crypto exposure without too much risk. Miners and treasuries are high-risk side bets. Miners might gain from lower energy costs but remain tied to Bitcoin’s swings. Treasuries like $MicroStrategy(MSTR)$ carry big upside but act like leveraged crypto, so I’d only take small positions. Between Coinbase
🌟🌟🌟Stablecoins & Crypto Exchanges are the foundation stones of the entire crypto ecosystem. Without them, the market will be a chaotic maze of volatility and friction. Stablecoins such as USDT & USDC are designed to maintain a steady value, typically pegged to fiat currencies like the US Dollar. Stablecoins enable fast, borderless payments without the wild swings of Bitcoin and Ethereum. In 2024, stablecoins processed USD 27.6 trillion in transactions, more than Visa & Mastercard combined. Crypto Exchanges like Coinbase, Binance are the gateways to Cryptocurrencies. Coinbase is the largest US crypto exchange. It facilitates price discovery and market access. Coinbase also provides custody & security for assets and act as liquidity hubs too. Wi
