From Collapse to Comeback? Opendoor’s Wild Ride Back to the Spotlight
$Opendoor Technologies Inc(OPEN)$ Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) is back in the spotlight after one of the most dramatic rallies in the real estate sector. Shares have surged more than 200% this month, including a sharp 14% gain during Monday’s session, as investors bet on a combination of Federal Reserve rate cuts, artificial intelligence adoption, and renewed retail enthusiasm. The move has drawn both excitement and skepticism. To bulls, Opendoor represents a rebirth of a once-beaten-down disruptor that could thrive in a new era of lower rates and smarter data-driven housing transactions. To bears, the rally is nothing more than another meme-stock-like surge detached from fundamentals. With price targets from Wall Street analysts still lag
The trade that impressed me most this week was $Broadcom(AVGO)$ after earnings. Q3 revenue rose 22% to nearly $16B, with AI chip sales at $5.2B, slightly above estimates. Q4 guidance of $17.4B also topped consensus, showing strong execution despite semiconductor volatility. CEO Hock Tan added fuel by saying fiscal 2026 AI revenue will be “significantly” higher than expected, thanks to a new customer with major orders. That’s big news in a space long dominated by Nvidia $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ , and the stock popped nearly 6% after-hours. I’m bullish here — Broadcom’s mix of networking gear, custom AI chips, and software makes it a balanced AI play. With Tan staying as CEO until at least 2030, the leadersh
September 5 Stock Frenzy: Must-Watch Picks Amid Earnings and Rate Cut Buzz!
The market is electrified on September 5, 2025, with the S&P 500 at 6,512.34, Nasdaq at 21,918.45, and Bitcoin at $123,456, driven by earnings season and 100% odds for a September rate cut. The VIX at 14.12 signals stability, but oil at $74.50/barrel and tariff threats add edge. Key drivers include Broadcom's earnings spotlighting ASIC growth, Nvidia's robot brain launch, and Musk's AI lawsuit against Apple/OpenAI. With 81% of S&P 500 firms beating estimates, today's session could spark a rally or correction. What movements are shaping the market, which stocks demand attention, and what trading plays can you seize? This comprehensive guide breaks down the catalysts, top picks, and a plan to capitalize on the action. Market Movements: What’s Worth Noting Today? Several developments
Markets opened September on a positive note, with Dow +0.77%, Nasdaq +0.98%, and S&P 500 +0.83%. Optimism from Powell's dovish Jackson Hole remarks still lingers, but headlines around Trump's Fed stance and global data risks keep volatility elevated. Macro focus today: US Jobless Claims – Will labor markets show signs of cooling? A softer print reinforces rate-cut bets. ISM Services Index – Key gauge of economic resilience; weak data may stoke growth concerns but support liquidity hopes. Indices to watch: S&P 500 (SPX 6,502) → Support at 6,450; holding above this keeps the door open for a push to 6,600. Nasdaq (21,707) → Critical level is 21,800; a breakout could propel tech-heavy names toward 22,200. Stock-specific setups: Nvidia (NVDA) consolidates near $174; the $170 dip remains
Broadcom’s All-Time High Surge: Lock Profits or Ride the Wave?
$Broadcom(AVGO)$$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Broadcom’s latest earnings obliterated forecasts, with revenue soaring to $15.8 billion (up 20% YoY) and AI revenue hitting $4.6 billion (46% growth), propelling shares to a new all-time high of $302 after a 6% after-hours spike on September 5, 2025. Yet, historical patterns raise red flags: over the past five earnings, post-spike rallies led to two-month declines, while post-drop days sparked two-month rallies. With institutions potentially unloading shares and Nvidia’s earnings outlook unchanged, the $302 peak invites scrutiny. As the S&P 500 sits at 6,520, Nasdaq at 21,918.45, and Bitcoin at $123,456, the VIX at 14.12 signals calm amid $74.50 oil and 30-35% tariff th
Opendoor's 200% Rocket Ride: Meme Magic or Rate Cut Mirage?
Opendoor ( $Opendoor Technologies Inc(OPEN)$ ) exploded 14% in Monday's session, capping a 200% monthly rally fueled by its AI-driven iBuying platform and Fed rate cut hopes, but analyst targets averaging $2.50 (downside from $4.5) suggest a potential trap. The real estate disruptor, with $3.5 billion Q2 revenue (up 23% YoY) and AI tools slashing costs by 15%, has investors debating its meme stock status. With the S&P 500 at 6,512.34, Nasdaq at 21,918.45, and Bitcoin at $123,456, the VIX at 14.12 reflects calm amid tariffs (30% on EU/Mexico, 35% on Canada) and oil at $74.50/barrel. Is this meme stock your play? Will it benefit most from rate cuts? How do you view AI's impact? Can it hit $10? This deep dive explores the rally, risks, market rea
Options Fun Fact: What Happens to Out-of-the-Money Options? | #OptionsHandbook EP044
Normally, if an option is out of the money (OTM), exercising it would only lead to a loss. So why on earth would anyone still do it? 🤯 📕Let’s peek into The Options Handbook for this surprising little nugget of knowledge…(Join the events at the end to win rewards!)🎁 ▶ The Usual Case: OTM Options Expire Worthless 💲 If your option expires out of the money. For instance, a call with a strike above the stock price or a put with a strike below it, it usually isn't worth exercising. In most instances, these options expire worthless and are removed from your account the following day. ▶ But Why Exercise An OTM Option On Purpose? 😦 1. Strategic Reasons In rare situations, investors may still choose to exer
This week’s market felt less like trading and more like surviving an amusement park ride with faulty seatbelts. Personally, I was most impressed by the traders who had the nerve to catch falling knives in semiconductors after the TSMC news — and somehow walked away with fingers intact. The most heartbreaking? Those who thought gold’s run would pause for breath, only to watch it sprint a marathon instead. Lesson learned: the market doesn’t care about your stop-loss level; it just sees it as a convenient snack. Battle lesson of the week: in volatile markets, humility is the best hedge. That, and maybe a stress ball.
1. How would I trade Broadcom? Broadcom’s earnings were stellar, but history has a habit of playing tricks on euphoric buyers. With the pattern you noted — post-earnings spikes tending to fade — I’d be cautious about chasing the after-hours high. A prudent approach would be to trim into strength and keep powder dry for a better entry if the familiar two-month fade repeats. In other words: respect the chart’s “musical chairs” rhythm. 2. Will Nvidia’s stock be affected tonight? Nvidia’s story is more macro than micro at this point — AI demand, export restrictions, Fed outlook. Broadcom’s numbers are unlikely to make or break Nvidia, though short-term sentiment could see a modest halo effect. Institutions, however, may use Broadcom’s rally as cover to quietly rebalance their semis exposure, w
$Figma(FIG)$ 1. Is it a buy if it dips under $50? Sub-$50 would start looking interesting for traders with a medium-term horizon. The revenue beat and improved profitability show the business has momentum. That said, valuation still matters — Figma trades on growth multiple expectations rather than fat earnings, so $50 would be more of a “speculative nibble” than a deep-value entry. 2. How do I view the lock-up extension? Extending 35% of shares is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it signals confidence from key holders — they’re not rushing for the exit. On the other, it leaves investors wondering what happens when those shares do eventually come off restriction. Think of it as putting a “snooze button” on supply pressure. 3. Still not the botto
The first “teacher” who comes to mind for me is the market itself — strict, unpredictable, but always teaching. My favourite “stock teacher” would be Howard Marks. His memos are timeless lessons in risk, cycles, and humility. I’d recommend him to anyone who wants to learn how to think, not just what to buy. A note of thanks: to every mentor (human or book) who reminded me that patience often pays better than speed, and that protecting capital is the real test of skill. The market may hand out harsh grades, but thanks to good teachers, at least we’re better prepared for the exam.
Market Rebound Madness: Fed Rate Cuts Set to Ignite Fireworks!
Tech stocks have staged a stunning rebound, propelling the Nasdaq and S&P 500 higher as Fed Governor Waller reiterated calls for a September rate cut, hinting at multiple reductions over the next 3-6 months. Wall Street heavyweights like Morgan Stanley forecast a 25 bps cut this month, followed by similar moves every other meeting through 2026, potentially exceeding market expectations. With the S&P 500 at 6,448.26, Nasdaq at 21,648.23, and Bitcoin at $123,456, the VIX at 14.12 reflects calm amid tariffs (30-35% on Canada/EU/Mexico) and oil at $74.50/barrel. Has the pullback ended, or is this a head fake? Is the rebound a prime time for covered calls? Will Fed cuts surpass forecasts? This deep dive unpacks the rebound, Fed signals, and strategies to capitalize or hedge. Rebound Unp
🚀 Broadcom at All-Time Highs: Trim, Hold, or Ride to $1,800?
Broadcom ($AVGO) smashed expectations, lifting shares +6% to fresh all-time highs. The rally highlights the company's positioning in AI networking and cloud infrastructure — secular growth themes that remain intact. But traders should recall a key pattern: across the last five earnings cycles, $AVGO has often faded after sharp earnings-day spikes, slipping for 1–2 months before resuming its climb. Conversely, when shares dropped on earnings day, they actually rebounded in the following months. So, what's the strategy? For short-term players, trimming into strength makes sense. Institutions may seize the ATH to lighten positions, and the stock could retrace toward $1,620 support or even $1,600 risk zone. For medium-term holders, however, the AI-driven runway remains strong — holding through
American Bitcoin Corp ( $American Bitcoin(ABTC)$ ) plunged below its IPO price just one day after Nasdaq debut, dropping 15% to $6.83 from $8.04, erasing $1.2 billion in market value amid mining sector pressures. The company, holding $269 million in Bitcoin and pursuing a hybrid mining-holding strategy, plans a $2.1 billion equity raise for expansion, but rising energy costs and competition raise doubts. Similarly, TRUMP coin dipped to $8.3, down 0.84% in 24 hours, with $1.66 billion market cap. With the S&P 500 at 6,512.34, Nasdaq at 21,918.45, and Bitcoin at $123,456, the VIX at 14.12 reflects calm amid tariffs (30% on EU/Mexico, 35% on Canada) and oil at $74.50/barrel. Will you trade Trump concept? Are there chances after dips? How do you v
