15 years ago, Nvidia was powering games. Today, it's powering the AI revolution. The real edge? Not just what the company built, but when it aligned with the world's biggest trend. Same goes for Tesla with EV adoption and Palantir with data warfare. 🔍 So who's next? My radar is on: SoundHound (SOUN) – Voice AI leader, quietly partnering with automakers. Reminds me of early Nvidia: niche but essential. Symbotic (SYM) – Warehouse AI automation. Massive TAM, real revenue, and Walmart as a backer. Astera Labs – IPO soon. Makes connectivity chips vital to AI data centers. It's flying under the radar... for now. 🎯 Timing matters more than just holding forever. Spotting a company's iPhone moment — like Nvidia's AI pivot — gives asymmetric upside. You don't need to wait 15 years if you enter
Opendoor Rockets on CEO Shake-Up: Is $10 Just the Beginning?
$Opendoor Technologies Inc(OPEN)$ Opendoor ($OPEN) surged over 50% after announcing a major leadership shift—naming a new CEO and appointing veteran tech executive Keith Rabois as chairman. This move, widely seen as a vote of confidence from Silicon Valley, reignited investor interest in the real estate tech disruptor, pushing the stock to $9.17 and drawing attention to the next psychological resistance at $10. But is this rally sustainable—or is it a sell-the-news setup? Let's break it down. 🔑 What's driving the surge? 1. Leadership reset: Keith Rabois, a PayPal Mafia member and early Square exec, is known for scaling startups. His involvement hints at renewed growth ambitions and possibly fresh capital strategies. 2. Rate cut optimis
$BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc.(BMNR)$ $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ $Eightco Holdings Inc.(ORBS)$ 🔍 Key Macro Backdrop The Fed is under pressure: inflation has eased somewhat, but core inflation and wage growth remain sticky. Markets are pricing in some chance of a 25 bps cut by late Q4, but 50 bps is less likely unless data surprises to the downside. Lower interest rates could boost risk assets, especially those with exposure to crypto, fintech, or volume‑sensitive business models. But rate cuts also squeeze interest income for companies that rely heavily on yield from reserves or cash balances. Broader risk: regulatory tightening (cry
Saylor's Bold Bitcoin Signal: "Deserves Credit" – Is MicroStrategy About to Stack Even Higher?
In a move that's got the crypto world buzzing, Michael Saylor, the unyielding Bitcoin advocate and MicroStrategy chairman, just dropped a teaser that's pure gold for HODLers. With his latest post featuring the iconic Saylor Bitcoin Tracker and the punchy caption "Bitcoin Deserves Credit," it's clear the man isn't slowing down. This isn't just talk—it's a pattern. MicroStrategy has been on a relentless buying spree, turning the company into one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders on the planet. Last quarter alone, they scooped up thousands more BTC amid market dips, proving Saylor's philosophy: buy the fear, hold through the storm, and watch the value compound. Why does this matter right now? Bitcoin's ecosystem is exploding with institutional interest. From ETFs pulling in billions to

<Part 2 of 5> FedEx - a sneak peek into our future? Earnings Calendar (15Sep25)
Earnings Calendar (15Sep25) There are a few interesting earnings in the coming week that include FactSet, FedEx and Lennar. Let us look at FedEx, as Logistics is a good reference for the market. Looking at how busy a company like FedEx is can give you an early hint about where the economy is heading. If they report that their shipping volume is up, it's a good sign.

Stock Performance & Analyst Consensus FedEx's stock has experienced a decline, falling 18% over the past year. Technical analysis suggests a neutral rating for the stock.

Can COIN and MSTR Benefit As New Altcoins Fuel Bitcoin Eyeing Next Breakout Above $124k?
There have been a lot of buzz around Remittix (RTX) lately, and it has stirred up a question whether will it help drive Bitcoin’s next breakout—or will investors instead funnel capital into newer altcoins for higher upside. The truth is: both are possible, but a lot depends on market conditions, investor psychology, and whether projects like Remittix deliver on their promises. In this article, I will try to break them down and see how would COIN and MSTR trade around this trend. What we know about Remittix (RTX) Here are some of the things people are pointing to: The project has raised ~$24–25 million+ in a presale, with hundreds of millions of tokens sold. It is being marketed as a “PayFi” / cross-chain / crypto-to-fiat payments utility project. Features include a mobile wallet, real-time
🚀 Crypto IPO Fever: FIGR +30%, GEMI +14%! Bubble or Breakthrough? The crypto world just reminded Wall Street — and Main Street — that hype is still alive. Forget Bitcoin for a moment. The real fireworks are coming from crypto IPOs, where fresh listings like Figure ($Figure Technology Solutions(FIGR)$ ) and Gemini $Gemini Space Station, Inc.(GEMI)$ are attracting both institutional money and retail FOMO. FIGR surged +30% this week, cementing itself as one of the hottest listings of 2025. GEMI gained +14% on debut, proving there’s still strong demand, even as the broader market battles volatility. At a time when traditional IPOs often stumble, these crypto-linked names are defying gravity.

Option Play As Tesla Showing Signs Of Further Rally After BreakOut
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ gained 7.36% on last Friday (12 Sep 2025) and it is looking to make another breakout to a new high. In this article, I would like to discuss on how the technical / momentum-strength analysis of Tesla (TSLA) after its recent breakout, and what it suggests about whether a longer rally might be starting (or whether this could be a short-term move). There are encouraging signs, but also risks and key levels to watch. What the breakout was From recent reports: TSLA recently cleared a key buy point at about $367.71 and gained ~7.4% on that Friday, which is viewed by many analysts as a confirmatory breakout. Investors It also broke out of a consolidation / symmetrical triangle or ascending triangle pattern, with rising trendline supp
Tesla Surges on China Demand: Can AI & Robotics Drive the Next Trillion?
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Tesla ($TSLA) closed the week with a dramatic surge, jumping more than 5% on Friday. This rally, which came after the company confirmed that its Model Y L, a long-wheelbase, six-seat electric SUV designed specifically for the Chinese market, has already sold out for October 2025 deliveries, is reigniting investor optimism. New orders now show the earliest delivery slots extending into November 2025 — a sign of overwhelming demand in China, the world’s largest EV market. This breakout has stirred an important debate: is Tesla finally entering a new growth cycle after more than a year of underperformance and heavy skepticism from Wall Street? Or is this just another relief rally in an otherwise volatile stock? When we examine Te
Adobe’s Earnings Show Strength — But Why Is Wall Street Still Ignoring It?
$Adobe(ADBE)$ Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE) just posted quarterly earnings that beat expectations on both the top and bottom lines. Yet despite the strong report, the stock barely moved, closing up just 2.6%. For a company that has seen its market cap decline by 40% over the past year—falling from a lofty 55x earnings multiple to just 16x—this muted reaction raises questions. Is Wall Street underestimating Adobe’s resilience? Or is investor skepticism around artificial intelligence (AI) justified? In this deep dive, we’ll review Adobe’s latest results, assess its AI strategy, revisit its underappreciated moats, and evaluate whether the stock offers a rare opportunity for long-term investors. Earnings Overview: A Strong Quarter in the Face of Skepticism Ado
For this week, I’m leaning optimistic on the U.S. stock market. The combination of AI-driven momentum and expectations of a Fed rate cut continues to provide a strong backdrop, even though inflation data is still above target. Markets have shown resilience, and small caps leading with six straight weeks of gains is another sign of improving breadth. That said, my main watchpoint is Tesla $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$. After last week’s strong breakout, I expect volatility to pick up as traders test whether the move has legs or if profit-taking sets in. Tesla has become a sentiment driver—its next moves could influence tech momentum broadly. Overall, I see short-term di
Tit-for-Tat in Tech: China Probes U.S. Analog Chipmakers After New Sanctions What Happened? In a swift retaliatory move, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) has launched an anti-dumping investigation into specific analog semiconductor imports from the United States. This action follows the latest decision by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) to add another 32 Chinese entities to its export control list. According to the Jiangsu Semiconductor Industry Association, the probe directly targets several publicly traded U.S. giants, including $Texas Instruments(TXN)$ , $Analog Devices(ADI)$
As I look at the recent update from JPMorgan cutting Pop Mart's $POP MART(09992)$ target price from HK$400 to HK$300, I tend to agree with this adjustment. The share price has rallied significantly this year, driven by strong first-half results, the Uniqlo collaboration, index inclusion, and the opening of gold jewelry stores. It feels like the stock has already priced in these catalysts, and now might be a good time for it to take a breather and cool down the frenzy that's been building up. I believe maintaining investor excitement without near-term major catalysts could be challenging for Pop Mart. The momentum that carried the stock this far might wane if there's no clear, immediate driver to keep the
Last week’s highly anticipated inflation reports - the Producer Price index (PPI) and Consumer Price index (CPI), were finally released on Wednesday and Thursday respectively. Producer Price Index (PPI). US producer price index (PPI) for August 2025 showed a clear slowdown in wholesale inflation, with: Headline PPI declining by -0.1% MoM and rising +2.6% YoY; with both readings coming in below consensus forecasts of +0.3% and +3.3% respectively. (see above) Core PPI, (excludes food & energy), also dipped by -0.1% MoM and rose +2.8% YoY against expected +0.3% and +3.5% respectively. Moderation in PPI was driven in part by a decline in energy prices, that dropped -1.9% in August 2025. This along with reduced margins for services indicating that businesses have absorbed more costs instead
$POP MART(09992)$ I really like the way Pop Mart is shaping up right now. If you can grab this stock around the “aunty price” of 210–220, it looks like one of those rare chances where you just buy, tuck it away, and don’t worry for a few years. The numbers are already showing how solid the company is — revenue for the first half of 2025 jumped over 200%, and profit shot up even faster, almost four times higher than the year before. That’s not a small move; it shows people are buying into their brand big time. What makes Pop Mart different is that it’s not just selling toys — it’s building culture. Characters like Labubu, Molly, and Crybaby aren’t just products, they’re part of a global fan craze. People collect the

$Westlake Chemical(WLK)$$BASF SE(BASFY)$$Eastman Chemical(EMN)$ 15Sep25 NZT I’m treating $EMN (Eastman Chemical) as a textbook case of a cyclical specialty materials name that just completed a capitulation, attracted rare insider conviction, and now sits at the intersection of short-term volatility digestion and long-term fractal symmetry.
