WFC Upgrades S&P 500 PT: New Highs Coming After Rate Cut?
Wells Fargo recently upgraded its year-end forecast for the S&P 500, now expecting the benchmark index to finish the year between 6,600 and 6,800 points, up from its previous projection of 6,300 to 6,500. Based on the midpoint of these ranges, that implies a potential gain of over 4% from current levels—a notable bullish signal. Personally, I think Wells Fargo’s forecast is certainly possible. After all, the S&P 500 isn’t far from these levels today. But rather than feel reassured, this actually makes me more cautious. Historically, when the market is bullish and momentum is high, that’s precisely when I try to step back and evaluate my risk. As Warren Buffett famously said, “Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” Right now, I think it’s time to embr

Option Play For Capturing Tesla Rally But Protect Sudden Pullback
I am contemplating whether it is a good time to play options on $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ as I do not mind owning Tesla stocks again after selling previously. So in the article, I would like to share how I am working out the breakdown of whether right now might be a good time to play options on Tesla (TSLA), what the risks are, and some option-strategies we might consider. Current situation & outlook Some key facts & headwinds to keep in mind: Tesla recently got upgraded by some analysts, especially around its AI / robotics / autonomy ambitions. Elon Musk made a ~$1B open-market buy of Tesla shares, which tends to bolster investor confidence. On the flip side, automotive revenue and deliveries have been under pressure: selling prices are down,
Ripple vs PayPal: My Take on Which Digital Dollar Holds the Trust Factor
Stablecoins used to be an odd corner of crypto. Now they’re fast becoming the bridge between traditional finance and the blockchain economy. With Ripple’s RLUSD and PayPal’s PYUSD both fighting for investor trust, I wanted to take a closer look at which digital dollar feels safer — and more investable — in today’s regulatory climate. The battle is as much about credibility and adoption as it is about financial mechanics. Two visions of trust, converging into one digital future Ripple’s Institutional Edge with RLUSD Ripple has been unapologetic about where RLUSD fits into its strategy: this is a coin designed for institutions, not retail hype. At $729.8 million in market cap and around 730 million tokens in circulation, RLUSD is still the smaller player compared to PYUSD’s $1.21–$1.39 billi
NEWS: Tesla has just made a HUGE update to its U.S. website. Tesla now says you only need to "order by September 30" to take advantage of Federal EV credit. This means the vehicle doesn’t have to be delivered by September 30 — as long as you place the order by that date, you can take delivery weeks or even months later and still take advantage of the credit! So while the Federal EV credit still ends on Sept 30, this new flexibility in eligibility and being able to take delivery later will help Tesla's Q4 vehicle delivery numbers, and enable a lot more people to use the $7,500 federal EV credit. This change comes after the IRS updated its language for the EV credit on its website, and applies to all eligible EV makers/vehicles.
$Intel(INTC)$ Below is a detailed look at Intel’s situation after the Intel-NVIDIA deal, and my view on the questions you posed: whether $30 is still a buy, how the NVIDIA investment might affect Intel long term, whether $40 is a realistic target, and how much upside remains given the ~$116B market cap. Of course, nothing here is financial advice, just analysis you can use. --- What we know & context From recent reporting: NVIDIA is investing US$5B in Intel common stock, at US$23.28/share, giving NVIDIA about a 4% stake in Intel. Under their partnership, Intel will build custom x86 CPUs for NVIDIA’s data centre AI infrastructure; and also “x86 SoCs integrated with NVIDIA RTX GPUs” for PCs. The deal is seen as helping Intel wi
I’m focused on SOFI $SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ this week. 🚀 The stock broke its all-time high last Friday, and that kind of breakout usually signals strong momentum. With no resistance above, it looks like an open runway for buyers to keep pushing higher. For me, that’s a clear sign to ride the trend, not fight it. The setup is even stronger with the market backdrop. The Fed’s rate cut and overall equity rally give growth and fintech names like SOFI a tailwind. Lower borrowing costs can boost lending and margins, fueling even more optimism. The timing lines up well as small caps and tech are already leading. My move is straightforward: I’m long SOFI with conviction. I’ll watch volume for confirmation, but if momentum holds, the upside could
