$GOOGL CALENDAR 250926/251010 CALL 260.0/CALL 260.0$ GOOGL: take profit and close the expiring covered call then roll it to a new on that will expire in 2 weeks on 10th Oct. Collect $213 (0.8%) through this action with the same strike of $260. Price is dipping past 2 days and trades around $245 so that gives some upside buffer. The long calls suffered from the drop, but offset partially by the gains from the short calls during this dips period. Hope to stay nimble and trade the volatility accordingly.
Stock Markets at a Crossroads: Powell’s Caution Raises Questions for Year-End Gains
$S&P 500(.SPX)$ Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell recently sent shockwaves through the financial markets by stating that “by many measures, U.S. stock valuations are quite high.” The remarks immediately pressured the three major U.S. stock indexes, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Jones Industrial Average all turning lower. Powell’s statement was not merely an observation—it was a cautionary signal to investors who have continued to push equities to historically elevated levels despite macroeconomic uncertainties. The markets are now at a crossroads: should investors brace for a correction, or is a year-end rally still on the cards? Understanding the nuances behind Powell’s comment, historical market patterns, and current v
$Fortinet(FTNT)$ Following a sharp sell-off in recent days, Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT) has returned to the spotlight as investors assess whether the cybersecurity giant’s current valuation presents an opportunity or a warning sign. While the long-term growth story remains compelling, recent earnings trends indicate that the company may be entering a slower growth phase—one that demands a more disciplined view on price. Performance History and Growth Profile Fortinet’s public history dates back to 2010, with growth accelerating meaningfully only in recent years. While early performance was uneven, the company’s momentum shifted in 2018—helped in part by broader corporate tax cuts in the U.S.—and sustained into the early 2020s. Operating within the cyb
Hot and Leveraged: Why Crypto’s Perps Are Turning Up the Heat
Leverage is Back in Fashion When I look at the current state of the cryptocurrency market, one word keeps flashing like a neon sign in a casino: leverage. Perpetual futures, those uniquely crypto contracts with no expiry date, have become the hottest ticket in town. Funding rates — the interest-like mechanism that keeps these contracts tethered to spot prices — are surging across Bitcoin and Ethereum, signalling that traders are borrowing heavily to chase momentum. The effect is obvious in price swings. A sudden spike in funding rates has preceded sharp rallies, followed by equally swift liquidations that wipe out overextended longs. Elevated funding rates aren’t just danger signals, though; they also serve as a cash machine for those willing to take the other side. Professional desks able
U.S. stocks took a hit yesterday as Jerome Powell’s “quite high” valuation warning sent shivers down Wall Street, with the S&P 500 dipping to 6,611 and Nasdaq sliding 0.9%. But while broad indices wobble, selective surges are rewriting the playbook. Alibaba roared 8% higher, fueled by an AI spending spree and a juicy Nvidia partnership that’s turbocharging its cloud ambitions—think tenfold data center growth and a revenue kicker. Tesla jumped 4%, riding a wave of China registrations and Q3 delivery forecasts hitting 475,000 units, outpacing Wall Street’s wildest bets. Intel leapt 6% on whispers of an Apple investment lifeline, bolstering its foundry comeback with 18A node hype. Oracle, however, stumbled 2% as it eyes an $18 billion debt raise, spooking investors over leverage risks. Op
Market Mayhem Alert: Fed Fizzle Sparks Rotation Frenzy – Pharma, Infra, and EV Plays Primed to Explode?
Wall Street's post-rate-cut euphoria hit the brakes hard, with the S&P 500 dipping 0.3% and Nasdaq shedding 0.4% amid tech profit-taking that dragged Nvidia and Amazon into the red. Futures are idling flat pre-bell, but whispers of Micron's AI-fueled blowout earnings are injecting fresh adrenaline into semis, while Accenture's Q4 report looms as the day's earnings heavyweight. Overseas, India's Nifty eyes a shaky open with FII outflows pressuring IT heavyweights, yet pharma and infra pockets are buzzing from FDA nods and bulk deals. Rotation's the name of the game—small-caps outpacing the pack, energy names shrugging off crude dips, and undervalued gems like Opendoor and Soluna flashing breakout signals. This isn't consolidation; it's the setup for sector surges that could flip yesterd

MSOS – This risk-reward setup looks much better today compared to August
$AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF(MSOS)$ – This risk-reward setup looks much better today compared to August.I quoted my reply to a question back then about why I wasn’t chasing the $AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF(MSOS)$ and $Amplify Seymour Cannabis ETF(CNBS)$ move in late August. Looking back, it’s clear—you don’t chase after the rocket has already left the launch pad (the most optimal entry point), and specifically when it's extended. Now it looks more lucrative 1 month later. You need patience to wait, rather than chasing action every day.ImageFor whom haven't open CBA can know more from below:🏦 Open a CBA today and enjoy privileges of up to SGD 20,000

Watch Jefferies (JEF) Business Conditions Commentary To See If High Interest Rate Headwinds No Longer A Factor
$Jefferies Financial Group Inc.(JEF)$ is scheduled to release its fiscal Q3 2025 earnings after the market closes on Monday, September 29, 2025. Revenue : $$$1.89 billion (range: $$$1.75 - $$$1.92 billion) Earnings Per Share (EPS) : $$$0.79 per share (range: $$$0.72 - $$$0.86) The overall market expectation is for year-over-year growth in both earnings and revenue, reflecting a cautiously optimistic view on the financial sector's performance in the quarter, particularly in capital markets. Jefferies (JEF) Fiscal Q2 2025 Earnings Summary Jefferies Financial Group reported a mixed set of results for its fiscal second quarter of 2025 (period ended May 31, 2025), with total revenue slightly beating analyst expectations but net earnings missing consensu
Today my main focus is on Intel $Intel(INTC)$ after reports of a potential investment from $Apple(AAPL)$ . This could be a game changer, providing not just capital but also validation of Intel’s role in the semiconductor supply chain. Apple’s involvement may boost market confidence in Intel’s turnaround story. In the short term, I expect Intel stock to be volatile. A confirmed deal could drive the price higher, but markets often price in optimism quickly, so a pullback is also possible once excitement fades. For my approach, I’ll stay nimble and watch the stock closely. Today’s headlines will dominate sentiment, making Intel both a short-term trading play and a potential long-term turnaround candidate
Intel’s recent government and corporate backing is striking. The $8.9B U.S. stake and Nvidia’s $5B investment show rivals becoming backers, hinting at AI and foundry collaborations, and the market has reacted strongly. The sudden surge in stock price reflects both optimism and renewed investor confidence in Intel’s potential. I remain cautious. Intel has missed key opportunities for 20 years, and turning around its loss-making foundry won’t be easy. Talks with Apple or cloud giants are promising, but execution is the real test. The company needs to prove it can deliver competitive products and regain credibility in cutting-edge markets. There’s also a political angle. Meta’s investment may signal alignment with U.S. strategy more than pure returns. Intel’s comeback depends as much on poli
The first time I bought a stock, quite a long time ago, I thought I was being smart by watching the price every second. I sat there with the app open, tracking every tiny movement. When it dropped a little, I told myself, No need to rush. It’ll fall further. So I lowered my limit price. A few minutes later, the stock dipped again. I lowered it once more. Each time I adjusted, I felt clever, like I was squeezing out a better deal. But by the end of the day, the stock bounced higher than where I’d first planned to buy. My order never filled. I ended up with nothing but frustration. That experience taught me something: staring at the market too long can turn discipline into hesitation, and hesitation into missed opportunities. Now, when I buy stocks or ETFs, I set a limit price, place the ord

$Warner Bros. Discovery(WBD)$$Walt Disney(DIS)$$Paramount Skydance Corp(PSKY)$ 🎬📡 $WBD Breakout Targeting $21 Resistance 📡🎬 I'm seeing Warner Bros.

Support is firm at $18.60 and $17.90, while resistance zones remain at $20.20 and $21. A clean breakout through $21 would mark a decisive inflection. 📊 Technical Setup and Breakout Levels History shows that prior breakouts from these consolidation bands have delivered 20–30% measured moves, and the current probability-weighted path suggests a base case of $21.50 in the near term, with extended ups
