Intel’s “revenge comeback” looks credible after landing multi-billion deals with Nvidia and reportedly opening talks with Apple. Its market cap remains modest versus peers, suggesting upside if it executes, though proving it can deliver leading-edge chips at scale is critical. Other likely allies include Microsoft, Amazon, and Google—firms keen to diversify away from TSMC and gain U.S. political cover. Defense contractors may also join given Washington’s push for domestic semiconductor resilience. A Meta investment could be more political than financial: signaling support for reshoring, earning regulatory goodwill, and mirroring Trump-style “credit claiming.”
💡 Rules for Investors Under $100K: How to Build Wealth Without Playing Wall Street’s Game 🚀 Introduction – Why the First $100K Feels Impossible Charlie Munger once said: “The first $100,000 is a b***, but you’ve got to do it.”* Most investors know this pain. With less than $100,000 in the market, every loss feels heavy, every win feels fleeting, and competing with Wall Street’s billion-dollar funds seems hopeless. But here’s the truth: you don’t need size to succeed. What you need are rules, discipline, and patience. With the right playbook, small investors can grow wealth steadily, without chasing hype or gambling. Here are 7 rules that every investor under $100K should master. --- 1️⃣ Control What You Can – Costs & Fees When your portfolio is small, every dollar counts. A 1% fee on $
Powell’s remark highlights a growing concern—valuations are stretched, especially with the S&P 500 trading well above historical averages. Elevated multiples leave less margin for error, making the market more sensitive to macro shocks or earnings disappointments. A correction, even if brief, would not be surprising as investors reassess risk premiums. That said, seasonality still matters. Historically, U.S. equities often climb into year-end, supported by window-dressing, holiday spending, and year-end liquidity flows. Unless economic data sharply weakens or policy guidance turns more hawkish, the recent pullback may remain shallow rather than a full reversal. In short: Powell’s warning could spark choppiness, but without a major catalyst, it may play out as consolidation rather than
$Intel(INTC)$ ⚡ Intel’s Revenge Comeback? Can the Sleeping Giant Rise Again in 2025? 🚀 Introduction – From Fallen Titan to Underdog Story Not long ago, Intel was the king of chips. Its dominance in PCs and data centers felt unshakable. But over the past decade, the crown slipped: Apple ($Apple(AAPL)$ ) ditched Intel for its own M-series chips. AMD ($Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ ) ate into Intel’s CPU market with superior designs. Nvidia ($NVIDIA(NVDA)$ ) captured the AI crown, becoming Wall Street’s darling. Intel, once the leader, became the laggard.
Both rules have merit, but if I had to choose, I lean toward holding long-term. Time in the market generally beats timing the market, especially for retail investors with limited capital. Compounding, dividends, and the steady growth of quality businesses reward patience far more reliably than short-term trades. “Buying low, selling high” sounds ideal, but in practice it demands precision, speed, and constant monitoring—areas where Wall Street’s algorithms have the edge. Retail investors often get whipsawed trying to time entries and exits. If I could hold only one U.S. stock long-term, it would be Apple (AAPL). It combines strong brand loyalty, recurring revenues from its ecosystem, disciplined capital returns, and continuous innovation in both hardware and services. Apple isn’t the fast
📊 Stocks to Watch Today (26 Sep): Key Movers & Market Signals 🚀 Introduction – A Cautious Market Mood Markets opened today under pressure, with all three major U.S. indexes trading lower: Dow Jones (.DJI): 45,947 (▼0.38%) Nasdaq (.IXIC): 22,384 (▼0.50%) S&P 500 (.SPX): 6,604 (▼0.50%) The pullback reflects a mix of macro caution and stock-specific catalysts. With Powell’s recent comments on valuations still weighing on sentiment and bond yields holding firm, investors are asking: Where are the opportunities hiding today? Here are the top themes and stocks to watch on Sept 26. --- 1️⃣ Macro Spotlight – Fed & Yields in Focus Powell’s Warning on Valuations: His remark that U.S. stocks are “quite high by many measures” continues to reverberate.

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ 🚀📊🔥 $TSLA Sideways Coil Meets Gamma Expiry Volatility Reset 🔥📊🚀 I’m watching Tesla compress sideways while momentum resets. The MACD has bled down aggressively, but price is still holding the 418–423 consolidation band, right where Ichimoku cloud and Keltner mid-band overlap. This is the battleground zone that decides the next leg. 📈 Base Case (60% probability: Bullish re-acceleration) If 418 holds, the MACD reset completes and upside momentum returns. Targets: 445 first, then 453–460. Tesla’s history shows these sideways resets after strong runs often resolve higher. 📉 Bear Case (30% probability: Deeper reset) A break below 418 drags price toward 400–405. That extends consolidation into October before bulls can regain momentu

Honored to be invited as a guest for the Centurion Accommodation REIT (CAREIT) IPO ceremony at the SGX IPO Arena today. CAREIT marks a milestone as Singapore’s first pure-play purpose-built living accommodation REIT, debuting strongly with an opening price of S$0.98—11.4% above its IPO price of S$0.88.

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-25/david-einhorn-sees-tremendous-capital-losses-from-ai-spending “David Einhorn cautioned that the unprecedented amount of spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure may destroy vast amounts of capital,” Basically this is nonsensical, the infrastructure will always exists and not a one-time use like consumer products. His perspective is too dreamy or groundless. This is never about creating a consumer product that maybe nobody is going to buy, compute power will always earn its own investments back overtime and that demand never decline historically. “destroy vast amounts of capital” this clearly shows that he lacks understanding of h
Why Diversifiers To Manage U.S. Stocks Valuation Concerns and Macro Risks.
When U.S. equities are expensive, investors often look for diversifiers to manage valuation and macro risks. In this article, I would like to share how we are breaking them down into three parts: U.S. stock valuations, Precious metals, Cryptocurrencies With this approach, we will pull them together in portfolio terms. U.S. Stock Valuations Current backdrop: U.S. equities (S&P 500, Nasdaq) trade at forward P/E ~20–22x, above long-term averages (~15–16x). This leaves limited margin of safety. Macro risks: Rate cuts may support valuations, but sticky inflation, slowing earnings growth, or geopolitical shocks could expose downside. Implication: Overvaluation suggests future returns (next 5–7 years) may be below average. S&P 500 Forward P/E ratio as of 25 Sep 2025 is at 23.45, in late A
Momentum Watch: TSLA at Resistance, Supports Mapped
Tesla ( $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ ) – Some news and key levels Q3 deliveries chatter: Several outlets flagged improving Q3 delivery expectations (helped by China registrations), though some caution on Q4. Investors+2GuruFocus+2 Insider buying: Shares got a lift last week after Elon Musk bought ~$1B of TSLA stock, signaling confidence. Trend: Strong rebound; testing the prior pivot band US$420–440. Momentum constructive but near a historically heavy zone. Key levels (from your chart): Support 1: US$410 Support 2: US$380 What to watch: Follow-through above ~US$440 on rising volume for continuation; loss of momentum likely brings a retest of the noted supports. Note whether $380 support can hold. Using DLCs for short term trading Long DLCs (e.g.

🚨🚨A summary of the global market analysis for today, September 26, 2025, highlights mixed sentiment driven by central bank policy, economic data, and geopolitical trade tensions. Global Market Summary 1. US Markets (As of September 25 Close/September 26 Futures): * Positive Weekly Trend: Despite a modest midweek pullback, major US indices (NASDAQ, S&P 500, Dow) finished the prior week strongly, with the NASDAQ up over 2% and the S&P 500 and Dow up over 1%. * Federal Reserve: The Fed delivered a quarter-point interest rate cut—the first since late 2024. However, stronger-than-expected US economic data has caused traders to pare back expectations for aggressive future rate cuts, with bets shifting from four to six cuts by the end of 2026 to potentially four at most.
🌟🌟🌟"Buy high, sell low" - this is the unofficial motto of every rookie investor who thought that he is the next Buffett after one green candle. Mine? Holding on to Top Glove like it was a family heirloom. I watched it bleed, rationalised every dip and whispered sweet nothings like it will recover while it quietly packed its bags and moved to the basement of my portfolio. At some point it wasn't a stock anymore. It was a character building exercise . But here's the thing: It wasn't a failure. It was tuition. The markets charged me a fee and in return I got wisdom. Now I know - Cut the losers, ride the winners and never confuse hope with strategy. Top Glove did not just cost me money. It taught me a valuable lesson. So yes I have b
I won’t bank on intel’s revenge comeback. It still depends to be seen whether it can fulfil its end of the deal with these various tie-ups. I see these as intel’s partners wanting to rely less on their current partners and hence being held hostage if their current partners ditch them rather than intel being recognised for its own strengths. It is the second best alternative and not a true rival. Rivals partner with it because cooperation is better than cut throat competition. I think any of its current rivals like ARM and Qualcomm might partner with it to reduce the pain of rivalry and to collectively capture more market share. As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy can be your friend because both have the same enemy. They could partner to push out one company first. I see meta’s
