To The Moon

The first time I opened a brokerage account, I remember staring at the options: cash or margin. Some people might have been tempted by margin, imagining extra buying power, the chance to amplify gains. For me, the choice was clear from the start: cash. No borrowed money, no debt—just the money I actually had. Using cash keeps everything straightforward. When I buy a stock, I know exactly how much I’m putting in and what I could realistically lose. There’s no interest, no margin calls, no hidden pressure from owing money I don’t have. The worst-case scenario is always clear: I can only lose what I invested, not more. That certainty allows me to focus on the companies I like, the ones I believe in, without any external stress or urgency forcing my decisions. I still remember watching my port

Gold recently reached $3,900 per ounce on COMEX, setting a new all-time high. The metal has climbed for several days, driven largely by concerns over a potential U.S. government shutdown. Analysts have discussed a $4,000 target, and UBS even suggested that gold could rise to $4,200 per ounce by mid-2026, citing its role as a safe-haven asset amid economic and geopolitical uncertainty. A potential government shutdown introduces further short-term risk, as it can delay fiscal decisions, create uncertainty about government operations, and raise concerns among investors. In such an environment, gold’s traditional appeal as a store of value becomes more pronounced because in uncertain times, it provides a measure of stability and security. Despite the rally, I chose not to buy. The move felt dr

September recently ended, and looking at my Tiger Brokers app, my P&L shows a modest 0.27% gain. Not huge, but I’m grateful. I didn’t hold any of the big movers—TSLA, AAPL, NVDA, BABA. Still, even a small positive month feels like a win in a market that continues to climb steadily. As the broader market hit new highs, many expected a pullback in October. Historically, October has been red in 10 of the last 15 years, earning its reputation as a weak month. Yet, last year after a strong first-half rally, October barely pulled back—SPX down only 0.99%. This year, the SPX is up 13.25% YTD, which is still behind last year’s 20% by September. The rally feels alive, but the question is: how much longer can it run? It’s tempting to speculate. Will October continue the momentum, experience a sm

$Netflix(NFLX)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ $Warner Bros. Discovery(WBD)$ I am watching one of the most compelling cultural, technical, and seasonal inflection points in $NFLX in years. The stock is sitting at a critical neckline, insider selling has accelerated, and Elon Musk has ignited a cultural firestorm that’s colliding with historically bullish October seasonality. This is not a routine pullback; it’s a high-stakes test of narrative versus structure. 📈 Technical Structure: A Critical Neckline 🧠 The technicals are flashing a textbook setup. $NFLX has formed a series of head-and-shoulders patterns across multiple time frames. Price is sitting right on the neckline and

$McCormick(MKC)$ is scheduled to report its fiscal Q3 2025 earnings on Tuesday, October 7th, before market open. The general market expectation is for modest revenue growth but a slight decline in Earnings Per Share (EPS) year-over-year. Revenue (Net Sales) : the consensus estimate (Q3 2025) for revenue is expected to come in approx. $1.71 Billion, which would be approx. +2.0% to +2.1% Year-over-Year change, compared to $1.68 billion from prior year Q3 2024 (Actual) Adjusted EPS : the consensus estimate (Q3 2025) for earnings per share (EPS) is expected to come in approx. $0.81 to $0.82 which would be approx. -1.2% to -2.4% Year-over-Year change, compared to $0.83 from prior year Q3 2024 (Actual).

Accelerating billings, AI expansion, and a fortress-like Zero Trust model—can Zscaler sustain its lofty valuation in a jittery macro climate? There’s an old saying in cybersecurity: no one ever got fired for being too secure. $Zscaler Inc.(ZS)$ has taken that maxim and built a $48 billion business around it, redefining how enterprises connect and protect in a cloud-first world. Yet with a forward P/E of 84 and a price-to-sales ratio pushing 18, investors have to ask: does its architecture and growth momentum truly justify such a premium? The unseen fortress guarding the world’s digital arteries Billings point to forward acceleration Zscaler’s latest results didn’t just impress—they accelerated. Calculated billings rose 32 per cent year-on-year, whil

I find Bitcoin's surge past $122,000, driven by a short squeeze that liquidated over $313 million in positions, to be an exciting development. The fact that it hit a seven-week high on Thursday shows the market's strength and the power of bullish sentiment. Compared to mid-August when BTC briefly touched $124,000, the current conditions seem more favorable, and I'm intrigued by the momentum this could signal for the crypto market. That said, I'm a bit cautious about whether this new high momentum will continue, especially with gold pulling back. Bitcoin often moves in tandem with or against traditional assets like gold, and a retreat there might put pressure on BTC. The short squeeze has given it a boost, but sustaining that upward trajectory will depend on broader market dynamics and inve

The move toward $122K+ for BTC is likely being driven by a mix of factors. It is rarely “all inflows” or “all short squeeze” in isolation. In this article I would like to share and break down which forces seem to be at play, what evidence supports each, and what that implies going forward. Evidence for Funds / Real Demand Inflow These are signs that genuine demand (especially institutional) is pushing BTC higher: These are fairly strong signals that the rise is not purely “blowoff” — there is real demand and structural support. Evidence for Short Squeeze / Leverage Liquidations However, the short squeeze / forced buyback dynamic is also plausibly contributing. Some signals include: Reports that over $1 billion in short positions have been liquidated recently, which would force buying into

$Oracle(ORCL)$ 🚨🔥☁️ Oracle’s CapEx Surge: Betting the House on Cloud Expansion 🔥☁️🚨 🧠 Oracle’s CapEx as a percentage of operating cash flow has gone parabolic, climbing from a stable 3–14% range over the past two decades to a staggering 127% in the latest period. That means Oracle is spending more than it generates in cash flow to fund its infrastructure ambitions. Historically, the company operated as a capital-light software player. Now it’s all-in on a physical buildout to chase the AI and cloud opportunity. 📈 From FY06 through FY21, CapEx hovered in single digits, reflecting the classic Oracle model. Then came the inflection. FY22 jumped to 47%, FY23 rose again to 51%, FY24 eased briefly to 37%, and FY25 LTM has rocketed vertically. Total CapE
