Summary Carvana has rebounded from near-bankruptcy to profitability, but its current valuation is highly inflated and difficult to justify. CVNA's recent success is driven by aggressive cost-cutting, debt restructuring, and a surge in retail units sold. The company faces significant risks, such as looming debt obligations that could strain future cash flows. Despite operational improvements, I rate CVNA as a sell due to unresolved financial concerns and an unsustainable premium valuation compared to peers. Introduction Back in 2022, when Carvana was rumored to go bankrupt, I remember shorting the stock all the way to $3 a share, closing it, and never looking back. And I was surely astonished to see the company back to almost $400 a share, considering all the setbacks and difficulties the c

$IREN Ltd(IREN)$ ok been holding off investing in this stock, because it was a bitcoin miner. I know many of you are huge fans of bitcoin but for me, I just don't have the conviction in bitcoin. We can just agree to disagree. But Iren sold it's bitcoin as it was mined, and they have used that revenue to build moat worthy data centers. Now they are switching out their bitcoin infrastructure and replacing it with $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Gpu's big time. So its a massive AI play, where demand outstrips supply almost 10 to one, when you consider they have brought the land already, built the buildings, and are building more as i wright. Have moat worthy cheap renewable energy supplies locked in. And a very impressive ma
$SOFI 20251017 25.0 PUT$ sharing profitable options trade. SoFI had been one of my staple trace the past 2 years and among my largest profitable trade so far. Had been selling puts on SoFI since it was like $7 and continue selling on its way up. So far satisfied with their performance.
$Rigetti Computing(RGTI)$ Closed out a massive 400% holding from cost price $10 @300 shares. Left a little to run. We've had a big run, so im not feeling too comfortable leaving too much $ in RGTI. Have rebalanced into AMKR, PRIM, IREN, ASTS etc and kept some 5k USD cash. Not too sad on lost potential because my other holdings that i rebalanced into are returning larger %s. That said, im going to start re-accumulating cash pool for dips that i know are coming, just not when.
$Alphabet(GOOGL)$$NVIDIA(NVDA)$$Microsoft(MSFT)$ 🚀📈💥 $GOOGL HITS FRESH ALL TIME HIGH 💥📈🚀 I’m watching $GOOGL rip to $256.17 today, up +2.05%, with a vertical candle that screams conviction. The chart shows a sharp intraday acceleration, and that’s not by accident. A single whale scooped up around $3M in $260 calls expiring 24Oct25, with the bulk of the volume hitting just after the open. That kind of size isn’t retail noise; it’s targeted positioning ahead of something bigger. 🤝 Salesforce $CRM and $GOOGL just expanded their AI partnership. Google’s Gemini models will integrate with Agentforce 360, Google Workspace, and Slack to boost workflow automation, reas

Rocket Lab has just entered that phase.

I maintain two strategies — one focused on growth stocks and another on dividend plays like Singapore’s major banks. With rate cuts approaching, I still value DBS, OCBC, and UOB for their strong balance sheets and reliable payouts. DBS, in particular, remains my core dividend holding thanks to its consistent earnings and attractive yield. At the same time, I keep a separate growth portfolio targeting sectors like technology and AI, where structural trends continue to drive earnings expansion. This helps balance the slower but steadier returns from dividend stocks, giving me exposure to both stability and long-term upside. Rather than rotating fully into one side, I stay flexible — adding selectively during market pullbacks. If bank valuations dip further, I’ll top up for yield; and if gro
I think gold still has a long way to go up as global political instability is going to continue. But I prefer gold mining stocks to physical gold as the mining companies are leveraged to the gold price and pay dividends. $BTG 20260116 2.5 CALL$

$Amazon.com(AMZN)$$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Strategic Accumulation: Why This Setup Has My Full Attention I started trading in my early teens, and few names keep me up at night like Amazon does; not because I’m worried, but because I’m calculating how much deeper I’ll go on the next dip. As of 17Oct25, with $AMZN hugging its 200-day moving average at 215.63 after closing there yesterday, I see a classic accumulation zone forming. This isn’t hype; it’s a setup where fundamentals scream value while the market catches its breath. I’ve scaled in twice this year around 210 and 220, and I’m tracking 210 as my next entry if broader rotations pu
$Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF(GBTC)$$Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF(BTCO)$$iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF(IBIT)$ 🚨📉💰 Bitcoin ETF Flows Flip: Red Alert for Crypto, Tactical Setup Brewing 💥📊🔥 Chart Breakdown The flows just snapped negative: $-104.1M in net outflows yesterday, erasing the prior day’s $102.7M inflow. GBTC led the bleed with $82.9M out, BTCO saw $11.1M, and IBIT lost $10.1M. That’s a liquidity flush in motion. The volatility since Friday has been extreme; this isn’t a “pause,” it’s a potential credibility reset. On BTC price charts, we’re seeing weakening momentum. MACD is curling down toward the zero line; RSI is slipping from overbought toward 50 and failin
🌟🌟🌟October marks the start of Q3 earnings season. It is a time when Tech Titans, Industrial Giants and Financial Powerhouses step onto the stage to reveal what is really happening behind the scenes. Earnings season is important because public companies must disclose their financial health, revenues, expenses, profits and strategic direction. It is like a report card and it keeps management honest and accountable to their shareholders. Share prices can swing dramatically based on earnings results. A beat or a miss can reshape investor sentiment, trigger sector rotations and even shift macro narratives. This earnings season is even more important as the US government shutdown continues into its 3rd week and the geopolitical tensions between the US and China continue. I will be f
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$$T-REX 2X INVERSE TESLA DAILY TARGET ETF(TSLZ)$$Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares(TSLL)$ 🚗🔥📊 Tesla’s Chop Coil: Cancelled Blocks, Key Levels, and Friday Pattern Test 🚀🚀🚀 💰 Flow Dynamics Two sizeable Tesla dark pool and block prints were cancelled late in the session: 173,900 shares at 434.10 dollars (about 75 million) and 136,900 shares at 433.50 dollars (about 59 million). When block traders back away like this, it usually signals uncertainty in directional conviction, not disinterest. It’s rare to see both dark and lit blocks get yanked simultaneously this close to earnings; that makes it noteworthy. 🧭 Technical Structure Tesla held the 4
🌟🌟🌟A good options strategy to use this earnings season is a Bull Call Spread if you expect moderate upside. For example if Google $Alphabet(GOOG)$ beats earnings but doesn't surge dramatically in price. How it works : Buy a Call at a lower strike price, sell a Call at a higher strike price. If Google beats earnings but the market response is measured - say a 3% to 5% rise instead of 15% to 20%. This is a great scenario for a Bull Call Spread where you profit from moderate upside without chasing extremes. A Bull Call Spread is also a potentially lower cost way to trade a moderately bullish view on a stock. @Tiger_comments
General Motors Navigates Headwinds with Strong Sales Ahead of Q3 2025 Earnings
$General Motors(GM)$ is slated to release its third-quarter 2025 financial results before the market opens on Tuesday, October 21, 2025. Investors are bracing for a complex report that will see the automotive giant's strong sales performance, particularly in the electric vehicle (EV) segment, overshadowed by a significant $1.6 billion pre-tax charge. This charge stems from the recent reduction of EV tax incentives and a relaxation of emissions standards, which has prompted GM to reassess its EV production and investment strategy. Analysts' consensus estimates for the third quarter reflect this mixed backdrop. The average forecast for earnings per share (EPS) is pegged at approximately $2.26, a noticeable decline from the same period last year. Reven
