Stock Market Broadening Out. Too Late To Enter, Or Just Buy The Dip?
There seem to be still many opportunities available in the market especially if you have a longer term thesis of AI expansion to the next one 2 and 3 years respectively. Now that we are off of the most recent sell-off lows and a lot of the AI and tech names are well off their bottoms. Now we need to ask ourselves if is it still a decent time to buy into 2026? I would be looking at these high quality tech stocks $Amazon.com(AMZN)$, $Alphabet(GOOGL)$,$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and $Microsoft(MSFT)$ and examine if there is good opportunities to go into? In this a
$NVDA$For some reason, institutions have modest expectations for NVIDIA's Q1 performance. Long calls were rolled ahead of the CES conference:Closed 50,000 contracts of the Feb 170 call $NVDA 20260220 170.0 CALL$ and rolled into buying 50,000 contracts of the Mar 160 call $NVDA 20260320 160.0 CALL$ .Not only is the strike price lower, but the expiration is also extended. The only plausible reason seems to be a clear market aversion to the supply chain closely tied to OpenAI.The Jan 185 call $NVDA 20260116 185.0 CALL$ saw 45,000 contracts opened, with mixed buy/sell flow.During the s

$XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ rises to a fresh all-time high near $4,500, marking roughly the 50th record break this year and positioning both gold and silver for their strongest annual performance in more than four decades. $Silver - main 2603(SImain)$ passes $70!The latest surge has been driven by renewed bets that the Federal Reserve will deliver two rate cuts in 2026, alongside heightened geopolitical risk, with major banks including Goldman Sachs arguing that structural support for gold remains intact into next year.While the U.S. dollar has remained superficially stable during the surge in metals prices, this does not necessarily contradict the broader “currency debasement” narrative taking sh
Is ROBO.AI ($AIIO) Replicating the "Geely-Volvo Acquisition" Miracle?
In the world of high-beta tech stocks, the "Smart Money" isn't chasing all-time highs; they are hunting for asymmetric risk/reward setups.Recently, $Robo.ai Inc(AIIO)$ announced its plan to participate in the acquisition of Shanghai Jidu Auto (Jiyue Brand). To the average retail trader, this looks like a cross-sector pivot. However, to the trained institutional eye, this signals a textbook "Special Situation"—a massive value arbitrage opportunity where a small-cap entity absorbs a high-value asset at a distressed price.ROBO.AI is currently trading at a valuation floor. If you understand the mechanics behind Geely’s acquisition of Volvo or Avago’s early M&A strategy, you will recognize that AIIO is standing on the edge of a massive repricing ev
