$iShares Bitcoin Trust(IBIT)$ So glad I held IBIT! It attracted $25.1 billion in inflows in 2025, leading all crypto ETFs, strong start to the year drives big gains~
$Exxon Mobil(XOM)$ is on fire! 1.92% surge on Jan 2, closing at $122.65 to hit a new stage high, driven by energy sector strength and potential return to Venezuela's oil market!
$ASML Holding NV(ASML)$ Last Friday, U.S. semiconductor stocks collectively soared, with ASML hitting an all-time high — the global semiconductor bull market is here. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index opened high and climbed further, surging over 4.3% to a new short-term high. Leading stocks rallied across the board: ASML gained over 9%, Micron surged more than 10%, signaling a super boom cycle for the global semiconductor industry.
$NuScale Power(SMR)$ While NVDA $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ stays rock solid, small-cap growth names like SMR (nuclear) are quietly picking up speed. There’s nothing romantic about it—the logic is brutally cold: the AI battle has moved down to the physical layer. Mega-cap tech is entering a phase of “average growth,” while companies like SMR and $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ , the so-called “physical AI” plays, are sitting right at the 0-to-1 breakout point. Smart money is clearly rotating, increasing exposure to small caps to hedge against potential fatigue in big tech. Caught this move early—and it’s paying off nicely.
$Micron Technology(MU)$ At the close of U.S. markets last Friday, Micron surged 10.51%, hitting an all-time high, with trading volume reaching $13 billion. Memory chips are absolutely on fire!!! With the AI tailwind, prices keep rising, supply stays tight, and Micron keeps making new highs!
$Navitas Semiconductor Corp(NVTS)$ ’s core products are deeply tied to AI power solutions and have effectively become the main engine driving its business growth. The company is a leader in next-generation power semiconductors such as gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC). Simply put, its products are the “core switches” that enable faster charging, smaller form factors, and higher efficiency in electronic devices. The stock is up 17% — staying bullish on it.
$Baidu(BIDU)$ A lot of people think Baidu is just riding the large-model wave, but the real story runs much deeper. Baidu started investing in chips back in 2011 — even earlier than $Alphabet(GOOG)$$Alphabet(GOOGL)$ ’s TPU. Now with Kunlun Chips spinning off, tech breakthroughs, real commercialization, and an IPO push, the message is clear: Baidu doesn’t just want to use computing power, it wants to control it. This isn’t a short-term hype trade — it’s long-term vision finally paying off. Profits like this feel solid and well-deserved.
