$CRITICAL METALS CORPORATION(CRML)$ is a play on Greenland and rare earth minerals rather than Austrian Lithium or EU. At least that is what the latest surge in price is about. With Trump talking up taking over Greenland following the military operation in Venezuela, market has priced in the possibility of Trump participation in CRML's resources ownership via US government. CRML happened to announce a series of positive resources and offtake related news that sent market into frenzy. Yes, another asset carried in CRML's book is the Austrian Lithium mine, however the recent spike has nothing to do with it. CRML is not doing anything over that mine, so it doesn't make sense to link the current spike to that. Just a statement to correct your narrati
Micron's $400B Milestone: AI Ignites Explosive Memory Boom or Bubble Burst Ahead? 🔥💥
$Micron Technology(MU)$ Buckle up, folks—Micron Technology just shattered records, catapulting its market cap beyond $400 billion after an epic 8% surge! 📈 This isn't just another stock pop; it's fueled by Citigroup's chilling alert on a potential "runaway surge" in memory chip prices throughout 2026. With AI gobbling up bandwidth like never before, tight supplies are clashing with skyrocketing demand from data centers, edge devices, and autonomous systems. Jensen Huang from Nvidia nailed it: AI is shifting to a memory-first world where models "think" longer and hoard more context. That means DRAM and HBM are the new gold rush! 🌟 But let's dive deep—can this pricing frenzy propel Micron even higher? Analysts are buzzing with price targets hitting $4
Silver's Wild Ride: Epic Reset or Squeeze Over? 🚀💥
Buckle up, metal maniacs! Silver just took a nosedive, shedding over 5% in a flash before markets even woke up. 😱 But hold your horses—is this the death knell for the silver squeeze, or just a cheeky breather before it blasts off again? Let's dive deep into the chaos with fresh insights straight from the trenches. 🌟 First off, spot silver's chilling around $90 per ounce right now, clawing back from a brutal low near $86 after peaking at a mind-blowing $93.75. 📉 Why the tumble? Blame it on the Trump crew hitting pause on those hefty tariffs for critical minerals like silver and platinum. Instead of slapping on broad import taxes, they're opting for cozy bilateral chats to secure supplies. 📜 This eases the global tightness that's been squeezing prices sky-high, potentially unleashing outflow

NVDA Trapped in Gamma Prison: 170 Put Wall Saves Us, 190 Call Wall Fucks Us – OPEX Escape Next Week
Anyone who's been bagholding $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ the past 2 months knows the pain. Market rips, AI hype keeps pumping, yet this bitch refuses to move. 170 is the magical floor it bounces off like it's on springs, 190 is the invisible ceiling that smacks it back down every time it gets close. Feels cursed, right? Nah, it's not some spooky Chinese wizard—it's just dealer gamma pinning doing its thing. $GraniteShares 2x Long NVDA Daily ETF(NVDL)$$GraniteShares 2x Short NVDA Daily ETF(NVD)$$Tradr 1.5X Short NVDA Daily ETF(NVDS)$ The real villains aren't Citadel or whatever boogeyman you blame.

🚨🚨🚨As of Friday, January 16, 2026, global financial markets are experiencing a "risk-on" rebound driven by strong technology earnings, while the crypto market consolidates near historic highs amidst new regulatory shifts. 📈 Stock Market Summary Equity markets have largely broken their recent losing streak, buoyed by massive demand for Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure. * US Markets: Wall Street steadied on Thursday (Jan 15) as the S&P 500 (+0.6%) and Nasdaq (+0.8%) rebounded. This was primarily sparked by TSMC's stellar quarterly results, which calmed fears of an "AI bubble" and boosted Nvidia (+2.3%). * Indian Markets (Dalal Street): The Sensex jumped over 700 points (~0.85%) today, trading above 84,000. Infosys led the rally with a ~4.7% gain after raising its f
🌟🌟🌟One word to describe my trades this week: "DISCIPLINED" - because even when the markets threw a tantrum I didn't. Trump's 10% credit card interest idea sent US bank stocks like $JPMorgan Chase(JPM)$ and $Bank of America(BAC)$ wobbling, like they had just heard a bad karaoke, but I stayed exactly where I needed to be. No panic selling, no overreacting, no "let me check this chart for the umpteen time". I simply let $Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLF)$ do what XLF does best - smooth out the noise, diversify the drama and keep the entire financial sector moving like a well oiled machine. That is the beauty of holding XLF instead of micromanaging every
Silver is far from done. There is a global shortage that cannot be resolved in the medium term. So I'll be buying the dips. But while everyone is frothing over gold and silver prices. They are not focused on the bigger picture. That my tiger friends is copper. So the future reality in the short to medium term is the massive requirement for new data centers and thus also new power generation infrastructure. So while the gold and silver resources required for data centers can be measured in 10s of kilograms, the copper requirements are measured in the 1000s of kilograms. For a single data center. More and more I get questions from my fellow tigers asking how am I increasing my wealth so quickly. copper is a clear example. It's obvious to me, but clearly not that obvious to others.
1. Current Drivers of the Rally Structural memory supply tightness Memory chip prices, especially DRAM and NAND flash, are increasing sharply due to strong demand from AI data centres and constrained production capacity. Citi analysts have dramatically raised 2026 average selling price forecasts (DRAM up to ~88 percent, NAND up to ~74 percent), driven by escalating AI workloads. AI-led demand acceleration Generative AI and large language model deployments are consuming significant portions of global memory supply, particularly high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and server DRAM. This has supported pricing power for Micron and peers such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. Earnings and balance sheet strength Micron has reported robust revenue growth and sold out its HBM3E production fo
Stratasys speed up fixture production for their own hardware
Bloomberg post today on OpenAI's push to robotics.[Miser] [Miser] This is an asymmetrical long on the scale-up of robotics Tesla Optimus builds on Sanhua & Tuopu (suppliers for actuators), which uses Stratasys. Basically: They've solved the robotics bottleneck by creating lightweight frames that replace heavy metal and Boston Dynamics and other Robotics build their frames on. So at the bottom of the robotics supply chain is $Stratasys(SSYS)$ where the former robotics metal frames ->plastic. Eg (structural limbs of Atlas). As robotics scales up -> so does their revenue. Extremely low downside risk with $255.0 Million in cash, no debt. FY 2025 Revenue: Guided at $550M – $560M: 45.3% gross margins (very hi
I own a lot of bank and investment bank stocks plus Amex, visa and sofi. All have have an annualized return of over 50% and a third over 100%. Well by all, I mean all but one. Visa has sucked, oh wait if I lump PayPal in there to, it’s very suckie. My annualized return on visa is -1% give or take. PayPal is like -20%. But pretty insignificant compared to overall gains. But as I looks through my investment notes, it clear. $Citigroup(C)$ was a no brainer. And old fashioned value stock when I brought it. David Dodd would be proud. It was trading at around half of its break up value when I brought it. You never find stocks like that these days. But find it I did. I brought ALOt of different bank stocks during the “banking crisis” around two years ago.
🌟🌟🌟The SRS ETF I am most bullish is $GLD SG$(GSD.SI)$ . The performance history shows that GSD has delivered strong long term returns, especially during periods of uncertainty. In 2025 GSD has skyrocketed 57% and is the best performing ETF compared to the other ETFs. In 2024 GSD is up by 26%. Gold shines when markets wobble and these numbers reflect that. Gold has historically been a store of value especially when inflation rises, currencies weaken, geopolitical tensions increase and markets become volatile. GSD works well inside SRS as SRS locks funds until retirement age and GSD is the perfect hedge in a long term account. Unlike stocks or bonds, Gold cannot go bankrupt since it is pure asset value. There is also low
The Elliott Wave Theory and High Frequency Trading
Financial markets have evolved dramatically over time, moving from human-dominated trading floors to highly automated, algorithm-driven systems. Two concepts that represent these different eras are the Elliott Wave Theory and high-frequency trading (HFT), Elliott Wave Theory focuses on market psychology and recurring price patterns. HFT on the other hand relies on advanced algorithms and ultra-fast execution. Elliott Wave Theory The Elliott Wave Theory, developed by Ralph Nelson Elliott in the 1930s, suggests that financial markets move in predictable patterns driven by collective investor psychology. According to the theory, prices move in a series of five impulsive waves in the direction of the main trend. It was then followed by three corrective waves against the trend. These
Exxon Mobil (XOM) has reached a new all‑time high, confirming that bullish momentum has returned. The near‑term cycle, which began from the November 26, 2025 low, is unfolding as a five‑wave impulse. From that origin, wave (1) concluded at $125.93, followed by a corrective decline in wave (2) that reached $118.27. The internal subdivision of wave (2) formed a zigzag Elliott Wave structure. Within this correction, wave A finished at $122.39 and wave B peaked at $126.20. Wave C declined to $117.90, completing wave (2) at a higher degree. Afterward, the stock resumed its upward trajectory in wave (3). From that advance, wave 1 terminated at $124.86, while wave 2 pulled back to $122.56. The rally continued with wave 3, which ended at $131.72. A subsequent retracement in wave 4 that settled at
My personal opinion: given the significant rally in anticipation of the Jan' 22 earnings report and tge overall mixed signals, INTC's stock movement is highly uncertain biz. It could either jump on further earnings surprise or experience a sell the news pullback. Overall I think it is overvalued, increasing volatility risk. Point also to note is that Intel's post-earnings performance is historically volatile: sometimes seeing sharp gains & at other times seeing significant drops, depending heavily on whether results and forward guidance meet expectations.
I think storage pricing momentum is expected to carry the stock through the first half of 2026, but significant concerns regarding demand destruction may emerged for the latter half of the year. Further the present surge is driven by a "strategic reallocation" of manufacturing capacity toward high-margin AI components like High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), which is starving the supply of conventional DRAM and NAND for PCs and smartphones. This could boomerang too. But general consensus is that $Micron Technology(MU)$ could touch $500 in 2026. So, keeping fingers crossed & a prayer on the lips.
