$Salesforce.com(CRM)$ Don't be fooled by the Market which tends to overreact both ways. Crm is a fundamental sound company with Consistent profits & revenue. It is also buyIng back their own shares which are way underValued. The narrative can shift suddenly like what happened to Google a year ago.
AMD clearing $300 is symbolically powerful, but the more important question is whether fundamentals are still expanding faster than expectations. Right now, the market is no longer pricing AMD as a “catch-up AI play” but as a credible second pillar behind Nvidia. That re-rating is largely driven by MI300 traction and ecosystem validation. The issue is that expectations have moved just as quickly as the narrative. Why risk/reward is tightening: Valuation expansion first, earnings later: A large part of the move reflects multiple expansion rather than realised AI revenue scale. Execution gap vs Nvidia: CUDA moat, software maturity, and hyperscaler lock-in still favour Nvidia meaningfully. Supply chain cyclicality: Strength in Micron Technology and memory names signals a broader AI capex wave
$Intel(INTC)$ A move to $100 for Intel would require more than a single strong quarter. The results are encouraging, but the driver you highlighted, CPU scarcity, is typically cyclical, not structural. Can momentum sustain? Short term, yes: tight CPU supply + enterprise refresh cycles can support pricing and margins for a few quarters. Medium term, uncertain: once supply normalises, pricing power fades unless backed by clear performance leadership versus Advanced Micro Devices. AI gap remains: Intel’s data centre narrative still lags Nvidia in accelerators, which caps multiple expansion. So, $100 is possible only if execution + AI credibility + foundry progress all improve simultaneously. That is a high bar. Who benefits if CPUs are “back”?
The Nasdaq‑100 ETF (QQQ) concluded its corrective phase against the cycle from the April 2025 low at $555.50.

I’m leaning toward C — Semiconductors / AI infrastructure this earnings season. The strength in the $Philadelphia Semiconductor Index(SOX)$ and aggressive capex from $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ suggest this is more than a short-term rally—it’s a multi-year buildout. The real story is expanding beyond chips into power, cooling, and data centers, which gives this theme stronger durability. I’m more cautious on $Microsoft(MSFT)$ & $Alphabet
🌟🌟🌟 The comeback story of $Intel(INTC)$ is a masterclass in what it means to be down but never out. For a while there Intel looks like it was losing its rhythm but now the critics are silenced with an astounding earnings report. Intel reached a record high of USD 85.22 on April 24 2026. This rally has eclipsed the previous all time high set on August 31 2000. The surge is driven by a fundamental shift in Intel's trajectory due to unprecedented AI server demand for server CPUs to support agentic AI, fueling a CPU renaissance. Successful high volume manufacturing on the 18A node has proven Intel can execute its technical road map. Q1 2026 adjusted EPS of USD 0.29 crushed the USD 0.02 analyst estimate, showing significant margin improve
Will AMD Be The Next Nvidia? 🌟🌟🌟 AMD $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ hasn't just broken USD 300, it has skyrocketed to an all time high of USD 347.80, marking one of the most explosive rallies in semiconductor history! Will AMD Be The Next Nvidia? While the "next Nvidia" tag is often used, the reality in 2026 is that AMD is carving out its own unique path as the primary structural alternative to Nvidia's dominance. Closing the Gap: AMD's Data Center revenue reached a record USD 16.6 billion in 2025. While $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ data center revenue is still over 11 times larger, AMD is gaining ground rapidly with its Instinct MI Ser
The Art of the Short Squeeze 🌟🌟🌟 In April 2026, a perfect storm of low liquidity, high short interest and concentrated retail and institutional buying, has reignited the meme stock frenzy. To understand why $Navitas Semiconductor Corp(NVTS)$ $Avis Budget(CAR)$ and $Beyond Meat, Inc.(BYND)$ are moving this way, you have to first understand the mechanics of the Short Squeeze. What is a Short Squeeze? A short squeeze is a high stakes feedback loop where the very act of betting against a stock actually drives its price higher. The Set Up: Short sellers "borrow" shares they do not own and sell them, hopi
AMD above $300 is a psychological and technical breakout, but risk/reward does look tighter here. Advanced Micro Devices has strong tailwinds, namely improving MI-series adoption, broader ecosystem partnerships, and a market willing to price in a credible No. 2 AI accelerator player behind NVIDIA. That said, much optimism is now embedded in valuation. To move materially higher, AMD likely needs clear proof of accelerating AI revenue, stronger margins, and sustained share gains versus rivals. Any execution slip could trigger a sharp pullback after such a strong run. Meanwhile, names like Micron Technology may still offer cleaner upside if memory pricing and HBM demand remain strong, while select AI infrastructure/software plays could provide better asymmetry. My view: • Long-term bullish, t
$Intel(INTC)$ Intel posting its strongest profitability metrics in years is meaningful because it suggests more than a temporary beat. If CPU scarcity is real and product competitiveness is improving, sentiment could shift sharply. Can Intel reach $100 this year? Possible, but demanding. That would require: • sustained margin expansion • clear server CPU share recovery • foundry execution improving credibility • no major competitive reset from Advanced Micro Devices or ARM-based challengers Stocks that could benefit from a CPU revival: • Micron Technology, stronger DRAM/HBM attach rates • Samsung Electronics, memory demand uplift • Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, broader semiconductor capex tailwind • Dell Technologies and HP Inc
Using Berkshire Hathaway method to analyse Stryker Corporation (NYSE: SYK) — The "Medical Toll Bridge"
The Business: A Portfolio of Mini-Monopolies Stryker is a diversified MedTech giant that has effectively de-risked its revenue stream. No single product line accounts for more than 15% of total sales. MedSurg & Neurotechnology: The "Utility" arm. These are the beds, lights, and power tools every hospital must have to function. Orthopaedics: The "Ecosystem" arm. This is anchored by the Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology. The "Buffett" Moat (High Switching Costs): Once a surgeon spends years mastering the Mako robotic system for knee and hip replacements, they are highly unlikely to switch to a competitor. The system becomes the "operating system" of the surgeon's career. Furthermore, Stryker is deeply embedded in hospital procurement workflows, making them a "preferred ven
Leadership in tech constantly shifts, usually once every decade. It’s important to recognize that today’s tech giants may not remain on top tomorrow. The Magnificent 7 feel unstoppable now — but so did IBM, Nokia, and Cisco in their heydays. Each era had its acronym: FANG, FAANG, and now the Magnificent 7. It changes because markets are always recalibrating who the real leaders are. That’s why investing in tech isn’t about blindly buying today’s winners. It requires you to forecast who will actually benefit from the next shift — and avoid those working against it. That’s not easy. Even though some tech stocks have delivered massive gains, there’s a strong survivorship bias — for every success, many others fade into irrelevance. Look at Alphabet. Despite growing revenue, its stock is down 3
Gold should not be seen as a standalone asset. On its own, it has no intrinsic value—and naysayers have been banging on this point for years, saying it doesn’t produce cashflow and therefore can’t be valued. Gold’s value is driven by a myriad of factors. The earliest is that it’s perceived as a store of value—and that perception has lasted until today. In other words, gold has value as long as society believes it has value. Otherwise, we could have used anything. Here’s what matters more: gold’s value is relative to alternative stores of value. And in today’s context, the US Dollar is the single most important currency—a store of value and a medium of exchange. That’s why gold prices tend to have an inverse relationship with the USD. If the USD weakens, gold rises. And vice versa. To me, t
During the Iran War, the USD actually strengthened. At least two reasons for that. First, oil couldn’t flow out of the Middle East due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices shot up. Oil is settled in USD—hence the term PetroDollars. Countries suddenly needed more dollars to buy the same amount of oil. The demand for USD went up, strengthening the Dollar. Second, higher oil prices created inflationary pressure. The Fed was unlikely to cut interest rates as aggressively as initially expected. With higher rates on the Dollar, it attracted more demand for USD deposits and bonds—strengthening the USD once more. In the short term, it’s more likely the Iran War is coming to an end, even though there’s still plenty of politicking online between the US and Iran. Oil prices are expected
