The Intel Turnaround in July 2026: Structural AI Imperatives, Foundry Viability, and Investment Strategy
Intel Stock Is Declining During the trading session on July 7, 2026, Intel Corporation (INTC) experienced a severe single-day valuation collapse, plummeting 9.66% to close below the $111 threshold at $110.32. This sharp correction extended a brutal 21% decline over seven trading sessions from its late-June high of $140.05, forcing the stock below its 5-day, 10-day, 20-day, and 30-day moving averages and testing key support near the 200-day exponential moving average at $108.66. This dramatic reversal occurred in tandem with a high-volume, global retreat across the semiconductor sector, which was triggered by mixed preliminary second-quarter revenue from Samsung Electronics, a second "DeepSeek shock" highlighting custom-silicon risks, and persistent macroeconomic anxieties arising from Midd
Tesla (TSLA) Retests $400: Will the Psychological Support Shelf Hold?
Tesla ( $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ ) is once again back in the hot seat, pulling back 4.02% to close at $402.94 after a tug-of-war between bulls and bears. This drop puts the critical $400 psychological level under immediate pressure, completely unwinding the strong recovery from the previous session. Crucially for traders, this retreat was driven by broad macro tech weakness rather than stock-specific bad news. While the broader market pulled Tesla down, a massive fundamental catalyst is keeping the bulls interested: fresh Wall Street upgrades fueled by Tesla-SpaceX merger speculation. With the stock hovering on a razor's edge, will the $400 support shelf hold, or are we looking at a deeper gap fill? Let’s break down the technical levels and catalyst b

Nvidia Bucks the Chip Rout: Safe-Haven Capital Flees to AI's Dominant Leader Better Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock Buy in June: AMD vs. Nvidia (The Winner Might Surprise You) The semiconductor sector suffered a massive blow as disappointing forward guidance from Samsung triggered a sweeping panic across the chip landscape. The damage was severe: Advanced Micro Devices ( $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ ) and Intel ( $Intel(INTC)$) absorbed heavy losses, while the popular 3x leveraged semiconductor ETF ($SOXL) cratered by 15%. Yet, amidst the sea of red, Nvidia ( $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ ) did what it does best it bucked the trend. Nvidia edged up 0.71% to close at $196, de

War Reignites Between the US and Iran: How Do You Trade Futures Short-Term? (Recent Returns Revealed
Last time I talked with you about this week's options strategy: besides continuing to run the index options straddle into rallies, one could also consider going long U.S. Treasuries on dips — especially the price of the long-bond TLT. But on Treasuries, as of today, after the escalation of the U.S.–Iran war, everyone needs to be more careful: rising crude oil drives inflation expectations higher, which could push Treasury yields up further, and Treasury prices would then face downward pressure. So we can lift the stop-loss on the buy-the-dip Treasury view a bit higher — up to near the prior-low support around $83.5. Review:Strong Dollar Returns: After Booking the Straddle Win,Why Treasuries Deserv

【POLL】85 Trades/Day — What Can Retail Investors Learn From the Trump's Rhythm?
【NEWS EVENT】 The U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) just disclosed that President Donald Trump executed over 21,000 securities trades in 2025, with a total value between $600 million and $1.86 billion. Trump's team claims these assets are independently managed by third-party institutions through "automated, model-based portfolios," placing them in a so-called "blind trust." Trump averaged 85 trades per market day in 2025, with a net purchase of approximately 300million in U.S. stocks for the full year. His holdings are heavily concentrated inTechnology( $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ , $Microsoft(MSFT)$ , $Apple(AAPL)$ , $Advanced Micro
We are just days into July 2026 and Q2 2026 earnings season is just about to kickstart again. While we await for $Pepsi(PEP)$ to get the ball rolling on Thu, 09 Jul 2026, I think it is timely to tap into Wall Street’s veterans and find out where they think about S&P 500 index from now until end of 2026. Tom Lee, Savita Subramanian, and the broader Wall Street - bullish views are geared towards the same S&P 500 setup, but they are (clearly) not looking through the same lens. Tom Lee’s Bifurcated Outlook First off, we have Fundstrat, Managing Partner, Tom Lee. Lee’s message is the most nuanced because it combines (a) near-term caution with (b) longer-term confidence. In Mon, 6 Jul 2026 interview with CNBC, he sees (a) an immediate bounce, fol
U.S. stocks declined Tuesday (SPX -0.2%, NDX -1.0%) after Samsung’s strong earnings left investors unimpressed, triggering sharp drops in AI chip stocks (Samsung -8%, SK Hynix -7%, MU -6%). Brent crude rose 1.3% to $73/bbl following an Iranian strike on a Qatari LNG tanker near the Strait of Hormuz. 10-year yields climbed to 4.50%, while Bitcoin, gold, and silver fell. S&P 500 2026 EPS estimates have risen +25% YoY to $345 amid AI and energy gains. I remain cautious on $TSLA despite strong 2Q EV deliveries, given the likely commoditization of unsupervised autonomy and an elevated valuation.
