SpaceX Post-IPO: One Month In and Already Following the Classic Script
SpaceX went public on June 12 at $135. The stock didn’t waste time it ripped higher and hit $225 within weeks. Classic IPO pop. Retail piled in, hype went into overdrive, and for a brief moment it felt like the rocket company could do no wrong. One month later, reality is biting. The stock is trading right around $136 basically back at the IPO price. That’s a 40% drawdown from the peak in just weeks. If the well-worn post-IPO pattern holds, the next stop is uglier. A full 50% haircut from the IPO price would take it down to the $70 zone. That level sits below the entry for almost everyone who bought at or after the listing. That’s usually where the real pain hits, retail capitulation kicks in, and the long “dead money” phase begins sometimes lasting years before any susta
📉📈 BSBS Futures Study Case #1 – FTSE China A50 Index Futures (CN2609): free lucky draw
🚀 Trading With the Trend, Then Trading the Rebound Every trading day tells a different story. Some days the market trends strongly in one direction, while other days it swings back and forth. The key lesson I continue to learn is that I don’t need to predict every move. Instead, I want to react to what the market is showing me. Today, I traded the FTSE China A50 Index Futures September 2026 contract (CN2609) listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX). My approach was simple. I first followed the bearish momentum by taking a short position. After locking in that profit, I observed signs that the selling pressure was easing and switched to a long position to capture a small rebound. This article explains my trade, the contract specifications, and several futures trading concepts for educational
It's out. It's happening! No wonder $echo price action showed some strength $20 Billion + incoming to a $28 Billion Mcap company 🤩 🔸 It lets EchoStar move forward with the AT&T wholesale/hybrid model and the SpaceX spectrum deal without violating the old merger decree. 🔸It still gives EchoStar valuable assets (prepaid business, cell site access, spectrum option) while reducing the capital burden. This is the legal green light for EchoStar’s $echo new strategy: sell most spectrum to AT&T and SpaceX, become a hybrid MVNO + satellite player, use the cash to pay down debt, and avoid the massive cost of building its own full network. Interesting fact: Founder / CEO owns ~50%+ of the company and ~90% voting power. Skin in the game.
Hello everyone! Today i want to share some trading ideas with you! 1 $ASML Holding NV(ASML)$ makes the machines that every advanced AI chip depends on and just raised its 2026 outlook for the second time this year. When $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$$Intel(INTC)$$SK hynix(SKHY)$ and $Micron Technology(MU)$ place orders with ASML they're effectively voting on the amount of advanced chip capacity they expect to need several years from now. With logic and memory now growing together, ASML is b

1 Gold (XAU/USD) has shown an overall weak trend today, maintaining a pattern of weak consolidation and selling on rallies. Pressured by recent oil price rebounds that have sparked inflation concerns (reigniting expectations of high interest rates), the gold price is currently in a wide-range downward channel. $Gold - main 2608(GCmain)$ The intraday low has been updated to 4024. Although prices have rebounded slightly, they remain under pressure at the absolute bottom of the downtrend channel. Step-like downward consolidation: After encountering resistance in the 4060 area, gold prices formed a very standard “decline–sideways consolidation–further decline” step-like bearish pattern, with the lower boundary of each consolidation
It’s Coming. In the season of quarterly earnings report, TV darling $Netflix(NFLX)$ is due to report its own on Thu, 16 Jul 2026 after market has closed. Before that happens, let’s recap what have been happening to NFLX since walking away from the $Warner Bros. Discovery(WBD)$ bidding war; that incidentally is still facing a lot of oppositions on its merger with $Paramount Skydance Corp(PSKY)$. $Bank of America(BAC)$ is still bullish about NFLX with a 'Buy' rating and a price target $125 per share, despite a -19.19% decline in its shares YTD.

Two Must-Watch Strategies Now: the Enticing oil Crack Spread and Stock-Index Options Straddle
Every week, Owen talks through some of the trading opportunities and strategies in the current market that are worth watching. This time we won't dwell on preliminaries and will get straight to the point. I believe there are two main opportunities to focus on this time: First, the crude oil crack spread has now surged to a historic extreme. How to find the right timing to short the spread is a highly noteworthy profit opportunity. Second, U.S. equities are currently stuck in a high-level, range-bound pattern. With tonight's upcoming CPI data as a catalyst, how should we use an options straddle strategy to bet on a return of volatility? This is likewise an opportunity worth exploring. Let's look at them one by one. $标普500(.SPX)$
P&L (15 July 2026) The brutal sell-off in the Chips and Storage sector is showing no mercy, making my internship project a nice, albeit busy, distraction from staring at a bleeding screen. Heavy hitters like $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and $Broadcom(AVGO)$ are continuing to feel the squeeze, while $Marvell Technology(MRVL)$ hasn't escaped the pain either, dragging down the rest of the semi-portfolio. Even outside of pure silicon plays, speculative tech holdings like $Ondas Holdings Inc.(ONDS)$ and $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ are catching some of the risk-o
Just one month ago, $SpaceX(SPCX)$ looked unstoppable. Today, the stock has fallen below its IPO price for the first time. The decline isn't just about weaker momentum. It's about something much bigger: The market is beginning to reprice the story. From Euphoria to Price Discovery SpaceX entered the public market with enormous expectations. Investors weren't simply buying a launch company. They were buying a portfolio of future businesses: • AI infrastructure • Starlink • Autonomous systems • The space economy That combination pushed the stock sharply higher after its debut. But eventually every newly listed company reaches the same point: The narrative gives way to valuation. The Next Test Isn't Earnings—It's Supply The next few months could be m
$NVDA Rally Stretches to Extremes, Pullback Risk Rises
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ ⚡ Key Takeaway NVDA jumped sharply today, extending a Buy and Hold position that's now five days into a strong run higher. The zone level has rocketed to a rare extreme, the kind of reading that often precedes a breather rather than more of the same. Even so, a slide into the Bearish zone remains effectively off the table. The next buying opportunity isn't expected until next week, reflecting a shift toward a more neutral near-term stance. This is strength worth respecting, not chasing blindly. 1️⃣ What Is Happening Right Now 📌 Jul 14, 2026 Market Snapshot Parameter Value Close $211.8 (+4.06%) Trend Zone 🟩 Bullish Trend Sub-Regime Uptrend (Correction Signal Emerging) Zone Level Bullish 84% Bearish Zone Entry Risk ⚠️ 0% within 10 day
The Earnings Trap Every Options Trader Should Know
Every new options trader loses money the exact same way on earnings. You call the direction right. The stock moves your way. You open the app and you're down 40%. Here's IV crush explained: Before earnings, uncertainty peaks. Market makers jack up option prices to match. The second the numbers hit, that uncertainty is gone. Implied volatility collapses 30-60% overnight. Beat, miss, doesn't matter. The crush happens every single time. The math that wrecks you: Option P&L = direction + volatility + time decay. Say your call has 0.30 vega and IV drops 15 points post-earnings. That's -$4.50 from the crush. Your correct directional call made you +$3.00. -1.5 total Right on the stock. Still lost money. How hard the crush hits, by sector: - Biotech: 40-70% (binary FDA outcomes) - High-beta te
