$IBM 20261218 185.0 PUT$ $IBM 20261218 185.0 PUT$ IBM: take profit. Sold this when IBM was at $220 and it's now moved up to $241 in about 2 weeks. As such, the profit target of 70% max premium had been achieved with 59 DTE remaining. There is less reason to hold on to the trade when little remaining premium and with still almost 2 months to wait so closing the trade is the right action to take. Earnings on 21st Oct so this action also remove binary conclusion that will lower the risk to reward of the trade.
💰🐯 SpaceX's AI Business Overtakes Starlink: What's Next for Tesla and Musk's Growing Empire?
$SpaceX(SPCX)$ 's Q3 results reveal a major shift toward AI computing, while Starlink continues generating substantial profits. With $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ reporting tonight and merger discussions underway, what could drive the next market move? Hey Tigers! 🐯 $SpaceX(SPCX)$ delivered a strong Q3 earnings report on October 20, with revenue surging 161% year-over-year to $14.58 billion and GAAP net income reaching $4.4 billion, reversing last year's loss. But the biggest development wasn't simply the earnings beat. For the first time, SpaceX's Super Intelligence (SI) business overtook Starlink as its largest revenue contributor, signaling a shift from traditional a
The ETF I Would DCA for Years: QQQ, With One Important Rule
If I had to choose one ETF to DCA consistently, my answer would be QQQ. Not because it is the safest ETF. Not because it will outperform every year. And definitely not because I expect technology stocks to go up in a straight line. I choose it because I want my long-term money exposed to companies benefiting from some of the biggest structural trends of the next decade: AI, cloud computing, semiconductors, automation, digital advertising and software. And DCA solves one of my biggest problems as an investor: I do not need to predict every bottom correctly. 🔵 WHY QQQ OVER VOO OR SPY? VOO and SPY are excellent core ETFs. If someone prioritises diversification and smoother compounding, I would happily recommend starting there. But personally, I want more growth exposure. QQQ gives me heavier

Let’s break down what the intraday technical indicators are telling us. 📊 The Technical Setup: Key Indicators at a Glance Moving Averages (MA): MA5 ($74.32): Prices are currently trading above the short-term 5-day moving average, signaling mild short-term bullish momentum.

📊 SGX ($S68.SI$): Base Building at $20.40 or Momentum Trap? 🎯
✨✨✨ After taking a sharp dive from its late-August peak of $25.69 down to $20.41, Singapore Exchange Ltd ($S68.SI$) has quietly spent the past few weeks moving sideways in a tight consolidation zone.

NVDA Earnings Review: Fundamental Highlight, But Market Focuses on Core Debate
NVIDIA enters this earnings review with market expectations already set at an unusually high level. Based on the current-quarter forecast in the provided materials, investors are looking for revenue of $109.17 billion in the current quarter, up 98.77% year over year, EBIT of $71.80 billion, up 99.65% year over year, and EPS of $2.477, up 98.20% year over year. Those numbers imply that the market is not debating whether NVIDIA is still growing fast; it is debating whether the company can sustain near-doubling growth from an already massive base while preserving exceptional profitability. The previous quarter showed why that question matters: revenue reached $96.22 billion, up 105.85% year over year, while gross margin was 74.98% and net margin was 62.03%. For the stock reaction, the core va

1. Basics: Robotaxi Supports Valuation, Cash Flow Is the Test Tesla reports Q3 2026 after the close on Oct 21. The market's focus has shifted from car sales to Robotaxi commercialization, energy growth, and return on AI spending. Deliveries hit 486,532, about 5% above consensus, but the market still needs to see auto margins improve. Robotaxi: The Austin Cybercab fleet grew from about 37 to over 300 in 30 days, and driverless miles passed 1 million. Commercial progress is improving, but utilization, safety, and unit economics still need proof. Autos and FSD: High gas prices make EVs cheaper to run, and North America FSD attach rate is 55%. Future growth depends on regulatory approval and paid conversion. Energy: 2026 storage deployment is expected at 55.2 GWh, with energy gross margin arou
Warren Buffett has spent decades building one of the most complex investment portfolios in the world. $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ owns railroads, insurance companies, fast-food chains and consumer brands. Its operating earnings topped $44.5 billion in fiscal year 2025. His advice to ordinary investors looks nothing like that portfolio. Buffett has repeated the same recommendation for years, and it does not involve picking stocks, timing markets or hiring expensive money managers. In his 2013 letter to Berkshire shareholders, Buffett wrote that his estate’s trustee should put 90% of cash in a very low-cost S&P 500index fund, naming Vanguard specifically. The fund in this instruction is the $Vanguard S&

🌟It is incredibly tempting to chase the 1.21% green day for Nasdaq100 but buying the index right now means you are blindingly absorbing the risks. The Valuation Reality Check: Big Tech is priced for perfection. For example $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$is currently trading at a P/E ratio of over 200x. The Capex Anxiety is Real: The market's main fear isn't that AI demand is weak. It is that tech giants are spending massive amounts of money to build it. Wall Street wants to see exact revenue realisation, not just promises. A Volatility Minefield: Options markets are pricing in massive implied swings this week. Buying
My pick is Micron ($MU). While Nvidia dominates the AI computing narrative, memory could become an equally important bottleneck. AI accelerators need high-bandwidth memory (HBM) to process massive workloads efficiently, making memory availability and pricing critical to the AI supply chain. What makes Micron interesting is its earnings leverage. When supply remains tight and demand grows, stronger pricing can translate into substantial profit growth. However, memory is cyclical: capacity expansion can weaken pricing and compress margins. The key is whether AI demand grows fast enough for Micron to convert it into sustainable cash flow. Nvidia may win the headlines, but Micron could offer greater earnings sensitivity to the memory shortage. My verdict: MU offers an attractive rebound thesi
GTC can strengthen my conviction in Nvidia’s long-term story, but I would still want earnings numbers before becoming significantly more bullish. Jensen Huang’s keynote could provide important signals on the next computing roadmap, AI infrastructure demand, agents and physical AI. However, announcements and partnerships ultimately need to translate into revenue, margins and sustained data-centre growth. The recent pullback being driven by leveraged-position unwinding rather than deteriorating fundamentals would be encouraging, but valuation still matters after Nvidia’s strong run. So I’m watching GTC for the direction of the next growth cycle, while earnings remain the real confirmation. A compelling roadmap may improve sentiment quickly, but numbers showing strong demand and monetisation
I would pick electrical-grid construction for the strongest long-term potential. Semiconductors remain essential to AI, but expectations and valuations are already high, while rapid technology cycles create competitive risk. Power-generation equipment should also benefit, but demand can be more dependent on individual projects and capacity additions. Grid infrastructure looks like a broader bottleneck. AI data centres require enormous amounts of reliable electricity, and that means more substations, transmission lines, transformers and grid connections. Importantly, these investments can benefit not only AI but also electrification and general growth in power demand. Companies such as Quanta Services therefore interest me as a “picks and shovels” approach to the AI build-out. I would stil
My vote: B. Micron ($MU). Nvidia remains the strongest AI leader, but expectations are already extremely high. For a continued rebound, I think Micron offers an interesting combination of HBM growth and a broader memory-cycle recovery. AI servers require significantly more high-performance memory, so expanding HBM demand could support Micron’s revenue and margins. At the same time, stronger DRAM pricing would provide another earnings tailwind beyond HBM alone. The main risk is that memory remains cyclical. If competitors add capacity too aggressively, pricing could weaken again. But if HBM demand stays strong while conventional memory supply remains disciplined, Micron could still have meaningful earnings upside. For rebound potential rather than simply picking the strongest company, my c
I would choose B: Perfect Exit. Buying at the absolute bottom would be amazing, but I do not think a perfect entry is necessary to make a good investment. If the fundamentals are strong, buying reasonably close to the bottom can still produce excellent returns. Knowing the exact top seems far more valuable. It eliminates one of the hardest decisions in investing: deciding when optimism has gone too far. I could let winners run without worrying about selling too early, then exit before the reversal. My worst attempts at market timing usually come from waiting for an even better entry. Sometimes the market rebounds before my target is reached, and I end up buying higher or missing the opportunity altogether. So definitely B for me. I can tolerate an imperfect entry, but give me the perfect
My pick is PTC Therapeutics for the best balance of growth and risk. Belite Bio has an exciting near-term FDA catalyst, while Trevi Therapeutics and COMPASS Pathways could offer substantial long-term upside if their pipelines succeed. However, these opportunities carry greater clinical and regulatory risk. PTC already has commercial products and growing revenue, giving investors clearer fundamentals to evaluate. I would watch whether sales growth translates into stronger margins and cash flow. Belite may have greater short-term upside on a positive FDA decision, but for the most compelling overall investment case, I prefer PTC’s combination of commercial traction and future growth potential.
I believe electrical infrastructure and power generation will become increasingly important as AI data centers expand. Semiconductor companies may capture the initial excitement, but reliable electricity is essential to sustain AI growth. Among the three, I would keep $Quanta(PWR)$ on my watchlist for its exposure to grid expansion, while $Caterpillar(CAT)$ and $Cummins(CMI)$ also offer opportunities in power generation and backup systems. However, I would compare their valuations, earnings growth and cash flow before investing. I remain bullish on the long-term AI theme, but I wi
I would watch earnings delivery first, followed by trading participation and price momentum. Bitcoin's recovery is encouraging, but weaker spot trading volume suggests that market sentiment has not fully translated into stronger business activity for $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ . I think Coinbase has long-term potential as crypto adoption expands and its product offerings diversify. However, higher marketing expenses and earnings volatility remain concerns. The $250 price target is worth considering, but I would not rely on analyst forecasts alone when making investment decisions. For me, confirmation matters more than anticipation. I would look for improving trading volumes, sustainable revenue growth and stronger profitability before becomin
