To The Moon

The market dynamics are facing a delicate macro pivot. Following a massive, stronger-than-expected October jobs report (+165,000 payrolls vs. 59,000 expected), are investors and market looking at the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report to be the ultimate make-or-break catalyst for the tech sector? In this article, we would like to share how we go about examining the market setup, inflation scenarios, non-macro headwinds, individual ticker strategies (GOOGL, AMZN, AVGO, AMD, QCOM), and asset allocation ahead of the upcoming CPI report. 1. The Delicate Macro Pivot: Jobs Blowout Meets CPI The broad market environment is confronting a significant re-pricing event. The October employment figures sent shockwaves through fixed income and equity desks alike, printing at +165,000 jobs against an expe

My vote is B: Wait and see. GTA VI has enormous commercial potential, given the franchise’s global popularity and Take-Two’s established monetisation ecosystem. However, a highly anticipated launch does not automatically translate into attractive investment returns, particularly when expectations are already elevated. The quarterly revenue and bookings misses suggest investors are placing considerable weight on future performance. I would prefer to assess actual launch sales, player engagement, recurring spending and management’s updated guidance before committing capital. There is also a risk of a “sell the news” reaction, even if GTA VI performs exceptionally well. A successful game launch and a successful stock investment are not necessarily the same thing. For me, the key question is

I would choose B: Wait and see. GTA VI is clearly a major catalyst, but a great game does not automatically make a great entry price. The bullish case is real: Take-Two says pre-orders are far above initial expectations, and the November 19 launch could reset its revenue trajectory. Yet the market already knows this. The more revealing detail is that management kept FY2027 net bookings guidance at $8.0–$8.2 billion despite the strong pre-order commentary. That suggests executives are unwilling to convert excitement into hard numbers before launch. I would rather see the first sales data, player engagement and evidence that GTA Online can sustain recurring spending. A successful launch may still trigger a “sell the news” reaction if expectations have run too far ahead. My approach: keep TT

$AMD: Shipments have started. Gross margin is the real test. My sell put pick. The two days • Thursday: −17.26% to $404.40 in the AI chip selloff. Intraday low $402.10. • Friday: +11.04% to $449.04 on 45.7M shares, about double the ~22M average. No AMD-specific news; the whole chip sector bounced (SOX +4.2%). • AMD is still 30.9% below its record of $649.42. The topic asks what would confirm this is more than an oversold bounce. My answer goes through all three candidates. 1. MI450 shipments: already happening On the Nov 3 call, management said Q3 was "the first quarter that we shipped MI455 and Helios racks for revenue." Volume shipments went to customers including Anthropic, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI and Oracle. Management also said: "We have a big step up in Q4. We'll continue to ramp thr

Memory stocks are showing signs of recovery, but investors may be getting ahead of themselves if they assume the AI-driven rally is guaranteed to continue. On Friday, Micron gained 4.75%, SanDisk rose 3.57% and SK Hynix advanced 2.78%, reversing some of the previous session’s weakness. The rebound highlights how quickly sentiment can change in the semiconductor sector. However, the bigger question is whether earnings fundamentals can support another leg higher. Three developments deserve attention: high-bandwidth memory (HBM) contracts, enterprise SSD demand and regulatory approvals for expanding production. 1. $Micron Technology(MU)$ : Can HBM demand translate into pricing power? Micron is benefiting from the growing demand for memory used in

The AI memory trade has moved beyond promises. Micron, SanDisk and SK Hynix have now delivered some impressive numbers, providing stronger evidence that demand for memory and storage is growing rapidly. But there is a new question for investors: Are these companies entering a sustainable earnings supercycle, or is the market already pricing in too much optimism? The recent technology sell-off has reminded investors that even companies reporting excellent results are not immune to valuation pressure. The next stage of the memory rally will depend on pricing power, production capacity and how long current demand can last. 1. $Micron Technology(MU)$ :HBM demand is becoming more visible Micron’s September results were particularly encouraging. The

AMD’s 13.26% surge is more than just another impressive trading session. It highlights a potentially important shift in the AI investment landscape. The Google Cloud partnership is particularly interesting. AMD’s EPYC processors supplying CPUs for Google’s TPU systems demonstrate that the AI infrastructure opportunity extends well beyond GPUs. Here’s the bigger investment story: 🔥 1. AI spending is broadening. The winners may not just be GPU manufacturers. CPUs, networking, memory, power and data-centre infrastructure could all benefit. 🔥 2. AMD is strengthening its position. Securing a role in Google’s AI infrastructure ecosystem gives AMD another opportunity to challenge the perception that Nvidia is the only game in town. 🔥 3. The real test is revenue. A partnership announcement is enco

Rocket Lab ($RKLB) just delivered a fascinating set of numbers — and investors have plenty to debate. Revenue came in at approximately $268 million, beating expectations of $260 million. Even more impressive is the enormous $3.57 billion backlog, highlighting the growing demand for launch services and space systems. But there’s a catch. The company reported a larger-than-expected loss of $0.12 per share versus the $0.07 anticipated. Meanwhile, forward guidance of $270–290 million puts the focus firmly on execution. Here’s my investment perspective: 🚀 The Bull Case: * Growing demand for satellite launches and space infrastructure. * A substantial backlog providing future revenue visibility. * Neutron could become a major growth catalyst. * Increasing importance of space infrastructure in th

CoreWeave is approaching a crucial earnings report, and investors are watching closely. As one of the key players in AI cloud infrastructure, CoreWeave has benefited from the explosive demand for GPU computing power. However, strong demand alone does not guarantee strong profitability. The real question is: Can CoreWeave turn its massive AI infrastructure investments into sustainable earnings and free cash flow? 1. AI Infrastructure Demand Remains a Powerful Growth Driver The global AI race is accelerating. Technology giants, AI developers, and enterprises are investing heavily in computing infrastructure to train and deploy increasingly sophisticated AI models. CoreWeave specializes in GPU-accelerated cloud computing, positioning itself as an important infrastructure provider in the AI ec

Technology shares recovered without Nvidia joining in The $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ gained 3.54 per cent on Monday and the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ rose 2.35 per cent. $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ advanced 13.26 per cent, while $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ fell 4.27 per cent. The opposite moves show why stronger AI demand alone cannot explain this rebound: specific deployments, governance and expectations also matter. Memory shares recovered too. Micron, Sandisk and SK hynix gained 6.25 per cent, 6.16 per cent and 5.53 per cent respectively. Investors were willing to buy selected hard

AMD’s 13.26% surge on Monday, November 9, caught investors’ attention, but the more important development may be what happens after the announcement. Google Cloud confirmed that AMD’s EPYC processors will serve as host CPUs for its TPU 8tx systems. This gives AMD a stronger position in Google’s AI infrastructure and highlights an opportunity that investors may have previously overlooked. For much of the AI boom, Nvidia has dominated the conversation. Investors have focused on GPUs, AI accelerators and the enormous spending by hyperscalers to build computing capacity. But AI infrastructure is not built around GPUs alone. As AI systems become larger and more complex, demand for server CPUs, memory, networking and storage also increases. AMD’s Google partnership is a reminder that several com

$Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ selling put option to earn premium but it got exercise. Will do selling call option in next week.

$Ondas Holdings Inc.(ONDS)$ Managed to catch the bounce and exit with some #CaiFanMoney.

$Alibaba(BABA)$ I opened this trade by buying 10 Alibaba shares at US$105.46 each, committing US$1,054.60 before fees. My intention is to establish a small position in a business whose exposure to digital commerce, cloud computing and artificial intelligence interests me, while keeping my initial investment manageable. My investment thesis is that Alibaba could benefit over time if it translates these opportunities into sustainable business growth. I am particularly interested in the connection between AI adoption and demand for cloud services. However, I recognise that technological potential alone does not guarantee stronger earnings or a higher share price. Starting with 10 shares allows me to participate while leaving room to reassess. I

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ A sell down after Jensen Huang's affair is laughable & completely  irrational. Are people going to stop buying his  Chips? NO!! The chips will still sell like  hotcakes! Be logical. This is a bargain and I'm buying more!

Nvidia has become the face of the global AI revolution, but its latest share-price decline shows that even the world’s leading AI chipmaker is not immune to investor concerns. On Monday, November 9, Nvidia (NVDA) fell 4.27% to close at $178.67, losing approximately $190 billion in market value. This happened while the broader US market rebounded and other semiconductor stocks moved higher. AMD, for example, surged 13.26% following its Google Cloud deployment announcement. The pressure on Nvidia comes at a difficult time. The company is facing questions about its corporate governance, CEO Jensen Huang and potential national security implications arising from reports about his alleged relationship with a former Megaspeed executive. A proposed shareholder class-action lawsuit was subsequently

The US stock market staged an impressive rebound on Monday, November 9, but investors are about to face another major test: October inflation data. The Nasdaq-100 ETF (QQQ) jumped 3.54%, while the S&P 500 gained 2.35%. After recent volatility and concerns about the sustainability of the AI trade, the rebound provided some relief to investors. However, not every technology stock participated. Nvidia fell 4.27%, while AMD surged 13.26% following its Google Cloud partnership announcement. This divergence is important. It suggests that investors are becoming more selective rather than simply buying every technology stock. Now attention is turning to the October Consumer Price Index (CPI), due on Tuesday, November 10, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. For investors in New Zealand, that is 2:30 a.m
