$SpaceX(SPCX)$ I actually like that everyone is so bearish. So many people were bearish on Tesla, Apple, Nvidia. The more bearish tags I see, the better I feel about buying. Nothing happens overnight. The longer it takes, the more shares I'll have when it does happen.
$SpaceX(SPCX)$ There's so much negativity. Yes, it's hyped and overvalued. But it's not plummeting, at least not yet. It seems like everyone actually wants to own it, and plenty of big names are willing to back it. Nothing says it can't grow into a significant role eventually, so buying the dips and holding for a while makes sense.
$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares(SOXS)$ I'm not some trading prodigy, but now seems like a decent time to build a short-term position. With SOXL's support levels at 272, 240, and 206, aiming for a cost average of 3.60 or lower makes sense.
$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares(SOXS)$ It seems the worse the company, the more its stock pumps every day. Nvidia, the original player, barely moves at all. Meanwhile, ARM, Intel, AMD and others are making 5-10% back-to-back daily moves like it's nothing. To some extent, Nvidia is the reason the market isn't down even more, which is kind of funny.
$Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ The volatility here is pretty intense, honestly a bit unnerving. I can't help thinking this is more like a consolidation period before the next leg up. $200 seems to be the psychological resistance, but once it holds above that level, I think $250 is the next target. Patience is key.
The optical transceiver market is projected to triple to $36 billion this decade, and $Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ is the smallest-cap company with the biggest potential upside. 800G shipments exploded in 2025, doubling to 24 million units, and TrendForce projects 63 million in 2026—a 2.6x jump. The real story is 1.6T: crossing 1 million units in 2025 and forecasted for over 5 million in 2026. NVIDIA's GB300 racks require 162 modules per cabinet, and Microsoft alone is buying around $3 billion worth. By 2027, 1.6T is expected to dominate, with 3.2T on the horizon. Each new generation drives more module demand, higher revenue, and new upgrade cycles—a staircase of growth for the decade. $Applied Optoe
$Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ The demand for its fiber optic transceivers in data centers continues to be strong, with major customers like Amazon and Oracle driving bookings. Even after the significant gains this year, the long-term thesis rests on AI and cloud infrastructure growth, which supports ongoing demand for high-speed optical connectivity. Short-term volatility can be high, but the structural story remains intact.
$ServiceNow(NOW)$ According to FINRA short volume data for the entire last week (5 trading days), the total number of shorted shares was 39 million, with a total traded volume of 88 million shares. Over 40% of the volume is short, and the smart shorts will cover and book their profits. This isn't a chip or memory stock; it's a heavily beaten-down AI growth stock. My expectation is that it could move back to recent highs within a week. I'm adding more opportunistically. GL!
