๐๐๐Michael Burry of Big Short fame is back in the news. This time his warning of a potential Bitcoin crisis, lands squarely on $Strategy(MSTR)$ . MSTR reports its earnings on February 5. This isn't just another quarterly update. It is a referendum on the entire Bitcoin as a corporate strategy thing. The timing comes at a time when Bitcoin has dropped by 40% from its all time high in October 2025. MSTR isn't a software company anymore. It is a leveraged Bitcoin amplifier. Today's earnings will reveal whether that empire is built in conviction or whether the balance sheet is starting to feel the strain of being tied to Bitcoin's movement. If Bitcoin holds steady , Michael Saylor's narrative strengthens. If
๐๐๐If you are bullish on $Alphabet(GOOG)$ but want a discount, a Cash Secured Put is a good options strategy. The Set Up: Sell a put at a strike price slightly below the current price. Collect premium. If the stock dips, you get assigned at a cheaper level. If it does not , you pocket the premium. Why it works for Google: Google rarely collapses post earnings unless something catastrophic happens. Its fundamentals are fortress level. Selling puts lets you monetise that stability. This is a strategy that says "I love you Alphabet but I would love you even more at a 3 to 5% discount." @Tiger_comments @Tiger_SG
๐๐๐Walmart $Wal-Mart(WMT)$ recent ascent to USD 1 trillion market capitalisation, proves that in an age of digitalisation, physical scale is the ultimate superpower. No Agentic AI can replicate the sheer physical grit of 5,000 stores or the complex machinery of global fulfilment. By using its massive footprint into high velocity AI hubs & a high margin advertising juggernaut, Walmart has successfully shed its old retail skin to become a tech powered titan. Walmart isn't just selling groceries anymore. It is selling an automated hyper efficient future where logistics is the new software. While the SaaS sector may tremble, Walmart's trillion dollar milestone is an achievement that the late great Sam Walton, Founder would be proud of
๐๐๐The market is currently witnessing a fundamental shift as the traditional software sector faces a decoupling from the new AI driven economy. Mid tier companies like AppLovin and Unity are struggling against the "death loop" created by generative AI tools like Anthropic's Claude. Claude is increasingly automating mid level knowledge workflows. The reasoning is that if a software only automates a workflow that an AI agent can do it for free, the business model is walking the plank. However $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ is gaining traction because it isn't just a tool. Palantir is the operating system for the AI era. While others are being replaced by AI, Palantir's AIP or Artificial Intelligence Platform
๐๐๐My answer is B) Keppel $Keppel(BN4.SI)$ - Keppel has officially traded its hard hat for a silicon cape & the market is absolutely loving in! By pivoting from traditional assets into a high octane AI infrastructure powerhouse, Keppel is rewriting its entire DNA. With the Bifrost subsea cable narrative acting as a massive digital tailwind, Keppel is primed for a major re rating. Keppel isn't just a Buy. It is a front row seat to the future of Singapore's digital economy & the bulls are already charging!๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ @Tiger_SG @Tiger_comments @TigerStars </
๐๐๐I am most bullish on AI & Semiconductors because this isn't a theme anymore. It is the bloodstream of the entire global economy. Every industry - Finance, Healthcare, EVs, Defence , Consumer Tech - runs on silicon & compute. 2026 is shaping up to be the year where: AI models get bigger, hungrier & more expensive. Data centers explode in capacity. Chip supply chains tighten. Companies that build the picks & shovels of this AI Gold Rush become the winners. This is the one sector where demand isn't just strong. It is insatiable. Let's be honest - AI & semiconductors are the only sector where companies can say "We are raising Capex by another USD20 billion" & investors say "Great job". If every other sector tries that, the market faints like a Victorian
๐๐๐The market has been behaving like a kid with ADHD lately - bouncing off the walls one day, & sulking the next day. But amid this chaos, $Alphabet(GOOG)$ is reporting its Q4 26 earnings on Feb 4. Google Cloud is the centerpiece this quarter. Investors want to see whether AI workloads - Gemini integration, enterprise adoption and TPU powered training are showing up as visible revenue acceleration. If Cloud growth ticks up, Alphabet 's recent re rating looks justified. If Cloud growth stalls, the market may throw a tantrum. This is the moment where AI hype must become AI dollars. Search is still the profit engine. But AI answers cost more to serve & competition is louder than ever. Can Gemini defend margins while keepin
๐๐๐This isn't a story about Microsoft vs Palantir. It is a story about fear vs conviction. Fear says AI will replace everything. Conviction says AI will elevate the companies closest to real world complexity. Microsoft stumbled but it is still a titan. Palantir surged because it doesn't just sell software. It sells decision systems - the kind that hospitals, military, energy grids, supply chains and governments need. @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @TigerClub @CaptainTiger @Tiger_SG
๐๐๐Rebound or Reversal for Gold & Silver? In the short term this is a rebound, a reflex action after a brutal sell off for Gold & Silver. The nomination of Kevin Warsh is still subject to approval from the US Banking Committee. He is an unknown element. In the past, he is considered a hawk when he was in the Fed. However he may change his stance to be dovish as Trump wants interest rate cut to be as low as 1%. Whether Kevin Warsh is a hawk or dove, the US is still running trillion dollar deficits year after year. The US is on track to pay over USD 1 trillion per year in interest alone. In FY 2025, interest payments reached USD 970 billion. This environment is historically bullish for Gold and Silver. Gold and Silver are n
๐๐๐Bitcoin below USD 80k: Dead Cat or Trend Reset? The bearish case - Dead Cat Bounce: The primary trend for Bitcoin remains bearish after a 40% decline from its October 25 all time high. Technical indicators show that Bitcoin must reclaim the USD 80k psychological level & then the USD 110k mark which is the 200 day moving average, in order to confirm a structural recovery. The Bullish Case: Trend Reset : Some analysts maintain a long term target of USD 110k to USD 150k by later in 2026. They argue the current correction has cleared out excess leverage with over USD 2.5 billion in liquidations recently flushing out weak hands. My Verdict : A Dead Cat Bounce @Tiger_comments
๐๐๐AMD $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ is currently experiencing a post earnings volatility crush. Despite reporting record revenue of USD 10.3 billion and beating EPS estimates at USD 1.53, AMD shares fell 5.75% in the after hours trading due to a projected revenue decline for Q1 2026. For those traders who believe in Lisa Su's 55% gross margin guidance and server CPU sell out through 2026 will lead to a swift rebound , a Bull Call Spread is more effective than buying outright calls during a volatility crush. Set Up: Buy a USD 230 Call and sell a USD 250 call. This caps your upside but significantly lowers your break even point. @Tiger_comments
๐๐๐The historic flash crash on January 30 26 saw Gold falling by 12% and Silver plummeting by 35%. However both Gold and Silver have now entered a rebound phase as of February 4 26. Spot Gold has recovered by 6% while Silver has bounced by 8 to 10% from its lows. It is tempting to FOMO into the rebound because you may have missed the bottom but the smartest move right now is neutral to bullish positioning. Use the diagonal call spread to stay in the game with limited risk. It is your stay in the market insurance policy. It allows you to maintain bullish exposure while hedging against the gut wrenching volatility often seen in $SPDR Gold ETF(GLD)$ and $iShares Silver Trust(SLV)$ Gold &a
๐๐๐While Project Vault provides a massive USD 12 billion financial safety net for US rare earth companies, it is only an insurance policy, not an immediate production switch. The US currently has some of the longest mine development timelines in the world. Meanwhile Chinese giants like $China Northern Rare Earth(Group)High-Tech Co.,Ltd.(600111)$ $CHINA RAREEARTH(00769)$ & $JLMAG(06680)$ still control the immediate supply that US manufacturers need today. China
๐๐๐The official launch of Project Vault in the US, a USD 12 billion strategic critical mineral reserve, has triggered significant bullish sentiments for US rare earth and critical mineral stocks. Domestic mining & processing companies are the primary beneficiaries, as the program establishes a massive government backed buyer to provide price floors & demand stability. $USA Rare Earth Inc.(USAR)$ surged 17% on Tuesday trading. Other US peers saw immediate gains too. $MP Materials Corp.(MP)$ rose 4%. $Energy Fuels(UUUU)$ skyrocketed 15.6% as the project w
๐๐๐ Alphabet $Alphabet(GOOG)$ vs Amazon $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ Who will win? The competition between the 2 "A"s in Mag 7 is one focused on margins & monetisation. Alphabet has a tactical advantage as an "AI first" company. It has a 32% net profit margins and a large cash reserve, allowing it to innovate. Amazon is the leader in infrastructure but its more than USD 400 billion capex for AWS & logistics is affecting its free cash flow, which dropped 69% recently. Alphabet can turn Gemini AI into advertising revenue. Amazon must show that its spending won't reduce profits. The Verdict Alphabet has superior margins while Amazon is building a large logistics & cloud empire that is expen
Can AMD, SMCI, QCOM & ARM strike back to outrun their Memory peers? AMD: The Measured Retreat:DROP Despite a beat & raise performance from Lisa Su, AMD faces the classic perfection problem. After a massive runup, the bar was set so high it requires a miracle to clear it. Expect a slight pullback as AMD catches its breath. SMCI: The Volatile Rebound: JUMP After a brutal year of margin anxiety, SMCI is finally showing that Volume is King. With AI server demand still insatiable, any sign of fiscal discipline will send SMCI back toward the stratosphere. QCOM: The Gravity Check: DROP Qualcomm is currently fighting a 2 front war: stagnating mobile phone sales & a transition to AI PCs. Unless QCOM reveal a surprise strategy, gravity may win this round. ARM: T
๐๐๐I believe that $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ will have an increase not exceeding 5% tomorrow. AMD's 4.03% gain to close at USD 246.27 on February 2, shows that the market is positioning it for a strong earnings report. The current price action reflects strong institutional confidence in AMD's Data Centre and AI accelerator segments. Investors are effectively "buying the rumour" of a data centre surge but the 5% threshold remains a psychological and technical ceiling until the official Q4 results provide the catalyst required to justify a more aggressive rally. I would be keen to find out what CEO Lisa Su has to say on AMD's road map for 2026 and its lofty target of capturing double digit AI market share.
๐๐๐ Congratulations @Aaron_Hy for achieving the million dollar landmark which much of us can only dream of. Thank you for sharing your investing journey and your strategies to make winning trades. Congratulations on winning big on $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ and $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ this year.๐๐๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ The lesson I learnt is to be disciplined and continuous learning and research. May 2026 be another phenomenal year for @Aaron_Hy ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ
๐๐๐January Barometer : Bullish Finish or Q1 Deja Vu? The January Barometer says: As goes January , so goes the year. But markets don't care about folklore. They care about earnings, liquidity and macro headlines. Last year's Q1 pullback was a reminder that early year optimism can evaporate faster than a New Year 's resolution. Could 2026 repeat that pattern? Absolutely. Could it also rebound into a bullish finish? Also absolutely. January didn't give us a prophecy. It gave us a warning - the kind that says "Handle with emotional discipline". But here is the truth: One month in a time capsule means nothing. Not when investing is about compounding, patience and refusing to let short term drama interrupt our long term destiny.
๐๐๐Gold & Silver: A Deep Dive or a Golden Pit? When precious metals fall, they don't fall politely. They swan dive. But here is the thing : Gold and Silver rarely crash because their fundamentals break. They crash because humans panic , algorithms overreact and liquidity dries up at the worst possible moment. That is why deep dives in Gold and Silver often feel like a Golden Pit - terrifying on the way down but historically rewarding for anyone brave enough to climb in with a shovel and a long term view. If you believe in Gold and Silver as insurance against human overreaction , then January's drop looks less like danger and more like a big sale. I am ready to climb in with my shovel and start digging in to find my Golden Pit. My future self will thank me
