$Grab Holdings(GRAB)$ Grab Holdings Inc. (GRAB) Bear Case risks Buying GRAB at $2.71 offered a decent entry margin, but the long-term bear case remains a looming threat to capital preservation. Grab’s core segments—ride-hailing and delivery—operate in hyper-competitive, low-margin markets across Southeast Asia. Structural inflation and rising driver-incentive costs heavily pressure their path to sustained, high-quality profitability. Furthermore, macroeconomic headwinds in regional markets risk dampening consumer discretionary spending, slowing down GMV (Gross Merchandise Volume) growth. While the company has made strides toward GAAP profitability, its reliance on heavy promotional spending to defend market share against agile regional competitor
$Occidental(OXY)$ Another day, another oil headline. Crude keeps proving that nobody really has a handle on where it's going next. What I find interesting about Oxy is how much of the story comes down to one number. When the barrel is strong, the conversation is all about cash flow, buybacks, and paying down debt. When it softens, everyone suddenly gets cautious. Meanwhile, the rest of us just notice it at the pump and in the price of, well, everything. I don't have a big prediction here. Just a reminder that energy stocks are a rollercoaster, and the smartest move might be patience. Curious to see how the next few weeks play out.
$iShares Core S&P 500 ETF(IVV)$ Morning sunlight broke through the thick canopy of leaves, casting dappled patterns of light across the damp forest floor. A gentle breeze carried the crisp scent of pine and fresh soil, whispering through tall trees like an ancient secret. Deep within the woods, a narrow trail twisted around towering oaks, inviting travelers to step into the unknown. Every footstep echoed soft promises of discovery, urging the curious onward past winding streams and quiet meadows. Here, far from the restless commotion of modern life, time seemed to stand completely still, letting nature tell its timeless story to those willing to listen.
$CHROME HLDG CO(901ESC012)$ Wall Street has delivered plenty of scares lately. Alphabet plunged more than 12% in a single session, Amazon tumbled after earnings, and Meta's massive AI spending plans spooked investors. Even Big Tech isn't safe from a Halloween fright!
$UnitedHealth(UNH)$ 15.68% jump in Carvana and double-digit gains in cruise lines and defence stocks make a lively earnings leaderboard. But the biggest one-day winner is not automatically the strongest next-quarter opportunity.
$NIO Inc.(NIO)$ The $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ fell 1.42 per cent on Thursday and the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ declined 0.30 per cent. $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ closed down 4.25 per cent and fell about another 7 per cent after its results. Microsoft slipped just 0.16 per cent, while Meta gained 1.96 per cent. Companies making large AI investments were no longer trading as one group.
$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ is a leading global aerospace manufacturer and launch services provider, best known for its reusable Electron rocket, the second most frequently launched U.S. orbital rocket annually. Beyond launch, the company specializes in space systems, manufacturing spacecraft components, solar panels, and software for major commercial and government missions.
$Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd.(GLXY)$ Bull: Galaxy swung to a $323M net profit from an $85M loss, with adjusted EBITDA of $455M. Digital asset trading volumes rose 12%, the loan book grew 27%, and assets under management and stake reached $10.4B. Helios delivered its first 133MW to CoreWeave, and management targets an $800-850M annualized leasing run rate by end-2027. A $4.9B cash and Treasuries cushion and a new $200M buyback add support. Bear: Much of the profit came from investment valuation gains, so it can reverse with crypto prices. Helios depends heavily on one tenant, CoreWeave, which carries about $35.6B of debt. Shares fell roughly 30% in early October on those worries, and large construction debt adds execution risk.
$MRVL 20261218 195.0 PUT$ Following major tech earnings reports, broader market anxiety grew around whether big tech cloud providers can sustain their high pace of capital expenditures for AI data centers. What a loss here.
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ This is one of my loved stocks that I gave up earlier on. Due to the many reasons that I decide to divert my profits into other stocks as the upside cap is always there. There have been many times that we thought that Tesla can break thru $500 but always dip below $400 mark. I think Tesla is no longer just an EV company if all of you have done your homework. I will invest once it drops back to $330 to $340 mark. This is a good support level indeed.
$NVDA 20261120 215.0 CALL$ 🐱 Blink Fans: How I Made Over US$6,000 Selling Regular NVDA Covered Calls 💰 My strategy is simple: I don’t always need to sell my NVIDIA shares to make money. Sometimes, I let the options market pay me while I continue holding my shares. I have been using regular covered calls on NVIDIA (NVDA) to collect premiums. So far, my cumulative NVDA profit has reached US$6,077.56, according to my trading account. What makes this interesting is that I am not relying entirely on NVIDIA’s share price going up. I am using options premiums to generate additional income. 1️⃣ Why am I making this trade now? 📈 NVIDIA is a fantastic company, but even a strong stock can experience sharp corrections. When NVDA ra
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Big Tech earnings arrived like buses on Wednesday: after days of waiting, Alphabet and Microsoft reported results within hours of each other. But while both companies are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, Wall Street delivered two very different verdicts. The dividing line? Not just how much companies spend on AI, but how effectively they turn that spendin
Thursday was another rough day for the AI trade. The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ dropped -0.3%, while the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ fell -1.4%. Earlier in the week, Semis rallied 3 straight days on $Anthropic(ANT)$ ’s IPO filing. That bounce didn’t last. $Alphabet(GOOG)$ led the way down today (-12.6%). And after the bell, it got even worse. Fed Recap The Fed held rates steady yesterday at 3.75%-4%. On Sunday, I said this would be a pretty boring FOMC, and it mostly was. The 1 wrinkle was the vote. It was 10-2, with Lisa Cook and Beth Hammack both dissenting in favor of a hike. Cook hadn’t dissented once since joining the Fed in 2022. War
The latest selloff has left the market with very different technical setups. Some charts are approaching key support, while others are showing conditions that could favor a short-term relief rally. Here’s what I’m watching: 🔹 $S&P 500(.SPX)$ — 7,668 IS THE LINE TO WATCH The cash open is not expected to be oversold. Price remains comfortably above the lower Bollinger Band, while momentum oscillators are still in neutral territory. A break below 7,668 would cause significant structural damage to the broader trend. 🔹 $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ — OVERSOLD, WITH A GAP ABOVE Today's candle came with massive volume and broke below the lower Bollinger Band. An unfilled overhead gap remains on the chart and could act a
What a roller coaster these past two days with Alphabet (GOOGL)\! The stock had some pretty big moves, and it was definitely an interesting couple of days to watch the market. As someone still relatively new to options trading, I'm learning as I go, and every trade is an experience. This time, I managed to walk away with a **$460 profit\! 🎉** Not a life-changing amount, but definitely a happy moment for me. It's exciting to see a trade work out, especially when I'm still learning and gaining confidence along the way. I'm not an expert trader, just someone exploring the market, making small moves, and enjoying the journey. One trade at a time. Plenty more to learn, and hopefully more little wins ahead\! Sharing this little milestone because I'm happy with the result. 😊 #Alphabet #Google #GO
GOOGL Just Had Its Worst Day Ever — And Revenue Wasn't the Problem
Alphabet just delivered a lesson the market will not forget: in the AI era, growth is no longer enough. Cash flow is the verdict. On Thursday, October 29, Alphabet's Class A shares (GOOGL) plunged 12.64% to $283.82, down $41.07 from Wednesday's $324.89 close. It was the stock's worst single day on record, wiping out roughly $500 billion in market value in one session. The sell-off did not stop there: GOOGL fell another 1.4% on Friday to $279.84. And here is the twist that makes this story worth discussing: the quarter itself was not weak. What Alphabet Actually Reported Third-quarter revenue rose 25% year over year to $127.58 billion. Google Cloud was the standout, with revenue jumping 103% to $30.71 billion. Search revenue grew 12% to $63.35 billion, and operating income rose 30% to $40.6
AMD fell 10.9% on Friday. After the drop, its options price an earnings move of ±8.8%.
$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ $AppLovin Corporation(APP)$ That matters to anyone holding options through Tuesday's report. The one-day drop was bigger than the whole priced earnings move. Here is how I read it, and how you can check the same thing on any stock. WHY AMD FELL The driver was the chip sector, not AMD's own news. The chip index fell 7.2% on the day, and its members repriced together. Intel set it off. Its own release guided fourth-quarter revenue to $15.0B to $16.0B, against an LSEG consensus of $17.07B. Intel closed down 28.6% on the day. WHAT THE OPTIONS DID So the options market r
Yesterday, I shared the $E-mini Nasdaq 100 - main 2612(NQmain)$ chart highlighting major technical cracks across the tape. The sharp bearish reaction to Amazon’s earnings reinforced a high probability of holding Thursday night’s breakdown formation at the very least. Today’s selloff comes as no surprise: while the flush could have extended into next week, the directional bias was south following last night’s close. The broader short setup began taking shape on Tuesday after indecisive price action printed a series of lower highs that again, I posted in my daily note. While Wednesday traded relatively neutral, corporate earnings served as the downside catalyst after the bell, just as noted on Tuesday when highlighted that rate hike probabilitie
