To The Moon

A large percentage of the Asymmetric Portfolio is invested in companies that could have major tailwinds from autonomous driving. My thesis is that many companies will make autonomous vehicles, leading to the modularization of components and technology, and aggregators like $Uber(UBER)$ ( ▼ 0.26% ) and $Lyft, Inc.(LYFT)$ ( ▼ 3.24% ) being huge winners as supply is commoditized. The view of a more autonomous future is consistent with many investors, but how I envision that future is very different. The market still thinks that $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ ( ▼ 5.92% ) — who first promised Teslas could soon drive across the country fully autonomously in January 2016 — will d

I began investing and trading with real dedication and discipline in 2016. That is already 10 years ago, when I started buying stocks the way many people do: reading the news, trying to build a bullish case with fundamentals, and listening to expert opinions. I always liked candlesticks as a visual representation of price action, and back then, I studied several books on the subject. Because no single technical indicator works in isolation, I learned about oscillators (Stochastic, RSI), Bollinger Bands, moving averages, and measuring my performance against the SPX. Back then, I focused heavily on the FAANGs (if you remember that acronym, congratulations; staying in this arena this long puts you far above the average investor or trader: $Meta Platforms

Disclaimer: Nothing I say or post should be considered financial advice. Please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions. $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$   I am pretty sure a handful of people have traded TSLA based on its cylical event yesterday, announcement of its cybercab roll out in Austin, Texas. However, do align your rationale and conviction accordingly. You are trading based on a single cylical move, and not based on a mid - long term outlook, or taking into account the intrinsic value of TSLA.  I do not condone or disagree with trading during a cylical event, but you have to make your reasons of entry clear so that it is not conluded with other belief systems u have. No smoke and mirr

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$   Tesla's Cybercab finally crossed an important line this week. It stopped being a presentation. Real Cybercabs are carrying real passengers in Austin, without steering wheels or pedals. Tesla had 45 Cybercabs registered in Texas as of Friday morning, and the stock initially celebrated, jumping 5.42%. Then reality arrived. The shares gave back the enthusiasm, and US regulators opened an audit examining roughly 1,000 Cybercabs and the technical basis Tesla used to certify that the vehicles comply with federal safety standards. That sequence tells us almost everything about the Tesla trade right now. The technology has moved forward. The valuation has moved much further. 45 Cars Matter More Th

$Micron Technology(MU)$   Memory stocks finally pulled back. Micron fell 2.64%. SanDisk lost 1.90%. SK Hynix dropped 2.31%. Normally, after the extraordinary memory rally we have seen, I would call that healthy profit-taking. This time I would not dismiss it so quickly. A new variable has entered the memory thesis: production risk. Unions representing nearly 10,000 Micron workers in Taiwan are threatening strike action over bonuses and profit-sharing. That matters because Taiwan is not peripheral to Micron's business. It is one of the company's most important manufacturing hubs. Until now, the biggest debate around MU has been: How high can memory prices go? The question may temporarily become: How much memory can

If I had to pick just one, I’d go with $SNOW. BE has the cleaner technical breakout, while HOOD, COIN and MSTR could deliver bigger gains if Bitcoin keeps climbing. But SNOW is the setup I find most convincing because the fundamentals are catching up with the price. Product revenue grew 37% YoY to $1.49B, and management raised FY2027 guidance to $6.07B. More importantly, AI is driving increasing customer consumption, suggesting this isn’t simply another AI-fueled valuation story. Still, a 16%+ one-day rally means expectations are now elevated. I wouldn’t chase the spike. I’d rather wait for consolidation or a pullback and see whether the earnings gap becomes a new support zone. My choice: SNOW. Not the fastest horse, but arguably the one with the strongest evidence behind its breakout.

I’d pick C. Both. The bigger opportunity isn’t MBS taking market share from RWS, but Singapore growing the entire tourism pie. MBS’s US$8 billion expansion is a major bet on luxury tourism, concerts and MICE. Its 15,000-seat arena could attract more global acts and overseas visitors, boosting spending across hotels, restaurants, retail and entertainment. Meanwhile, Genting Singapore’s RWS 2.0 provides its own growth catalyst through expanded attractions and hospitality. If both projects succeed, Singapore could create a powerful cycle: better attractions bring more tourists, while bigger events drive higher-value spending. By 2031, the real winner may be Singapore itself. For investors, however, I’d focus on ROIC, visitor growth, gaming revenue and valuation. A bigger tourism market is bu

Chart #12 probably hits hardest: losses are mathematically brutal. A 50% drawdown requires a 100% gain just to get back to where you started. That’s why avoiding permanent capital destruction matters more than chasing every hot trade. But Chart #14 is the bigger lesson for me: time is an investor’s greatest advantage. Compounding rewards those who start early, keep adding, and resist the temptation to constantly interfere. The market will always offer reasons to panic at the bottom and feel invincible near the top. The real edge is staying rational when everyone else is emotional. I’d rather own a few businesses with durable moats, strong ROIC and long reinvestment runways than constantly rotate into whatever is trending. Investing isn’t about being right every quarter. It’s about survivi

🌟Wall Street just got hit by a massive economic curve ball.  The highly anticipated August Non Farm Payrolls data was just released today. While the consensus was braced for a modest 53,000 to 56,000, the US economy had a staggering 162,000 new jobs!  That is nearly triple the forecast. By any normal logic, a roaring labour market is a cause for celebration, right? Wrong.  Welcome to the upside down world of macro economic trading where Good News is Bad News! Wall Street realised that the Federal Reserve no longer has any incentive to hand out aggressive interest rate cuts at its policy meeting later this month. What should investors do? With Nasdaq 100 close to its all time high, the risk of buying at the peak is incredibly high. Instead of playing the guessing game, why n

🌟🌟🌟Fed Governor Waller started a fire in the market with a single sentence: Give disinflation a chance & Bitcoin rockets past USD 81,200.  The trading desks go wild & crypto stocks start pulling off double digit spikes like the party is never going to end.  Then just 1 day later, a monster jobs report drops, rate cut hopes evaporate and the entire crypto sector slides right back down. If you are wondering whether to buy crypto stocks or just stick to $iShares Bitcoin Trust(IBIT)$ the answer is obvious: Stop buying the side show & just buy the underlying real estate. When you buy crypto stocks like $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ or $Strategy(M

🌟🌟🌟My response is C:  Both Marina Bay Sands $Las Vegas Sands(LVS)$ & $Genting Sing(G13.SI)$ can benefit from bigger tourism market. Singapore is not treating this as a zero sum cage match between 2 competing properties.  Instead the Singapore government is deliberately curating a massive structural tourism expansion to scale the country's global market share. The eye watering USD 8 billion Marina Bay Sands or MBS expansion paired with Genting SGD 6.8 billion RWS 2.0 blueprint is designed to grow the total addressable market of luxury, VIP and high yield event visitors to Singapore. When Singapore introduces the infrastructure to capture massive global music tours, world class exhibitions

table 11. Visa one of my biggest holdings have been quietly compounding while everyone focus are on hyperscalers. Examples from recent data: ~31–34% in 2025/2026 periods; multi-year averages often in the high 20s to low 30s. It comfortably exceeds Visa’s cost of capital (WACC typically estimated around 8%), creating a wide positive spread and substantial economic value. This reflects Visa’s asset-light network business model: enormous operating leverage, high margins (operating margins often ~60%+), strong free cash flow conversion, and limited need for heavy capital reinvestment relative to profits. The global payments network benefits from scale, network effects, brand strength, and high switching costs—classic durable competitive advantages that support ROIC persistence

Mathematical Money | September 6, 2026 Oracle reports Q1 on Thursday. It's an odd setup going in. The stock closed Friday at $153.75, which sounds healthy until you notice it traded as high as $345.72 within the last year. It's 54% off that. And yet Barclays, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan all raised their price targets into this print — Barclays went to $281 from $221, and the average across the top analysts is sitting around $261. So the sell-side thinks it's worth roughly 70% more than it trades, the chart says it's been cut in half, and the print lands Thursday after the close. Consensus is looking for about $19.1 billion of revenue and $1.30 of GAAP EPS. Take your pick which of those you believe. I made my choice last week. Bought three October 2027 $120 calls. How I got here In late Aug

I would trust the hold, but I am not ready to call peak rates yet. Waller has taken some pressure off, but he has not closed the door on another hike. Payrolls around the +56k consensus with wage growth easing to 3.0% would strengthen the case that the Fed can afford to wait. A much stronger jobs print, especially with hotter wages, could quickly revive the hawkish trade. More importantly, Waller himself has made August inflation the key test. So for now: September hold > hike, but peak rates still need confirmation from CPI. I would rather miss the first leg of a rally than price in the end of tightening too early.

I would take Circle for the longer-term thesis, Coinbase for the cleaner cyclical trade, and Strategy only if I specifically wanted amplified Bitcoin exposure. Strategy gives the biggest torque when BTC rallies, but that cuts both ways. At 845,050 BTC, the thesis is increasingly Bitcoin plus financing mechanics rather than an independent operating business. Coinbase is different: it benefits from activity. If $80k brings trading volumes, institutional flows and broader crypto participation back, it does not need Bitcoin itself to double. Circle is the most interesting structurally. USDC already has scale, while the September 16 Arc launch adds another layer to the moat through institutional infrastructure. Visa, Mastercard and BlackRock involvement matters, but the 21-bank stablecoin conso

B: SNOW. It is the breakout I would most want to own after a pullback because the rally has fundamental support, not just momentum. Strong earnings, accelerating product revenue and growing AI adoption give SNOW a clearer path for earnings to catch up with expectations. BE would be my second choice, but after the breakout and S&P 500 catalyst, I would wait for the excitement to cool before entering. I would be cautious with HOOD/COIN/MSTR because much of their near-term upside depends on Bitcoin holding above $80k. MSTR adds another layer of leverage on top of that. I would avoid chasing TSLA. Cybercab is a major milestone, but the valuation already assumes enormous future scale while deployment remains tiny and regulatory risk is unresolved. My ranking: SNOW > BE > crypto baske

Micron closed Friday +6.10% around $1,014, reclaiming the psychologically important $1,000 level while the S&P 500 fell. Like SNDK, MU benefited from Dell's $95B AI-server backlog and expectations for another major jump in memory contract prices. But MU has one additional risk its peers do not: Nearly 10,000 Taiwan workers are threatening strike action. The Taiwan Risk Is Real, But Not Yet a Production Problem More than 80% of surveyed union members reportedly supported strike action over bonuses and profit-sharing. That sounds alarming because Taiwan is critical to Micron's manufacturing footprint. But the distinction matters: No strike has started. Production has not stopped. For now, this remains a labour negotiation. That creates an unusual paradox. If Micron production were disrup

Iggy's Journal: A Small SGX Name With a Big Satellite Partner 5 September 2026, PM Analyst Rating Maybank Research reiterated a BUY call on Addvalue Technologies (A31), unchanged target price 34 cents, based on 30 times FY27 forecast price to sales. The call is built on two new orders totalling US$5.0 million, US$2.8 million for its Inter-Satellite Data Relay System products and US$2.2 million for its Advanced Digital Radio System products, the latter covering both design work and repeat supply to defence-technology customers. Addvalue's reported orderbook now stands at US$20.2 million. The bigger story behind the number is the Viasat partnership. Viasat plans to fold Addvalue's satellite relay terminals into its HaloNet portfolio for US government and government-supplier opportuniti
