$Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares(TSLL)$ is in free fall. I would say a probable bottom is 19-20 range. This is a quite volatile stock as it is linked to $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Tesla has a great potential with robo taxi and optimus robot. Also, great dangers such as Elon's political haters and enemies, Elon's DOGE role being a distraction, and a possible fallout of the relationship with DJT. The current bearish market is not helping either. This makes this a high risk - high reward stock. I have a few hundreds of TSLL and it seems a long position at the moment. I have a hedge in place with a LEAP short CALL to cover 25% down turn. But this may slip below the break-even. Hopef

DeepSeek is an AI Sputnik Moment – What’s Next for Nvidia and Other AI Stocks?
DeepSeek is seen as AI’s Sputnik moment—just as the USSR's 1957 Sputnik launch caught the U.S. off guard, China's AI startup DeepSeek appears to have shaken U.S. AI dominance. DeepSeek has disrupted the U.S. AI sector by achieving comparable performance at a fraction of the cost of its American counterparts. Does DeepSeek’s R1 Really Cost So Little? DeepSeek claims that training its R1 model required only $5.6 million and 2,048 Nvidia H800 GPUs—approximately 3% to 5% of OpenAI’s estimated cost for GPT. While DeepSeek attributes its cost efficiency to new techniques in reinforcement learning, some speculate it may have also leveraged unauthorized model distillation. DeepSeek's actual costs are likely much higher than its claims. Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang stated in a CNBC interview t

Citi Expects Gold to Hit $3,000: Will You Jump In Now?
Citi recently stated that gold prices could reach an impressive $3,000 per ounce, driven by a combination of factors such as tariff risks and strong demand from central banks. This projection comes after a strong gold rally that has already seen the price rise by 10% this year, surpassing Citi's previous three-month target of $2,800 per ounce. As a result, Citi has updated its short-term price target to $3,000 per ounce, keeping its longer-term forecast (6-12 months) consistent with the same target. But what does this mean for investors considering jumping into the gold market, either through physical gold or gold stocks? Is now the right time, or should you wait for a better entry point? Why Gold Is Rising? Several factors are driving gold prices higher in 2025, with tariff risks and cent
Earnings Season: Which Stocks Are Worth Chasing After Beats?
As the busy earnings season continues this week, investors are watching closely as several growth stocks post impressive results. Companies like AFRM, FTNF, NET, PINS, and PTON have all surged more than 10% in a single day after reporting better-than-expected earnings. These kinds of beats often lead to market excitement, but the question remains: are these stocks worth chasing after such dramatic price movements? Personally, I believe in a disciplined investment approach, and that means not chasing stocks after they experience big earnings-driven surges. While it can be tempting to hop on the bandwagon when you see a stock’s price soaring, I prefer to stick to my strategy of buying low and selling high—rather than chasing stocks that have already surged, hoping for more gains. After all,
