$Strategy(MSTR)$ I originally wrote this article on 21st Feb 2025 when Bitcoin price hovered at $99,118.00, since then Bitcoin has retraced to $79,501, a drop of approximately 25% from it’s all time high of $108,786. Let’s delve into Bitcoin’s rise and fall. From the depths of the 2008 financial crisis, a revolutionary idea emerged. A mysterious figure, known only as Satoshi Nakamoto, introduced Bitcoin to the world. It promised a decentralized future, free from the control of governments and institutions. Deep within its code, Satoshi Nakamoto embedded a message- "Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.” This act was a profound statement, revealing the core of Satoshi's vision. Bitcoin wasn't just about creating a new currenc

On Thursday, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released revised data for the fourth quarter, indicating that the annualized quarter-on-quarter growth rate of real GDP was 2.3%, unchanged from the initial estimate. While this represents a slowdown compared to previous quarters, it underscores the resilience of the U.S. economy.图片Meanwhile, inflation data presents a less optimistic picture. The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index—which excludes volatile food and energy prices—showed an annualized growth rate of 2.7% for the fourth quarter, revised upward from the previously reported 2.5%.图片Durable Goods Orders Surge in JanuaryIn addition, stronger-than-expected growth in the transportation sector propelled a sharp incre
Nvidia Earnings Priced In: How Will Stock Move? $NVDA$
Alright, Tiger—let’s break down Nvidia’s( $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ ) latest Q4 report and what it means for the stock. The numbers are in, and while the results were robust, they might already be priced into the market. Here’s the rundown: Q4 Performance at a Glance Revenue: $39.33 billion, up 78% YoY and 12% QoQ Net Profit: $22.09 billion, growing 80% YoY and 14% QoQ These figures highlight a strong quarter, reflecting Nvidia’s dominant position in the semiconductor space. Yet, despite the impressive growth, the earnings weren’t as explosive as some might have expected. Blackwell’s Impact: A Rapid Ramp-Up A key highlight this quarter was Nvidia’s highly anticipated Blackwell product lineup. Blackwell Revenue Contribution: $11 billi
Why Tesla Is a High-Risk Investment in 2025 As of February 28, 2025 1. Alarming Valuation Metrics * P/E Ratio : 138.2x (TTM) — more than 6x the S &P 500 average — signals extreme overvaluation relative to earnings ($2.04 EPS). * Price-to-Sales : 9.28x and Price-to-Book : 12.44x — far above industry norms, reflecting speculative optimism rather than fundamentals. * Market Cap: $906.9B, despite a 30% YTD decline, raises sustainability concerns. 2. Growth Stagnation and Competitive Pressures * Declining Sales: January 2025 EV registrations in Europe fell 45% YoY, while Chinese deliveries dropped 11%. BYD and Volkswagen are gaining market share. * Questionable Guidance: Tesla’s 20-30% 2025 growth target clashes with recent performance; FY 2024 revenue grew just 1%, and EBITDA fell 4%. 3.

Why Alibaba Was Shaky Despite Strong Top Segment Earnings Performance
China's Amazon equivalent (and a lot more), Alibaba Group Holding Limited ($Alibaba(BABA)$) is dual listed as an "American Depositary Share" in U.S. bourses and as a stock ($BABA-W(09988)$) in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX). The company's earnings release on the 20th of February marked the first three quarters ("9M") for its Fiscal Year 2025 (FY 2025). The resulting effect on the two tickers is fascinating: on the 20th, the U.S. ticker rose by 8% while the HKEX ticker fell by 3% over the previous day's close. On the 21st, both tickers rose by 6% and 15% respectively. On the 22nd, they fell by 10% and 2% respectively. This form of performance imputed on a high-conviction mega-stock clearly
$MSTR DIAGONAL 250228/250321 PUT 300.0/PUT 295.0$ MSTR: rolled these expiring sold puts with strike at $300 out by 3 weeks to 21st Mar and lowered strike to $295 to buy more time. As of trade setup, MSTR was hovering around $250 and these sold puts with deep in the money by $50 and will very likely get assigned at expiry and also risk being exercised early by the counter party because of how much MSTR had fallen. Decided to proactively manage the risk and push out 1 time to allow MSTR to bounce if possible. Flip side of this decision is that MSTR could continue to weaken alongside BTC and the paper loss will be even more. Anyway, it's a trade that was already
