$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ On Wednesday, there will be a Federal Reserve FOMC meeting, which is expected to keep the interest rate unchanged at 4.375%. The market anticipates a 100-basis-point rate cut before the end of the year, likely starting in July.I think there may be brief volatility post-meeting, but the most important factor in the near term remains the tariff negotiations and their outcomes.Speaking of recent volatility, we can't ignore the old saying about U.S. stocks: Sell in May and go away. However, based on the options open interest, this year's "selling in May" seems to specifically refer to options sellers.On Monday, there were two significant long-term large orders in $SPY, reflecting a bearish outlook on the broader market
Surprise, surprise ! Although Mr Buffett has sprung a surprise at recently concluded $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ ‘s 2025 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, officially announcing that he would be stepping down end 2025, marking the end of his 60 years leadership. Of course, he would still be around as chairman to mentor Abel, but the CEO role transition has been cast in stone. Apart from this surprise that will come sooner-or-later, I supposed a part of him died a little, the day that his long-time partners-in-crime, Mr Munger passed on, on 28 Nov 2023. The other surprise of that day was Mr Buffett’s matter-of-fact warning on a possible fading of electric utility companies / stocks. The Electric Company.

On May 7th, Trump's semiconductor tariff is coming, affecting NVDA and AAPL.

🎁Key Resistance Level: Will S&P 500 Break Out or Turn Lower?
The S&P 500 has rebounded to 5,650 points—its level before April’s sharp sell-off and a key technical resistance zone.UBS analysts pointed out in a recent video that the S&P 500 Index typically performs poorly in May, and that the seasonal pattern of “sell in May” still holds.

It finally happened — a 6% drop in Berkshire Hathaway, and suddenly the unthinkable becomes real. After decades of quiet confidence under Warren Buffett’s steady hand, markets are jittery, headlines are swirling, and investors are wondering: is this the beginning of the end for the Oracle’s empire, or is it the best opportunity in years? Let’s break it down. Berkshire’s brand is inseparable from Buffett. His name has stood for trust, prudence, and long-term performance. His annual letters were gospel. His portfolio, a blend of American resilience and business common sense. So when news of his full transition to Greg Abel started circulating, the market reacted—not because Abel is unfit, but because Buffett’s shoes are enormous to fill. It’s emotional. It’s psychological. And yes, it’s a li
