Wall Street’s UNH Rush: Can It Hit $200 and Beyond This W
$UnitedHealth(UNH)$ Wall Street’s biggest names are betting big on UnitedHealth Group (UNH), with Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway leading the charge alongside Renaissance Technologies, David Tepper’s Appaloosa Management, and Michael Burry’s Scion Asset Management. As of August 19, 2025, UNH closed at $308.49, a stunning 11.98% jump in 24 hours, fueled by these heavyweight investments.

Trading at a P/E of 12, near a decade-low valuation, UNH’s plunge from $630.73 to $234.60 over the past year has sparked a buying frenzy. Can it close above $200 this week, or is t

Nasdaq Crash Nasdaq went down heavy by 1.46% with the recent champions like Nvidia, Palantir and AMD leading the charge down. But was was more alarming was that in the morning they started off rather strongly. What we need-to watch is how the market starts the next session. I expect a continuation but the question is will it reverse later in the day. If it does not, and we see a further substantial drop on the Mag-7's, this may signal a major crash which many have been expecting. Watch especially the high risk stocks like MSTR, Sofi, Circle, BigBear AI, etc. Especially watch Tesla. This may be the time to crash for Tesla as we are starting to see even the Tesla bulls having some doubts with Musk's stories. Note his de
How I Use a Cash Boost Account to Expand My Trading Path 🚀
I really like the Cash Boost Account (CBA) because it gives me the flexibility to trade with leverage in a controlled way. For example, my account is authorized with S$20,000, though this limit can be adjusted higher depending on one’s personal situation. With this facility, I can trade both U.S. and Singapore stocks with 5–6 days of interest-free funding, which provides a useful buffer for short-term trades. $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ One of my favorite approaches is to buy lower-priced bank stocks such as OCBC. With a S$20,000 limit, I can purchase around 1,000 shares. After deducting transaction costs of about S$40, even a small price movement—say, a 20-cent difference—can translate into a very decent profit. This setup allows me to take advan

The impressive Q2 2025 financial results from Xiaomi have certainly reinforced my confidence in the company. With revenue hitting RMB 116 billion and a 30.5% year-on-year increase, it is clear that the company is on a strong upward trajectory. This consistency in surpassing the RMB 100 billion mark for three consecutive quarters speaks volumes about its stability. The adjusted net profit of RMB 10.8 billion, up 75.4% year-on-year, is a standout figure that highlights Xiaomi's profitability. The success of the second electric vehicle launch seems to be a key driver, firing up consumer interest and boosting sales. I find this diversification into the EV market particularly encouraging for future growth. I remain generally bullish on Xiaomi's $XIAOMI-W(
Intel’s $2 Billion Makeover: Can SoftBank Fix What Decades of Competition Couldn’t?

Markets reacted swiftly, with Intel shares rallying on the news and commentators debating whether this is the start of a durable turnaround or simply a transitory booster shot.
