Hims & Hers: The Stock the Market Loves and Wall Street Doesn't
One share price, two completely different stories I rarely see a stock where Wall Street and the market appear to be reading entirely different scripts. Hims & Hers Health trades around $33, yet the consensus target from 13 analysts sits between $28 and $30, implying roughly 13% downside. At the bullish end, Canaccord Genuity recently lifted its target to $40. At the bearish end, one analyst believes the shares are worth just $21. That's a spread of more than 90% between the highest and lowest targets, and it tells me one thing above all else: nobody can agree what this business is actually worth. The market and Wall Street rarely disagree this dramatically. Perhaps the market still knows something analysts don't. Or perhaps investors have simply fallen in love with a compelling narrat

U.S.โIran War Reignites and Risk Returns: Is Now the Time to Buy Gold?
After last week's CPI print, inflation expectations eased slightly, while the U.S.โIran conflict flared up again and the previously-open strait was once more suspended. That said, this kind of escalation seems to occur almost every weekend, and by the time financial markets open it is quickly shrugged offโso I would not advise anyone to be overly anxious; wait until the market opens and it will speak for itself. Faced with this kind of murky, hard-to-read news flow, the best trading approach is to consider the technical indicators alone, and then set the corresponding strategy based on those indicators.

Is the Tech Slump Only Just Beginning? Reading the Signal from Japan and Korea
The global tech-stock sell-off has now run for more than three weeks, and most markets have pulled back to varying degrees. Among them, the sharply-corrected Korean market has even slipped into a technical bear.

The valuation debate over tech stocks (AI-related) has raged for a long time, and trying to read it from a purely fundamental angle only ends in a dialogue of the deaf. Optimists believe the AI revolution will ultimately arrive; pessimists are convinced the bursting of the bubble is only a matter of time. In truth, for a trader, who is right or wrong is not the pointโthe point is which moment
