Uber's Misunderstood Growth
Don’t be fooled by the market’s reaction; $Uber(UBER)$ ( ▲ 3.36% ) had an outstanding second quarter. Monthly active customers jumped 16%, trips were up 18%, and gross bookings were up 22%. So, if trips and bookings were so strong, why was revenue only up 12.2% (11% on a constant currency basis)? And is that what the market was disappointed by? Part of the answer lies in a contra-revenue charge in the U.K. that I’ll explain below. What’s more important for long-term investors is the operating profit line, which continues to improve. Or you could look at operating and free cash flow, which are both trending higher. By the way, Uber trades for just 14x free cash flow at this point. And despite all of this improvement in operations, Uber’s stock trad

Zillow Feels a Lot Like Spotify Did in 2023
The market still isn't convinced, but the business is quietly improving. $Zillow(Z)$ just delivered 18% revenue growth, despite one of the weakest U.S. housing markets in years. The real story isn't home sales. It's the ecosystem. Residential revenue: +7% Rentals: +31% Mortgages: +75% Rentals are becoming Zillow's biggest growth engine, while its expanding mortgage business is strengthening customer lock-in. Together, they make the platform more valuable even when housing transactions remain sluggish. Meanwhile, management has announced layoffs, suggesting operating leverage could improve as costs come down. This setup feels familiar. Back in 2023, many investors dismissed $Spotify Technology S.A.(SPOT)$ . T

SPY Above 775 or Risk 765?
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ SPY: 770.82 🔴 Major Support: 775 Major Resistance: 780, then 785 Market Structure SPY is trading below the major 775 gamma cluster, putting the market in a more cautious environment. Dealers still have meaningful positive gamma above spot, but until 775 is reclaimed, expect resistance on rallies and higher intraday volatility. Key Levels 🟢 775 – Primary pivot and strongest near-term gamma support/resistance. Reclaiming it shifts control back to bulls. 🟢 780 – First major upside target. Large call positioning makes this the next resistance. 🟢 785 – Strong overhead call wall with heavy positive gamma. Likely profit-taking area if reached. 🔴 770 – Immediate support. Losing this level increases downside pressure. Tradi

Taking a Breather After a Strong Rally
The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ traded in a narrow range, respecting the daily levels shared yesterday. The 7,745 central daily level acted as anticipated resistance signaling weakness since yesterday. From there, the index moved sideways down to the first daily support at 7,697. Energy prices surged today since markets faced a renewed wave of caution as geopolitical negotiations hit temporary stops (as anticipated during the weekend, Geopolitics is the constant question mark in the market today). On the other hand, economic data showed this morning a slight rise in weekly U.S. unemployment claims, tomorrow the July employment report will be released early in the morning. Opening reversals remained a theme today. $Micr

Elon Musk: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Buying Opportunity
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ Friday's nonfarm payrolls data is the big test, but Wednesday's ADP small employment report showed only 44,000 new jobs — missing expectations — which has made the market less certain about a September rate hike. It's not out of the question that SPY could retrace to 760 over the next two weeks. After that pullback, it's expected to remain in a high-level consolidation range. $SK hynix(SKHY)$ All seven storage companies have now reported earnings: Samsung, Hynix, Micron, SNDK, Kioxia, WDC, and STX. There's nothing wrong with the earnings themselves — the only problem is that prices got too expensive and got in the way of the cloud providers. How could a Korean storage comp

$ISRG Up 1.9% Recovery Builds as Bulls Target $380 Breakout
$Intuitive Surgical(ISRG)$ $Intuitive Surgical Inc.(ISRG) Bounces +1.88% to $375.20, Recovery Momentum Building, $380 Pivot in Sight 🔥 Latest Close Data: ISRG closed at $375.20, up +1.88% (+$6.94) on Aug 6, 2026. Volume was 3.28M shares, slightly below average. The stock is well off its 52-week high of $603.88 but has bounced significantly from near $328.57 lows. Core Market Drivers: The recovery is fueled by a shift in analyst sentiment. UBS upgraded ISRG to Buy with a $500 target, suggesting concerns over automation risk and hospital capex are overblown. This follows the post-Q2 sell-off, where Q2 EPS of $2.80 and $2.89B revenue beat estimates, but the maintained annual procedure growth outlook of 13.5%-15.5% disappointed the market. Technical A

$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ Palantir has been one of my highest-conviction AI investments, and I continue to collect shares whenever volatility creates opportunities. While the stock has already delivered impressive gains, I believe its long-term story is still in the early stages as AI adoption expands across both government and commercial customers. What gives me confidence is that Palantir is no longer just an analytics company. Its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) is becoming a core operating system for enterprises looking to deploy AI securely and efficiently. As more organizations move from AI experiments to real-world deployment, I believe Palantir is well positioned to benefit from this multi-year trend. Of course, the va

$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ SOXL remains one of the positions I continue to build because I believe the semiconductor industry is still in the middle of a long-term AI investment cycle. While short-term sentiment can swing sharply, the demand for advanced chips, memory, networking, and AI infrastructure continues to grow, creating opportunities for patient investors. The recent pullback has actually strengthened my conviction rather than weakened it. Corrections are a normal part of every bull market, especially for leveraged ETFs like SOXL. Instead of chasing rallies, I prefer accumulating during periods when fear dominates, as I believe the risk-reward becomes much more attractive after significant declines. I also

8/6 Pre-Market Thoughts: Storage, Gold, and SPCX
One-sentence theme for today: Storage earnings are wrapping up and entering a valuation re-pricing phase; gold is breaking out on rising rate-cut expectations; SPCX faces its first massive lock-up expiry. The common thread across all three: it's not a time to chase highs, but a stage to position cautiously at support levels via Sell Puts. I. Storage Sector: Earnings Behind Us, Entering Valuation Adjustment Phase SanDisk (SNDK): Down ~10.7% pre-market, breaking below the 120-day moving average, with next-quarter revenue guidance below consensus. Western Digital (WDC): Down ~14% pre-market, still holding above the 120-day MA; results fell short of the elevated expectations set by STX's earnings.

$Hyatt(H)$ $Hyatt Hotels (H) Climbs +3.06%: Hospitality Giant Stages Rebound from Oversold Lows, $189 Resistance Eyed 🔥 Latest Close Data: Hyatt closed at $178.91, up +3.06%. The stock is bouncing from recent pressure but remains -13.5% below its 52-week high of $206.86. Core Market Drivers: The recovery follows a sharp post-earnings sell-off triggered by a "sell the news" event despite Q2 EPS of $1.12 crushing estimates.

Sentiment is stabilizing as strong institutional backing (Morgan Stanley raised target to $218) reassures long-term holders.

The stock is rebounding sharply from recent lows but still trades -10.4% below its 52-week high of $170.14.
