5 Things I Expect to Rise in July CPI
Five areas could come in hotter when July CPI is released Wednesday: Oil: Crude $WTI Crude Oil - main 2609(CLmain)$ jumped 22% in July as fresh Middle East fighting pushed energy prices higher. Shelter: Rent and owners’ equivalent rent continue to rise month after month. Electricity: Summer cooling demand and growing data-center power consumption are putting upward pressure on utility bills. Auto Insurance: Premiums are still being repriced as repair and replacement costs remain elevated. Food Away From Home: Higher restaurant labor costs continue to push menu prices higher. The Street expects 0.1% headline CPI, 0.3% core CPI, and 3.2% year-over-year inflation. The biggest wildcard remains shelter. If it comes in hotter than expected, the infl

Why I’m Betting on TSLA’s Next Big Run
10 years ago, I was buying $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ at $160 it spiked 2500% to $4000+ $TSLA always does a massive run at this entry point. And its happening again right now. Here's the exact option contract I'm buying: I like Dec 2028 $600 calls for $51, but if you have a small account less than $1000. Choose this one here... June 2027 $600 calls for $12. So just wait a few days and get this one under $10. There's about 10 more of these golden gem plays, Let me know if you want all of them! The most dangerous thing that can happen to your finances is your neighbor getting rich. Here's why: A neighbor wins $1,000 in the lottery and bankruptcies on your block rise 2.4%.

OPEN’s Story vs. Reality: Revenue Collapses, Losses Explode
The $Opendoor Technologies Inc(OPEN)$ gang didn't like me pointing out the company's operational disaster, but the Q2 earnings release were an incredible showing of reality distortion. Management: "Everything Is Up. Except Costs." Reality: Revenue fell 44% and operating loss was over 10x higher than a year ago. And for a company that's "not an iBuyer" they bought 149% more homes than a year ago and have $1.8 billion of inventory in the balance sheet. Ohh, and the stock is down 22% since my tweet. Cults can be great for a good business, but they're detrimental when the business doesn't match the story they tell themselves.

Buy the Dip or Run for the Exit? Navigating the Great Tech Recalibration: Structural Shift or Market Bubble? The past month has delivered a brutal reality check across global equity markets. Investors who spent the early part of the year riding the artificial intelligence narrative are now staring at a sea of red. Macro headwinds, shifting capital allocations, and valuation fatigue have triggered a steep sell-off across key indices. South Korea’s KOSPI Index fell 43.9%, the ChiNext(399006) dropped 27.9%, and while the NASDAQ(.IXIC) declined by a comparatively modest 10.2%, individual semiconductor and high-growth technology tickers suffered disproportionate losses.

$e.l.f. Beauty Inc.(ELF)$ Traded this position for a few years already. Sold it when it was 100+ dollars and made a good profit. Bought back at around 80 and DCA to avg 60 plus. Now the train is heading towards 100+ again. Everyone sleeping on a beauty company and rush towards AI. Why don't look into a company which targets the female market. Even when market crash, females will still want to look and feel good using the power of cosmetics. 🥰

Beyond the "Beat or Miss": Why Singapore REITs Must Reclaim Forward Earnings Guidance
When UI Boustead REIT recently reported its maiden financial results post-listing, the market's initial reaction followed a predictable media script: Net Property Income (NPI) had fallen 4.3% below its prorated IPO forecast. Predictably, short-term observers focused heavily on the variance. Yet a closer look under the hood revealed a remarkably resilient business. Portfolio occupancy improved meaningfully, the Japan assets achieved full committed occupancy, Singapore rental reversions remained firmly positive, property operating expenses came in below budget, and joint venture contributions exceeded expectations by a wide margin. The 4.3% NPI shortfall was driven almost entirely by two macro and operational factors: a weakening Japanese Yen and a minor delay in lease commencement at one Ja

Free Weekly Stock Market Commentary 8/7/2026
By Lawrence G. McMillan A little more than a week ago, the FOMC meeting concluded (on July 29th), and traders were not happy. They sold the market before and after the meeting, closing $SPX that day at 7316. But then a series of events both real and psychological took place that released a buying panic. The net effect of this was that $SPX has broken out to new all- time highs, and has not fallen back below the old highs at 7620. That makes the $SPX chart bullish again, for the first time in a while. Targets are always nebulous things, but this could take $SPX to 8,000 or so. Equity-only put-call ratios have not rolled over to buy signals. As much as $SPX has risen, it has been accompanied by continued buying of puts on stocks. That is for protection most likely. So, even though these put-

Once Rates Peak, Gold and Silver Move First
It wasn’t just tech stocks that rallied this week. Gold, silver and base metals all came roaring back. Gold gained more than 7% for the week and climbed back above $4,300. Silver surged nearly 10% toward $63, while copper returned above $14,000 per ton. To me, the key change is simple: The market is starting to price in the idea that U.S. rates may have already peaked. Payrolls Removed the Biggest Headwind U.S. nonfarm payrolls fell by 23,000 in July, versus expectations for an increase of around 80,000. After the data, expectations for further tightening dropped sharply, while the dollar weakened and Treasury yields moved lower. That matters a lot for gold. The biggest pressure on gold over the past few months was not a lack of safe-haven demand. It was high oil prices, sticky inflation a
TOPI think gold is up because of the repeated interventions in JPYUSD. The yen carry trade could be about to pull back, reducing demand for US stocks. It'll be a repeat of August 2024.

BAD NEWS IS GOOD NEWS FOR STOCKS… UNTIL IT ISN’T
The U.S. economy lost 23,000 jobs in July. Economists were expecting roughly 80,000–95,000 new jobs. And yet… The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ hit a new record high. The Nasdaq jumped 1.3%. Treasury yields fell. So why did Wall Street celebrate a weak jobs report? Because right now, bad economic news is being interpreted as good news for stocks. And that tells us something very important about the market. THE LABOR MARKET JUST SENT A WARNING The July payroll report wasn't simply weaker than expected. It missed expectations by a huge margin. The economy lost 23,000 jobs. Even more concerning: NFP May and June payrolls were revised down by a combined 103,000 jobs. Meanwhile, labor-force participation continues to decline. So beneath the headline unemployment

Tech Plunged 40-57%. Micron -41%, SanDisk -57%, SpaceX -52%. Bargain Hunt or Bubble Burst?
The uncomfortable answer is neither cleanly. What just happened is not a bubble bursting the way 2000 happened, where the underlying businesses were illusions. And it is not a straightforward bargain hunt either, because some of what got priced in at the peak was genuinely ahead of the fundamentals. This is a valuation reset on real businesses, triggered by three separate catalysts converging in 72 hours. 1. Three Catalysts, Not One SanDisk delivered nearly $9 billion in Q4 revenue, a record 84.6% gross margin, and more than $5 billion in adjusted free cash flow. Revenue and earnings both beat estimates. The stock still fell 5.4% on the day and another 7% after hours. The reason was one number: Q1 FY27 revenue guidance came in at $10.3 to $10.8 billion against Street expectations of $11.16

$Apple(AAPL)$ Apple’s stock, after a massive 115% run, is trading at elevated levels that may not be justified by its near-term growth outlook. While the company’s core business and AI initiatives provide long-term support, current valuations are stretched, and a new political spotlight introduces material uncertainty. The risk-reward balance appears tilted to the downside in the near term.
