From RMB 7,000 to RMB 10 Million: Niu Lai Goes Viral as Anthropic Prices in 2028
The viral Chinese animated film Niu Lai and Anthropic’s potential mega-IPO may appear completely unrelated, but both reveal the same market behavior: once people believe future attention, revenue and scale will keep expanding, prices can move far ahead of current quality or profits. Hype can create a valuation, but only cash flow can defend it. The Weekend’s Biggest Surprise Was a Movie Called Niu Lai Anyone who spent time on Chinese social media over the weekend probably saw clips or memes about Niu Lai (《牛来》). The animated film opened on August 5 with almost no promotion and only two core creators. After nine days in theaters, it had earned just RMB 7,169, while nationwide daily screenings had fallen to only 21. Then its rough 3D modeling, stiff animation and unusual dialogue started cir

17/08/2026 U.S. equities pulled back slightly from record highs on Friday, as weaker-than-expected retail sales and rising shipping risks in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea weighed on risk sentiment. Meanwhile, the AI theme remains intact, but the market is shifting its focus from “Is there enough demand?” to “How will massive AI infrastructure be financed, powered and delivered?” S&P 500 fell 0.17% to 7,785.76 Dow Jones fell 0.20% to 53,732.41 Nasdaq fell 0.28% to 26,729.16 U.S. 2-Year Treasury yield fell ~5 bps to ~4.15% U.S. 10-Year Treasury yield fell ~5 bps to ~4.63% ⸻ News 1) Strait of Hormuz tensions escalate: U.S. and Iran clash over “control” as shipping nears a standstill * Trump said the U.S. could declare the Strait of Hormuz “U.S. territory” after defeating Iran, esca
Are Asset Rebounds Near an End? How to Trade Bitcoin and Gold’s Key Levels
After the sharp pullback and subsequent rebound in the previous phase, major asset classes have returned to a relatively calm pattern. However, the fact that some assets have stalled should not be viewed as a positive signal. If they fail to extend their rebound or make new highs over the coming weeks, it may indicate that another leg lower is approaching. The first market to watch is crypto, which we have consistently treated as a leading indicator. Although its reference value has deteriorated meaningfully compared with one to two years ago, it has still shown signs of acting as an early mover in the current market cycle. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum rebounded sharply from late June, but have spent the past six weeks hovering near their lower ranges.
Here's my 2030 $NEBIUS(NBIS)$ estimate: -> 5GW capacity is contracted by YE 26 with 1GW capacity to be deployed per year from FY 27. -> Mid-term ACV is ~$20-25M as per management (for reference it used to be ~$12M). So a BULL case model would look something like this: 5.2 GW connected capacity by 2030 on a blended ARR/MW of $14M (that's a realistic haircut on utilization, mix, and timing vs the $20-25M forecasted. 5,200 MW * $14M = $72.8B ARR With EBITDA margins forecasted to stabilize near 45%... we're then looking at ~$32.7B in EBITDA. Bull case multiple: 25x Base case multiple: 18x Bear case multiple: 13x 25x * $32.7B -> $817B 18x * $32.7B -> $588B 13x * $32.7B -> $425B Or go more conservative (which is fair) and
Hello everyone! Today i want to share some trading ideas with you! 1 UBS thinks $SpaceX(SPCX)$ can generate ~$400B of annual revenue and ~$200B of EBIT by 2030 as Starship unlocks the next phase of both connectivity and AI. Flight 14 will be the next major catalyst in a couple of weeks with operational V3 deployment and a potential Ship catch as Elon Musk says the heat shield issue is solved and targets up to 1,000 V3 satellites by 1H27. 2 Stanley Druckenmiller initiated a new $IREN Ltd(IREN)$ position buying 87,100 shares worth ~$4M. Druckenmiller is widely considered one of the greatest investors ever after compounding at ~30% annually for nearly three decades. 3
Hello everyone! Today i want to share some trading ideas with you! 1 $S&P 500(.SPX)$ TRADE PLAN 📈 📉 SPX bullish plan: SPX above 7800 | SPX Aug 19 7850C 📈 T: 7850, 7870 SL 7770 SPX bearish plan: SPX under 7700 | SPX Aug 19 7620P 📉 T: 7620, 7600 SL 7730 SPX ran to 7817 this past week but failed to close above the 7800 resistance. SPX finished up its 8th day of consolidation since FOMC. SPX needs to get through 7800 to set up for a move to 8000 this year. Calls can work above 7800 this upcoming week. If SPX gives up 7700 it can drop to 7620 again. Puts can work under 7700 this month. 2 $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ Trade Idea: Aug 21 1800C Trigger: 1600 ✅ Targets: 1750, 1800 🎯 Sto
🎁Weekly EPS Growth & Dividend Leaders: WMT, HD, NTES, TGT, BEKE and more
😀Hi Tigers, As the Q2 earnings season unfolds, we’re taking a closer look at potential outperformers from two key angles: EPS expectations and dividend performance. In the first part, we highlight the top 20 stocks by market capitalization with stronger EPS estimates ahead of their earnings, scheduled between August 17 and August 21. 🎁Weekly Higher EPS Estimates: WMT, HD, ADI, TJX, DE & More 1. Why EPS Matters? Earnings per share(EPS) refer to the income per share brought to investors/shareholders in the open market. EPS is calculated as a company's profit divided by the outstanding shares of its common stock. The resulting number serves as an indicator of a company's profitability. Investors like companies with high profitability, and the market always rewards those earnings results t
Hello everyone! Today i want to share some trading strategies with you! 1 Am loving $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ Finance. Doing research on a bunch of stocks this evening for potential buys on Monday. First up - $IREN Ltd(IREN)$ - synthesis of Accumulation vs Distribution indicators: The analysis of IREN Ltd across multiple data vectors — options flow, dark pool prints, price action, and institutional filings — converges on a single conclusion: the asset is currently in a state of high-conviction institutional accumulation. This process is driven by the fundamental re-rating of the company as an AI infrastructure player, a transition that has attracted some of the world's most sophis
$Neonode(NEON)$ Neonode is certainly not a stock for conservative investors, but that is also what makes it interesting. At under $1, the company has a relatively small valuation, meaning positive developments can potentially have an outsized impact on the share price. Its optical sensing and touch-related technology gives Neonode exposure to areas such as automotive, industrial applications and human-machine interfaces. The technology itself is interesting, and successful commercialisation or licensing wins could significantly change how the market values the company. The recent weakness in the share price obviously increases the risk, but for investors comfortable with speculative small caps, it also creates a potentially attractive entry
$MARA Holdings(MARA)$ MARA remains one of the more interesting listed stocks for investors who are bullish on Bitcoin and comfortable with substantial volatility. The attraction is straightforward: when Bitcoin enters a strong bullish cycle, major Bitcoin miners can sometimes deliver amplified moves because investors are gaining exposure not only to Bitcoin prices but also to the economics and operating leverage of the mining business. That leverage works both ways, which makes MARA significantly riskier than simply owning Bitcoin. Mining difficulty, energy costs, dilution and Bitcoin volatility all need to be considered. Overall: MARA is definitely high risk, but for investors expecting another major Bitcoin rally, its volatility and
$ProShares Ultra Silver(AGQ)$ AGQ is an interesting instrument for investors who have a strongly bullish view on silver. Because it seeks leveraged daily exposure to silver, a powerful move in the underlying metal can produce very large short-term gains. Silver itself has an attractive long-term story because it combines precious-metal demand with significant industrial uses, including electronics and solar-related applications. However, leverage makes AGQ fundamentally different from simply holding silver. Daily resetting and compounding mean it is better suited to tactical positioning than passive long-term ownership. Overall: For investors expecting a strong silver rally and willing to accept substantial volatility, AGQ provides powe
$APPLIED DIGITAL CORP(APLD)$ Applied Digital sits directly within one of the market's biggest investment themes: the enormous infrastructure requirements created by artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. AI isn't powered only by GPUs. It requires enormous data-centre facilities, electricity, cooling and specialised infrastructure. Applied Digital is attempting to position itself within this rapidly expanding ecosystem. The stock has already attracted substantial investor enthusiasm, meaning expectations are high and volatility can be extreme. Capital requirements are another important consideration. Nevertheless, if AI computing demand continues expanding at anything close to current expectations, infrastructure provid
$Permian Resources Corp(PR)$ Permian Resources is an attractive energy company because of its concentrated position in one of America's most productive oil-producing regions. Its large inventory of drilling locations gives the company substantial operating opportunities while management remains focused on efficiency and shareholder returns. The investment case becomes particularly attractive when oil prices are supportive because stronger commodity prices can translate quickly into higher cash flow. Energy will always be cyclical, but PR combines quality acreage, scale and operational execution better than many smaller producers. Overall: Permian Resources is one of the more interesting US oil producers for investors who remain constructive o
$NEBIUS(NBIS)$ Nebius is a fascinating way to gain exposure to the enormous computing infrastructure requirements behind artificial intelligence. The AI revolution requires far more than software. Training and running increasingly sophisticated models requires GPUs, data centres, networking, electricity and specialised cloud infrastructure — exactly the ecosystem Nebius is targeting. The opportunity is enormous if AI computing demand continues expanding, although the valuation already incorporates significant expectations and the stock can be extremely volatile. Overall: NBIS is certainly not cheap or low risk, but its direct exposure to AI infrastructure makes it one of the more exciting aggressive growth stocks for investors who believe A
$The Metals Company(TMC)$ TMC is one of the market's more unusual critical-minerals opportunities. The company's strategy centres on recovering polymetallic nodules from the deep ocean containing important metals such as nickel, copper, cobalt and manganese. If commercial-scale extraction becomes economically and legally viable, the potential resource opportunity could be substantial, particularly as electrification and energy infrastructure increase demand for critical minerals. But TMC should never be mistaken for an established mining company. Regulatory approval, environmental concerns, financing and commercial execution remain major uncertainties. Overall: TMC offers enormous potential but equally substantial risk. For speculative inves
$MINISO Group Holding Limited(MNSO)$ MINISO has built a remarkably recognisable retail concept around affordable lifestyle products, collectibles and collaborations with popular intellectual properties. Its international expansion is particularly interesting. The company has demonstrated that its retail concept can travel beyond China, giving MINISO a much larger potential market than investors might initially assume. The combination of affordable products, rapidly changing merchandise and popular character collaborations can generate repeat customer traffic. Overall: MNSO is an interesting combination of Chinese consumer growth and international retail expansion. If the brand continues gaining traction globally, there remains meaningf
$IONQ Inc.(IONQ)$ IonQ offers something relatively rare in public markets: direct exposure to the emerging quantum-computing industry. If quantum computers eventually solve commercially important problems that conventional computers struggle with, the addressable opportunity could become enormous across areas such as pharmaceuticals, materials science, optimisation and cybersecurity. But this is still an emerging technology. Investors are valuing IonQ largely on what the company could become rather than today's earnings, making the stock particularly sensitive to expectations. Overall: IONQ is unquestionably speculative, but that's part of its appeal. If quantum computing develops into a major computing platform and IonQ establishes it
