$SNOW Is Testing $334 After a Healthy Momentum Reset
$Snowflake(SNOW)$ $Snowflake (SNOW) +0.36% Momentum Builds Near $330, $334 Resistance in Focus 🚀 Latest Close: $330.11 (+0.36%) — just 3.5% below 52-week high of $341.95. Volume came in light at 3.10M shares (0.85). Core Drivers: AI data-platform sentiment remains firm after BTIG lifted its target to $340 and Oppenheimer to $400.

Technical Analysis: MACD histogram is fading (7.67→1.69), showing momentum cooling while still positive. RSI(6) at 65.8 and RSI(12) at 72.0 indicate the stock has exited overbought territory — a healthy reset. KDJ shows K=77.1, D=83.1, J=65.2, h

Why L3Harris’s CEO Removal Tests Whether Its Strategy Is Bigger Than One Executive
$L3Harris Technologies, Inc.(LHX)$ removed Chairman and Chief Executive Christopher Kubasik immediately following a board investigation, creating a governance shock at a defence contractor whose order book and government relationships otherwise remain intact. Chris Kubasik, CEO of L3Harris The event occurred on August 17, although the separation agreement was dated August 16. L3Harris said independent directors, assisted by outside counsel, determined that Kubasik engaged in conduct inconsistent with the company’s code. The company explicitly stated that the matter did not affect financial reporting, internal controls, customers or operational performance.

Why Nvidia’s $105 Billion Guarantee Makes AI Demand Look Less Independent
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$’s agreement to support a vast OpenAI data-centre project demonstrates the extraordinary scale of AI infrastructure demand. It also deepens a question investors can no longer ignore: how much future demand is being enabled financially by the company that ultimately expects to sell the chips? Nvidia announced on August 17 that it would invest $1.5 billion in SoftBank-backed SB Energy and provide up to $105 billion of financial guarantees connected with an Ohio data-centre campus leased by OpenAI. The site is intended to reach as much as eight gigawatts, with an initial 800 megawatts expected in 2028. OpenAI’s lease runs for 20 years, and Nvidia will supply the project’s accelerators. Reuters’ August 17 report describes the financing s

Why Alibaba Is Selling Gaming to Fund a More Focused AI Strategy
$Alibaba(BABA)$’s agreement to sell Lingxi Games reflects a broader portfolio reset. Management is converting non-core assets into financial capacity for cloud computing and artificial intelligence, but divestment alone does not prove that the retained businesses will earn adequate returns on their rising investment. Trustar Capital confirmed on August 17 that it had agreed to acquire $BABA-W(09988)$’s entire Lingxi stake. A person familiar with the transaction told Reuters that proceeds should exceed $2 billion, although the companies did not disclose final terms or a closing timetable.

Why Diana Shipping’s Failed Genco Bid May Be Better for Both Stocks
$Diana Shipping(DSX)$’s withdrawal of its proposed $Genco Shipping & Trading(GNK)$ acquisition ended a nine-month dispute over price and control. Investors rewarded Diana because abandoning an expensive transaction protects its balance sheet, while Genco remains free to pursue its own fleet and capital-return strategy without accepting consideration it considered inadequate. Diana announced after the August 14 close that it had withdrawn an offer comprising $24.80 in cash—adjusted for Genco’s recently declared $0.80 dividend—plus one Diana share valued at $2.54. Diana said Genco’s board demanded consideration worth approximately $36.91 per share, including net-asset value in cash, future dividends and a

Why Copper Has Overtaken Iron Ore at BHP
$BHP Billiton(BHP)$’s full-year results marked a structural change in the world’s largest listed miner: copper generated more operating earnings than iron ore for the first time. That makes BHP increasingly sensitive to electrification and AI-related power investment, but it also concentrates more value in a commodity trading near historically strong levels. BHP reported on August 18 for the year ended June 30. Underlying EBITDA increased 27% to approximately $32.9 billion, underlying attributable profit rose 30% to $13.2 billion and free cash flow increased 83% to $9.8 billion.

🪙 Tiger Coins | Leopold’s Final Portfolio Before Citadel: SNDK and MU Were His Biggest Bets
Leopold Aschenbrenner’s final disclosed portfolio before Citadel took over most of his public-equity positions is out. The biggest surprise is obvious: His top two holdings were not $NVIDIA(NVDA)$, but $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ and $Micron Technology(MU)$. And when you look at the rest of the portfolio, the strategy becomes pretty clear. Leopold was not simply betting on AI chips. He was betting on the entire AI infrastructure buildout. 💾 Storage Was the Biggest Bet His top holdings included: 🥇 $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ 🥈
TOPIf I had to choose one part of the AI infrastructure stack for the next six months, I'd pick memory and storage. The market often treats AI as a GPU story, but that misses what happens behind the scenes. Every new AI cluster requires huge amounts of HBM, DRAM, and enterprise SSDs, while increasingly data-intensive models are creating even more storage demand. That's why $SNDK and $MU stand out to me. Their upside is not simply tied to AI enthusiasm, but to a real hardware bottleneck: memory capacity and pricing. If hyperscalers continue to spend aggressively on AI infrastructure, memory could remain one of the biggest beneficiaries. The key risk is obvious: if AI CapEx slows or new supply arrives too quickly, pricing and margins could reverse. But for the next six months, I'd rather own the "picks and shovels" behind AI than chase the most crowded GPU trade. @Capital_Insights [正经]

NetEase Earnings Preview: Gaming Under Pressure, What Will Drive Growth?
NetEase is set to release its second-quarter earnings report after the Hong Kong market closes on August 20. According to analyst estimates, NetEase's Q2 2026 revenue is expected to reach RMB 29.447 billion, with adjusted EPS estimated at RMB 3.118. In terms of stock performance, NetEase experienced a notable decline at the beginning of the year, before recovering amid volatility from March onward. With the earnings release approaching, market attention is increasingly focused on the performance of its core gaming business and the company's future growth drivers. In terms of revenue structure, NetEase has four major business segments: Games & Related Value-Added Services, Youdao, Cloud Music, and Innovative Businesses and Others. Games & Related Value-Added Services remains the com
TOPThere is one core issue: NetEase’s pace of new game releases has fallen short of expectations in recent years. No matter how resilient its existing titles may be, without new games stepping in to become the next growth drivers, it will be difficult for NetEase’s gaming business to sustain long-term earnings growth. From this perspective, the outlook heading into this earnings report is not particularly optimistic.

🎁What the Tigers Say | Gold, Bitcoin & Stocks: Can the Rebound Last?
Hi Tigers 🐯, Welcome to "What the Tigers say." 👋 From crypto to precious metals to U.S. indices, markets are coiling at critical technical levels this week. $Bitcoin(BTC.USD.CC)$ is pinned between $57,800 and $67,000 after six weeks of stalled rebound, $Gold.com(GOLD)$ has ripped $300 higher on a violent short squeeze, and the post-payrolls landscape is keeping equity sentiment constructive but range-bound as traders await the next catalyst. Before today's session played out, the community was already doing the heavy lifting. Let's rewind to the three sharpest takes from @程俊Dream,
TOPI would pick Ivan_Gan's view as the most actionable. Bitcoin and gold offer clear technical levels, but macro policy is still the bigger driver across asset classes. If Fed hike expectations continue to fade, liquidity-sensitive assets like QQQ and SPY could remain supported even if markets stay range-bound. That said, gold's breakout deserves attention. A short squeeze may explain the speed of the move, but sustained strength would suggest deeper institutional demand rather than just positioning. For Bitcoin, $67K is the key confirmation level, while $57.8K remains the line bulls can't afford to lose. Personally, I'd rather wait for the breakout than chase the middle of the range. @WallStreet_Tiger [你懂的]

S&P 500 Posts Third Consecutive Weekly Gain, JPMorgan Races Toward $1 Trillion
📌 Weekly Wrap In Summary 🐯 Key Takeaways 📈 S&P 500 posts third consecutive weekly gain, breaches 7,800 for the first time. Earnings beats + cooling rate-hike expectations provide dual support. 🏦 $JPMorgan Chase(JPM)$ market cap nears $1 trillion, Wells Fargo raises target to $390, on track to become the world's first trillion-dollar bank. Sector rotation accelerates: Energy re-enters top 5 (+7.57%), tech cedes ground — bull market enters broadening phase. Consumer data is the biggest concern — July retail sales -0.6% MoM, consumer sentiment reverses. 💰 Tepper adds "Magnificent 7", trims memory stocks in Q2, but re-bought on the dip — top funds still bullish on AI. 🔭 Next week's focus: Jackson Hole Powell speech (8/21) is the key
TOPU.S. stocks remain in a strong but increasingly selective bull market. The S&P 500 broke above 7,800, marking its third straight weekly gain, but sector rotation is accelerating as investors move beyond mega-cap tech into energy and industrials. The biggest warning sign is the consumer. July retail sales fell 0.6%, while sentiment weakened, raising concerns about economic momentum. At the same time, higher oil prices and geopolitical tensions could revive inflation risks. The key event this week is Powell's Jackson Hole speech. A dovish tone could reignite the AI rally, while a hawkish message could trigger profit-taking. My view: the bull market isn't over — it's broadening. The next winners may come from sectors beyond technology. @WallStreet_Tiger [思考]
