They fall into three very different buckets: AI infrastructure, cyclical memory/storage, and defensive/optionality plays. I opt for MU. Why MU is my #1 The important thing happening right now is that we're seeing a violent rotation within the AI trade, not necessarily deterioration in the underlying AI infrastructure demand. On August 18, MU fell about 7% to $940.76, while NVDA fell 2.3%, SNDK 9%, and SK Hynix about 9%. That's interesting because Micron's fundamentals are exceptionally strong. Micron Technology And Micron says AI/server demand is causing tight DRAM and NAND supply, with HBM4 ramping rapidly. That creates a particularly attractive setup: AI demand → more GPUs → more HBM → more memory content → pricing power → huge The catch is that Micron is still a cyclical memory company
TOPpeepzy: MU first. That pricing power fades fast once supply catches up. How many quarters do these margins really hold?

The Line Between Results and Share Prices Snapped on Tuesday
Hello. Three companies reported on Tuesday. Put the three side by side and no order makes sense. $Fabrinet(FN)$ beat on revenue by about 3.1 per cent and on earnings per share by about 7.5 per cent, both records — and closed down 19.38 per cent at US$482.59. $Home Depot(HD)$ beat on both lines, posted net sales of about US$47.9 billion and its best comparable sales since 2022, and reaffirmed full-year guidance — and closed down 0.12 per cent. $BIDU-SW(09888)$ missed on both revenue and profit, with earnings per share about 22.7 per cent short — and closed down 12.73 per cent. Full marks fell 19 per cent, a pass fell 0.
TOPI prefer the former: This is Apple trading a small portion of its profits in exchange for greater regulatory certainty. On the surface, the new model of 5% does mean that Apple's commission space in the EU has been compressed, but I think what really matters is not this 5%, but to "price" the antitrust disputes that have lasted for many years as much as possible. For a company like Apple, which has a huge ecology and ultra-high service profit margin, the most fearful thing is not to give up a little profit, but that the rules are uncertain for a long time, and even it constantly faces fines, restrictions and forced reconstruction of its business model.

Kuaishou released its second-quarter earnings, posting the slowest revenue growth in its history.
Kuaishou's Q2 results broadly met market expectations. According to the company's financial report, total revenue in the second quarter grew 1.4% year-over-year to RMB 35.54 billion, marking the slowest growth rate in its history and broadly in line with the Bloomberg consensus estimate of RMB 35.51 billion. Net profit and adjusted net profit came in at RMB 3.15 billion and RMB 3.91 billion, respectively, both slightly exceeding market expectations. However, both net profit and adjusted net profit posted significant declines, mainly due to a sharp 34.7% increase in R&D spending to RMB 4.58 billion, which compressed profit margins. Nonetheless, company management reiterated its commitment to deepening AI investment as a long-term strategic direction. Notably, Kuaishou's Kling AI deliver
TOPAI spend can be strategic, but a 34.7% R&D jump with margin compression needs a clearer payoff path. Kling is growing fast, yet it is still too small to carry the whole story

Storage Stocks Gave It All Back in One Day: What Triggered the Chip Selloff?
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 5% on Tuesday, with memory, storage and optical-networking stocks leading the decline. There was no clear deterioration in industry fundamentals. Rising Treasury yields, higher oil prices and profit-taking in crowded AI trades combined to trigger a sharp valuation reset. 1. Semiconductor Sentiment Reversed in One Session On Monday, AI storage was one of the strongest areas of the market: SanDisk gained 8.9% Micron rose 4.1% Western Digital, Seagate and optical-networking stocks also advanced One day later, the trade reversed sharply. Stock Tuesday Segment SNDK −9.0% NAND and enterprise SSDs WDC −7.4% Data-center HDDs MU −7.0% DRAM and HBM AMD −4.3% AI processors AVGO −3.2% Custom chips and networking NVDA −2.3% AI GPUs COHR −12.8% Optical networkin
TOPI see Tuesday’s semiconductor selloff as normal profit-taking and valuation compression rather than a fundamental breakdown. Higher Treasury yields, oil above $90 and crowded AI trades created the perfect setup for a sharp pullback, especially after the strong recent rally in memory and optical stocks. For me, the key point is that AI demand, memory pricing and data-center CapEx remain intact. I’ll be watching the 50-day moving averages, particularly for $Micron Technology(MU)$ and $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ , to see whether the sector can stabilize and reclaim key levels. Personally, I’m leaning toward A + E: normal profit-taking and an opportunity to accumulate in stages. I wouldn’t rush in after one red day, but I also wouldn’t panic-sell. If MU, SNDK and the broader semiconductor sector stabilize, I’m happy to use the pullback to add gradually. @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @TigerClub

63% Surge vs. 51% Drawdown: 8 Cross-Sector Picks Across Pharma, Tech, Consumer & Energy Shine on Mon
Hello everyone — a new week begins. This week, TigerPicks highlights 8 stocks across healthcare, energy, technology and consumer sectors. The list ranges from a biotech name that surged more than 63% in one session, to an energy company signing a 20-year $Exxon Mobil(XOM)$ agreement, and software names still trading far below their recent highs. Here’s what matters most. 🎁 Tiger Coins ahead: pick your favorite stock from this week’s 8 names and share your reason at the end for a chance to earn Tiger Coins. 💊 Pharma: Weight-Loss Drugs, M&A and a 63% Biotech Surge $Eli Lilly(LLY)$ $1,227.11 +3.70% Market cap ~$1.09T | 52-week range $685.15 - $1,249.45 | 1.8% from ATH Lilly
TOPIf I had to pick one of the eight for the next 30 days, I’d go with $Adobe(ADBE)$ . After falling nearly 30% from its 52-week high, the valuation looks much more attractive, with a forward P/E around 10x. The core Creative Cloud business remains strong, while Firefly and its AI tools could become meaningful growth drivers if Adobe executes well. I prefer 📉 Comeback over 🔥 Momentum. $Amylyx Pharmaceuticals(AMLX)$ and $Targa Resources(TRGP)$ have already rallied sharply, making it harder for me to chase at current levels. ADBE offers a more interesting risk-reward setup: strong fundamentals, a heavily discounted valuation and a clear catalyst from upcoming earnings. For me, the key is whether Adobe can prove that AI strengthens rather than disrupts its business. If the next results provide that evidence, I think the current pessimism could create a good opportunity to accumulate. @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @TigerClub @TigerPicks

🎯 30-Year Treasury Yields Just Hit a 19-Year High — Here's What's Actually Driving It 📉
Long bonds got hammered on Monday — and by the time most of us checked the screens, the 30-year Treasury yield had already blown past a level it hasn't touched since 2007. But this isn't a one-headline story. It's oil, the Fed, foreign demand, and a wave of AI-linked corporate debt all colliding at once. 🐯 Hey Tigers, Let's Talk About the 30-Year 📈 The 30-year Treasury yield rose more than 4 basis points to 5.311% on Monday — its highest level since June 2007. The moves weren't limited to the long end: 🔴 The full curve, Monday's close: 30-year — 5.311% (19-year high) 10-year — 4.724% (up 2+ bps; the benchmark for mortgages, auto loans, credit cards) 2-year — 4.182% (up 1+ bp; tracks near-term Fed expectations) Why it matters: When long yields rise faster than short ones, it's called a "bea
TOPThe 30-year Treasury yield at 5.31% is becoming an increasingly attractive entry point, but I wouldn't rush to lock in long-duration bonds yet. The key issue is that this selloff isn't purely about Fed policy. Persistent inflation risks, higher oil prices, massive fiscal deficits, weaker foreign Treasury demand and growing corporate debt supply are all pushing the long end higher. That makes this a classic "wait for confirmation" moment. If yields eventually stabilize around 5.5% – 5.7%, long-duration bonds could offer compelling returns. But if inflation expectations continue to rise, buying too early could mean sitting through another painful price decline. For now, I'd favor short-duration Treasuries and cash, while gradually preparing to extend duration if yields spike further. The best opportunity may come when the market finally starts pricing peak long-term yields — not simply peak Fed rates. @WallStreet_Tiger [微笑]

Macro Strategy Week:High Yields Squeeze Market as Volatility Returns,Major Opportunities brewing 💹
Weekly Outlook Summary The central view this week is as follows: After weaker U.S. employment data, expectations for further rate hikes eased, temporarily supporting U.S. equities and risk assets. However, the rebound in oil prices, the renewed repricing of inflation, and rising Treasury yields are weakening the fundamental support for further gains in high-valuation U.S. equities. In the near term, the market may again become range-bound. The strategic focus should therefore shift from outright directional positioning toward capturing a rebound in volatility, collecting option time value, and implementing strict risk controls. Policy expectations remain the primary market driver. Following the release of the nonfarm payrolls report, market expectations for another Federal Reserve rate hik
TOPI agree high yields are the core squeeze on valuations, but the curve matters too. A deeper 10Y-2Y inversion is rougher for XLF than most people are pricing in.

📉 Market Divergence Triggers a Pullback — Should Inverse ETFs Be On Your Radar?
Take one look at today's top gainers list and the mood is unmistakable: outside of a single biotech outlier ( $Amylyx Pharmaceuticals(AMLX)$ , +63.84%, on stock-specific news), nearly every other name at the top is a bear or inverse leveraged ETF — funds designed to rise when the underlying assets fall. $Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares(SOXS)$ (+15.20%, semiconductors bear 3x), $Direxion Daily Technology Bear 3X Shares(TECS)$ (+7.46%, tech bear 3x), $MicroSectors FANG & Innovation -3X Inverse Leveraged ETN(BERZ)$ (+7.91%, FANG/innovation bear
TOPMy take: 1) SOXS, 2) HIBS, 3) TECS. The clustering of inverse ETFs is a warning that investors are increasingly hedging duration and high-beta exposure, not necessarily calling for a full market crash. For the next 30 days, I expect the 10-year yield to stay around 4.7%, with 5% possible if inflation and Treasury supply worsen. The 30-year has already hit a 19-year high, showing how serious the bond-market pressure has become. The bigger threat to AI stocks is rising yields. AI debt issuance matters, but it is ultimately another channel through which higher financing costs can pressure valuations. Morgan Stanley expects global AI-related debt issuance to approach $570 billion this year. My view: this is a valuation reset, not necessarily the end of the AI cycle. @TigerObserver [正经]

I’m most bullish on $Micron Technology(MU)$ , $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ over the next 6 months, with MU standing out. HBM remains a critical AI bottleneck, while hyperscaler capex is still extremely strong. I believe memory suppliers can continue capturing a disproportionate share of AI spending as HBM demand stays elevated. NVDA remains a core holding thanks to CUDA, Blackwell and Rubin, while TSM benefits from virtually every leading-edge AI chip and advanced packaging demand. I’m also watching CRDO and ALAB as higher-growth AI connectivity pla
TOPMU is still the shakier one to me. If inventory days are climbing while everyone leans on HBM, that bottleneck story may be masking a cycle problem lol

I’d 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 cannot afford to lose. Personally, I’d rather wait for the breakout than chase the middle of the range. @WallStreet_Tiger [你懂的]

$Baidu(BIDU)$ earnings release basically is just the same as previous quarter except, now market realized the new AI business is not as profitable as it's legacy search ads business. Base on Tencents recent inputs, it's a 30% margin business whereas legacy ads is easily double this figure. In addition, it'll continue to swallow S&M & Capex $$ putting it's book under tremendous strain. At this point, the book still looks alright but if it wants to stay in business, they'll have to spend more. In usual scenario, market should price it at a higher discount, however, in China, it's a different case. BIDU survival will hinge on its relations within the countries government. So far, it seems like gov is still behind them as it has always b

Can SpaceX valuation continue its historic expansion or is it time to close the position while the going is good? Harvard Management revealed a massive investment in SpaceX worth USD 2.2 billion. This makes up over half of its entire US equity portfolio. Titans like Viking Global Investors, Primecap Management & Darsana Capital also increased thei

I’m leaning bullish on Alibaba $Alibaba(BABA)$ $Alibaba(09988)$ going into earnings. The headline EPS and net income declines are expected, but I think the bigger story is whether heavy AI investment is finally translating into stronger Cloud growth and improving profitability. Alibaba Cloud growing over 40% would be a major positive signal, especially if AI-related demand continues to scale. I’ll also be watching whether Instant Commerce losses start narrowing, which could give China e-commerce margins some much-needed relief. My vote: Bullish but within flat range📈.
