Alibaba: The Bigger Signal Behind the $10B AI Raise

$Alibaba(BABA)$   Alibaba is raising ~HK$80bn (US$10.2bn) through a Hong Kong share placement to accelerate its AI and cloud investment. The market initially reacted negatively because of dilution and concerns over huge AI spending. But several signals are worth watching: * ~3× oversubscribed — strong institutional demand. * Joe Tsai bought ~HK$81m of Alibaba shares around HK$112, after the sell-off. * CEO Eddie Wu bought ~HK$39m around the same price. * Tsai previously made a much larger ~US$152m purchase around US$77.5/ADS in 2023. He’s now buying again around US$115/ADS equivalent. * The new shares are being placed with non-U.S. investors, potentially strengthening Alibaba’s Hong Kong/Asian shareholder base.

IWM Bounce Emerges from Blue Box Zone

IWM (iShares Russell 2000 ETF) has been unfolding a bullish impulse from the March 23, 2026 low, maintaining a higher‑high sequence that favors continued upside. Our strategy guided members to avoid selling and instead buy dips in 3, 7, or 11 swings at defined blue box areas. August 20, 2026 (1‑Hour Chart Update) Rally from July 29 low ended wave 3 at $305.20. Wave 4 pullback unfolded as a zigzag correction:((a)) ended at $299.64.((b)) bounced to $303.58.((c)) reached the blue box at $297.39–$293.54. Buyers were expected to emerge from this zone for the next leg higher or at least a 3‑wave bounce. August 24, 2026 (1‑Hour Chart Update) IWM reacted strongly higher after completing the zigzag correction in the blue box. Members secured risk‑free positions shortly after entry. A decisive break

Elliott Wave Forecast: Crude Oil (CL) Aims Higher, $100.6 in Sight

The short‑term Elliott Wave view in Oil (CL) continues to suggest a constructive bias, supported by the impulsive rally from the July 2, 2026 low. That advance unfolded in five waves and concluded wave (A) at $93.50. Following this peak, the market experienced a three‑wave corrective decline, which terminated at $74.17 as reflected in the one‑hour chart. The sequence of a five‑wave rally followed by a three‑wave pullback establishes a bullish structure against the July 2 pivot, reinforcing the expectation of further upside potential. From the completion of wave (B), Oil has resumed higher in wave (C), which is unfolding with impulsive characteristics. Within this progression, wave ((i)) ended at $84.61, while the subsequent pullback in wave ((ii)) found support at $80.09. The instrument th

Alibaba Slips 0.73% as Burry Bears Down — CEO Buys $4.98 Million: Who’s Wrong?

$Alibaba(BABA)$ Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA) has suddenly become a battleground between two very different investment philosophies. On one side is Michael Burry, the investor made famous by The Big Short, who has exited Alibaba and shifted his capital toward rival JD.com. Burry argues that Alibaba’s decision to issue roughly $10.2 billion of new shares to finance artificial-intelligence investment signals potentially poor returns on invested capital. He has reportedly said Alibaba would need to fall roughly 50% before he becomes interested again. On the other side is Alibaba's own management. CEO Eddie Wu purchased 350,000 Alibaba shares for approximately $4.984 million, at an average price of $14.24 per share on the Form 4 reporting ba
Alibaba Slips 0.73% as Burry Bears Down — CEO Buys $4.98 Million: Who’s Wrong?

The Dual Helm: Navigating Market Regime Shifts in the Era of Warsh and Bessent

In this article, we will be looking at deconstructing the Jackson Hole Policy Tensions, Yield Curve Volatility, and Strategic Sector Rotation Strategy for Institutional Investors. The market price action surrounding August 25, 2026—where the $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ Invesco QQQ Trust dipped 1% before recovering slightly—serves as a microcosm for an emerging institutional dynamic in U.S. capital markets. Rather than a single policy pillar, equity and fixed-income assets are now governed by a dual-helm framework shaped by Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. While Chair Warsh’s doctrine of "disciplined silence," removal of forward guidance, and inflation intolerance pushes long-term yields higher, Treasury Secretary Besse

Disclaimer: Nothing I say or post should be considered financial advice. Please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions.‌ Trump seemed to be determined to force Iran hands by slaming tariffs on countries that trade with Iran, with China the major trade partner.

I would wait for both Nvidia earnings and Jackson Hole to clear. Nvidia’s fundamentals remain exceptional, with consensus revenue around $92bn and Rubin potentially becoming the next major growth driver, but expectations are already demanding. A routine beat may not be enough, especially after four consecutive negative post-earnings reactions. The reported 15%+ server price increases also show Nvidia retaining pricing power despite soaring memory costs, although that could pressure customers’ AI returns. For me, the better risk/reward is to avoid chasing before two major catalysts. If Nvidia delivers strong guidance and Warsh does not trigger another yield shock, I would add afterwards. Suppliers, especially memory and AI infrastructure names, remain attractive as a secondary way to play t

Meituan Earnings Preview: Has the Profit Turning Point Arrived?

After the Hong Kong market closes this Friday, Meituan will release its second-quarter earnings report. Analysts expect Q2 revenue to reach RMB 101.079 billion, up 16.8% year over year, while adjusted EPS is forecast at RMB 0.052, down 97.1% year over year. As for the stock performance, Meituan has been volatile this year. The stock rebounded briefly in late June but has weakened again recently, falling about 23.8% year to date. In terms of revenue structure, Meituan has two major business segments: Core Local Commerce and New Initiatives. Delivery services and merchant services are the main sources of revenue within Core Local Commerce. Analysts expect Core Local Commerce revenue to grow about 4.95% year over year in Q2, while New Initiatives is expected to grow much faster, with revenue

I would wait for the data rather than chase the oil-driven growth rally. The demining of Hormuz is genuinely positive, and Iran-Oman talks on a temporary shipping corridor could further reduce the geopolitical premium. But actual oil flows remain far below pre-war levels, while attacks on vessels continue. At the same time, Bessent’s expanded sanctions covering shipping, gold, digital assets and other sectors could tighten Iran’s financial pressure substantially. So cheaper oil is bullish for growth and inflation expectations, but I would want confirmation from shipping flows and diplomacy before rotating aggressively. I would keep core growth exposure, avoid chasing energy after geopolitical spikes, and retain some energy as a hedge. The risk premium has compressed, not disappeared.

I would wait for the data. Moderna’s rally shows the market is shifting from a short-covering story towards assigning real value to intismeran, and a potential $9.2bn peak-sales opportunity would clearly transform the company’s outlook. But peak sales are still a model, not realised demand. With LTM revenue around $2.23bn and declining, paying up after another 14% jump leaves little room for disappointing efficacy, regulatory delays or slower commercial adoption. Merck offers the more diversified route to the same oncology opportunity, but with less upside sensitivity if intismeran succeeds spectacularly. For Moderna, I would rather miss the first part of the move and add after stronger clinical data validate the revenue thesis. At $158+, evidence matters more than analyst targets.

If I could only choose one through the end of the year, I’d pick B: Bitcoin. Gold is the safer and more established hedge, but I think Bitcoin has greater upside if rate-cut expectations, a weaker dollar and liquidity conditions continue to support risk assets. I also like Bitcoin because its role is gradually expanding beyond a speculative asset. With concerns around inflation, currency debasement and rising government debt, I see Bitcoin as a higher-risk alternative to traditional stores of value. The volatility is definitely higher, so position sizing matters. Gold would still be my choice for capital preservation, but if the goal is to maximize potential returns through year-end, I’d rather take the higher-risk Bitcoin trade.

If I had to choose one, I’d go with D: Eaton and Vertiv. I think the AI power bottleneck is becoming a structural theme, but I prefer the “picks and shovels” approach because data centers need power distribution, backup systems and cooling regardless of which generation technology ultimately wins. That said, $Bloom Energy Corp(BE)$ is definitely interesting. The combination of record revenue, improving margins and onsite power generation gives BE a compelling growth story, especially when grid connections can take years. However, its valuation and execution risk make me less comfortable chasing the stock after a strong run. I also like nuclear and gas power producers for the longer term, but I think the infrastructure surrounding electricity could
