Out from AI and money flowing back to "traditional" stocks?

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.

And the tariff war between US and Canada has officially started, with Mark Carney announcing 50% reciprocal tariffs after negotiations broke down.

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
Meituan Earnings Preview: Has the Profit Turning Point Arrived?
TOPInvesting Leon: I think Meituan spent too heavily on subsidies to gain market share during the previous price war. As a result, although revenue continued to grow, its profit margins became increasingly thin, which is unfavorable for the company’s long-term development.

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. I’m comfortable with the volatility as long as I keep my po

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

Beyond Pure Memory: Deconstructing SanDisk’s Multi-Fold Rally, Short-Term Divergence, and the Strategic Co-Evolution of Storage and AI Compute

The semiconductor sector has experienced unprecedented valuation expansion driven by the generative AI infrastructure super cycle. Within this regime, memory manufacturers have witnessed remarkable multi-fold rallies. However, short-term performance divergence between pure memory/NAND flash providers (such as $Western Digital(WDC)$ Western Digital/ $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ SanDisk assets) and compute-adjacent DRAM/HBM leaders (such as $SK hynix(SKHY)$ SK Hynix and $Micron Technology(MU)$ Micron) has sparked debate over market positioning and investor preference.

This is not a hype cycle.  It is the physical infrastructure on a scale normally associated with national governments. This is the largest spaceport ever built.  It is a geopolitcal asset, definitely not a bubble. Hard power infrastructure tends to justify premium valuation because it becomes irreplaceable.

Why Box’s AI Strategy Is Finally Improving the Metrics That Matter

$Box(BOX)$ has spent years arguing that enterprise content would become more valuable when artificial intelligence could understand and act on it. Its fiscal-second-quarter results offered unusually good evidence for that thesis: revenue growth remained moderate, but billings, contracted backlog, customer expansion and cash flow accelerated together. Box reported after the August 25 close for the quarter ended July 31. Revenue increased 9% to a record $321.1 million, or 11% in constant currency. Billings rose 17% to $309.5 million, remaining performance obligations increased 15% to $1.7 billion and net retention improved to 106%. GAAP operating margin reached 10.2%, versus 7.0% one year earlier, while non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 29.4%. Bo

Why Weak Consumer Confidence Is Not Yet a Consumer-Spending Collapse

US consumer confidence fell to a seven-month low in August, and new-home sales recorded their weakest pace since January. Yet consumers simultaneously reported a better current labour market. The split matters for equities: households are worried about the future, but the evidence does not yet show a uniform contraction in present spending capacity. The Conference Board released its preliminary August survey on August 25, covering responses collected from August 3 through August 16. The Consumer Confidence Index declined to 89.4 from 90.2 in July. The Present Situation Index rose 6.8 points to 121.2, while the Expectations Index fell 5.8 points to 68.2.

🎁 What the Tigers Say | Gold Surges on Treasury Signals — But Can the Rally Last?

Hi Tigers 🐯, Welcome to "What the Tigers Say." 👋 Last week, market attention shifted from the Fed to the Treasury after expanded long-term Treasury buybacks sparked fresh debate across $Gold.com(GOLD)$, crypto, and equities. While gold responded quickly to the liquidity signal, three Tigers looked deeper into whether the move represents a sustainable opportunity or a temporary market reaction. Before the market made its next move, the community had already broken down the key questions. Let’s revisit three perspectives from @Ivan_Gan, @程俊Dream, and
🎁 What the Tigers Say | Gold Surges on Treasury Signals — But Can the Rally Last?
TOPSubramanyan: In my limited understanding the following will decide the flow. 1. Treasury Intervention: U.S. govt's buyback of long-dated bonds to cool yields raised market concerns over currency debasement. 2. Debasement Trade Resumes: major investors heavily buying gold to hedge against a compounding $40 trillion national debt and fiat dilution. 3. Geopolitics: Ongoing conflicts in the ME and global trade sanctions further driving safe-haven demand into gold. 4. Strong Institutional Backing: Major firms maintain structural long-term targets pointing toward the $6,000 mark by year-end. 5. Crtical near-term Catalysts: sustainability of rally rests on upcoming PCE inflation data and the Fed’s policy tone. Till then happy investing.

Especially the swing trading and small-position opportunities I shared in the community. Yesterday, market panic reached extreme levels. Many quality companies experienced sharp declines due to overall sentiment rather than a change in fundamentals. During moments of fear, we don’t just see risk — we see opportunities created by emotional selling. That’s why I shared a list of stocks in the community with solid fundamentals but significant short-term pullbacks, allowing members to consider small-position entries: ‌$Applied Optoelectronics Inc.(AAOI)$  ‌105 ‌$AXT Inc(AXTI)$  ‌63 ‌$闪迪(SNDK)$  ‌1450 ‌$NEBIUS(NBIS
