To The Moon

Hello. US markets barely moved during Wednesday's session — $S&P 500(.SPX)$ fell 0.02 per cent and $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ rose 0.09 per cent, with everyone waiting on one set of results after the close. They arrived, and the numbers were better than anyone had expected. Record revenue of US$96.221 billion, up 106 per cent year on year, with data centre revenue up 117 per cent; consensus was about US$92.38 billion, so revenue came in about 4 per cent ahead, and adjusted earnings per share was US$2.22 against US$2.09 expected, about 6.22 per cent ahead. Guidance for the current quarter is about US$108 billion, and revenue in financial year 2028 is expected to grow about 70 per

For months, investors treated AI as an existential threat to software companies. The latest earnings reports offered a different possibility: companies with proprietary enterprise data and deeply embedded workflows may be able to charge for AI instead of being replaced by it. Salesforce surged 22.6%, CrowdStrike climbed 20.5%, while the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF gained roughly 7.6%. ServiceNow and Palo Alto Networks also joined the rebound. Salesforce: Agentforce is starting to generate real revenue Salesforce reported fiscal Q2 revenue of $11.35 billion, up 11% year over year, and raised its full-year revenue outlook to $46.1–46.4 billion. The AI numbers attracted even more attention: Agentforce and Data 360 ARR approached $3.9 billion, up 210%. Agentforce ARR exceeded $1.

On Mon, 10 Aug 2026 comeback kid $Intel(INTC)$ made the headlines again when it announced a $15 billion common stock offering to support skyrocketing customer AI demand. (see below) Even before US trading begins, early on Tue, 11 Aug 2026, the chip maker confirmed, it had priced the stock offering at $95 a share and upsized the offer by additional $5 billion to $20 billion. (see above) Here’s the thing - INTC’s $20 billion equity raise is more than a routine financing exercise: It is a calculated attempt to convert INTC’s powerful share-price recovery into the factory capacity needed to compete in AI infrastructure and 3rd-party chip manufacturing. The immediate sell-off reflects dilution anxiety, but the deeper question is whether the offering: S

This week sits at a key macro inflection point for US equities: the US is set to release important macro data including GDP and PCE, while the Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Symposium will be held over the weekend, where Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s remarks could provide new guidance for rate expectations. Against this backdrop, Nvidia, a core name in the AI supply chain, will report earnings after the close on Wednesday; its results and guidance will directly test whether elevated capital expenditure can continue to translate into orders and profitability. The confluence of macro data, central bank commentary, and tech leadership earnings makes this week a critical checkpoint for whether the “AI narrative” can continue to support rich valuations. The core issue this week is not the direction

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ With this earnings report, NVIDIA has cemented its status as the Federal Reserve of the AI world. Going forward, its earnings releases will be roughly equivalent to macroeconomic data releases. I haven't figured out the full implications yet, but one thing is clear: the nature of the company has changed. Wednesday's largest block trade combo was Sell Put 200 + Buy Call 220 + Sell Call 230. As today's opening showed — opening at 222, hitting 225 intraday — it was remarkably precise. Next week, there's no need to look at open interest data or GEX analysis. Just reference today's intraday block trade: the September 4-expiry 235 Put $NVDA 20260904 235.0 PUT$ — volume 9,1

The KOSPI Index previously fell nearly 40% from its peak. As forced liquidation pressure gradually fades, the sell-off in Korean equities appears to be nearing an end. Korean stocks seem to have entered a technical bull market, and this rally may have considerable staying power. Why do I think this technical bull market in Korean stocks could last for quite some time? There are several reasons. 1. The AI semiconductor cycle is still in an upswing The KOSPI is highly dependent on memory-chip giants Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, which together account for roughly half of the index’s weight. $三星电子(SSNLF)$ $ $SK海力士(SKHY)$ Boosted by Nvidia’s latest earnings report, which s

👋 Hi, Tigers! Wednesday was a quiet session on the surface — $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ -0.21% to 53,463.88, $S&P 500(.SPX)$ -0.02% to 7,675.70, $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ -0.08% to 26,130.20 — but that calm was just the market holding its breath. The real action happened after the bell, and in two boardrooms that had nothing to do with AI chips. 💲 The Setup: A Market on Pause July core PCE inflation landed exactly in line with expectations, leaving September rate-cut odds unchanged. With nothing new on the inflation front and Nvidia's print looming after the close, traders mostly stayed on the sidelines — Big Tech split roughly d
