To The Moon

🌪️ A Big Week for Technology Stocks If you own technology stocks right now, this is the week that teaches you how the game is played. 📚📈 On Tuesday, September 1, Wall Street had one of its worst sessions in weeks. Oil jumped above $90 a barrel following fresh U.S. strikes on Iran, Treasury yields climbed to their highest levels since early 2025, and the Nasdaq fell around 1%. 🛢️📉 Then came Dell Technologies. After the market closed, Dell reported quarterly results, and the stock jumped around 8% in after-hours trading. 💻🚀 Tonight, the spotlight turns to Broadcom. After the U.S. market closes on Wednesday, September 2 — roughly 4 a.m. Thursday Singapore time — Broadcom will report its fiscal Q3 results. The big question is: 🤖 Can Broadcom Really Triple Its AI Business? ⸻ 📚 First: A 5-Minute

I’m bullish on $Broadcom(AVGO)$ after earnings, with my pick around the $350–$400 area. I’m expecting solid AI revenue growth and potentially stronger guidance, especially as AI infrastructure spending remains strong across GPUs, networking and custom silicon. The custom AI chip opportunity is what excites me most. I don’t expect Broadcom to replace NVDA anytime soon, but more AI companies building chips tailored to their own workloads could become a major growth driver for Broadcom. If management provides clearer visibility on OpenAI and other custom-chip programs, I think the market could reward AVGO with another leg higher. At the same time, I’ll be cautious if guidance fails to match the market’s already-high expectations. That said, expectat

I think Monday’s pullback is more of a warning sign than a reason to turn bearish. Higher oil prices, rising Treasury yields and renewed U.S.-Iran tensions are uncomfortable, especially for high-valuation growth stocks, but the major indexes still finished August higher. For me, the biggest concern is whether $United States Oil Fund LP(USO)$ oil staying above $90 will create more persistent inflation pressure. If yields continue rising, tech and AI valuations could face more pressure, while companies like $Marvell Technology(MRVL)$ show that investors increasingly want AI demand to translate into real revenue and earnin

I think the AI hardware trade is clearly broadening beyond GPUs. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ may still dominate compute, but HBM, enterprise SSDs and networking are becoming increasingly important. That makes $Broadcom(AVGO)$ interesting because it can benefit from both custom ASICs and networking. I’m watching AVGO’s earnings closely because another strong AI outlook would reinforce the idea that AI CapEx is spreading across the ecosystem. I don’t see Broadcom replacing NVIDIA; rather, GPU + ASIC + networking could become the winning combination as hyperscalers optimize performance, power and cost. For me, the biggest question is valuation, not demand. If Broadcom delivers another blowout quarter but the stock str

I think the memory story is still fundamentally strong, but I’m becoming more selective at these valuations. DRAM supply looks structurally tight, while HBM continues absorbing capacity due to strong AI demand. That gives $Micron Technology(MU)$ and $SK hynix(SKHY)$ a stronger setup into 2027, in my view. I’m also paying close attention to how companies use their cash. SK hynix’s huge buyback is a strong confidence signal, while Micron’s heavy reinvestment suggests management still sees attractive long-term demand. Buybacks aren’t a guaranteed price floor, but they show these companies are generating serious cash. The biggest risk is that ~85% gross margins create very high expectations. I’ll be watching D

🌟🌟🌟 Monday's pullback is a classic short term volatility spike rather than a permanent threat to the AI rally.  This is because hyperscale AI capital expenditure is an unyielding structural mandate that mega cap balance sheets will continue to fund, completely regardless of short term oil spikes or bond market volatility. Hyperscalers like Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta and Amazon aren't spending billions on custom ASICs and HBM because it is a fun hobby.  They are doing it because failing to secure a piece of the next generation computing infrastructure may mean tech obsolescence. So stay cool, stay invested because investing is a marathon, not a sprint. @Tiger_comments @Tiger

I would rotate modestly toward cash-flow certainty, not abandon growth. A 10-year yield near 4.8% is more than noise: it raises the discount rate on long-duration AI earnings and makes debt-funded capex increasingly expensive. With oil adding another inflation impulse and September hike odds now around two-thirds, richly valued tech has less room for disappointment. But payrolls are the potential circuit-breaker. A genuinely weak jobs print could pull yields back quickly and revive duration-sensitive tech. So rather than chase the bond selloff, I would favour profitable, cash-generative companies and keep some dry powder. If payrolls surprise stronger, 5% on the 10-year becomes a much more uncomfortable possibility. If they disappoint sharply, today's tech weakness could become the entry p

I would wait for the print rather than front-run it. Broadcom's AI story is clearly real: Q2 AI semiconductor revenue hit $10.8bn, +143% YoY, and management guided Q3 to $16bn. But the market already knows that. The real hurdle is whether those huge orders translate into durable margins and higher FY27 guidance. The heavier AI mix itself is expected to compress gross margin towards 74%, while Broadcom explicitly warns that custom accelerators and AI systems carry lower gross margins. The Google-Marvell threat also looks more medium-term than immediate, with Marvell saying the Google deal becomes much more significant only in FY29. So my trigger is not simply "$16bn AI revenue achieved". I want $16bn+, resilient margins and, most importantly, an upgrade or stronger evidence behind the $100b

🌟To be optimistic about software stocks right now, you have to separate the elite monopolies from the vulnerable ones.  The software sector is navigating a major structural divergence.  The only software companies that will thrive are those that actively control the infrastructure where AI is actually deployed.  They don't just sell software, they operate the tollbooths that other enterprises must pay to access the digital economy. My top pick is $Microsoft(MSFT)$ .  Their Azure cloud ecosystem is the primary launchpad for enterprise AI deployment.  Every time a corporation runs an advanced model, queries a database or utilises OpenAI infrastructure, Microsoft extracts a high margin digital rent. Moreover the integration

🌟🌟🌟The ultimate macro impact of this round of oil price increases on US stocks centres squarely on Option B:  The direct transmission of energy inflation will force Kevin Warsh's Fed into a surprise September rate hike, sending the heaviest liquidation pressure straight to growth and technology stocks.  Why?  When crude oil stays pinned at USD 95, it transmits a massive price impulse straight through the Consumer Price Index or CPI & Producer Price Index (PPI) metrics. Kevin Warsh has warned that financial conditions are not restrictive enough.  Surging oil gives him a mandate to push the September interest rate hike probability to over 70%. Higher interest rates drive up global bond yields.  The market drops today not because corporate earnings are bad, but b

For me, I lean toward A + B. Supply buffers appear thinner this time, while higher oil is feeding into inflation expectations and Treasury yields. If 10-year yields stay elevated, high-valuation tech and growth stocks could face more pressure as discount rates rise. That said, I’m not rushing out of AI or tech. I still believe in the long-term AI cycle, so I’d rather DCA through volatility than try to time the bottom. I’m also keeping more cash and short-duration assets ready in case another sharp pullback creates better entry points. The key is whether this becomes a temporary oil spike or a persistent inflation shock. I’ll watch oil, Treasury yields, nonfarm payrolls and CPI closely before making bigger moves. If inflation stays sticky, I’ll stay defensive and avoid excessive leverage.

If I could only pick one, I’d go with $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ . The combination of 93% revenue growth, 149% U.S. commercial growth and raised guidance is hard to ignore. More importantly, I see Palantir benefiting from both AI adoption and broader enterprise software spending, giving it multiple growth drivers. That said, I wouldn’t ignore the valuation risk. At these growth rates, expectations are already extremely high, so even a strong earnings report could trigger a pullback if guidance disappoints. I’d rather DCA into PLTR than chase a big post-earnings rally. $Atlassian Corporation PLC(TEAM)$ ,

For me, A is the biggest risk, with B and C also worth watching. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ has proven AI demand remains strong, but the key question is how much future demand is being pulled forward through financing and infrastructure commitments. Strong revenue today doesn’t guarantee the same growth rate forever. I’m still bullish on Nvidia’s long-term position at the center of AI infrastructure. But I’m becoming more selective across the ecosystem, paying closer attention to the balance sheets and cash flows of customers like $CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ and $NEBIUS(NBIS)$ . For my strategy, I’d rather hold core positions and DCA on meaningful pullbacks than chase rallies.

I’d choose C for now. A 20%+ one-day drop looks tempting, but the biggest issue isn’t valuation—it’s the uncertainty around wildfire liabilities and the Wildfire Fund. I’d rather wait for more clarity before treating $PG&E Corp(PCG)$ or $Edison(EIX)$ as a genuine defensive play. I still like the utility sector for its relatively stable cash flows, but I wouldn’t assume all utilities carry the same risk. $Utilities Select Sector SPDR

🌟🌟🌟Welcome to September - historically the most brutal calendar month of the year for the stock market.  It is a time when fund managers window dress their balance sheets, lock in summer profits & tax loss harvest with ruthless efficiency. When Nasdaq drops, there are 2 hyper emotional polarised camps: The All In Cowboys demand you deploy every last cent of your cash immediately. The panicked Cash Out Doomsayers want you to liquidate your entire portfolio & run for the exit. Both extremes are a one way ticket to a psychological & financial meltdown. Smart investors reject the 2 extreme camps.  Instead it is better to continue the dollar cost averaging strategy into $Invesco NASDAQ 100

Left side investing - that is buying an asset while its price is actively falling before a bottom has been technically confirmed - requires a stomach of pure iron. But for a premium financial infrastructure builder like $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ , the fundamental thesis is solid: The OCC Trust Charter Moat: This turns Circle into a fully compliant sovereign financial vault.  They are no longer a basic crypto proxy.  Circle is now a highly regulated settlement utility that consumers can safely use. The Revenue Engine is Unbroken:  Circle generates a huge 95.5% of its top line revenue by capturing risk free interest yields on the massive pile of short term US Treasuries backing USDC. USDC's skyrocketing circulating supply now ar

🌟🌟🌟With John Ternus officially taking the helm as CEO, replacing Tim Cook's legendary operational legacy, the narrative around $Apple(AAPL)$ has undergone a dramatic facelift.  Ternus brings a deeply product focused, engineering first energy back to Apple, sparking intense optimism that Apple is ready to accelerate its innovation cycle. The litmus test for Ternus is the anticipated launch of the next generation iPhone.  This new device is being engineered from the ground up as a dedicated Edge AI powerhouse.  It is built to run native hardware accelerated Apple Intelligence models on the device without relying on expensive cloud server networks. If Ternus is successful, he faces a huge commercial gold mine. Apple also has big moun
