Pfizer: The Undervalued Pharma Giant Amid Eli Lilly’s Hype and Regencell’s Speculation

Over the past year, the pharmaceutical industry’s spotlight has been almost entirely occupied by two events: first, $Eli Lilly(LLY)$ swept the market with its GLP-1 drugs Mounjaro and Zepbound, sending its stock price soaring; second, the little-known Chinese pharmaceutical company Regencell Bioscience (RGC) achieved an astonishing gain of over 21,000%, becoming a carnival for speculators. Yet while the market obsesses over stars and myths, true value investors often seek opportunities in the overlooked corners. Today, a “struggling” pharmaceutical giant is waiting in the wings— $Pfizer(PFE)$ . Not only does it have a backup plan in the GLP-1 race, but it also offers an attractive 6.4% dividend yield. As El

2026 Silver Market & Silver ETF Investment Guide

The silver market staged a heart-stopping rollercoaster ride in 2026: amid extreme volatility, silver prices soared to an all-time high of $120 per ounce before plummeting sharply to the mid-$70 range. As a unique precious metal with both industrial and financial attributes, silver's performance is driven not only by industrial demand from sectors such as solar energy and electric vehicles but also by interest rates, inflation expectations and market sentiment. Compared with gold, silver's higher volatility makes it one of the most dynamic assets in the commodity market. Looking ahead to 2026-2030, persistent supply shortages and growing global demand are expected to drive a gradual climb in silver prices, potentially challenging the $145 mark. However, short-term fluctuations are inevitab

High Dividend Yields in the S&P 500: Treasures or Dividend Traps?

Among $S&P 500(.SPX)$ components, stocks with the highest dividend yields always draw the most attention, especially from investors seeking stable cash flow. Yet a high dividend yield is not always a sign of a company’s sound operations; instead, it may result from a sustained drop in share price—a phenomenon known as a dividend trap. Currently, the top five dividend-yielding stocks in the S&P 500 all boast yields well above 6.4%, with LyondellBasell leading the pack at an astonishing 9.3%. But behind these tempting figures lie hidden risks. Are these stocks undervalued gems or ticking traps? This article breaks down each one in turn. What Is a Dividend Trap?

Newmont: A Better Bet Than Gold Bullion in This Historic Gold Bull Market

$Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$ When the price of gold surged past the all-time milestone of $5,000 an ounce with an annual gain of over 70%, the market’s attention became almost entirely fixated on this glittering safe-haven asset itself. Yet the real smart money may be shifting to the background—to the producers that turn underground ore into physical gold. In this historic gold bull market, Newmont (NEM), the world’s largest listed gold company, is proving with staggering financial results that it may offer more investment value than gold bullion itself. Gold prices have climbed more than 18% year to date, breaking above $5,000 an ounce—a figure not even the most optimistic gold bugs would have dared to imagine just two years ago. But while reta

GOLD: The Calm Before Storm

$Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$ $XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ Technical Analysis: The gold market is currently in a typical "calm before the storm." The tug-of-war between bulls and bears around the $5200 level reflects the market's high degree of uncertainty regarding the outcome of the US-Iran negotiations. Technically, if the negotiations achieve a breakthrough, gold prices could quickly test the $5100 or even $5000 psychological level; conversely, if the negotiations break down and regional conflict escalates, gold prices will easily break through the $5200 resistance and quickly challenge the previous high of $5340. It is worth noting that even if gold prices experience a short-term pullback due to

GOLD: Wait for the US CPI Data

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some macro analysis with you! 1. $Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$ Technical Analysis: The $5000 level has become the first resistance zone for a short-term rebound. If the rebound is limited and fails to hold, the downtrend will be difficult to reverse. Further key resistance lies around $5020; only a recapture of this level can allow the market to resume its upward trend. Momentum indicators show the daily RSI has rapidly fallen below 50, indicating a significant weakening of bullish momentum. The MACD histogram is also contracting and showing signs of a death cross, reinforcing the short-term pullback signal.

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some macro analysis with you! 1. Gold prices fell sharply during the Asian session on Tuesday (February 17), breaking below $4,900 and currently trading around $4,900 per ounce.

GOLD Held Above the Key Short-term Support Level

Technical Analysis: Gold has firmly held above the key short-term support level of $5002.31, indicating a bullish near-term bias. It is poised to challenge the recent high of $5119.35 and the Fibonacci resistance at $5143.89. A break above $5143.89 could trigger an accelerated upward move. Should the $5002.31 support level be breached, gold faces downside risks. Key support levels below are $4760.87 and $4744.34, with the 50-day moving average at $4705.42 also serving as a crucial support. This level typically attracts medium-to-long-term buying interest!

Technical Analysis: Gold Prices Hold Above 20-Day Moving Average, Upward Momentum Accumulating

$Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$ The daily chart for gold prices shows the upward trend remains intact. As long as gold prices hold above the 20-day moving average (MA, 4957.36), the market structure remains bullish, and bulls are targeting higher prices. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is significantly above the midline, indicating a bullish bias; the MACD histogram is narrowing in negative territory, showing that bearish momentum is gradually weakening. On the upside, if gold can continue to recover and hold above the $5100 level, it may accelerate towards the January 30 high of $5450.95.
