Beside of my fulltime job , I had to do part time job like kitchen helper, server, dishwasher etc. to earned side income to cover the loss. 7days straight , only sleep 4-5hours per day for months. Even now I still in red but at least no more debt. [sigh]
Meta Is Down Nearly 20% Since August. Here's What Its Chart Says "Magnificent Seven" stock $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ has fallen nearly 20% since hitting an all-time high in August, and has also trailed the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ in various timeframes from three months to one year. Let's see what its chart and fundamental analysis can show us. Meta's Fundamental Analysis Meta has been struggling of late, with some on Wall Street wondering if the company – which owns Facebook and Instagram – got ahead of itself as far as capex spending on artificial intelligence is concerned. For instance, word emerged last week META is pa
I am regret to keep buying the dip and try to recover the loss, but in the end, the hole is getting deeper and deeper [Facepalm] [Spurting] My 2025 plan was to cut off this stock and focus on more stable and dividend payment stocks like $Coca-Cola(KO)$ $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$
META's $565 Floor, AMKR's $55 Ceiling: Smart Money Option Recently, U.S. technology and semiconductor stocks have remained in the market spotlight. In the options market, $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ and $Amkor Technology(AMKR)$ each saw a large new institutional position, revealing a clear set of expectations: Meta is likely to remain range-bound at elevated levels in the near term, with options flows defining downside risk around the $565 level, while after a sharp rally, institutions see a low probability of Amkor Technology breaking above $55 in the short term. META: Long-Term Bullish, but Lacking Near-Term Catalysts Recently, Meta shares have bee
I believe most of us had been caught in the cycle of revenge trading. I had learned my lesson not to buy the dip as the dip can be deeper [Facepalm] [Spurting] I continue buy the dip from 20, 10 now ? [LOL] I didn't see the stock bounce back ever since...
AI Giants' Revenue Growth is Accelerating, Not Slowing Down. Here's Why Most AI giants except NVIDIA are expected to see accelerating rather than decelerating performance, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates. The growth rates of the five sample companies that we selected remain in expansion territory after bottoming out in 2023. NVIDIA's fiscal year 2026 corresponds to the calendar year 2025. The growth rate of FY 2026 is expected to be 63.4%, and even if it slows down next year, it will still be at least 50% or higher. Broadcom's market-expected revenue growth is expected to rise from over 20% to 49%. In the large-cap cloud market, Amazon's cloud growth in 2026 is expected to break the 20% threshold, while Google Cloud is expected to accelerate from 32.1% to 33%. Microsoft's
Earnings Growth, Fed Rate Cuts? What's in Store for U.S. Stocks in 2024? Inflation, interest rates and recession fears drove the U.S. stock market in 2023, sending equity prices on a roller coaster ride. But after all the worries that the fastest pace of U.S. interest rate hikes in four decades would break the economy, two things continue to amaze: the strength of the consumers and the resilience of Corporate America. The S&P 500 gained 24.58% for 2023 as a whole through Dec.28, led by gains in $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ , $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ , and etc. If analysts' estimates for 2024 hold true, things could get even bet
JPMorgan Chase's Earnings: A Preview $JPMorgan Chase(JPM)$ is set to give its latest quarterly earnings report on Friday, 2024-01-12. Here's what investors need to know before the announcement. Analysts estimate that $JPMorgan Chase(JPM)$ will report an earnings per share (EPS) of $3.46. JPMorgan Chase bulls will hope to hear the company announce they've not only beaten that estimate, but also to provide positive guidance, or forecasted growth, for the next quarter. New investors should note that it is sometimes not an earnings beat or miss that most affects the price of a stock, but the guidance (or forecast). Past Earnings Per
Nvidia Is Leading the Stock Rally, But Don't Overlook Berkshire Hathaway $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ is driving an outsize share of the stock market's rally. But some other stocks are doing some heavy lifting, as well -- including non-technology names. Nvidia stock is up 62% so far this year, beating the 6.7% rise in the S&P 500. Nvidia's outperformance -- with artificial intelligence driving both growth and stronger-than-expected earnings results -- is a key reason that the index has seen its gain for the year. The chip maker's market capitalization is almost $2 trillion, almost 5% of the S&P 500's total market cap. Companies with larger market caps have a larger influence on the movements of the i
Stocks Close Higher After a Bumpy Week Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell told investors that the central bank would "proceed carefully" on any further rate increases in a much-anticipated speech Friday. Investors are split over whether there will be more. Interest rates are at a 22-year high after the Fed lifted them again last month. During his speech in Jackson Hole, Powell cautioned that past interest-rate increases had yet to slow the economy fully but noted that stronger and sustained growth could require higher rates to keep inflation declining. Stocks moved between gains and losses after Powell's speech, before closing higher. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ added 0.7%, with all 11 sectors posting gains. Some inve
I had used Deepseek a few times, but I don't think it is that good since a lot of the info regarding China is restricted. I will buy the dip and wait for the opportunity to rise again. I don't think Trump can save Nvidia, but I believe and trust my instinct in long-term $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ investment on

Has Disney turned the corner? Watch for these 3 earnings signals As an entertainment empire that has captivated audiences for nearly a century, Disney's standing in Hollywood is truly remarkable. Listed on the US stock market for over 60 years, Disney's historical stock performance has been impressive, notably achieving 12 consecutive years of growth from 2009 to 2020.

EVs Boost Chip Demand Despite Semiconductor Makers' Woes Chip sales that have declined across many customer segments are still enjoying one area of rising demand: cars. Growing sales of electric vehicles -- which tend to use more semiconductors than their gas-powered counterparts -- coupled with greater automation of all vehicles, have kept producers of chips for cars busy. The long-term outlook for the market appears robust, Tesla Inc. suggested this past week, as Chief Executive Elon Musk detailed plans for his car company to scale up to 20 million vehicles a year by 2030, from around 1.3 million in 2022. Chip executives say the growth in the number of chips going into cars has been staggering. As of 2021, the average car had about 1,200 chips, twice the number in 2010 and that figure is
What investment opportunities does the approval of the Bitcoin spot ETF bring? On Wednesday EST, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the first-ever Bitcoin ETF for spot trading. 11 ETFs were authorized to begin trading on Thursday. This is a milestone step in the history of Bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency market. Digital currencies have full currency attributes, but the source of their value has always been in doubt. That is, after an item has currency attributes, whether it can continue to be a currency depends on "consensus". When more and more people recognize that a certain item can be used as a "currency", its value will increase sharply from "item" attributes to resist the dilution of "currency" (trading medium) issued arbitrarily by fiat currency. This is
