1. $BIDU-SW(09888)$ Baidu’s $BIDU massive 15% pop on the first day of 2026 could be the harbinger of great things to come.

The Hang Seng Tech Index $HSI(HSI)$ jumped 23.5% in 2025. Yet it still trades at about 19X PE as reflected in $KraneShares Hang Seng TECH Index ETF(KTEC)$ That compares with 34X for the Nasdaq $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ . Even if the Hang Seng Tech Index manages to close 50% of that ridiculous valuation gap, it means a 40% upside.And with so much money pouring into Hong Kong from both the mainland (Stock Connect) and overseas looking to get in on the hottest IPOs, money will naturally find its way to where there is value to be found.

To all those calling the end of China's NEV growth, take a good look at this chart.Less than 10% of the total number of cars on China's roads are classified as New Energy Vehicles (NEVs).If China were to announce a ban on new ICE vehicles from the market, NEV sales would nearly double overnight.And if it were to announce an outright ban on ICE vehicles in the country, well, you get the picture.Not saying they will do that. But if China wanted to boost economic growth, this would certainly be an option.Yes, China's NEV sales are slowing after years of torrid growth. But it's merely taking a breather. $BYD Co., Ltd.(BYDDF)$$XPeng Inc.(XPEV)$$Geely Automobile Holdin
Silver Miners Underperform as Market Bets Spike Won’t Last
The reason silver miners are no longer outperforming silver itself recently is because of the perception that the current spike will not last long enough for miners to take advantage since it takes years to ramp up production or build a new mine. We will need to see sustained higher silver prices before these miners see another re-rating upwards. If silver is able to maintain 70 in 1Q26, it will likely trigger another big rally in silver miners.Owning shares of silver ETFs like $Sprott Physical Silver Trust(PSLV)$ may seem like a lazy and conservative way to gain exposure to the metal. But it proves its worth at times when shares of silver miners and streamers seem to have hit a wall after rallying ahead of silver prices. Today is a perfect exampl
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ ’s annual free cash flow. This saw a big surge in TTM as of 3Q25 to $6.8B. But at 235X P/FCF, it needs to grow FCF by 50% per year for the next five years to be even close to reasonably valued (ie 30X P/FCF).A lot of this hinges on the execution of Elon’s Robotaxi vision. “We estimate the AI and autonomous opportunity is worth at least $1 trillion alone for Tesla,” said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives.While it’s not clear what “a $1 trillion opportunity” means exactly, Tesla cannot afford any mistakes in order to justify its current stratospheric valuations.
