Hedge fund algos start selling everything the moment one ticker misses on earnings, and the reaction is the whole market goes down. That is just ridiculous. $Western Digital(WDC)$ touched 400+ and was about to recover, then this happened. Now it has to crawl back up slowly again. The strange part is only chipmakers are posting spectacular earnings, yet they get dragged down too. $SK hynix(SKHY)$ $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ $Seagate Technology PLC(STX)$ are sold out on memory through 2028, and still we get to see them down. They are making billions, but retail isn't allowed to make a penny. What is the SEC
$Bloom Energy Corp(BE)$ Sandisk is performing well and just announced an 8-for-1 split, but the stock is still dropping because of Amazon and Intel? That doesn't make much sense.
There's a common payment misconception worth clearing up. If you buy an off-plan property and pay 10% across 4 tranches followed by 60% on handover, does that mean you're spending less than 100%? No. It's the same net amount, just split into different percentage payments. That's exactly what happened with capex here. $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ reported Q3 capex of $51.4B, below consensus but still up sequentially. Management kept its 2026 capex outlook at $195–205B and said 2027 capex would rise significantly. $Microsoft(MSFT)$ reported capex including finance leases of $45.2B, below expectations partly because some third-party capacity deliveries were delayed. Management expected Q2 capex above $50B
$Xenetic Biosciences Inc(XBIO)$ The upcoming transaction with Santerus could create a serious biotech player in NET targeting. This one has a bit of an MRNA feel to it.
$Netlist, Inc.(NLST)$ $SK hynix(SKHY)$ Chuck Hong should strike while the iron is hot and get the SK deal done. I know he reads these comments and sees that hope isn't lost here. With hope, you can cope.
$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares(SOXS)$ Price: $43.295 Volume: Average or below Catalyst: Semiconductor sector weakness amid renewed China export curbs and chip stock selloff is lifting this inverse ETF. Resistance: $46.80 Support: $40.50 Bull case: A break above $46.80 on rising volume could signal continued downside pressure in semis, pushing SOXS higher. Bear case: A relief rally in chip stocks could send SOXS back toward support at $40.50 or lower on light volume. What I'm watching: Watching for a volume spike to confirm direction before the next leg, since current volume remains average or below. Note: I'm not a financial advisor or a market predictor, and I don't offer any premium subscriptio
$SK hynix(SKHY)$ SK Hynix rallied on Tuesday amid reports that the memory-chip maker is preparing generous shareholder-return measures alongside its Q3 2026 earnings, scheduled for Wednesday. South Korean media outlet Dong-A Ilbo reported the company is considering a special dividend of approximately KRW 16 trillion ($12 billion), potentially financed largely through the sale of its stake in Japanese memory-chip manufacturer Kioxia. SK Hynix said it would provide further details on its shareholder-return plans with its results. The stock also got a lift from a broad overnight rebound in U.S. AI-related semiconductor shares, as Anthropic's IPO filing renewed investor confidence in sustained AI infrastructure investment. SK Hynix is expected to
$SpaceX(SPCX)$ Pretty confident we're going to see a big jump by the end of the week, with a low in the $170s and a move into the $180s. Just my humble opinion.
