Credit vs Treasuries vs AI, which one is a better hedge against inflation?
Disclaimer: Nothing I say or post should be considered financial advice. Please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions. Are traders that much bullish now, they even suggest using AI related stocks as hedge against inflation? Is the usual approach of using commodities or bonds as hedge not working anymore? I definitely would not go all in on AI related stocks alone. They definitely make up a huge percentage of my portfolio. But it is always advisable to diversify with defensive, value focused stocks so that when the draw down happens, your portfolio will not fall like a falling knife. @PawsAndProfits - Specialist in combining FA and TA for Options selling and Swing trading.[666]
Tech driven market is in a bubble now? How much can it absorb before bursting?
Disclaimer: Nothing I say or post should be considered financial advice. Please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions. So the equity market is still defying all odds, continue to smash records after records in the start of October. Bulls are definitely in LaLaLand and laughing at their bears counterparts. However, majority of the main indices are made up of high capex spend, hyperscaler tech companies with humongous forward estimate ratios. So there is a saying: “Whatever that rise fast, will fall fast too.” With that, I definitely will take this continuous bull run with a cautious approach, hunting down stocks near their support levels or resistance levels to increase my trade probability.[Serious] @PawsAndProfits - Specialist in combining FA and TA for Options
Big tech companies are outpacing upcoming AI companies? Bull or Bear going into scariest month of the year for equities?
Disclaimer: Nothing I say or post should be considered financial advice. Please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions. So equities remain bullish going into start of October. Traditionally, last quarter of the year is a bear market. So will they succumb to tradition? or will it continue to shoot for the moon and break new highs? Big companies are seen as better investments as compared to upcoming hyped AI names such as Anthropic and OpenAI. I do agree with this as big companies have brand influence, better capital allocation and diversified revenue pathways. So as much as I enjoy and appreciate AI founding companies, I will not look to own any stocks until it proven its enormous forward valuations. The key is to diversify.
