[Earnings Recap] TSMC Beats Again. Is the Bar Getting Too High?
TSMC delivered a clear beat-and-raise quarter but fell with the broader chip sector. Charles Schwab also declined as a small net-interest-margin miss overshadowed record asset gathering. After the bell, rising costs hit J.B. Hunt, while Interactive Brokers’ dividend increase failed to produce a rally. $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ lost 1.8% TSMC is the world’s largest contract chipmaker and manufactures advanced processors for Nvidia, Apple and other technology companies. Third-quarter revenue jumped 41% to $46.72 billion, beating the $45.67 billion consensus. EPS of $4.60 per ADR topped the $4.46 estimate, while net income surged 69% to a record NT$763.1 billion.

🖤💗 BLINKFANS MARKET TALK: MY IAU PUT SCALPING JOURNAL — USING RSI TO READ GOLD, SILVER AND OIL! 🐱📈✨ Share Link
🖤💗 BLINKFANS MARKET TALK: MY IAU PUT SCALPING JOURNAL — USING RSI TO READ GOLD, SILVER AND OIL! 🐱📈✨ 🥇💛 1️⃣ Why Am I Trading IAU Puts? OMG BLINKS! 💖 Today, I want to share my trading experience with IAU, the iShares Gold Trust, and explain why I decided to scalp put options instead of simply buying gold and waiting for the price to rise. My trade involved the IAU $76 put expiring on 13 November 2026. Looking at my transaction history, I sold one contract at $1.30 on 14 October, bought one at $1.26, sold another at $1.30, and bought one back at $0.94 on 15 October. My strategy is to capture the decline in an option’s premium after selling it, provided I can close the position at a lower price. Rather than predicting the exact direction of gold for the next few weeks, I am looking for smaller
TOPnimbly: BLINKFANS as a label is hilarious lol. USO matters more than people think here — with IAU at 77.935 and calls running 2.54x puts, I care whether energy strength starts feeding the inflation read again

Binni Ong: Nikkei225 uptrend to be tested after yesterday's sharp pullback; key levels to watch
Yesterday, the $Nikkei 225 Index(N225.JP)$ made market headlines with a steep 4% loss in a single session. Nevertheless, market technician Binni Ong believes that the Nikkei’s broader uptrend structure remains intact notwithstanding the sharpness of yesterday’s index fall. 👩🏫Binni provides the various key levels of support and resistance to look out for in Nikkei225, as well as the trading opportunities using structured warrants: https://warrants.com.sg/marketnews/highlight/todayhighlight/7961 *This article is paid for by Macquarie Warrants Singapore.

JD’s Retail Recovery Is Improving — But Can Margins Catch Up?
JD’s Retail Recovery Is Improving — But Can Margins Catch Up? Hey Tigers 🐯! $$JD.com(JD$$ is heading into 3Q26 with a more complicated setup than the headline numbers suggest. US Tiger Securities expects JD’s core retail business to return to modest growth, supported by improving electronics and home-appliance demand and resilient general merchandise. But at the same time, the firm has cut its price target from $35 to $33 and lowered both 3Q and 4Q earnings estimates, with a much more cautious view on 4Q. That creates the key question for investors: Is JD entering a real earnings recovery — or just an early-stage revenue stabilization? The difference matters. Because right now, sales are improving faster than margins. 1️⃣ What Changed? US Tiger now expects JD to deliver: RMB308.3B in 3Q26
TOPJD’s biggest opportunity may lie in what the market is overlooking: the gap between a cheap valuation and sustainable earnings growth. At around $26.78, JD trades at just 7.2 times its revised 2027 earnings estimate. Yet a low multiple means little if margins keep deteriorating. The encouraging signs are real. Electronics demand is stabilizing, general merchandise remains resilient, and food-delivery losses are expected to narrow. But rising AI investment and fulfillment costs could absorb much of the operating leverage investors hope to see. My view: JD is a potential turnaround, not yet a confirmed recovery. The critical catalyst is not simply revenue growth, but whether each additional yuan of sales generates more profit. If margins stabilize while new-business losses shrink, today's valuation could prove too pessimistic. If not, JD may remain cheap for a reason. The opportunity is attractive only when improving fundamentals—not low multiples alone—justify the rerating.

🐶 1️⃣ Every Plunge Is an Opportunity — But Only If Earnings Can Hold Up for qqq SG61 Trading Arena for SGX Listed Securities!
📉🐶 Every Plunge Is an Opportunity? My Take on SOXL, TSMC and QQQ 🐶 1️⃣ Every Plunge Is an Opportunity — But Only If Earnings Can Hold Up When I see semiconductor stocks plunge, I don’t automatically assume the AI story is over. Sometimes, the market is simply repricing growth stocks because inflation is hotter than expected, interest rates may stay higher for longer, or investors are becoming nervous about how much money companies are spending on AI. But I always ask myself one important question: Are company earnings deteriorating, or is the market simply becoming more fearful? If earnings expectations remain strong, a sharp price decline can create an opportunity to buy quality companies at a more attractive valuation. However, if earnings forecasts are being cut, a stock can continue fa

The Great Tech Rotation: Comparing SPYG vs SPYV
🌟🌟🌟For the past 2 years, Wall Street behaved like a starstruck teenager. If an investment did not have "AI" tattooed on its prospectus, fund managers treated it like an old fashioned dial-up modem. We blindly worshiped at the altar of exponential growth, eagerly pricing tech giants as if they would effortlessly automate the universe instantly. But a funny thing happens when you price a stock for absolute perfection: the slightest speck of dust feels like a train wreck. Welcome to The Great Tech Rotation of 2026. The glitzy mega cap tech sector has just endured a staggering multi trillion dollar strategic retreat.

Anatomy of a Leveraged Semiconductor Selloff: Key Drivers Behind SOXL’s De-Risking and Potential Catalysts for Recovery
A single-day plunge of ~13% in the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (SOXL) illustrates the extreme structural amplification inherent in 3x daily leveraged ETFs. While major anchor components like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) may exhibit operational resilience, strong fundamentals alone cannot insulate the semiconductor sector during systemic market pullbacks. In this article, we would like to discuss what are the key drivers behind SOXL’s de-risking and potential catalysts for recovery. 1. The Leverage Architecture: Unpacking a 13% Single-Day Decline To comprehend a severe ~13% daily decline in SOXL, one must first dissect the structural mechanics of the underlying exchange-traded product.

The Market Is Paying AppLovin For 20% Growth. It Just Reported 52.8%. I'm Still Not Adding.
$AppLovin Corporation(APP)$ Mathematical Money | October 2026 Run AppLovin's valuation backwards and you get a precise answer. At Tuesday's close of $262.19, the price assumes free cash flow grows 20% a year for a decade. After that, 2.5% forever. The company reported revenue growth of 52.8% last quarter. A gap that size normally means something is badly mispriced. I own this one, I have been wrong on it all year, and I am still not adding — because three other numbers from the same analysis say the obvious conclusion is a trap. Here is the whole thing, including the checks you can run yourself. Check one: what growth is the price already assuming? Most people value a company forwards.

CPI Hits 3.7% — The Real Test for Tech Stocks Starts Now 📉
The problem isn’t just inflation. It’s the possibility that interest rates stay higher for longer just as investors are questioning expensive tech valuations. September’s US CPI rose to 3.7% year over year, up from 3.4% in August and above the 3.6% expected by economists. Core CPI also increased to 2.6% year over year, suggesting price pressures aren’t limited to energy. Following the report, the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.88%, while the S&P 500 dropped 1.11% on October 14.  So, what does this mean for tech investors? 🔍 1. Higher rates change how investors value growth Technology companies often derive a significant part of their valuation from profits expected years into the future. When interest rates rise, those future earnings become less valuable in today’s terms. This doesn’t mean

CXMT Targets Server Memory — Is the Market Selling First and Asking Questions Later? 📉
A new competitor can change an industry’s future without immediately changing its earnings. That distinction matters for memory stocks right now. $Micron Technology (MU)$, $SK Hynix$ and $SanDisk (SNDK)$ have come under pressure as China’s CXMT signals plans to enter the server DRAM market with a denser memory design. The sell-off reflects growing concerns about competition, pricing power and the sustainability of memory makers’ recent profits. But is the market looking too far ahead? 🔍 1. A technology announcement is not the same as mass production CXMT reportedly aims to introduce a DDR5 server memory product using a 4F² cell design by the end of 2026. The design could improve memory density, but several questions remain unanswered: • Can CXMT manufacture the chips reliably at commercial

The Nasdaq Just Fell 1.88% — Is This the Start of an AI Reality Check?
The market sell-off is getting harder to ignore. But is the bull market really over, or are investors finally questioning the price of the AI boom? 📉 What happened on Wednesday, 14 October? • $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ fell 1.88% to 26,692.87. • $S&P 500(.SPX)$ dropped 1.1%, while the Dow slipped just 0.09%. • $CoreWeave(CRWV)$ plunged around 15%. • $Oracle(ORCL)$ fell 8.8%. • $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and other semiconductor stocks came under pressure. The trigger was hotter-than-expected US inflation. September’s annual CPI rate rose to 3.7%, above economists’ expectations of 3.6%, raising concerns that the Federal Reserve could keep interest rates higher or tighten policy further. 📌 But inflation may not be the whole story.

🚨 Memory Stocks Are Getting Crushed — Is the Market Pricing in a Threat That Hasn’t Arrived Yet?
Micron, SK Hynix, SanDisk and Western Digital have come under pressure as investors reassess the memory sector. But is CXMT about to disrupt the industry, or is the market getting ahead of itself? 🇨🇳 What triggered the sell-off? China’s memory-chip maker CXMT has reported progress on a denser DRAM design known as 4F², with plans to introduce a DDR5 server memory module by the end of 2026. The design aims to reduce the memory cell’s footprint compared with conventional 6F² designs. If CXMT can manufacture it efficiently and at scale, it could eventually increase competition in the server memory market. That matters because memory prices and supply constraints have helped drive strong earnings across the industry. But there is an important distinction: announcing a technology milestone is no

Nvidia’s AI Partner Is in Trouble. Would a Rescue Help or Hurt?
$CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ plunged more than 15% as investors began asking a difficult question: Can the AI infrastructure boom survive the cost of financing itself? This is bigger than one stock falling. CoreWeave provides cloud computing infrastructure powered by Nvidia GPUs. It benefits from growing demand for AI computing, but building data centres requires enormous capital, expensive chips and substantial borrowing. Now, rising Treasury yields and growing concerns about debt are putting that business model under pressure. According to recent reports, CoreWeave’s debt burden exceeds $50 billion, while yields on some of its bonds have climbed towards distressed levels. At the same time, the company has reported a revenue backlog of $104.2 bil

Why Falling Yields Are Not Always Bullish The most important part of Wednesday's sell-off, for me, was not the red screen. It was the bond market. Inflation came in hotter than expected, yet Treasury yields reversed their initial rise and finished lower. That is a reminder that falling yields are not automatically good news for stocks. For Thursday, 15 October, my focus is on risk control and waiting for clearer price action. These are the decisions I am considering, not orders I have placed. I usually associate lower yields with some relief for growth stocks. But that depends on why yields are falling. If investors are seeking safety because they are worried about growth or credit, cheaper government borrowing does not necessarily translate into confidence in equities. The explanation mat

🚀 SpaceX’s AI Business Could Generate $26B a Year — More Than Its 2025 Revenue
Forget rockets for a moment. Elon Musk’s AI infrastructure business may be becoming one of the most important parts of the $SpaceX(SPCX)$ story. Two deals tell us why. 💰 Anthropic: $1.25 billion per month Anthropic agreed to use computing capacity at SpaceX’s Colossus data centre, giving its Claude AI business access to a massive Nvidia GPU cluster. 💰 Google: $920 million per month Google signed a multiyear agreement for access to approximately 110,000 Nvidia GPUs, along with CPUs, memory and related infrastructure.
