Look Back, Trade Forward: August Reflection & September Positioning August 2026 delivered the best August for equities since 2021, with the S&P 500 (+2.7%) and Nasdaq-100 (+4.2%) powered by a semis recovery, software rebound, and commodity strength. However, beneath the surface, 5 of 11 sectors finished negative, the 30-year Treasury yield hit 5.34% (highest since 2007), and the probability of a September Fed rate hike surged to 67%. September brings a dense catalyst calendar — CPI on Sept 11, FOMC on Sept 15-16 with a dot plot, Treasury buybacks that began Sept 9, and a BoJ decision Sept 18 — against a backdrop of US-Iran tensions, Strait of Hormuz disruptions, and historically weak seasonality. Constructive but selective. Overweight AI infrastructure/semiconductors, Defense

Oil Back Above US$100, Diesel Cracks at a Record: What Do You Do With Energy Here?
On Thursday $Oracle(ORCL)$ closed 5.38 per cent lower at US$152.94, and only then reported. Its remaining performance obligations stand at US$664 billion, up from US$638 billion at the end of the previous quarter, a record. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ closed 0.58 per cent lower the same day, its fourth session in a row heading down and the longest such run since June. The order book set a record. The fall came before it. That US$664 billion is work signed, not money collected. To get the work done, Oracle's capital expenditure ran to about US$28.5 billion in the quarter against US$8.5 billion a year earlier; free cash flow came in at minus US$5.4 billion; and in the same fiscal qua

Margin 101 | 05 Same USD 10,000 order: why can the margin required differ so much between two stocks
Some users notice: I bought USD 10,000 of two different stocks — why did one tie up less margin than the other? Because securities differ in risk, volatility and liquidity, the applicable margin requirements may differ too.

After SK hynix, Kioxia Is Coming to U.S. Markets Too: Is AI Repricing the Storage Sector?
The storage sector is getting another major capital-markets catalyst. After SK hynix expanded its U.S. market presence, Japanese memory giant Kioxia is now reportedly planning a U.S. listing through ADSs. The goal is not simply to raise capital. Kioxia already trades in Japan. A U.S. listing would broaden its investor base, improve liquidity, and make the company much easier for global AI-focused funds to compare directly with names like Micron and SanDisk. That is what makes this story interesting. AI is starting to change how the market values storage companies. NVIDIA represents compute. SK hynix and Micron are closely tied to HBM. Kioxia is more exposed to NAND and enterprise SSDs. These are different businesses, but they are all benefiting from the same underlying force: AI data cente

Could Rate Hike Uncertainty Keep Markets Range-Bound? Three Ways to Track the Key Assets
Last night, in a futures livestream on the Tiger platform, I shared my latest views on the outlook for gold, Bitcoin, and offshore RMB amid expectations for higher interest rates.

$100 Oil, the new Norm? Crude oil has decisively broken back above $100 per barrel, driven by: A sharp escalation in fighting between US and Iranian forces. And collapse in tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. After months of relatively stable flows that kept prices in check, the market now faces a reality of sustained disruption, dwindling inventories, and limited room for supply to respond. Tanker traffic through the Strait has dropped from 6–9 million barrels daily (in August 2026) to below 2 million, with the renewed fighting. Recent reports also indicated that zero very large crude carrier has exited the Straits since 02 Sep 2026. With the latest news that 5 Iranian tankers have been destroyed by US and an Iranian’s counterstrike on US base in Jordan, quest for peace has just
Hello everyone! Today i want to share some trading ideas with you! 1 $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ is becoming a core piece of the robotaxi stack as autonomous fleets move into commercial scale. Every major robotaxi program operating at scale today is already using Nvidia across training, simulation and in-vehicle compute. 2 Ryan Cohen just put another ~$20M into $GameStop(GME)$ buying 1M shares at an average price of $20.38. The purchase takes his beneficial ownership to 8.5% of the company. 3 The Pentagon may be about to fund the AI buildout directly with a reported $5B loan to $Alphabet(GOOG)$ backed Fluidstack. That would push
10-Year Yields Being this High isn't Bullish I Know
10-Year Yields being this high isn't bullish I know. But it doesn't trump the fact that we have companies like $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ literally forecasting FY28 revenue to be 60% higher than the Street. Remember 30-Year Yields hit 5.09% in October 2023. Were people panicking about yields then? Yes. Have people now missed out on generational runs because their focus was on the wrong thing? Yes. Don't lose focus on the unfathomable numbers we're likely to see in FY27-FY29 because you're being distracted by this constant bearish yield narrative. I remain long and I'll be happy buying up some quality names if markets stay spooked about the macro.
My 2033 Take on Who the Largest 3 Companies in the World
My 2033 take on who the largest 3 companies in the world will be: 1. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$: Absurd growth still for a +$5T company. - FY28 revenue will be ~$680B - FY30 revenue I forecast to be ~$1.2T - $10T MC seems pretty reasonable based on that. 2. $Amazon.com(AMZN)$: - AWS should be generating ~$1T in revs by 2035. - Include everything else (e-comm, digital ads, subscriptions, stakes etc) - $6-8T MC for $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ is feasible 3. $Eli Lilly(LLY)$: - FY26 already ~$86B. Metabolic franchise can be $150B+ by early 2030s - GLP-1 cash funds the real product:
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$$Gold - main 2612(GCmain)$$XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ The current gold price is in a technical pattern characterized by a rebound from a bottom and wide-range volatility. On the H4 chart, the moving averages have formed a very standard and perfect bearish alignment. Even if gold prices rebound, the upside will be extremely limited, as the resistance zone at $4,345–$4,350 will act as an insurmountable barrier. A break below yesterday’s low of $4,311 will trigger a technical sell-off, with downside potential extending directly to $4,250 or even near $4,200. For today, firmly exe
