Palantir’s Skyrocketing Stock May Be Headed for a Historic Fall
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ When Great Stories Meet Greater Valuations Palantir Technologies has morphed from a polarizing defense-and-data contractor into 2025’s poster child for AI-fueled software exuberance. The company’s second-quarter print was objectively strong—revenue accelerated, margins expanded, free cash flow surged, and guidance stepped higher. But the stock’s rally has been even stronger. Palantir is among the year’s top performers in the major indices, and that outperformance has invited a new wave of skeptics who argue that price has sprinted far ahead of fundamentals. Notably, famed short-seller Andrew Left of Citron Research has publicly disclosed a bearish position, warning that the stock’s current valuation leaves room f

Last week’s market trend was close to what I expected, with the Russell 2000 showing stronger momentum than the S&P 500. It seems investors are rotating into underperforming areas while big tech takes a breather. Retail sales data also confirmed U.S. consumers remain resilient, though inflation worries are creeping back. This week, my main focus is Xiaomi’s $XIAOMI-W(01810)$ earnings. Beyond smartphones, its EV business is drawing attention, and I’ll be watching whether both segments can beat expectations. With sentiment already high, the numbers and guidance will be key to the stock’s next move. I believe this report could also set the tone for other Chinese tech stocks in the near term. Overall, I think stock picking matters more than ch

CoreWeave Stock Plunges—A Golden Buying Opportunity or Warning Sign?
$CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ Introduction: When Hypergrowth Meets Hard Math CoreWeave has been the darling of the AI infrastructure boom—one of a handful of “AI hyperscalers” able to put scarce Nvidia accelerators to work at staggering scale. Since its March IPO at $40 a share, the stock sprinted ahead on breathtaking revenue growth, swelling backlog, and the promise of multi-year, capacity-constrained demand from frontier model labs and enterprises. Then August arrived. A wider-than-expected GAAP loss, eye-watering interest expense, and a mammoth capex plan converged with a lock-up expiry and a wave of insider supply. The shares cracked—falling double digits around earnings and then sliding further as early holders sold more than $1 billion of stock.

eToro Group Stock Plummeted. Is Crypto Trading Weakening—or Is the Market Overreacting?
$eToro Group Ltd.(ETOR)$ eToro Group’s first summer as a newly public company has been anything but boring. After an eagerly watched U.S. listing in May at $52 per share, the social trading pioneer delivered a headline-beating second quarter—but the stock promptly slid, dropping ~8% on the day and dipping below its IPO price before stabilizing in the high $40s. The sell-off sparked a predictable question for investors: is this the first crack in the retail-trading renaissance, led by crypto enthusiasm, or simply a textbook bout of post-earnings volatility amplified by cautious guidance? Recent filings and coverage suggest a nuanced picture: operational momentum remains intact, but the market is repricing expectations for the pace—and mix—of tradin

The Dollar’s Dilemma: Why the World Is Quietly Moving Away From America’s Reserve Currency
$US DOLLAR CASH "A" USD ACC(LU0261952922)$ $S&P 500(.SPX)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ For nearly eight decades, the U.S. dollar has stood unrivaled as the world’s reserve currency. It lubricates global commerce, anchors central bank reserves, and acts as the primary unit of account for trade settlements. Yet, in 2025, the pillars underpinning dollar dominance appear less certain than ever. From China’s quiet push for local currency trade, to rising inflation fueled by tariffs, to foreign investors cutting exposure to U.S. assets—the world’s relationship with the greenback is shifting. This transformation is not a sudden crisis but a steady erosion of confid

$CLSK CALENDAR 250815/250829 PUT 12.0/PUT 12.0$ Rolling this expiring short puts further out by 2 weeks to buy some time. Strike remained at $12 as it's far in the money so very little premium collection and most price is for intrinsic value. This is only to delay assignment as I've already took up another batch and is selling covered call with similar strike of $12. If CLSK goes above $12 by Aug, then these trades will be nicely netted off, but likely it's not, so more trade management is needed. Price is weak despite relatively high BTC pricing. Guess the premiums assigned to these companies are eroding.

PayPal Stock: From Market Darling to Value Play — Is Now the Time to Buy PYPL?
$PayPal(PYPL)$ PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: PYPL) has experienced one of the most dramatic sentiment shifts of any large-cap fintech in recent memory. Once considered a symbol of digital payment disruption, PayPal saw its stock soar to record highs in 2021, only to collapse more than 70% over the following years. Today, shares trade at valuation multiples that suggest PayPal is no longer a growth darling, but instead a potential value opportunity. The key question for investors is whether PayPal’s current discounted price represents a buying opportunity for patient, long-term holders—or if it is simply a value trap in an increasingly competitive payments landscape. Performance Overview and Market Feedback To understand the present investment case, it’

Options Fun Fact: Why Dividents Hurt Call Buyers | #OptionsHandbook EP022
When earnings season ends, big companies start paying dividends. Shareholders are happy to collect cash—but Call option holders are not.🤔 📒 In The Options Handbook, here’s how it’s broken down: ▶ Calls Don’t Pay Dividends 💸 Owning a Call option doesn’t make you a shareholder, so you don’t receive the dividend payout. ▶ Ex-Dividend Day Drops The Stock Price 📉 On the ex-dividend date, the stock price usually falls by the dividend amount. That directly reduces the intrinsic value of Calls. For Example, a Call worth $3 might drop to just $2 after ex-dividend. To avoid this, traders may either exercise early or skip buying Calls right before dividends. ▶ Why Tiger App Marks Dividend & Earnings Date

General Mills Stock Plummeted — Tariff Problems and Weak Demand? More Challenges Ahead?
$General Mills(GIS)$ General Mills’ shares have taken investors on a rocky ride this year. Once a bedrock of defensive, dividend-oriented portfolios, the maker of Cheerios, Nature Valley bars and a host of pantry staples is now wrestling with falling volumes, downgraded guidance and renewed questions about whether structural changes in consumer behavior and a volatile macro backdrop will permanently dent its growth profile. This article walks through the performance shock, what management says, the company’s underlying cash-flow and balance-sheet dynamics, why tariffs and weak demand matter (and where they don’t), how the market is positioned, and—finally—an explicit verdict with an entry-price zone for long-term investors.

🔥📊💊 🔥📊💊 UnitedHealth: breakout setup vs collapsing fundamentals 💊
$UnitedHealth(UNH)$ I’m seeing $UNH at a pivotal inflection point where technicals, insider flows, and political headlines are colliding. The stock surged to $304.01 (+11.98%) and held $306 overnight, breaking above the $302.68 Fibonacci pivot. That puts upside targets of $317.50, $322.70–$325, and ultimately $343–$361 on the table if momentum continues. From the Fibonacci structure: • Daily bottom: $248.58 • Support band: $265.53 → $282.47 (daily top) • Key pivot: $302.68 (current test zone) • Upside path: $317.50 (possible IHS shoulder) → $322.70–$325 (must hold to confirm) → $343.20 → $361.30 (monthly top) • Retest risk: $288.90 (gold band) Two scenarios dominate: 1. A bullish extension through $317.50 could complete an inverse head-and-sh
TOPThe $302.68 pivot you flagged is everything, and I like how you tied in the $317.50 and $325 break zones with the broader narrative. It’s the same setup we saw in $GS when the tape screamed higher while estimates trended lower, conviction has to be earned by price holding those levels. Thank you for an excellent write-up BC!

Unveiling Hidden Gems: Underrated Stocks Set to Surge This Week?
