AMD Beats Yet Drops: High Valuation, Sell the News?
$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) delivered what initially looked like a strong third-quarter report — a classic “beat” on both revenue and earnings. Yet the stock’s reaction told a different story. Shares fell nearly 5% in after-hours trading as the market parsed through cautious forward guidance and weaker-than-expected data center results. It’s a familiar story for high-growth tech names in 2025: even when they deliver headline beats, investors demand more. Expectations around artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, server accelerators, and data center market share have risen so dramatically that even robust performance can disappoint when future guidance doesn’t reflect “Nvidia-level” ambition. The question
Top mover alert: UOB drops more than 4% at open, DBS up more than 2% to new record high on results
📢This morning before market open, both $DBS(D05.SI)$ and UOB announced their 3Q25 earnings 🔻UOB: stock fell as much as 4.6% to $33.25 this morning after the bank said that it took SGD 615 million general credit allowances to cushion against broader banking sector headwinds given the US and China real estate risks, which led to its 3Q net income tumbling 72% to SGD 443 million, far below the SGD 2.27 billion average estimates of Bloomberg analysts 📊UOB's results contrast with that of DBS, which posted higher than expected profit of SGD 2.95 billion which despite falling 2% from the previous year, was ahead of the SGD 2.79 billion predicted by Bloomberg analysts 💰Particularly, its wealth fees surged more than 30% to SGD 796 million, while assets u
As at today’s date, there is insufficient public information to reliably project an exact end-date for the current shutdown. Historically, shutdowns only end when one (not both) of these conditions tips first: (a) political pain > political benefit; (b) market stress transmits clearly into funding conditions or polling. At the moment, this shutdown has indeed crossed into the zone where liquidity narratives become relevant — Treasury cash-management, T-bill auctions, and dealer positioning can all begin to leak into equity sentiment if the impasse continues in the same manner for another couple of auction cycles. Pullback interpretation Based on market structure signals rather than headlines: US large-caps are still trading nearer the upper half of their 3-month value areas. Volatility
In strict financial terms, the probability of Tesla compounding to an USD 8.5-trillion market capitalisation within ten years is not zero — but it is extremely low under present observable fundamentals. To illustrate scale: USD 8.5T ≈ almost 4× Apple today, and effectively implies Tesla becomes larger in value — alone — than the current combined value of the entire S&P 500 information technology sub-sector ex-Nvidia. The commercial leap required This is not merely “sell more cars”. It assumes Tesla becomes an AI-platform monopoly with: global Level-5 autonomy deployed at scale and adopted by regulators robotaxi network profit margins akin to dominant digital platforms (not car OEM margins) mass-market general-purpose humanoid robotics with unit economics that exceed today’s industrial
At this juncture, 2026 does not look “harsh” in an existential sense — but it does look structurally less generous than 2023–24. The 2023–2024 cycle was effectively the peak-NIM yield harvest effect of the post-pandemic rate shock. We are now sliding down the normalisation curve. Observations 1) DBS remains in the “resilient balance-sheet” cohort Their Q3 surprised on the upside because they have a materially higher CASA proportion, better treasury income contribution, and better operating leverage. Even with NIM compression from 2.11 → 1.96, they are still printing a very strong RoE profile. 2) UOB’s issue is not merely “lower NIM” The sharp drop in reported Q3 profit is magnified by the credit-provision swing. That is the greater signalling variable, because it implies that UOB’s credit
$TSLA (NOV 6, 2025-daily) Over the past few months (April to June), I steadily increased $TSLA my position from $230 to $320, sharing every step with my Tier 3 subscribers—even as some grew skeptical, questioning why I was “wasting time” on this apparent laggard while my accumulation phase neared completion. Having worked alongside whales in the past, I’ve seen their playbook firsthand: they typically spend 3 to 12 months quietly accumulating—buying dips, shaking out weak hands, reloading and reshuffling—before the eventual surge. If patience isn’t your strength, that’s fine—just follow the big accounts charging triple-digit fees and park your capital in $QQQ and $SPY as “core” holdings, like they advise everyone else on their patreons.

Molten Momentum: Why IMSR Isn’t Just Nuclear—It’s the AI Apocalypse’s Ark
In a world where ChatGPT’s descendants guzzle gigawatts like teenagers chug energy drinks, and climate Cassandras wail about fossil fumes choking the skies, enter IMSR: not your grandfather’s Three Mile Island relic, but a sleek, salt-simmering sorcerer poised to alchemize atomic dread into digital divinity. Terrestrial Energy’s Integral Molten Salt Reactor isn’t merely a power plant—it’s the unsung architect of an “Energetic Enlightenment,” a paradigm where nuclear’s phoenix rise doesn’t just green the grid; it supercharges the singularity. Forget timid transitions; IMSR is the radical reboot, turning existential energy entropy into exponential abundance.

DeMark Indicator - Market Selloffs & AI vs. Everything? Read On!
We have seen sell-offs this week, and market are still showing AI versus everything, I think this could pose a problem, I wrote an article at around 08 October 2025 on DeMark indicator, so I would like to revisit what this indicator could be telling us. In this article, we would like to discuss DeMarker indicator (often “DeM”), what it signals, and whether it suggests another possible sell-off in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite markets. Here is a breakdown of how the indicator works, its limitations, and a reasoned view of what it might be signalling in the current environment (but not a guarantee of future movement). What Is The DeMarker Indicator And How Is It Used Definition & mechanics: The DeMarker indicator was developed by Thomas DeMark (Tom DeMark). It is an oscillator tha
Big Vote Ahead for Elon Musk: What Tesla’s Chart Is Signaling
What’s Going On with Tesla and Elon Musk’s Pay? Tesla shareholders will be voting on November 6, 2025 to decide whether to approve a new pay deal for Elon Musk — a package that could be worth up to one trillion US dollars if Tesla hits some huge goals. Why This Is Such a Big Deal It’s the biggest pay package ever offered to a CEO. If it goes through, Musk’s ownership in Tesla could grow to around a quarter of the company, which means other shareholders will own a smaller slice. Some investors and experts think it gives Musk too much power and not enough checks and balances. A similar plan worth US$56 billion was already thrown out by a court last year for being unfair. The Tesla board has hinted that if this new deal doesn’t pass, Musk might walk away — which worries investors. Why the Vot
