This November has been the market’s very own horror movie. US equities, gold, and crypto all plunged together, and even the most risk-averse investors started questioning life. Meanwhile, the wave of liquidations swept through leverage traders across every platform.An investor says:On days like today, l'm glad l'm diversified across stocks, gold and bitcoin because it allows me to lose money in three totally different ways,You’ve probably heard famous “7-2-1 Rule.”Only 10% make money in the stock market. 20% break even. 70% lose money.And with the volatility we saw this November, it felt like the market was designed specifically to torture that “70%.”Despite all this, investors confidently enter the stock market.It’s only after losing money that they regret it, saying, “I shouldn’t have tr
If you follow me, you know I'm not a Tesla fanboy. But let's face facts, Tesla has basically unlimited capital until it doesn't. But let's look at the broader picture of the Elon musk empire. Beginning with spacex, well it's the undisputed leader in launch, falcon nine is a machine on steroids, but $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ new neutron could eventually be a better option. In like five years. And while starship is very impressive, well it just keeps blowing up, while blue origin, granted smaller rocket, but its now had one success after one failure. For me though there is plenty of room for all three, given the potential market for launch going forward. But it will be heavily influenced by action over hype. I'm not convinced that a strategy of b
So, ive been doing a lot of DD on $Eos Energy Enterprises Inc.(EOSE)$ over the last few weeks. Basically it’s a battery manufacturing company in the USA. They make zinc batteries at scale now in America. Unlike lithium batteries that Tesla use that are imported from china, zinc batteries don’t have a fire risk, or a lot of other cost issues. Their products are old school but modernized to be cheap and more efficient than lithium. So perfect with a serious competitive advantage over other power storage options, particularly regarding solar and wind power storage solutions. So I’m 100% in on their products, and their potential competitor advantage. But sadly that’s where it ends. Their past financials are terrible. Their ability to get favorable bor
NVDA Retreat Deepens: Earnings Test Looms as 181-189 Range Signals Volatility
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ closed at $186.60 (-1.88%), down from Friday's $190.17, extending its decline to 12.1% from the recent peak of $212.19, signaling continued weakness ahead of crucial earnings.Core Market Drivers: Institutional repositioning intensifies as major funds including Bridgewater (-65.3%) and Peter Thiel's fund (complete exit) drastically reduced NVDA holdings in Q3; Meanwhile, AI bubble concerns mount as short interest reached 8.14% of float, reflecting growing skepticism about AI trade sustainability.Technical Indicator Analysis: Trading volume of 174M shares remained below average with volume ratio at 0.94, indicating lackluster buying interest; RSI likely hovering around oversold territory suggests potential bounce, but MACD bearish mom
Below is a concise, professional take — within a market-commentary tone and aligned with your SG-UK English preference. --- 1. Was last week’s Nvidia sell-off a dangerous sign? Not necessarily. The pullback looked more like pre-earnings de-risking than a structural reversal. After a year of sharp gains, funds often trim positions ahead of binary events. However, it does reflect heightened sensitivity to valuations — expectations are extremely high, and even a “good” report may not be enough if guidance is soft. 2. Can Nvidia beat as usual and lift the market? Yes — operationally, Nvidia has a strong track record of beating both revenue and EPS, and demand for AI accelerators remains solid. If data-centre growth stays above market expectations and supply constraints ease, another beat is ve

What Institutional Moves In Tech Mean For Investors
🌟🌟🌟Recent shifts in institutional portfolios such as $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ new investment in $Alphabet(GOOG)$ and Bridgewater and Citigroup's reduction in $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ holdings, do not signal a uniform sentiment towards the tech sector. In actual fact these institutional moves reflect their diverse and sometimes conflicting strategies. As a small retail investor, these moves offer me valuable insights but I would weigh these moves against my personal investment goals and risk tolerance, rather than follow blindly. How to Interpret In
Can Nvidia (NVDA) Make A Massive Beat -> Bullish Breakout?
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ is expected to deliver another quarter report (scheduled for November 19, 2025) of substantial growth, driven almost entirely by its dominance in the AI data center market with the ramp-up of its Blackwell GPU Nvidia Q3 FY2026 Earnings Analysis Nvidia is expected to deliver another quarter of substantial growth, driven almost entirely by its dominance in the AI data center market with the ramp-up of its Blackwell GPU architecture.architecture. The expectations are extremely high, which means the company not only needs to beat these headline numbers but also provide strong forward-looking guidance to satisfy investors.

CoreWeave’s Backlog Is Not a Mirage — It Could Fuel a Generational Rise
CoreWeave’s backlog isn’t a sales forecast — it’s a revenue conveyor belt. And the striking thing, at least to me, is how few investors seem to grasp just how defensible that makes the business. This isn’t a polite queue of potential buyers; it’s a multi-year commitment from companies that literally cannot operate without the infrastructure $CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ provides. With revenue already growing at triple-digit rates and the AI infrastructure market still starved of supply, the backlog behaves less like future interest and more like revenue scheduled for arrival. In a sector where demand keeps sprinting ahead of supply, that’s as close to structural inevitability as you get. Where demand outruns supply, inevitability becomes the real advant
From my point of view, Alibaba $Alibaba(BABA)$ $Alibaba(09988)$ rolling out the upgraded Qwen model to take on ChatGPT is definitely a positive catalyst, especially since the market has been rewarding anything tied to AI. A 5% pre-market jump shows how hungry investors are for signs that Chinese tech giants can stay competitive in the global AI race. For me, the key isn't just the model itself, but whether Alibaba can integrate Qwen across its vast ecosystem — e-commerce, cloud, and enterprise services — to translate hype into real revenue. That said, I'm still cautious about simply extrapolating U.S.-style AI valuations to A
Bitcoin Wipes Out 2025 Gains: Is a Bigger Storm Coming Before the Next Rally? Bitcoin’s $Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF(BTC)$ October breakout above $126,000 now feels like a distant memory. In just weeks, BTC has suffered one of its sharpest reversals of the cycle — at one point wiping out all 2025 gains and erasing roughly $600B in market cap. For a market known for volatility, even seasoned investors were caught off guard by the speed of this decline. But beneath the price action, something more important is unfolding. 1️⃣ Retail confidence is collapsing Retail traders — the same group that often fuels parabolic tops — are now pulling out early. Bitwise CIO Matthew Hougan highlighted that retail sentiment is “very weak” and many fea

Market colour: Geely's profit jumps, management positive on uncertain 2026
📢Yesterday after market, Geely reported a 59% jump to 3.8 billio yuan in its 3Q net income 📈The income jump was driven by their ongoing discount campaign that turbo-charged sales even as China's regulator has stepped up scrutiny on price wars. 🎽Geely’s robust performance contrasts with BYD, its biggest rival, which has seen profit slump in the past two quarters. 💭While Chinese authorities have tried to rein in unreasonable price cuts, Geely and peers have persisted with offering different forms of incentives to stimulate sales. 💰In early Nov for example, Geely launched a rebate of up to 15,000 yuan to make up for the scaling back of an electric vehicle purchase tax break from the start of 2026 (Bloomberg) ⛈Looking forward, the Chinese auto industry may face uncertainties given the winding
$TSLA showed relative strength today closing up +1.13% despite the S&P500 closing down -0.92%. This is a near term positive development. Although this wasn’t the ideal close for TSLA (late external sell pressure coming in preventing a close at HOD) we have to acknowledge Tesla’s relative strength. Would like to see this relative strength continue. During the April Tariff Crisis, TSLA showed strong relative strength holding the low $200s despite the broader market sharply selling off. This was likely due to TSLA selling off during all of Q1 2025, so by the April Tariff Crisis, sellers were most likely exhausted. Just in November, TSLA sharply sold off from $474.04 the $382.78. So far, last week’s sharp reversal higher off the lows and today’s moderate follow through higher even with a b
Here’s a detailed look at whether Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) might now serve as a “safe-haven” stock, the plausibility of a US $300 price target in 2025, and how its 2025 comeback is shaping up — all in the context of your interest and from a conservative, data-driven viewpoint. --- 1. Is GOOGL a safe-haven stock? Arguments in favour Alphabet is a large, diversified business: search, advertising, cloud, YouTube, Autonomous (Waymo) etc. That gives it multiple revenue streams, which is a feature of more resilient stocks. Institutional interest is strong: For example, Berkshire Hathaway initiated a large ~US$4.3 billion stake in Q3 2025. The company has shown earnings strength. For instance, in Q1 2025 Alphabet beat expectations with high revenue growth in several segments. With its si
The Australian sharemarket suffered its second-biggest drop this year on Tuesday as investors erased $60 billion in value on growing anxiety about chip giant Nvidia’s upcoming results and concerns that interest rates in the US won’t fall soon.Losses accelerated in afternoon trading with the S&P/ASX 200 Index closing down 167.3 points, or 1.9%, to 8469.1, the lowest level since late June.
