【Livestream Clip 2|Selina Han: Meta's Ads Are Improving, But Is Its AI Spend Worth It】

【LIVESTREAM RECAP|2026 Q2 Earnings Review: Big Tech, AI CapEx & Why Tech Stocks Pulled Back】 Hi Tigers! In this session we took a deep dive into Big Tech's 2026 Q2 earnings, AI CapEx, and why tech stocks pulled back in late July. The flow was clear: first the macro timeline from late July into August (FOMC, payrolls, CPI, Jackson Hole), then a company-by-company read of Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and Apple with their AI spend, and finally the big question everyone's asking — why did stocks fall even when earnings were strong?

【Livestream Clip 2|Selina Han: Meta's Ads Are Improving, But Is Its AI Spend Worth It】
TOPJerry Lam: My biggest gain is: the key to Meta now is not whether AI is useful, but whether AI investment can be turned into profit fast enough. The improvement of advertising business shows that AI recommendation and advertising tools have begun to produce practical results, which is more important than simply talking about model capabilities. But on the other hand, Meta's capital expenditures and expenses are also rising rapidly, and if revenue growth can't keep up with depreciation, computing power and infrastructure costs, the market will re-question the rate of return sooner or later. So I will focus on three things: advertising conversion rate, revenue increase brought by AI, and whether free cash flow can be improved again. As long as these three continue to cash in, huge Capex is more like an investment; If cash flows are consistently swallowed up, that goes from a "growth story" to a "cost story". Bottom line: Meta has proved that AI can help it sell more advertisements. The next step to prove is whether the money earned by these advertisements can outperform the money burned by AI.

【Livestream Clip 1|Selina Han: Why Microsoft Has the Clearest AI Monetization Path】
TOPJerry Lam: My biggest gain is: looking at AI giants now, we can't just look at how big Capex is, but who turns Capex into revenue and cash flow first. Microsoft is relatively easier to understand, because Copilot, Azure, Teams and Outlook themselves have mature enterprise customers and payment channels. AI is not looking for a business model from scratch, but directly increasing the customer unit price and stickiness in the original ecology. This also explains why "strong earnings but falling stock price" is not contradictory. The market has gone from "who dares to spend money on AI" to the stage of "who can prove that the money spent is rewarded", and then superimposing interest rates and crowded positions, it is no longer enough to simply exceed expectations. Bottom line: The next stage of AI investment is not the scale of Capex, but the speed of realization and free cash flow.

Berkshire ending 14 straight quarters of net selling is definitely worth watching. It could be an early sign that the most cautious money in the market is starting to regain confidence. I don’t see it as an all-out bullish signal, but capital is clearly rotating back into AI, semiconductors and infrastructure. CoreWeave, SMCI and Lumentum also show that investors are increasingly looking beyond quarterly revenue and focusing on backlogs, long-term contracts and future cash flows. The big question now isn’t whether money is coming back — it’s which companies can actually turn that capital spending into sustainable profits. Valuations still matter, especially after the strong AI rally we’ve already seen. For me, this is a reason to stay invested but remain selective, rather than chase every

I think the 25% residual-value guarantee is both the foundation and the biggest risk of the deal. It gives lenders confidence to finance massive GPU deployments, but the real question is whether these chips will still have meaningful value when the loans mature in 3–5 years. I’m encouraged by the fact that older $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ GPUs like the A100 are still being used, while CUDA keeps extending the useful life of existing hardware. But unlike cars or aircraft, there isn’t a mature secondary market for obsolete GPUs, so depreciation risk remains difficult to price. For me, the structure is bullish for AI infrastructure in the near term, but I wouldn’t treat the

TOPNancyZhang: That 25% backstop only works if GPU resale stays liquid, and 3 to 5 years is forever in this cycle. CUDA helps, but hardware decay usually outruns software lock-in.

Biotech hit the headlines

Disclaimer: Nothing I say or post should be considered financial advice. Please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions.‌ $Moderna, Inc.(MRNA)$ $Merck(MRK)$ Merk and Moderna absolutely ripped on the news of discovery of an antibody that have a breakthrough in cancer therapy. Its been a long time since we last saw such a huge upside move for biotech companies. I myself is a Registered Nurse by training. So seeing a medical company doing well warms my heart. However, investors who are looking to ride this bullish wave be careful. What goes up usually will come down. When it’s going to retrace nobody knows. So set your goals and stick to the plan if you are trading these stocks. @Paws

$Alibaba(BABA)$  Just finish listening to the ER half an hour ago. These are my initial thoughts with a glance through the numbers: 1) it's suprisingly a positive release imo. For the first time, they're not behind peers in the industry. E-commerce top line is more or less in line or slightly outperforming & profitability somewhat maintained. 2) Cloud PaaS business is now profitable finally contributing to group margins after multi-decade subsidies. Only drawback is AI application expenses actually outpaced the margins from PaaS business. But AI application is actually growing extremely fast triple digit & crucial to the PaaS long term business. That's the whole model. I consider this development positive. In comparison, Tencent seems

Two Day Roller Coaster: Moderna (MRNA) Deep Fundamental & Outlook Analysis

The Coming-of-Age from "Pandemic Stock" to "mRNA Platform Titan" August 21, 2026 On August 19, $Moderna, Inc.(MRNA)$ 's stock price skyrocketed 177% in a single session, surging from $62.96 to $174.38. On August 20, it plummeted 23.6% to $133.32. Over the two days, the cumulative gain still stood at 111.7%, but $16.4 billion in market cap evaporated in a single day. This roller-coaster was not driven by a fundamental reversal, but rather by violent repricing of the mRNA platform's value by capital markets. For Moderna, August 2026 marks its official coming-of-age—from a "COVID beneficiary stock" to a "diversified mRNA platform company." For the XBI and broader biotech sector, it serves as a textbook demonstration of "sentiment contagion" and "risk
Two Day Roller Coaster: Moderna (MRNA) Deep Fundamental & Outlook Analysis
TOP苏36: Moderna’s 2026 transformation is bigger than a one-day stock rally. The 177% surge followed by a 23.6% pullback shows how aggressively markets are repricing its mRNA platform. The real catalyst is mRNA-4157’s Phase 3 success, potentially opening a multibillion-dollar personalized cancer-vaccine market. Yet investors should separate platform potential from valuation reality. Moderna still burns billions annually, while COVID revenue continues to decline. At $133, expectations for rapid oncology commercialization are already high. The bull case is compelling: successful cancer-vaccine approval could create a new growth engine beyond respiratory vaccines. The bear case is equally clear: manufacturing complexity, competition and delayed profitability could expose the stock to another sharp correction. In my view, Moderna is no longer simply a “COVID vaccine stock.” It has become a high-risk, high-reward bet on whether mRNA can evolve into a true multi-disease therapeutic platform.

Navigating Market Divergence: Stock Sell-Offs, Crypto Resilience, Tightening Big Tech Debt, and Portfolio Positioning

In this article we analyse whether this cross-asset divergence signifies a broader institutional shift toward risk assets or a specific tactical allocation into non-sovereign stores of value.

The Machine Economy: Evaluating the Near-Term Reality and Risk Vectors of AI and Bitcoin Convergence

In this article we would like to share what are our thoughts of the topic. Our analysis concludes that while foundational building blocks will achieve operational maturity in the near term (1–3 years), widespread global adoption will proceed through a bifurcated timeline. Sub-narratives such as AI agent micro-payments on Lightning and energy grid co-optimization are set to see immediate adoption in niche developer, open-source, and cloud-compute ecosystems. However, full-scale macroeconomic integration faces significant derailment risks. Key structural catalysts include the deployment of open-source agent frameworks (e.g., $Block, Inc.(XYZ)$ Block’s Goose and Buzz), multi-party signature identity standards, and energy load balancing. Conversely, fi

Why Walmart’s 9% Drop Exposed the Limits of Its Defensive Reputation

$Wal-Mart(WMT)$ is usually treated as one of the stock market’s safest consumer businesses: when household budgets tighten, shoppers often trade down to its stores. Its fiscal second-quarter report challenged that assumption. Revenue and e-commerce grew, and management raised its annual forecast, yet US comparable sales slowed enough to suggest that even Walmart cannot escape pressure from fuel costs and cautious consumers. Walmart logo with Consumer Staples background Walmart reported on August 20 for the quarter ended July 31. Revenue increased 5.9% to $187.94 billion, adjusted earnings reached $0.81 per share and global e-commerce sales grew 23%. Operating profit rose 28.8% to approximately $9.4 billion.

The most valuable takeaway for me is that retail investors have structural advantages that are often overlooked. Unlike professional fund managers, we are not tied to short-term performance targets, redemption pressure or strict investment mandates. This gives us the freedom to build a portfolio around our own goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. I also found the discussion about cash, turnover and momentum particularly useful. Holding cash provides flexibility during volatility, but excessive cash can create a significant opportunity cost. At the same time, blindly “buying the dip” is not always the best strategy, especially when negative momentum continues. Ultimately, good investing is not just about picking great companies. It requires disciplined portfolio management, emotional co

You're Not Trading. You're Underwriting. | Tiger Seminar

Most people meet options by buying one. It expires worthless, and that is the end of the story. Somebody was on the other side of that contract. That side is not a trade in the usual sense — it is closer to writing a policy. You accept an obligation, you get paid up front, and then you carry it. On Wednesday 26 August I am speaking at Tiger Brokers' Singapore office about what that actually involves. What I will cover: - The wheel, worked end to end with round numbers: cash-secured puts through to covered calls, and what actually happens when you get assigned - Diagonal call spreads as a lower-capital alternative — and why lower capital means leverage, not a free lunch - Where the carry genuinely comes from, and why time decay is only part of the answer - The honest shape of a premium-sell
