I remain positive on Apple’s $Apple(AAPL)$ long-term business, supported by its strong ecosystem, loyal customers and growing services segment. However, the weaker gross-margin outlook deserves attention, especially with rising memory costs potentially pressuring profitability. AI is another growth opportunity, but I want to see tangible results rather than just promising features. If Apple Intelligence can encourage iPhone upgrades and improve customer retention, it could create sustainable value over time. My approach is to remain patient and avoid chasing the stock after one strong earnings report. I will watch holiday demand, gross margins and services growth before making further decisions. Consistent earnings and cash flow matter more tha
Palantir Revenue +96%, Shares Slip: What Spooked Investors?
PLTR Earnings Breakdown | November 3, 2026 Hey Tigers!🐯 $Palantir(PLTR)$ delivered another quarter of extraordinary revenue growth—and investors still found a reason to hesitate. Third-quarter revenue reached $2.313 billion, up 96% year over year. Fourth-quarter guidance also exceeded market expectations. Yet shares fell nearly 3% in extended trading at Reuters’ reporting snapshot following the November 2 release. The concern was further down the earnings report: slower growth in signed contract value. My take: The operating performance supports Palantir’s growth story. The stock’s next sustained move will depend on how convincingly the company replenishes that growth through new business, renewals and expansion. 1 | The Quarter Wa
DBS, OCBC & UOB Fall Before Earnings: Buy the Dip?
Singapore Bank Earnings Watch | November 3, 2026 Hey Tiger🐯, Singapore’s three banking heavyweights started earnings week in the red. On November 2, OCBC fell 3.3%, DBS declined 1.9%, and UOB slipped 1.7%, while the Straits Times Index closed 1.4% lower at 5,303.83. The question for investors is whether this pullback offers a better entry price—or signals that expectations still need to adjust. The banks’ upcoming results will help answer that. As of November 3, their third-quarter updates have yet to be released. 1|Three Banks Down, Three Earnings Dates Ahead Closing prices: November 2, 2026. Results dates: 2026 calendars and announcements. The sequence creates three consecutive checkpoints for the sector. UOB’s update arrives first, followed by DBS and OCBC. Investors can compare managem
MRVL -12.7%, LITE -18.6%: Why Wall Street Sold the $115B AI Deal
Hey Tigers! 🐯 An AI megadeal should make an exciting headline. On November 2, it made a painful trading session: Marvell fell 12.7%, while Lumentum lost 18.6%. My take: the important question is whether the combined business can earn enough to justify what shareholders are giving up. The structure matters immediately: Lumentum holders are being offered Marvell shares, so their deal value falls when Marvell falls. 1 | The Detail That Changes the Trade Marvell announced an all-stock acquisition of Lumentum on November 2, 2026. Each LITE share would receive 4.500 MRVL shares. The announcement put implied enterprise value at $115 billion and reference consideration at approximately $1,132 per LITE share. That represented a 23.9% premium using October 28 unaffected prices. That last date matter
Apple: record revenue guide, margin guide lowest since 2023. Who has the pricing power in memory?
$Apple(AAPL)$ 3 Nov 2026 | Apple FQ4 2026 results (unaudited release) Apple says the Dec quarter will be its best for revenue in company history: guided revenue +7% to +10%. The gross margin guide is 45% to 46%. The 45.5% midpoint would be the lowest since the Sep-2023 quarter (45.2%). A year ago the Dec quarter ran 48.2%. Record revenue, thinner margin. My read: this is a memory squeeze Apple is paying to get ahead of, not a one-quarter blip. Record revenue, almost flat gross profit At the midpoints, revenue would be about $156.0B, +8.5%. Gross profit would be about $71.0B, only +2.5% on last year's Dec quarter (math is mine). Almost all of the extra revenue goes to costs. The staircase, in points The Sep quarter printed 47.9%, about
Why I See an Opportunity for a Rebound in U.S. Stocks Despite Ongoing Risks?
English Version: After a sharp selloff, investors tend to fall into one of two camps: those who believe the worst is over and a rebound could come at any moment, and those who fear the decline is only just beginning. U.S. equities now sit squarely between those two views. Major indexes are approaching key technical levels, leadership in technology stocks is starting to weaken, and investors are looking for safe havens. But what happens next will depend on more than how far the market has fallen over the past few days. Two major catalysts will matter most: the U.S. midterm elections and Nvidia’s earnings. $1.5倍做空NVDA ETF-Tradr(NVDS)$$英伟达(NVDA)$$标普500(.SPX)$

The $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ fell 1.37 per cent on Monday and the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ declined 0.52 per cent. All 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats are being contested in the US midterm election. A change in congressional control could alter expectations for taxation, technology regulation, AI data-centre approvals and government spending. The election was not the only reason technology shares fell. Oracle lost 8.78 per cent, AMD fell 7.59 per cent and Intel declined 8.97 per cent as investors continued to reduce exposure to companies associated with heavy AI investment. The result may shape the policy path, but companies still need to prove that investment can produce profit an
[Stock Prediction] Intel Plunges 29%. Is AMD Next?
Intel plunged nearly 29% after its latest earnings report, as a disappointing outlook raised fresh concerns about the semiconductor industry's growth prospects. The selloff spread across the sector, dragging AMD down nearly 11% on Friday. AMD fell another 7.5% on Monday, closing at $466.84. $Intel(INTC)$ Now, all eyes are on $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ , which reports third-quarter earnings after the closing bell on November 3. AMD has a different growth story from Intel. Its EPYC server processors are gaining traction in data centers, while its Instinct AI accelerators are competing for a share of the booming AI infrastructure market.

Navigating the Global Liquidity Dip with GLD ETFs & DLCs in SGX
🌟🌟🌟The global financial landscape has experienced a sharp tectonic shift. Spot Gold prices have recently corrected below the psychological crucial USD 4,000 per ounce threshold. This pullback isn't a failure of Gold's intrinsic value but rather a direct reaction to a hawkish Federal Reserve, rising US bond yields and severe cross market deleveraging. As corporate earnings faced pressure, institutional fund managers were forced into liquidity driven selling - liquidating their must liquid assets, Gold, to cover margin calls and equity losses elsewhere. Yet beneath this temporary surface noise, a massive structural floor is being laid: global central banks are buying Gold at a historic, unprecedented pace. Driven by a fierce desire to de-dollarise and diversify away f
What I’m Buying in November 2026: 4 Stocks Added, 1 Sold
I'm selling 1 stock and adding 4 new positions to my portfolio this month. The goal remains the same: build a concentrated portfolio of companies with the potential to deliver 10x returns over the next decade. 💰 The Asymmetric Portfolio Strategy Each month, I'll invest $500 in new capital, selecting from my Asymmetric Universe of 25 companies. The allocation rules are straightforward: Monthly investment: $500. If the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ or $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ falls 20% below its all-time high, monthly investment increases to $1,000. If either index falls 30%, monthly investment increases to $1,500, with further increases as the market declines. Any stock in the Asymmetric Universe can be selected. Stocks can
$SPX Bounce Rejected: Wave 5 Downside Targets September Lows
The bulls briefly pushed the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ back above a key momentum level today, but the move quickly failed. The index was slammed back below it, reinforcing the bearish setup. The current Elliott Wave count points to Wave 5 lower, with the September lows as the next downside target. I’m watching for a potential bounce only after those lows are tested and broken—not before. The broader structure is also worth noting. From the 2022 low, the $SPX has traced a clear five-wave advance: Wave 2: The deepest correction. Wave 4: A shallower pullback. The traditional Elliott Wave Principle allows counts structured this way. Elliott Wave 2.0 aims to make the process simpler and more systematic. I’ve even coded the approach. This isn’t about dismissi
Hims & Hers: Testosterone, Peptides, and a Podcast
$Hims & Hers Health Inc.(HIMS)$ ( ▼ 8.82% ) may be the most controversial stock in the Asymmetric Portfolio. Some investors think it’s a disruptive company with 10x+ potential. Others think it’s a parasite on society. Hims & Hers’ Catalysts There’s a story in any stock. A rise. A fall. And with Hims & Hers, the story is ongoing and volatile. I’ll be back with more on the story after earnings early next week, but I thought we should cover some of the latest with the company. The Value I’m going to start with the value, or what we pay as investors. Hims & Hers is in its high growth phase, so we shouldn’t be valuing the company based on earnings or free cash flow. The price-to-sales multiple is the most appropriate, and shares trade n

Tech Stocks Under Pressure: Hedge Now or Buy the Dip Before Midterm Results?
Technology stocks are facing two sources of uncertainty at the same time: US midterm elections and growing concerns about the sustainability of AI infrastructure spending. On Monday, the Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQ) fell 1.37%, while the S&P 500 declined 0.52%. Technology stocks remained under pressure as investors assessed the potential impact of election outcomes on corporate taxes, technology regulation, AI data-centre approvals and government spending. The timing is particularly interesting because the market is already questioning whether enormous AI investments will generate sufficient returns. For investors, the challenge is deciding whether the current weakness represents a temporary period of uncertainty or an early warning that risk appetite is changing. Here are five things I would
AMD’s AI Ambitions Face a Bigger Test: Can MI450 Deliver the Next Wave of Growth?
$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ is approaching an important earnings test, and the market is clearly becoming more demanding. Shares fell 7.59% on Monday ahead of Tuesday’s earnings announcement, suggesting investors are reducing exposure rather than positioning aggressively for a positive surprise. The expectations are already high. AMD previously guided for approximately $13 billion in quarterly revenue, plus or minus $300 million, with a non-GAAP gross margin of 54.5%. Meanwhile, analyst consensus has moved to approximately $13.22 billion in revenue and $1.97 in earnings per share. This creates an interesting situation. AMD could deliver another strong quarter and still disappoint investors if its forward outlook does not justify the va
