$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ There has been heavy buying in SOXS. Volume hit 178 million yesterday, and there were already 28 million shares traded just 20 minutes after the open. Shorts are clearly under pressure.
$Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ AAOI reported record revenue of $192M and EPS of .06, about 300% above expectations. Their next report is coming up soon, with revenue expected to rise roughly 43% sequentially to around $275M, along with much higher earnings guided at .11–.26 per share. Analysts are looking for .143 EPS.
Korean investors are getting hit hard by margin calls, and that's dragging down the memory market. $SK hynix(SKHY)$ is down around 8%, and it's spilling over into $Micron Technology(MU)$ as well. This has nothing to do with fundamentals. It's purely a deleveraging event, and it's crushing these names. We've already seen this happen a few times this year, but it's still scaring off long-term investors from getting into MU.
$ProShares UltraPro QQQ(TQQQ)$ NOV20 73C, still actionable. Zone: $70.15 to $71.13 Invalidation: close under $68.21 Objectives: $75, then $79.27 The math: up 6.2% to the first objective and 12.2% to the second, against 3.4% risk on the invalidation, better than 3 to 1 to the second. Think of this swing setup like a rubber band pulled too far in one week and now snapping back a little. TQQQ fell more than 13 percent in five sessions and closed Friday at $68.21, yet buyers lifted price near $70.64 and held the low at $70.13. The floor is close, and if the bounce holds there is room toward $75 first and $79.27 next, while a close under $68.21 would tell you it failed and you step aside. Watching $72.44, the high. A close over it would show buyer
Pretty quick reversal incoming. Looking at the patterns on $Tradr 2x Long Aaoi Daily Etf(AAOX)$ , at one point it was $7 and then ripped to $26, now we're all the way back down to $5. I could see $20 to $50 in the cards for the end of the year for AAOX. They're about to report their first profitable quarter, this is a steal at these levels, thinking long term. $Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ is literally expanding revenue and margin profitability, as well as $Lumentum(LITE)$ , if not better.
$SK hynix(SKHY)$ Never thought I'd see the 140s last month. Fundamentals look intact until at least 2030, so this feels like a rare chance to put money back in.
$Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ Some users keep misrepresenting my AAOI price targets. The $300 figure I mentioned for 2026 and the $844 for 2027 were calculations based on company revenue guidance and LITE's valuation metrics, applied to show a potential price if the market gave AAOI similar valuations. Using AAOI's stated net profit margins and revenue guidance, I came up with different calculations, all based on market valuation multiples. It is guesswork, but an educated guess grounded in numbers that have not been disputed. I do not understand why someone would show up every day to bash the stock while claiming to not be short and to not own shares. AAOI could hit new highs by end of year if they reach the high end of their targets. The
The $Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ thesis isn't complicated: AI workloads need bandwidth. More bandwidth means more 400G, 800G, and eventually 1.6T transceivers. $Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ is one of maybe three companies that can actually make these at scale, and they're vertically integrated from chip to module. The 1.6T ramp in 2027 is the catalyst that either makes this a $200 stock or a cautionary tale. I'm betting on the former. The ATM closure means they have the capital to execute. Now they just need to ship.
$Seagate Technology PLC(STX)$ It probably shouldn't be down over the last five days. It has climbed from the 766 low and is back in the green at 776 now. Next week could be decent. We'll see.
$Seagate Technology PLC(STX)$ In STX we trust? It looks like a buying opportunity. One day everyone wants it, the next day no one does. Maybe buying when no one wants it makes sense.
$Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ The only real risk right now is on the manufacturing execution side. Product demand is simply not an issue. That's the honest reality of it.
$Seagate Technology PLC(STX)$ I wish I had learned about financial literacy much earlier, but I'm grateful I eventually did. At 45, I was $97,000 in debt with no savings and no retirement plan. I decided it was time to educate myself and take responsibility for my financial future. Two years later, my net worth has grown to more than $870k. I'm now debt-free with $550,000 invested and focused on building even more long-term wealth. Being part of this community for the last three years has had a huge impact on my financial mindset. My habits have completely changed, and I've built a portfolio of approximately 5 Bitcoin over the past few months. I'm incredibly thankful for the journey and for the regular updates I've been able to follow.
$Bloom Energy Corp(BE)$ MM keeps setting up a trend and then breaking it every time. They might push it before we even get a dip this time. Starting to accumulate anyway.
$SK hynix(SKHY)$ Will they finally let Kospi run? It closed at 6971. It has been over 7k a few times since its epic fall from 9400. Micron reported earnings and had zero mention of competition, now or in the foreseeable future. All the major memory manufacturers are sold out, and Micron is writing contracts through 2031 at 50% of expected production. That is pretty crazy. You would think they were mining gold. Maybe they are. What applies to Micron applies to SK and Samsung. If they are all smart and don't get too aggressive on capex, this gravy train will persist. It's a far cry from the boom-to-bust cycles of the past. That wasn't a respectable way to do business, but it was the only way. That ship has sailed. I have to believe SK and Samsu
$Bloom Energy Corp(BE)$ I've been accumulating slowly. If it dips, I'll add in bigger chunks. Those shares aren't getting unloaded until we're above a new all-time high.
$Bloom Energy Corp(BE)$ Bloom jumped over 8% on old news, and I figured it would fade this week. Just didn't expect it to happen this fast. Turned 62k into 125k over the weekend. I always place a sell order right after buying an option contract, and this time it filled while I was asleep. Sharing my approach for anyone who trades options.
$SpaceX(SPCX)$ I asked Grok about the chances that Starship 14 will successfully deploy its payload. Roughly 75-85%, with prediction-market prices around 87% for payload deployment if the flight proceeds as planned. Starship Flight 14 (Ship 41 + Booster 21) is targeted NET 28 September 2026 from Starbase Pad 2 as the first attempt at a sustained orbit (~275 km, ~6 revolutions, ~10 hours) plus the first operational payload: 26 Starlink V3 satellites via the PEZ dispenser. Three of those satellites carry cameras to image the heat shield. No tower catch is planned; both stages are expected to splash down. Why the odds look reasonably high? Recent ship performance has been strong. On Flight 13 (July 2026), Ship 40 completed a full-duration ascent
