I think this is a common question that most investors will have when they start their investment journey, or when they rebalance their portfolio. This a a dilemma for me till today as well, should I even consider to include the stock in my portfolio if it does not pay dividends? I will break down my thoughts about this in the following segments. 1. Dividends Are Not a Guarantee of Quality A dividend payout doesn’t automatically make a stock superior.

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$   I personally dont trade earnings call. But as you can see on my chart, it's indecisive. So I will take an air of caution and hold off till market open tomorrow, after the earnings call.  I rather miss out then lose out.

I personally think that there is still bearishness in the market, looking at the tremendous challenges that the trump/republican administration has to overcome. So I will take a precautionary bullish sentiment till the inauguration day.  Taking into account the unstable mental space of trump, I will not take a firm stand on a definite santa rally.

The announcement of Deepseek, a rival company of AI from China, being able to produce AItechnology at a much lower cost. But if you look deeper, everything is premature.  The cost of research and execution is not even taken into account yet. So I really do not believe this will change the landscape and potential of US based AI companies.  It just makes them cheaper and at a discount, if you are a long term trader. So I believe NVDA will bounce back, and bounce back hard if it does.  @madluvyz - Specialist in using TA to sell options and swing trade.😺

An overview on some companies on my watchlist that are announcing earnings on the coming week. Most of them are speculated to be beating earnings estimates. However, as we saw in GOOGL, beating estimates doesn't necessarily equate to a bullish move in the stock.  I used to trade pre/post earnings , betting a strong upside or downside move. But I have stopped since a year ago as I felt the risk/reward ratio does not make sense anymore. I prefer selling vertical option contracts as it is more sustainable and enable me to have a healthier mental space. But if you are an earnings trader, this will be useful information.
