The S&P 500 Broke Its 200-Day MA. What Its Chart Says Now The $S&P 500(.SPX)$   has been rebounding recently after the key index broke its 200-day Simple Moving Average and hit a nearly seven-month low in recent days. Let's see what its chart says might happen next. The S&P 500's Fundamental Analysis The entire ball game for U.S. equities has changed rather quickly as hopes have risen somewhat for an end to both the Iran War and Big Tech's recent sell-off. First, The Wall Street Journal reported last week that U.S. President Donald Trump had told those around him he'd be willing to end America's Iran operation even if the key Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Trump also publicly said the U.S. mil

SpaceX's Secret IPO Filing Ignites Space Materials Boom: Who Wins Big? Advanced materials are the cornerstone of space technology development. The space technology field has extremely high requirements for material properties such as strength, hardness, high-temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance. Materials in space technology and aerospace can be categorized into specialty metals, specialty polymers, ceramics, special coatings, power semiconductor materials, energy materials, and other types. Recent geopolitical disruptions have made supply chain security issues increasingly severe, giving related companies more scarcity value. Taking SpaceX as an example, its essential materials include niobium metal, titanium alloys, and coatings. While Starship eliminated carbon fiber, it rem

Worst Quarter Since 2022? Why Staying In the Market May Matter More Than Timing The first quarter of 2026 is in the books — and it wasn't pretty. The $S&P 500(.SPX)$   fell roughly 5.3%, the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$   dropped 7.8%, and the $DJIA(.DJI)$   shed 4.2%, marking the worst opening quarter for U.S. equities since 2022. The U.S.-Iran conflict rattled global energy markets, Brent crude surged past $119 at one point, and inflation fears resurfaced just as the labor market showed signs of cooling. But on the final trading day of March and in

The Architect of AI: How NVIDIA is Buying Up the Infrastructure of Tomorrow $NVIDIA(NVDA)$  's recent $2 billion equity injection into $Marvell Technology(MRVL)$   is far more than a routine strategic partnership—it is a glaring declaration of intent. This move serves as the capstone of a stealth campaign Jensen Huang has been executing across the broader AI economy. NVIDIA has tipped its hand: the company is no longer content simply selling the silicon fueling the gold rush; it is systematically buying leverage at every layer of the critical infrastructure required to sustain it. While most investors still largely price NVIDIA a

From Memory to CPUs: Intel's Fab 34 Buyback Supercharges the Shortage and Pricing Trade Key Takeaways – Intel and AMD both beat the tape, but Intel's move was the standout, with the stock up about 8.8% versus roughly 3.3% for AMD.  – The immediate catalyst was Intel's agreement to buy back Apollo's 49% stake in the Fab 34 Ireland JV for $14.2 billion, regaining full economics of a fab that produces Intel 4 and Intel 3 chips including Core Ultra and Xeon 6.  – The financial logic is straightforward: Intel says the deal will be EPS accretive in 2027 and beyond, and Intel's 2025 filing shows income attributable to the Ireland SCIP was already meaningful and expected to rise as Fab 34 ramps further.  – The deeper read is that the market is still treating this as part of a bigger

Historically, U.S. Oil Stocks Still Managed to Hit New Highs Even When Oil Prices Are Falling. Why? A counterintuitive situation is that in the years following the 2022 oil price surge in the U.S., oil prices have been generally falling from 2023 to 2025, yet $Exxon Mobil(XOM)$   's stock price has been hitting new highs year after year. This suggests that factors other than oil price fluctuations must play a significant role in the crude oil market. These factors can be summarized as: 1. Increasing concentration of global oil supply. Due to geopolitical factors, Russia and Iran, two major oil-producing countries, have been excluded from the mainstream oil trading system, gradually constraining their oil pro

Stocks Are Falling, But AI Compute Demand Still Looks Red Hot The market is selling first and asking questions later Recent geopolitical tension has pushed U.S. stocks sharply lower, and the damage has been broad. In this kind of environment, investors usually cut risk first and sort out the fundamentals later. That is why the recent decline has felt almost indiscriminate. For long-term investors, that distinction matters. A falling stock does not always mean the business is weakening. Sometimes it simply means the market is in full defense mode. The AI demand signal still looks very strong Under the surface, one of the most important signals is still pointing in the opposite direction. Bloomberg's GPU rental indexes show that AI compute demand remains extremely tight. The key point is not

Not Just Oil in Short Supply Amid Middle East Tensions! Which Semiconductor Material Companies Have a Chokehold on Global Tech? Advanced materials are the foundation and physical limit of all high-end technologies. For example, the more advanced the semiconductor process, the higher the requirements for material purity, electrical conductivity/resistivity, and yield. Due to the accumulation of know-how in cutting-edge materials, patent barriers, and lengthy customer certification cycles, companies with first-mover advantages and core product categories are more likely to become evergreen stocks.  Moreover, recent geopolitical disruptions have made supply chain security issues increasingly severe, making these companies more valuable for their scarcity. Moomoo Insights has compiled nea

Meta Tumbles 8%, $1B Options Bet on Limited Rebound $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$   shares plunged more than 8% on Thursday, falling back to around $545. The immediate trigger was a landmark jury verdict in the U.S., which found that Meta and $Alphabet(GOOG)$   $Alphabet(GOOGL)$   YouTube's product designs contributed to user addiction. The significance of the ruling lies not in the several million dollars in damages, but in its potential legal spillover—shifting the regulatory framework from“platform immunity”toward“product liability.”Agains

Netflix Raises Prices. Streaming Is Going to Keep Getting More Expensive. Netflix stock rose Thursday following news that the company once again raised prices for its multiple subscription tiers, another sign for consumers that streaming will continue to get more expensive from here. $Netflix(NFLX)$   updated its plans page on Thursday. The standard subscription tier with ads will now cost users $8.99 a month, $1 more than before. Standard ad-free and premium subscriptions each went up by $2 and cost $19.99 and $26.99 a month, respectively.

Nike Just Hit an 8-1/2-Year Low. Here's What Its Chart Says Heading Into Earnings Nike plans to report earnings next week at a time when the shoe-and-apparel giant's stock is trading at about an 8-1/2-year low, having fallen some 70% since its November 2021 all-time high. Let's see what its chart and fundamentals can tell us. Nike's Fundamental Analysis $Nike(NKE)$   is set to release fiscal Q3 results after the closing bell next Tuesday, with the Street looking for $0.29 in GAAP earnings per share on $11.22 billion of revenue. That would represent a 46.2% drop from the $0.54 in GAAP EPS that Nike reported for the same quarter last year, as well as a 0.4% sales contraction from the year-ago period's $11.27 b

AI Just Got Cheaper—So Why Are Chip Stocks Falling? Semiconductor stocks broadly declined on Thursday, with the AI trade seeing a notable pullback. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$   fell about 3%, $Micron Technology(MU)$   dropped more than 6%, and $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$   slid roughly 7%. $Broadcom(AVGO)$   and $ASML Holding NV(ASML)$   also moved lower, while equipment names such as $Appl

Arm Enters AI Chips. Why Are Nvidia, AMD and Intel All Rising? After $Arm Holdings(ARM)$   unveiled its first data-center CPU, the company’s shares surged more than 14.5% intraday. At the same time, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$   , and $Intel(INTC)$   also moved higher, gaining  6.2%, and 6.3%, respectively, with AI compute-related stocks broadly active. Why did an event that should have intensified competition instead lift all the key players? What exactly is the market pricing? From the event itself, Arm introduced its first in-house data-center CPU,

SpaceX Ignites a Space Rally. Here Are the Key Stocks to Watch Recent developments surrounding SpaceX have quickly lifted market sentiment, triggering a broad rally across space and satellite-related assets. This move has been highly concentrated in a small group of core names, with capital flows showing a clear, tiered structure. Among them, $Destiny Tech100 Inc(DXYZ)$   surged as much as 26%, emerging as one of the most direct beneficiaries. Its exposure to private technology companies gives it a “proxy ownership” profile, making it a natural vehicle for investors seeking indirect exposure to SpaceX's valuation. At the same time, key players across the space and satellite value chain moved sharply higher.

OFC 2026: Which Optical Names Matter Most for Investors? If there was one clear takeaway from OFC 2026, it was this: demand for optical connectivity in AI infrastructure remains extremely strong, and the real bottleneck is no longer demand creation, but supply, execution, and ecosystem formation.  The Three Most Important OFC Takeaways 1. Demand is not the issue — supply is The strongest message from the conference was that optical demand remains very robust. The overlap between GTC and OFC amplified the sense that compute intensity keeps rising, forcing the need for better optical solutions. The demand is outstripping supply, while closer collaboration between hyperscalers and optical vendors is giving suppliers more confidence to invest and build out capacity.  For investors, t

My biggest trading weakness is dont know how to cut loss and keep chasing and buying the dip, hope for the stock to rebound or recover. After a significant loss, I believe I need to know when to cut loss or stop buying the dip. If not the loss will keep increase and in the end nothing left but debt. Is is good to set a line or selling price to cut loss. [Blush]

Tariffs, discounting, and fading brand heat: Lululemon faces three major headwinds in 2026 After the close on March 17 (ET), $Lululemon Athletica(LULU)$   released its fiscal Q4 and full‑year results for the period ended February 1. Q4 wasn't bad and the international business remained strong, but the weakness in the Americas showed no real improvement—and the company's 2026 outlook came in below expectations across the board. Key numbers at a glance – Q4 revenue: $3.64B, +1% YoY; excluding the impact of FY2024's 53rd week, Q4 revenue would have been +6% YoY. – Full‑year revenue: $11.10B, +5% YoY; excluding the 53rd week, growth would have been +7%. – Q4 diluted EPS: $5.01, below market expectations.

Nvidia's GTC Brings Big Promises, But Smart Money Is Selling Volatility At GTC 2026, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$   CEO Jensen Huang raised the company's data center revenue target to a cumulative $1 trillion for 2025–2027, a sharp increase from the $500 billion outlook set last year. As the conference kicked off and market attention intensified, unusual activity in Nvidia's options market picked up significantly, with two large opening trades appearing early in the session. In event-driven, high-profile setups like this, the options market often follows a familiar pattern. Institutional investors are typically less focused on betting directionally on sharp upside or downside moves, and more inclined to sell options to c
