$Apple(AAPL)$ Started small with AAPL.. nothing crazy, just learning the game properly. Up a bit so far, but more focused on building habits than chasing quick wins. Everyone starts somewhere.. this is mine I think! š
Yeah this is what Iām watching too. Feels like everything is fine until the Fed says otherwiseā¦ market seems pretty sensitive here.
@MHh:I am definitely more worried about FOMC. The next fed chair can lift the entire stock market or cause it to crash depending on how dovish or hawkish he is. This is independent of the performance of big tech. Of course, big tech has risen quite a fair bit and some corrections might happen. If warsh doesnāt cut rates as the market expects, equities will definitely come under pressure. Afterall, the market has already priced in rate cuts as trump would like to see. The market has been trained to fed manipulating the performance of equities since Covid. 5 years is more than enough for conditioned behavior. I think whatever pullback in the AI narrative will only be temporary. AI is for the future and use cases will expand exponentially which would create further pressure on demand.
Strong month, but feels like the real question now is whether this is momentum carrying through or the point where expectations get too stretched. FOMC probably matters more than anything here..one shift in tone and sentiment fills fast! Feeling like a ādonāt chase highs blindlyā kind of setup.
AMD feels like itās in that tricky spot where the AI narrative is strong, but expectations are already priced in. Seeing mixed takes, some calling buy, others saying sell into strength, which probably says a lot about how stretched things might be short term. Still learning, but feels like this one comes down to execution vs expectations more than hype.
Interesting watching NVDA drop while the broader AI story is still strong. Feels like the market isnāt just reacting to results anymore, but to expectations, valuation, and whether growth can keep surprising. Still learning, but this feels like a good reminder not to chase blindly.
Alphabetās beat looks more fundamental than sentiment driven to me. Cloud strength matters, but the bigger signal is that Google is starting to show AI can support both growth and monetisation at scale. My read: the rally makes sense, but the path to a $5T narrative depends on whether this becomes sustained margin-accretive execution, not just one strong quarter.$Alphabet(GOOGL)$
Metaās selloff makes sense if the market is reacting to the sheer size of capex, but I do not think higher spending automatically means the thesis is broken. If that investment keeps improving AI engagement, ad tools, and monetisation, this may end up looking more like investment shock $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ than structural weakness. My read: near term, volatility probably stays elevated. Longer term, the real question is whether Meta earns enough on that spend to justify the fear.
Amazonās Q1 strength looks real, especially if AWS growth is reaccelerating. But I do not think the market will ignore capex concerns just because the quarter was strong. My read: near term, strong cloud momentum can keep sentiment constructive. Longer term, the bigger question is whether that spending converts into enough margin and cash flow to justify the scale. To me, the debate is not whether Amazon can grow. It is whether the return on that AI and infrastructure spend stays strong enough to keep the multiple supported.$Amazon.com(AMZN)$
Rates holding steady was widely expected. The bigger question now is whether the market treats this as a pause that still supports risk assets, or as a reminder that cuts may come slower than many want. To me, the next move depends less on the hold itself and more on how inflation, labour data, and earnings momentum line up from here. My read: this is not automatically straight-up bullish. It gives the market room to stay constructive, but it still needs proof. I would separate short term relief from a durable next leg higher.$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$
Google reaching new highs says a lot about how much confidence the market has in the business right now. But at these levels, the question changes. It is no longer just about whether Google is strong. It is about whether earnings can keep outperforming what investors have already priced in. For me, the things that matter most are: - Advertising resilience - Cloud momentum - AI monetisation - Also whether management can keep proving that growth and discipline can coexist My view: Google can still be a high-quality long-term name, but the higher the stock goes, the less room there is for even small disappointments.
$Amazon.com(AMZN)$
At major index highs, I think the biggest mistake is becoming emotional in either direction. A rising market does not mean you must sell everything, but it also does not mean risk suddenly disappears. For me, the better question is: Have the reasons you own your positions actually changed, or are you just reacting to the level of the index? If fundamentals still support the businesses and your time horizon is long, holding can still make sense. If positions have become oversized, stretched, or purely momentum-driven, trimming into strength is not unreasonable either. My view: I would not treat 7100 as an automatic sell signal. I would treat it as a reminder to review position sizing, risk, and whether expectations have started to outrun reality.
What stands out to me is that the market is no longer rewarding the AI narrative equally. We are moving into the phase where investors want proof, not just possibility. That means big tech earnings matter more now because the market is asking: - Who is actually monetising AI? - Who is just spending heavily to stay in the race? - Whose valuation already assumes near-perfect execution? The AI story is still powerful, but I think the easy part of the trade is over. From here, earnings quality, margins, capex discipline, and real commercial payoff matter much more than headlines alone. My view: the AI trillion-dollar theme is still alive, but the market is starting to separate real winners from expensive passengers.
One stock Iām watching closely today is $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ Not because I think itās an easy win from here, but because it sits right in that zone where quality, expectations, and sentiment all matter at once. The long-term bull case is still there: - strong semiconductor relevance - data centre exposure - ongoing AI demand tailwinds But I think this is also where discipline matters most. A great business is not always a great buy if the market has already priced in too much optimism. So for me, the real question is not whether AMD is a good company. It is whether execution can keep justifying the enthusiasm from here. That is why I see AMD as a stock to watch closely, not blindly chase. Whatās one stock everyone else is watchi
I think $60 this week is possible, but it probably needs both a solid result and a reassuring tone on guidance. At these levels, Iād be watching whether the market focuses more on net interest margin pressure or on the strength of the broader franchise and wealth management business. My first reaction is that DBS can still deliver a respectable result, but getting through $60 convincingly may depend on whether management gives investors enough confidence that earnings quality remains strong from here.

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$
Tonight feels like a classic case of high expectations meeting fragile sentiment. In crowded sectors, rumours do not need to be true to move price in the short term. The real test is what happens after the panic: do fundamentals reassert themselves, or was the market too optimistic to begin with? That is what Iād be watching in chips from here. š³

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ Cathie Wood dumping $AMD(AMD)$ is interesting, but I do not think one fund manager selling automatically changes the long-term story. For me, the real question is not: āCathie so do I panic?ā It is: Has anything materially changed in AMDās business outlook, competitive position, or earnings potential? The bull case still makes sense to me: - AMD remains a serious player in semiconductors - Data centre and AI demand are still major long-term themes - If execution stays strong, the market may keep rewarding that positioning But the bear case is fair too: - Expdctations can run ahead of earnings very quickly - Competition is brutal - Even a strong company can be a poor buy if valuation gets too opti
