To The Moon

Right now, I’m leaning cautious to slightly bearish on gold in the short term. The sharp drop in SPDR Gold Shares $SPDR Gold Shares(GLD)$ reflects shifting rate expectations, and with the Federal Reserve likely keeping rates higher for longer, that continues to pressure a non-yielding asset like gold. The speed of the sell-off also suggests crowded positioning unwinding. That said, I’m not fully bearish on the bigger picture. If geopolitical tensions stay elevated and oil prices remain high, inflation could stay sticky, which may support gold over time. Real yields are the key—once they peak or decline, gold could stabilize and recover. For now, I see this as a correction rather than a breakdown. I’m staying on the sidelines and waiting for clear

Today was definitely a tough day for me as well. My holdings all retraced across the board, and seeing both equities and defensive assets like SPDR Gold Shares $SPDR Gold Shares(GLD)$ come under pressure really highlights how fast sentiment can shift. It honestly felt like there was nowhere to hide, and that added to the frustration. One sentence to describe how I felt: “It felt like watching a slow bleed where every asset I trusted was moving against me at the same time.” That kind of day really tests your conviction and risk management, especially when volatility spikes and correlations go to one. Going forward, I’m choosing to stay disciplined rather than emotional. I’m not rushing to sell everything, but I’m also not blindly buying the dip y

This pullback in gold looks more like a macro-driven repricing than a trend reversal. With Federal Reserve pushing back rate cut expectations and real yields moving higher, it’s natural to see pressure on gold and ETFs like SPDR Gold Shares. The speed of the drop feels sharp, but it’s largely reflecting how crowded the “rate cuts + gold rally” trade had become. That said, I don’t think the bull case is broken. As long as oil stays elevated and geopolitical risks persist, inflation expectations could remain sticky, which eventually supports gold again. The key is timing—gold may consolidate short term under rate pressure before regaining strength if real yields roll over. From a positioning standpoint, I’d be cautious chasing downside here, especially in leveraged names like Direxion Daily

I’m focusing on PDD Holdings Inc $PDD Holdings Inc(PDD)$ this earnings week. The key for me is the strong EPS momentum, likely driven by operating leverage from Temu’s global expansion. Even with short-term margin pressure, rising earnings estimates suggest the business is scaling well. I lean bullish on PDD because it’s still in a growth phase and less cyclical than travel or industrial names. If it delivers another beat, it could strengthen confidence in its global strategy. I tend to focus on stocks with upward EPS revisions, as that often leads price. Overall, PDD fits my approach of prioritizing earnings momentum over valuation. As long as EPS keeps surprising on the upside, I stay constructive—but I’ll watch for any slowdown or cost pressur

My stock in focus today is $SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC(SMCI)$ , and I’m leaning short after the latest news. The U.S. charges tied to alleged export control violations introduce serious regulatory and reputational risk. A 30%+ intraday drop signals more than panic—it shows confidence is breaking. The bigger concern is second-order impact. Even if the company isn’t directly charged, senior-level involvement raises governance questions. In a supply chain tied to Nvidia, compliance is critical. Any disruption could hit demand, while rivals like Dell Technologies may benefit. For me, this looks like the start of a repricing, not a one-off move. The narrative has shifted to uncertainty, which typically compresses valuations. I’d treat any bounce as an

My biggest trading weakness is letting emotions override my plan. When a stock runs, I feel the urge to chase, and during volatility, I sometimes take profits too early. I usually start the day with a clear plan, but once the market moves fast, I don’t always execute it the way I intended. To improve, I’ve focused on process over outcome—predefining entries, exits, and risk before the trade. I also size positions smaller so I can stay disciplined, and I keep a simple journal to track when and why I deviate. Most of my mistakes still come down to the same triggers: FOMO and the fear of giving back profits. What’s helped most is accepting that missing a trade is better than forcing one. I now wait for confirmation instead of chasing momentum, and I treat risk management as my real edge. It’

I see this week’s move as more of a sentiment-driven reset rather than the start of a deeper breakdown. The selloff was triggered by oil and geopolitical headlines, and the quick rebound shows dip-buying is still present. However, without a Fed “put,” the market is more fragile and reactive to news. The AAII data showing over 50% bearish is historically contrarian and can signal a near-term bottom. But I’m cautious—oil-driven inflation and a hawkish Fed are the bigger constraints, and they could keep pressure on valuations and limit upside. In that context, 6500 $S&P 500(.SPX)$ may act more like resistance than strong support. Overall, I’m not aggressively buying the dip. I see this as a tradeable bounce in a volatile environment rather than

This week’s pullback in $TENCENT(00700)$ and $Alibaba(09988)$ feels more like a reset in expectations than a breakdown in fundamentals. I see the selloff driven mainly by concerns over rising AI capex, while their core businesses—Tencent’s gaming and ads, and Alibaba’s AI-driven cloud—remain strong. That said, near-term risks are real. Both companies are ramping up investments, which will pressure earnings growth, and Alibaba’s weaker profitability plus losses in its “All Others” segment are a concern. Tencent’s lower buybacks also reduce downside support, so I expect volatility to continue as the market digests overcapex fears. From a valuation standpoint, the dip is becoming more attractive. Tenc

My stock in focus today is $NamCheong(1MZ.SI)$ , as I see it well-positioned to benefit from the current strength in energy markets. With oil prices holding at elevated levels, typically above the $70–80 range, major oil companies are more likely to increase capital expenditure. Nam Cheong’s core business in building and managing offshore support vessels puts it right at the center of this trend. As drilling activity picks up, we should see higher fleet utilization and improved day rates, which could translate into stronger revenue and potentially better margins. This makes the company a leveraged play on sustained energy demand. While geopolitical tensions create uncertainty across many sectors, they often reinforce the need for energy securi

The recent drop in gold doesn’t surprise me—it’s more of a rate-driven repricing than a structural breakdown. With the Fed turning more hawkish and real yields rising, assets like $SPDR Gold Shares(GLD)$ and $Gold Trust Ishares(IAU)$ naturally come under pressure. The speed of the move shows how crowded the “rate cuts” trade was. That said, I’m not bearish on gold structurally. Rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions are rebuilding the inflation narrative, which supports gold over time. This is a push-pull between higher real rates short term and inflation risk in the medium term, and I’m watching how gold holds the $4,700–$4,800 range. From a positioning standpoint, I’m staying selective—avoiding hi
