A few things I'm watching: Chips bounced back hard. After Thursday's big selloff, AMD closed up 11% to $449.04, Intel up 7.7% to $56.28, and the Philly Semiconductor Index up 4.2%. The bounce makes sense - AMD's Q3 was actually strong, record revenue $13.38B, up 45%, data center up 97% to $8.5B, and Q4 guidance around $17B. Thursday felt more like panic about AI regulation after the midterms than about the numbers. Singapore banks finished earnings. OCBC was the only one to beat - Q3 profit $2.04B, up 3%, and they raised 2026 loan growth guidance to low double digits. DBS missed with profit down 5% to $2.81B because trading income fell 65%. UOB also missed at $1.25B. OCBC is around $27.70 now, well off its high. Jobs came in hot. US October payrolls +165k, way above the 65k expected, unemp

On Friday 6 November, $SPCX(SpaceX)$ closed up 8.62%, adding roughly $144.6 billion of market value in one session, while the Dow fell 0.46% (BigGo Finance; Sina Finance, 7 Nov 2026). The better read is structural: SpaceX has become the market's largest levered buyer of AI chips, financed off its own balance sheet, and this week the bond market started deciding whether that machine gets built. The question: will Goldman Sachs and Apollo place a roughly $40 billion chip financing — and what happens to the equity if they cannot?

AppLovin’s impressive third-quarter results, highlighted by strong revenue, profit growth, and effective AI advertising, demonstrate significant potential. However, despite this success and opportunities in e-commerce, the stock’s post-earnings surge suggests a need for caution regarding potential overvaluation before further performance is verified.

On Thursday 6 November, $Lam Research(LRCX)$ fell 16.4% as the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped 12.25% to 9,011.14, its steepest one-day decline since March 2020. Before Friday’s open, Lam’s board authorized a $25 billion buyback with no termination date, on top of what remained of its prior program. The stock closed Friday at $199.48, up 7.71%, against 4.21% for the same SOX. A buyback that size is a board putting capital behind a view of demand. The question is narrow and testable: did the board buy because it knows something the tape does not, or because a stock at half its June price was too cheap to ignore while 2027 capex stays unproven? Figure 1 — The four numbers that frame this piece: buyback size, the Thursday move, the Friday cl

$Micron Technology(MU)$ is becoming one of the most interesting valuation debates in the semiconductor market. With shares trading around $695, some investors argue that Micron is surprisingly cheap based on its earnings. Others believe using traditional P/E ratios to value memory-chip companies is misleading. Both sides have a point. Why Micron looks attractive The AI boom has fundamentally changed demand for memory. AI data centres require enormous amounts of high-performance memory, particularly High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), which is essential for advanced AI accelerators. Micron is one of the key suppliers benefiting from this demand. Unlike some AI companies that are still trying to prove their business models, Micron is selling products th

$IREN Ltd(IREN)$ closed Friday up 20.02% at $21.64 after its fiscal first-quarter results showed AI cloud revenue nearly tripling quarter on quarter — as the whole AI-infrastructure complex rebounded from Thursday's rout (Motley Fool via AOL, 6 Nov 2026). But the quarter also carried a $263M net loss, wider than the Bloomberg-consensus estimate (Stock Jabber, 6 Nov 2026), and a revenue milestone that slipped by two months. The question this piece answers is not whether $TICKER(IREN)$ had a good Friday — it is whether the market has quietly changed how it prices this model: from growth story to contract-quality story, where customer prepayments, not leverage, are the thing being underwritten. Figure 1 — The quarter's four headline numbers: AI cloud

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ has fallen below the psychologically important $200 level, raising a big question for investors: Is the world’s leading AI chipmaker approaching a bottom, or is another leg down still possible? On Thursday, Nvidia (NVDA) plunged 9.3% to $181.60, marking its worst single-day decline since January 2025. It was also the first time the stock had closed below $200 since July 30. The decline comes amid a broader selloff in semiconductor and AI-related stocks. However, Nvidia’s recent trading history offers an interesting perspective on what could happen next. 1. Why the $200 level matters The $200 mark is more than just a psychological threshold. It represents an important change in market sentiment. Nvidia had benefited from strong

🛡️ DEFENSIVE STOCKS: WHEN THE MARKET GETS NERVOUS, BORING CAN BECOME BEAUTIFUL! With market volatility rising and investors questioning how sustainable the rally really is, defensive stocks deserve another look. The smartest investors don’t just chase the next high-growth opportunity. They also build portfolios that can withstand market turbulence. Two defensive performers catching my attention: 🥤 1. Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) Up approximately 41% over the past year. Its global brand strength, pricing power, recurring demand and reliable cash generation demonstrate why consumer staples can remain attractive in uncertain markets. 🛒 2. Walmart (NYSE: WMT) Up approximately 25% over the past year. Its enormous distribution network, everyday low-price strategy and ability to attract customers trading

🚀 Wall Street’s AI Wake-Up Call: Crash, Rebound or Buying Opportunity? Friday’s market action tells us one thing: volatility is back, and investors need to separate genuine risks from panic selling. Thursday’s brutal sell-off wiped trillions off US market valuations, with the Nasdaq plunging 5.5% and the S&P 500 falling 4.4%. Concerns over tighter AI regulation following the Democrats’ election victories triggered a major reassessment of technology and data-centre valuations. But Friday brought buyers back. Semiconductor stocks rebounded sharply, with AMD, Nvidia and other chipmakers leading the recovery. The question is whether this is the beginning of a genuine recovery or simply a relief rally. 🔥 My stocks to watch: 1. AMD (AMD) – A potential beneficiary of the AI infrastructure boo

Redwire (NYSE: RDW) reported third-quarter revenue of $109.0 million after the close on November 4 — up 5.4% year over year, but $17.5 million short of the $126.5 million Wall Street consensus compiled by Fiscal.ai. The stock fell 21% to $6.13 on November 5, the steepest single-day drop among the major US-listed space names that day. The same press release, however, reported a record 32.3% gross margin, a record $619.7 million backlog up roughly 75% year over year, a quarterly book-to-bill of 1.73, and a reaffirmed full-year revenue forecast of $450 million to $500 million. This piece answers one question: is RDW's crash a repricing of broken demand, or a mechanical overreaction to shipment timing in a falling market? Figure 1 — The quarter in four numbers: revenue, record gross margin, re

On November 5, 2026, as the Nasdaq fell 5.52% in its worst session in 18 months, IonQ reported the strongest quarter in its history: revenue of $173.8 million, up 336% year over year, beating the $141.71 million consensus by roughly 23%. The stock closed down 11% at $26.43 anyway, then bounced 9% to near $28.89 premarket once investors digested a guidance raise to $505-515 million. The question: is IonQ's print a genuine demand signal the crash buried, or another chapter of revenue quality hiding behind a headline growth rate? The print: six record quarters, one awkward source of half the revenue Start with the report itself (all figures from IonQ's November 5 press release unless noted); Q3 revenue of $173.8 million was the sixth consecutive record quarter. The IonQ Platform segment — act

On 5 November the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index closed down 12.25% — its worst session since March 2020. SanDisk fell 22.26%. Micron 17.46%. AMD 17.26%. Nvidia 9.26%. By the close, roughly $2.5 trillion of US tech market value had evaporated in a single day. Two days earlier, Apple had said something that should have mattered more than any of it: gross margin drops from 47.9% to 45–46% this quarter, because memory costs are eating the P&L. Put those two facts side by side and the market's reaction looks backwards. Apple's cost line is Micron's revenue line. If Apple is paying more for DRAM, Micron is collecting more for it. Yet both were sold, on the same week, for opposite reasons. The trigger was policy, not demand Democrats took both chambers of Congress. Texas's governor-elect c

📅 Thu, Nov 5, 2026 | US Market Close Recap 📈 Index Performance Wall Street suffered a rout Thursday. The S&P 500 plunged 4.53% to 7,353.83, the Nasdaq-100 tumbled 5.52% to 24,315.00, and the Dow dropped 3.44% to 51,523.06 — the worst single-day selloff since April 2025. CNN Fear & Greed fell to 20, back in Extreme Fear, while the VIX spiked 69.66%. 🔥Sector Performance It was a broad-based bloodbath, with every sector in the red and roughly $2.5 trillion wiped off US market cap in a single session. AI and chip names bore the brunt: the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) sank more than 12%. NVDA -9.26%, TSLA -10.77%, SNDK -22.26%, MU -17.46%, AMD -17.26%; $AppLovin Corporation(APP)$ APP bucked the trend, surging 31.04%. 🌍 Key Dr

The broader market just suffered its worst single-day rout since April 2025, wiping out roughly $2.5 trillion in market cap as a proposed "AI Super Ban" sparks fears of regulatory annihilation for advanced AI development. Amidst this panic, AppLovin (APP) surged 31%. Why? Because in a market priced for an apocalypse, $AppLovin Corporation(APP)$ APP's Q3 print proved the growth engine is still intact. Revenue hit $2.185 billion (+55% YoY), net income reached $1.439 billion (+72% YoY), and adjusted EBITDA margins held near 84%. The Street was bracing for a growth deceleration and margin compression from AI compute costs. Instead, APP delivered 78% operating margins. Here is the breakdown of how APP is monetizing the AI ad-tech flywheel—and the hidden

Last night, I hosted a futures livestream on Tiger Brokers covering the outlook for equity indexes and gold following the US midterm elections. The session compared the Nasdaq with the dot-com bubble, reviewed key support levels in major indexes, explored trading opportunities in Hong Kong and mainland technology shares, and discussed options strategies for a range-bound gold market.

Diamonds fascination. In the 1953 Hollywood movie “Gentlemen prefer blondes”, movie legend Marilyn Monroe sang “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” and 32 years later in January 1985, Madonna paid an hommage, replicating the entire musical set in her MTV video “Material girl” - dripping in diamonds, of course ! Diamonds have long captivated women as the ultimate symbols of love & status, a fascination fiercely guarded for decades by the De Beers cartel through strict supply control and brilliant marketing of “a diamond is forever”. This historic monopoly shattered with the rise of lab-grown diamonds, that offer chemically identical stones with superior ethical and financial appeal. By making diamond luxury highly accessible, lab-grown gems permanently disrupted De Beers' dominance and f

The equity markets are experiencing a structural, risk-off rotation away from the mega-cap technology and AI sectors. In this article, we would like to look at are market rotating out of tech for longer? is defensive stocks a potential investment now? Can Gold be used to guard against volatility caused by rotation out of Tech? Concerns over overextended valuations, massive capital expenditure projections with unproven near-term returns, and shifting policy regulations have broken the momentum of big tech. With indices like the Nasdaq Composite sliding into correction territory, capital is steadily looking for shelter. 1. The Anatomy of the Tech & AI De-risking Cycle For over a decade, global equity market returns have been disproportionately concentrated in mega-cap technology equities

Apple $Apple(AAPL)$ delivered a stronger-than-expected fiscal fourth quarter, but its shares fell in late trading after the company issued a disappointing gross margin forecast, citing surging memory costs and accounting headwinds from its artificial intelligence push.

Despite the top-line beat, the stock dropped 2.75% in after-hours trading.
