Alphabet: Cloud +103%, stock -10%. The market is not punishing AI capex, it is punishing who pays for it

$Alphabet(GOOG)$   $GOOGL Cloud revenue +103%. Operating income +30%. Stock -10% after hours. Same night, Microsoft spent $45B on capex and rose ~4%. So the market is not punishing AI spending. My hypothesis: it is punishing who pays for it. 29 Oct 2026 · Alphabet Q3 2026 (unaudited release) 1) The number nobody led with Q3 buybacks: zero. A year ago: $11.5B. Year to date: zero, vs $39.8B in 2025. Instead, Alphabet sold $12.4B of new stock in Q3 through an at-the-market program, and $42.9B this year. Add $19.1B of convertible preferred and $85.2B of new debt: about $147B of outside money raised in nine months. Diluted share count is up 1.35% year on year. The share count used to shrink every quarter. 2) Why it needed the money Operating

Elliott Wave View: GDX Rally Expected in at Least 3 Waves

The short-term Elliott Wave outlook for Gold Miners ETF (GDX) suggests the corrective cycle from the August 26 high has already ended as a seven-swing structure. From that peak, wave (W) declined to $91.19. A corrective rally in wave (X) then reached $98.36. Selling pressure resumed afterward, with wave (Y) extending lower to $78.93. This decline completed wave ((W)) at a higher degree as 45 minutes chart below shows. As a result, GDX should now be in the early stages of a larger corrective recovery. The structure favors at least a three-wave rally against the decline from the August high. The advance from the $78.93 low is unfolding as an impulsive sequence. Wave 1 ended at $81.60. Wave 2 then pulled back and finished at $79.08. From there, the ETF resumed its climb and extended higher in

COIN: The Part 2 I Promised A Year Ago

hey everyone, Wonton Investor here. let's talk about Coinbase again. some of you on here might remember my two earlier $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$  posts. in December 2024 i pitched it as a Peter Lynch cyclical, a business whose earnings swing with the crypto cycle, so the trick is to buy it when things look dead. i said i'd only buy at a 20% discount to my ~$180 intrinsic value estimate, so under $150. then in mid-2025, after the GENIUS Act passed and the big institutions started building on Coinbase, i wrote that i was doubling down and that COIN had gone from a cyclical buy to a long-term foundational hold. this is the follow-up i promised back then. it's mostly an accountability post. getting lucky, then getting greedy on Libe

I've said this about a billion times, but apparently it needs saying a billion and one: CAPEX does NOT automatically translate into profits. Spending billions on AI infrastructure is not the same as earning billions from it. But hey, why bother with revenue, margins, cash flow, or return on investment when you can just announce another $100 billion in spending and watch Wall Street applaud? Apparently, the more you spend, the richer you become. Revolutionary economics! 😂

I’d pick Goldman Sachs here. An earnings beat alone means less when 80%+ of companies are beating. I’d rather look at valuation, earnings quality and how much optimism is already priced in. At around 12x earnings, GS gives me more valuation cushion than chasing a high-growth stock after a major re-rating. SOFI’s growth is attractive, but expectations and valuation make execution increasingly important. I’m also cautious about calling MS a “memory supercycle” play. Morgan Stanley is primarily an investment bank and wealth manager, not a semiconductor memory company. More broadly, this earnings season reinforces one point for me: “beat” is becoming the minimum requirement. The stocks I’d favour are those that can beat, raise guidance and generate stronger cash flow without requiring ever-in

B. Hold rates steady. A hold is already heavily priced in, so I think the bigger market mover will be the guidance for December and the reaction of Treasury yields. If the Fed signals another hike, I wouldn’t automatically buy the first tech dip. I’d watch the 10-year yield and earnings first. If yields rise but profitable tech companies with strong free cash flow continue delivering earnings growth, I’d view a valuation-driven sell-off as a potential buying opportunity. But if higher yields coincide with weakening earnings, shrinking margins or AI capex rising much faster than cash generation, I’d stay patient. For me, the opportunity is not simply “tech fell, buy”. It is whether fundamentals remain strong after the discount rate moves higher.

Hong Kong Has Not Bottomed Yet. But Smart Money Is Already Building a Barbell Trade.

The Hang Seng has spent two weeks getting punished. HSI briefly fell below 23,000. HSTECH has fallen toward 3,770-3,800, its weakest level since September 2024. Then something interesting happened. The market did not suddenly buy everything. Money concentrated in two almost opposite trades: Biopharma and Mainland dividend banks. At first glance, that makes little sense. One is a high-growth innovation trade. The other is a defensive income trade. But I think the combination tells us exactly what investors are doing. They want upside, but they still do not trust the market. That is why my Hong Kong strategy is not simply: BUY THE DIP. It is: Build the barbell first. Buy the index later. 🔵 THE INDEX IS STABILISING. TECH IS NOT. This distinction matters. HSI has been trying to establish suppo

📈 Fed Holds Rates: Why I Would Dollar-Cost Average into QQQM and Wait for New Catalysts in Google and Nvidia Trade US Stock Options Pre-Market—Now on Tiger Trade

📈 Fed Holds Rates: Why I Would Dollar-Cost Average into QQQM and Wait for New Catalysts in Google and Nvidia 🐶 1. My view: A rate pause does not mean every technology stock will rally The Federal Reserve holding interest rates at 3.75%–4.00% is an important reminder that the market cannot depend entirely on interest-rate cuts to push technology stocks higher. When borrowing costs remain elevated, investors become more selective about which companies deserve premium valuations. From the market update in the screenshot, QQQ gained 0.60% and the S&P 500 rose 0.28%. However, technology stocks moved in different directions. AMD gained 3.24%, while Nvidia fell 1.17%. This divergence tells me that investors are not buying every AI-related stock indiscriminately. My approach is to separate my

To understand why Wall Street is going crazy over Anthropic, you have to look at its origins.  Anthropic was founded in 2021 by Dario and Daniela Amodei, a brother and sister duo who previously held top research leadership roles at OpenAI.   Dario and Daniela Amodei left OpenAI in a dramatic split, taking a core group of researchers with them because they fundamentally disagreed with OpenAI's increasingly commercial, fast and loose direction.   Anthropic was built to be a Publi

Ride the DBS Waves: A Beginner's Guide to Daily Leverage Certificates (DLCs)

 🌟🌟🌟Dear Tiger Friends, Have you ever wished you could supercharge your investment moves without getting tangled up in the complicated, math heavy world of options trading?  Meet the Daily Leverage Certificate or more popularly known as DLC on $DBS(D05.SI)$  . Traded directly on your Tiger Brokers App via the SGX, a DLC acts like a financial megaphone.  It amplifies the daily percentage moves of DBS shares by a fixed multiplier - typically 5x - giving you the power to go Long if you think DBS is going up or Short if you think it is taking a dive. Why New Traders Love DLCs: No  Margin Calls: Unlike traditional leveraged trading, you can never lose more than your initial stake.  No terri

Why I Am Holding OCBC Through Earnings (And Laughing Off the Citi Sell Off Noise)

🌟🌟🌟Everyone, deep breaths.  The Singapore market is having a bit of a moment right now, thanks largely to that recent Citi analyst commentary triggering a wave of nervous selling.  But while some are hitting the panic button, I am sitting tight and holding $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$  straight through its upcoming Q3 2026 earnings report on Friday, November 6 2026. Before this Citi induced dip, OCBC was the absolute crown jewel and top performer of the Singapore market, aggressively testing its 52 week high of SGD 32.57.  One analyst comment does not mean it is time to sell.  Even though the stock took a short term hit, dropping 9.73% in October, OCBC is still up a phenomenal 46.25% year todate. Wh
Why I Am Holding OCBC Through Earnings (And Laughing Off the Citi Sell Off Noise)

[Stock Prediction] SK Hynix Soars After Earnings. Is SanDisk Next?

The memory-chip rally just got another major boost. SK hynix delivered a blockbuster quarter, with revenue surging 328% year over year and operating profit jumping 632% to record highs. Investors cheered the results, sending the stock nearly 11% higher in South Korea and 13.3% higher in U.S. trading. $SK hynix(SKHY)$ The numbers reinforced a powerful theme on Wall Street: AI infrastructure spending is driving extraordinary demand for memory, while tighter supply is giving chipmakers more pricing power. $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ is set to report its fiscal first-quarter results after the U.S. market closes on October 29.Can it deliver a strong enough outlook to keep the rally going? What SK Hynix's Earnings Te
[Stock Prediction] SK Hynix Soars After Earnings. Is SanDisk Next?
TOPJerry Lam: I choose **C: -5% to +5%, consolidating in a range**, but overall I am cautiously optimistic. SK Hynix's strong performance proves that the storage industry is booming, but the two companies have different growth logic: **Hynix mainly benefits from HBM demand, while SanDisk relies more on NAND prices and enterprise-grade SSD sales. ** I focus on two key indicators: first, whether the increase in the average selling price of NAND can continuously drive the improvement of gross profit margin; Second, whether management will raise its revenue and profit guidance for the next quarter. The biggest risk at present is that the good news has already been priced in by the stock price. Even if the financial report exceeds expectations, positive news may materialize if future guidance is not strong enough. In addition, the revenue and EPS forecasts in the post are clearly worth verifying and cannot be used directly as a basis for valuation. My strategy is not to chase high prices before the earnings report, but to wait for the performance and guidance to be confirmed before making a judgment. The storage industry's boom cycle may be extended, but a good industry does not mean that any price is a good buying opportunity. ** 🐯

Why Leveraged ETFs Are a Terrible Way to Get Leverage (And Why Options and Futures Make Far More Sense

Leveraged ETFs like TQQQ, UPRO, and SSO look like the perfect retail product: simple to buy, no margin calls, and the promise of 2x or 3x the daily moves of an index. You click a button in your brokerage account and suddenly you have turbocharged exposure. For a lot of people, that convenience is irresistible. It is also a trap. These products are engineered for short-term trading, yet they are routinely used as longer-term leverage tools. The structural mechanics that make them work on a single day actively work against you the moment you hold them longer. In most market environments that matter choppy, volatile, or mean-reverting periods they systematically destroy capital relative to what a simple multiple of the underlying would have delivered.

PEP lost the Cola War. Is the Stock next ?

Loser Stock That Lost the Cola War ? $Pepsi(PEP)$ has not collapsed. It has however, lost the central battle that once defined it - the cola war. Despite generating more than twice $Coca-Cola(KO)$’s revenue, PEP is worth only about ½ as much in the stock market. The reason is simple: KO owns the more profitable part of the beverage value chain. PEP in return, become a sprawling food & beverage conglomerate where soda is no longer the main priority. Numbers tell the story In FY 2025 : PEP generated roughly $93.9 billion in revenue, compared with about $47.9 billion for KO. Yet KO produced about $13.8 billion in operating profit, ahead of PEP’s $11.5 billion. KO’s operating margin was roughly 35%, more tha

The Fed Paused. Do Not Buy Everything. These Are the Assets I Want for the Next Rally.

$Strategy(MSTR)$   $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$   $Micron Technology(MU)$    The Federal Reserve just held rates at 3.75%-4.00%. Stocks finished higher. And the easy conclusion is: Fed stopped hiking = buy risk assets. I think that is too simplistic. This was not a dovish pivot. It was closer to a hawkish pause. Economic growth remains strong. Inflation remains elevated. And two policymakers actually wanted another 25bp hike. So I am not positioning for: “Cheap money is back.” I am positioning for something more interesting: “The cost of money may have stopped getting worse.” Those a
