104% Tariff - What is the impact and how will it be resolved?
🌟🌟🌟In an escalation of US China trade tensions, US has imposed a massive 104% Tariff on Chinese goods to the US. This has sparked further carnage in the Global stock markets. At this juncture, US and China are stuck in an impasse, with both sides unwilling to back down. JPMorgan Analysts said that the rapid escalation with US tariffs on China were disruptive enough to push the global economy into a recession. In such scenario, no one wins. How will it be resolved? I believe that the American people should have a say as they are the ones most affected. Billionaire Mark Cuban urged the public to stock pile on essentials at Walmart before the tariff price hikes occur. Thousands of Americans protested against Donald Trump and Elon
TOPneo26000: Step 1-100: Educate the general public in America that, in the end, they will bear the financial burden of tariffs, rather than the importers or the companies selling the goods. This is no small feat, especially when influential figures, like the Vice President, still hold outdated views, such as believing that the majority of Chinese people are peasants.

It's still dead cat bounce
Don't All in.After the tariffs landed, the U.S. stock market is a little bit back to the soul of the meaning of fluctuations, a lot of people began to get excited, think the opportunity to come.But I'll be honest, don't get too excited, now this wave of rebound, more like a technical repair, not a trend reversal, at best, is a "dead cat jump".Simply put, the fundamentals did not keep up.The S&P 500 earnings per share estimate (EPS) for the coming year has been cut by Wall Street from +14.1% at the beginning of the year to +10.5%.That's not the worst of it, if U.S. GDP does fall between 0 and 1% as many now expect, then EPS will have to continue to be chopped to less than 5% to be reasonable, and right now the market isn't even reflecting that pessimism.Looking more closely at the secto

$Gold - main 2506(GCmain)$ $US Dollar Index(DXY)$ Gold’s taken a beating. After soaring to $3,200 per ounce, it’s stumbled for three straight days, landing at $3,000. Word on the street?

Market Commentary:Look Past the Volatility: Follow the Market’s True Drivers
Market volatility has been extreme over the past few days. Over the previous two weeks, the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ declined more than 10% — a move that, statistically, falls outside a 3-sigma event. If we include Monday’s opening drop, it reached the magnitude of a 5-sigma event.Yesterday, the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ saw an intraday swing of more than 7% within just 30 minutes, triggered by a false news report. Today, markets continued to whipsaw. The $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ remains above 50 and has stayed above 40 for three consecutive days — itself an extreme occurrence.Historically, such events are often followed by a short-term reversal (with a historical probab

How to Play the Market Sell-Off
Look, I know everyone’s freaking out about the ~20% drop in U.S. stocks. Your feed is probably full of people either panicking or shouting “Buy the dip!” But here’s something interesting I’ve been doing instead and it might be right up your alley. Instead of trying to guess if we’ve hit the bottom (spoiler: nobody knows), I’m actually getting paid to wait for better prices. Here’s what I mean… Right now, market fear is through the roof. In fact, volatility is sitting at some of the highest levels we’ve seen in years (95th percentile). This means something fascinating: you can get paid really well for agreeing to buy stocks at lower prices through put options. Let me give you a real example I’m looking at: say you’re interested in the $SPDR S&P 500

🚀 March 31 – April 3 Leaderboard: Top Traders & Market Highlights!
Last week (from March 31 to April 3), the major indexes of the US stock market experienced significant fluctuations. On April 3, $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ showed a significant decline, setting the weakest single-day close since 2020 in terms of market performance. At the same time, $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ also presented a significant downward trend. This violent fluctuation is mainly affected by a series of large-scale tariff measures recently launched by the US government. This policy imposes high tariffs on Chinese imported goods and EU exported goods, triggering widespread concerns about the escalation of the global trade war and the risk of economic recession, thus quickly weakening i

104% Tariff Showdown: How Long Will the Trade War Sink Stocks?
$S&P 500(.SPX)$ $Shanghai Composite Index(000001.SS)$ $NASDAQ( $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ )$ The US-China trade war just hit a new peak—or maybe a new low. On Wednesday, April 8, 2025, the US slapped a 104% tariff on Chinese imports, a move the Trump administration calls a "game-changer" to force China to the negotiating table. A White House spokesperson quipped Tuesday, “China just doesn’t know what to do,” pushing for a swift deal. China’s response? The Ministry of Commerce vowed to “fight to the end,” signaling no retreat. With tensions sky-high, markets are trembling—and investors are sweating. So, let’s cut through the noise: How long will this trade war drag markets down? Is
TOPI believe when qcom gets back to $12 eps a fair value would be about $220. It will happen in the next two to three years. That’s a very good return from here.

$NVDA 20250516 75.0 PUT$ NVDA daily chart hit the oversold territory yesterday. $97 was a crucial level for NVDA as it had been a strong support level (the last time this level was tested was back in Aug 2024), and NVDA had been above this level since then. Yesterday we tested this level again and it got aggressively bounced above again. Not sure if this level will be attained again but personally will keep a look out for this level again and determine what to do next. For now, the next level to watch out for is $108-$109.

$SMCI 20250502 45.0 CALL$ SMCI: collect 1.95% premium on these covered calls with strike at $45. Contracts expire in 4 weeks on 2nd May. The strike is much lowered factoring the worsened price action and market sell off. Nevertheless, took opportunity to sell fresh call at the start of market trading when the price was still positive. After that market began to turn again when market realised that those tariffs will take effect on 9th Apr as planned and won't be delayed. going to ride this out, full well understand SMCI is not the strongest brand out there right now. Still, won't panic sell and emotion based trades. Walk away and we'll see how this goes.
