CoreWeave Jumps 23%, Options Turn Bearish On December 19, 2025, AI compute infrastructure stock $CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$   extended the strong momentum from the prior session. As November CPI data continued to show cooling inflation, expectations for future rate cuts strengthened, lifting overall risk appetite and driving a broad rebound across technology and compute-related assets. At the same time, on December 18, the Trump administration announced the “Genesis Plan” aimed at accelerating U.S. domestic development of AI, computing power, and critical digital infrastructure—emerging as a key catalyst for the compute theme. Against this combination of macro and policy tailwinds, CRWV surged as much as 23% intraday, with shares briefly jum

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $Micron Technology(MU)$ Nvidia's shaking off the dust after Micron's explosive earnings beat lit a fire under the semiconductor sector, proving the AI upcycle's far from fizzling. As of December 20, 2025, NVDA shares are clawing back with a 2.8% jump to $141.28, riding the wave from Micron's Q1 rev crush at $13.64 billion (topping $12.83 billion est) and EPS blowout at $4.78 – a testament to memory demand tripling from AI data centers. This rebound flips the script on recent dips, with Morgan Stanley doubling down on Nvidia as a top 2026 pick alongside Broadcom and Astera Labs, calling semis the brightest US equity spot amid limitless AI compute hunger. 💡 Morgan Stanley's bull call isn't hype

🌟🌟🌟Why Bank of Japan (BoJ) rate hike was a non event?  BoJ raised its policy rate to 0.75%, its highest since 1995. While the event was historically significant, the move was a non event for 3 reasons: 1.  It was fully priced in. Investors had already baked the quarter point hike into their plans with  overnight swap market showing a near 100% probability of the move before it happened. 2.  Governor Ueda's lack of  guidance into future rate hikes actually caused the yen to weaken further, dropping 1.3% to 157.53 yen per dollar. 3.  Real interest rates in Japan remain negative (at around -2.2%).  This means that BoJ is still supporting growth even as it "normalises". So it turns out that BoJ 's historic interest rate hike was about as scary as a kitten dr

2025 can be best understood as a year of violent repricing rather than simple trend continuation. The sharp April sell-off in US equities acted as a reset. Positioning had become one-sided, valuations complacent, and macro uncertainty underestimated. The subsequent rebound to record highs was not driven by fresh optimism, but by resilience. Earnings held up, liquidity remained ample, and investors were repeatedly forced to re-risk into strength rather than conviction. Gold breaking past USD 4,000 was arguably the most revealing signal of the year. It reflected not inflation panic, but deep-seated distrust. A hedge against fiscal expansion, geopolitical fragmentation, and long-term currency debasement. That gold and equities rallied together underscored a market hedging prosperity with prot

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Christmas, for me, is less about escape and more about recalibration. I deliberately scale back active trading during this period. Liquidity thins, price action becomes more sentiment-driven, and the risk–reward for short-term trades deteriorates. Rather than forcing activity, I treat the final stretch of the year as a time for review rather than execution. My usual approach is a light-monitoring mode. Key levels, macro headlines, and positioning risks stay on the radar, but there is no urge to react unless something genuinely breaks framework assumptions. It is a conscious shift from doing to observing. The more valuable work happens off-market. Reviewing what worked and what did not, stress-testing convictions, reassessing

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$   This Christmas, I chose to travel, and interestingly, Korea ended up giving me some of the clearest trading lessons of the year. K-culture looks flashy on the surface: K-pop performances, perfectly choreographed stages, polished visuals. But once you are there, you realise the real story is discipline, repetition, and respect for process. No idol debuts overnight. Years of training happen quietly before the spotlight ever turns on. That felt painfully familiar as a trader. In markets, we celebrate the breakout days and the winning trades. But the real edge is built off-screen, journaling, reviewing losses, cutting positions early, and sitting through boredom when there is nothing to do. Korea reminded me that consisten

This expiry feels less about direction and more about structure. With such a heavy concentration of ODTEs and strikes clustered around 6,800, the pinning effect has a real chance to dominate into the close — unless a macro surprise forces dealers to re-hedge aggressively. My base case is intraday volatility with a compressed close, not a clean Santa rally yet. Liquidity looks thin, sentiment fragile, and positioning crowded. For me, this is a session to trade levels, not narratives, and size down. December has been about survival and discipline, not hero trades.

$Oracle(ORCL)$  4-Day Wipeout or Selective Rotation? Why the "Rubber Balls" Are About to Bounce The market just hit a brick wall. In a matter of four days, we’ve seen nearly two weeks of hard-earned index gains evaporate. If you’ve been heavy on the AI high-flyers, your portfolio probably feels like it just went through a blender. But while the headlines are screaming about a tech correction, the tape is telling a much more nuanced story. This isn't a "sell everything" moment—it's a "look where the money is hiding" moment. While the mega-cap tech giants are gasping for air, several industry groups are printing new Relative Strength (RS) highs. The question isn't whether the market is going down, but rather: which stocks are refusing to stay s

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape of 2025, cybersecurity has shifted from a "nice-to-have" IT expense to a non-discretionary "survival cost." With the global cybersecurity market projected to grow from $245 billion in 2024 to over $500 billion by 2030, investors are increasingly looking at the two "Goliaths" of the industry: Palo Alto Networks (PANW) and CrowdStrike (CRWD).   While both are leaders, they represent two distinct philosophies of security and investment profiles. The Growth Thesis: Why Cybersecurity Now? The investment case for cybersecurity rests on three pillars: The AI "Arms Race": Generative AI has lowered the barrier for hackers to create sophisticated phishing and malware. Conversely, companies must use AI-driven security to defend at machine speed.&nbs

🌟🌟🌟What a rollercoaster 2025 has been!  It started with a bang - a gut wrenching dip in April due to Trump's Tariffs, only for US equities to perform the most spectacular rebound in history.  It wasn't just a Bull market.  It was a beast unleashed. The Global Carnage and the AI Paradox  We watched history unfold in real time as Gold finally breached the mythical USD 4,000 mark for the first time ever.  Meanwhile $NVIDIA(NVDA)$  became an unstoppable force, hitting an eye watering USD 5 trillion market cap.  But the year ended with a twist of irony: by December, capital appeared to be abandoning the very AI sector that fueled the rally.  It was a classic "buy the rumour, sell th

🌟🌟🌟The air is thick with tension as NVIDIA $NVIDIA(NVDA)$  the AI darling of the decade fights to reclaim its crown.  After a gut wrenching correction that saw the market momentarily turn its back on Nvidia, the question on every investor's mind this December: Is Nvidia a buy the dip miracle or a trap waiting to spring? Nvidia's Rebound Riding on Micron's Coattails The clouds began to part this week as $Micron Technology(MU)$  delivered a blowout earnings report that acted like a shot of adrenaline to the sector.  Nvidia, which had been languishing below key moving averages, caught a massive wave of sympathy bid. When the "mem

🟩 Are you stuck in the "Blue Chip Loop," buying the same banks and telcos just because they're familiar, while smart money is quietly finding 6% yields in boring, overlooked sectors? Most retail investors in Singapore crowd into DBS or Singtel, completely missing out on stable industrial REITs and business trusts that pay reliable dividends without the headlines. The problem isn't a lack of good stocks on the SGX; it's the lack of a system to find them without spending hours reading annual reports. In this finale of our Investor’s Toolkit Masterclass, I reveal my personal "one-minute workflow" for filtering the entire Singapore market—over 700 stocks—down to a gold list of five to ten high-quality winners. We move beyond simple luck and start using institutional-grade screening tools to st

*** PERSONAL IGGY'S NOTE: If you look at the raw data models (like the ones I shared), they are currently flashing red on UOB. They flag it as 'overvalued' relative to its history and prefer OCBC for its momentum. If you were trading purely on numbers, you'd swap UOB for OCBC today. But here is the caveat: these algorithms can be blunt instruments. For example, the model flags UOB for 'burning cash'—but banks are supposed to deploy cash (lend it) to make money! It also penalizes UOB for lower margins, failing to account for its specific growth phase. The model sees 'weakness,' but I see a 'cyclical lag' that offers deep value. So, while I am adding OCBC to my portfolio to capture its current strength (respecting the data), I am not rejecting UOB. I am holding it as a value play. The lesson
