$SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$  $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$  $Micron Technology(MU)$   The 20% surge in SanDisk Corp (SNDK) points to growing optimism driven by NVIDIA Corp (NVDA); however, this could signal a fundamental revaluation, caution advised for short-term volatility。。。 Memory stocks trade at elevated multiples, which could present risk if earnings growth does not meet expectations; potential for short-term corrections remains high despite long-term AI-driven growth Micron Technology (MU) offers strong fundamentals and leadership in DRAM, a solid pick for long-term investors; SNDK shines in flash storage with potential in mobile and automotive sect

Defense Sector Brief Review: Aircraft Engines and Avionics Systems Lead the Charge The 50% single-year increase in U.S. military spending recently claimed by U.S. President Donald Trump is likely to face significant resistance, since exceeding the defense budget cap requires 60 Senate votes, but Republicans hold only 53 seats. The budget reconciliation process only needs 51 votes but still faces fiscal gap issues. Without appropriate budget sources or balanced spending, it may not meet budget reconciliation criteria. Still, objective factors support potential growth in military industries. Delays in the U.S. sixth-generation fighter project, aging naval vessels and aircraft carriers, and stagnant tonnage growth all point to a genuine need for military industrial upgrades.

$Apple(AAPL)$ well, buy the dip or investment trap? Let me think. To buy a dip, it must be a dip. And to understand if it's a dip, I think you need to do ALOT of DD to find out. So let's go there with apple, from a personal users perspective. Buckle up tiger friends cause it's story time. So in 1988, I started my journey towards a university degree in business. One of the first papers I did was called computer systems. three quarters of the course was learning on an IBM (no compatibles then, just IBM). The last quarter was learning apples.  After I completed the course, it was like black and white. Dos, Edlin and Joe spreadsheet and the green screen absolutely sucked. Apple on the other hand, grey and white screen, an operating syst

🚨 Silver Flash Crash or "Sale of the Year"? The Truth Behind the $7.7B Dump Ticker: Silver Main(2603) iShares Silver Trust(SLV) Gold Main(2602) Costco(COST) Silver just took a 3% hit, and the charts look ugly. But before you panic-sell or aggressively short this move, you need to look under the hood. What we are witnessing right now isn't a fundamental collapse—it is a massive, mechanical liquidity event. TD Securities estimates that $7.7 billion worth of silver is hitting the market between Jan 9 and Jan 15. That is roughly 13% of total open interest on COMEX. For the retail trader, this looks like a crash. For the institutional shark, this looks like a transfer of wealth. Let’s dissect the "Mechanical Bear" vs. the "Structural Bull." 1️⃣ The "Dumb Money" Flow: Why Prices Are Falling The

$Apple(AAPL)$   1. What is driving the recent pullback Apple has now traded lower for seven consecutive sessions, with the stock down roughly 4–5 per cent from recent highs. This streak is the longest in many months and reflects broader sentiment turning cautious.  Key near-term drivers include: • Profit-taking and seasonal weakness after strong gains late last year and into early January.  • Investor caution over growth sustainability, especially in smartphone markets where demand is moderating in China and elsewhere.  • Concerns about margin pressure from rising component costs, notably memory prices, which could weigh on gross margins.  • Sector rotation from mega-cap growth stocks into value or cyclicals in the cu

What Is Driving the Rally in Bank Stocks Earnings Expectations and Strong Financial Results Momentum Analysts expect overall S&P 500 financial earnings to rise around 6.7 per cent year-on-year for the December quarter, supported by solid profitability and credit quality. This has helped underpin bullish sentiment in the sector.  Net Interest Margin Expansion and Broad Loan Growth Banks have benefited from a period of higher interest rates throughout 2024–25, which lifted net interest margins (NIM) — the difference between interest earned on loans and interest paid on deposits. Firms are projected to sustain, or even modestly expand, NIM into the current quarter.  Resilient Credit Quality and Economic Backdrop Delinquency trends have generally remained benign across consumer a

SNDK’s K-line pattern in 2026 SanDisk’s rally fits a bullish flag evolving into a rising channel. A strong impulsive advance was followed by shallow consolidation, with higher lows and controlled volatility. This structure signals continuation rather than distribution. Do stocks ever perfectly match K-line patterns? Rarely. K-line patterns are probabilistic frameworks, not exact templates. Real charts are influenced by algorithms, derivatives flows, and macro noise. Continuation patterns tend to be more reliable than clean reversal patterns. Does memory still have upside in 2026? Yes, structurally. Micron Technology and SK Hynix benefit from tight HBM supply, improved capex discipline, and sustained AI-driven demand. In 2026, returns shift from valuation expansion to earnings delivery, w

The rally in bank stocks ahead of earnings season reflects a combination of macro-economic, sector-specific and technical factors rather than a single driver. Shares of major US banks including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley are trading near record highs, and the broader financial sector has lifted the S&P 500 financials index on expectations of stronger profits. Investors are looking through stretched valuations because of optimism about earnings drivers and economic resilience.  Key drivers behind the rally Resilient economic backdrop A relatively robust US economy supports banks’ core businesses. Continued growth in consumer spending and nominal GDP tends to underpin credit demand and reduce downside risk to earnings.  Improving capital markets

1. With Q4 earnings ahead, will AI orders drive TSMC to new highs? Likely, but not unconditionally. TSMC’s share price has been propelled by AI-related demand for advanced logic and accelerator chips. Analysts and trading data suggest AI infrastructure spending is a central driver behind forward earnings expectations and capacity utilisation. Foundry revenue has expanded strongly on the back of AI chip orders and products built on TSMC’s leading nodes (3nm and 2nm) have high margins and stickier customer demand.  Key considerations: AI backlog and advanced nodes: TSMC’s 2nm and advanced CoWoS packaging are core to AI chips for Nvidia, AMD and others, sustaining both revenue and margin leadership.  Guidance matters: The next leg higher will depend on guidance around capacity utili

I think the single most important variable for crypto in the next year is policy. Crypto is no longer that separate an asset class like stock. It is still back to supply and demand and unlike stocks, crypto do not have fundamental growth potential. The value rose as it gets more scarce. Although it has some use cases, that has yet to fully take off to drive further demand and the price. So, if the US government shifts gears to be less pro-crypto, sentiment and demand will drop. Crypto will be less in demand and liquidity will drop especially with the current already high price that can be prohibitive. Given the volatile nature of crypto, I doubt institutional and retail investors will allocate large portions of their portfolio as many will also keep an eye on policy and the global ec

If I could only hold one of these stocks through 2026, i’d pick MU because it has the highest EPS. AI and demand for data centres will continue to be one of the top trends for 2026. Memory and storage is set to also be in demand. It’s just that the realisation came a little later than chips. Chips has rallied for most of 2025 and it is clear that shortage of memory might continue well into 2027 as forecast by many analysts. This demand will drive up the price of MU just like how it had happened for Nvidia. Valuation of MU is also lower compared to the chip makers. So, I feel that for 2026, it offers growth potential at a fair value price which means that there is sufficient safety margin for stock price growth and profit for me. @Wayneq

In the evolving landscape of alternative investments, investors face a pivotal choice: direct exposure through private equity (PE) and credit funds, or indirect participation via the stocks of leading alternative asset managers like Blackstone (BX), KKR (KKR), Ares Management (ARES), and Blue Owl Capital (OWL). As of January 2026, with private markets surpassing $13 trillion globally and public managers commanding trillions in assets under management (AUM), this debate is more relevant than ever. Private funds promise potentially higher, illiquid returns tied to underlying assets, while manager stocks offer liquidity, dividends, and leverage to industry growth—but with market volatility.This article examines historical and recent returns, risks, and forward-looking factors to help determin

Google Flips Apple to Reclaim #2: Is the Sprint to $4T a Buy Signal or a Trap? GOOG $329.89 (+0.23%) | Market Cap: $3.89T The hierarchy of Big Tech just got a massive shake-up. For the first time since 2019, Alphabet (Google) has overtaken Apple to become the world’s second most valuable company, sitting at a staggering $3.89 Trillion valuation. This isn't just a daily fluctuation; it’s a statement. While Apple has been battling hardware cycle fatigue, Google has successfully convinced the market that its AI isn't just a science project—it’s a money printing machine. But with the $4 Trillion milestone looming, traders need to ask: Is this the start of a new dominance cycle, or peak euphoria? 1️⃣ The "AI Divergence" Trade is Real The screenshot highlights "diverging AI paths," and this is t

Jensen Huang Just Wiped Out Billions in Thermal Stocks — But Was It a Buy Signal? NVIDIA just dropped a nuclear bomb on the cooling industry with a single sentence. Speaking on the future Vera Rubin platform, Jensen Huang said: > "Our future platform is cooled by 45°C warm water. At this temperature, data centers no longer need traditional chillers." >  The Market’s Knee-Jerk Reaction: Panic selling. Stocks like Vertiv ($VRT) and other thermal management giants took a nosedive. The logic was simple: "NVIDIA doesn't need cooling anymore = Sell." The Reality: The market is dead wrong. The demand for thermal management isn't disappearing—it's getting more expensive, more complex, and more exclusive. If you understand the physics, yesterday’s crash might be the biggest alpha opportu
