1) Does JPMorgan’s miss signal a broader capital markets slowdown? It can, but it is more “uneven recovery” than a full downturn. Investment banking is highly cyclical: If JPM’s IB revenue came in below guidance, it often reflects slower deal-making (M&A) and more cautious underwriting (IPOs, bonds) across the street, not just a firm-specific issue. High rates delay decisions: Higher discount rates make valuations harder to agree on, so CEOs and PE funds tend to wait longer, pushing deal timelines out. Trading can mask weakness: Even when IB is soft, markets revenue (FICC/equities trading) can hold up. So the signal is: deal activity is not rebounding as fast as hoped, not that the entire capital markets engine has stalled. Bottom line: JPM’s miss likely supports the view that capital
TSM’s $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ blowout quarter pretty much reset the bar for the entire semiconductor space. With margins expanding, AI-driven demand proving real, and capex leaning heavily toward advanced nodes, the market is clearly rewarding execution and visibility — not just a good story. That’s why Intel $Intel(INTC)$ feels like a tougher test. The stock is already up around 30% YTD, expectations on manufacturing progress have been pulled forward, and yet consensus still points to year-over-year declines in both revenue and profits. When expectations run ahead of fundamentals, the margin for disappointment gets very thin. So my pick is 🔴 C. Down more than 5%. After such a strong
Silver’s -5% Freefall: A "Rug Pull" or the Ultimate Buy Signal? 📉🐂 Silver(SImain) iShares Silver Trust(SLV) Gold(GCmain) The "Trump Trade" just claimed its latest victim: the Silver bulls. Spot Silver tanked 5% pre-market today, wiping out weeks of gains in a single session. The catalyst? The Trump administration officially paused broad tariffs on key minerals (including silver) to pursue bilateral talks instead. For weeks, speculators were piling into silver, betting that U.S. tariffs would lock out foreign supply and create a massive "domestic squeeze." That narrative just evaporated. But before you panic-sell your position, you need to understand why this drop is happening—and why Wall Street banks like Citi are quietly telling clients to stay constructive. Here is the deep dive on the

A Quiet Interest in Numbers: Following Flagstar’s Journey
I’ve been thinking a lot about Flagstar Financial (FLG) recently, mostly because their stock is releasing earnings on January 30, 2026. I’m not planning to buy—at least, not yet—but there’s a part of me that can’t help checking. There’s something quietly compelling about watching a company’s story unfold through numbers, seeing whether strategy, effort, and past decisions finally come together. Flagstar Financial, Inc. (FLG) Flagstar’s recent years have been…well, full of changes. Back in April 2021, New York Community Bancorp announced it was acquiring Flagstar in an all-stock merger. It wasn’t a fast process—the deal completed only in December 2022. But then, just a few months later, in March 2023, Flagstar absorbed nearly all of Signature Bank’s deposits after Signature collapsed. I sti

Netflix Is -34% Since June. Here's Its Chart Ahead of Earnings $Netflix(NFLX)$ has fallen 34% from last June's all-time high, with almost half the declines following word the streaming giant aims to buy $Warner Bros.

$CRITICAL METALS CORPORATION(CRML)$ is a play on Greenland and rare earth minerals rather than Austrian Lithium or EU. At least that is what the latest surge in price is about. With Trump talking up taking over Greenland following the military operation in Venezuela, market has priced in the possibility of Trump participation in CRML's resources ownership via US government. CRML happened to announce a series of positive resources and offtake related news that sent market into frenzy. Yes, another asset carried in CRML's book is the Austrian Lithium mine, however the recent spike has nothing to do with it. CRML is not doing anything over that mine, so it doesn't make sense to link the current spike to that. Just a statement to correct your narrati
Micron's $400B Milestone: AI Ignites Explosive Memory Boom or Bubble Burst Ahead? 🔥💥
$Micron Technology(MU)$ Buckle up, folks—Micron Technology just shattered records, catapulting its market cap beyond $400 billion after an epic 8% surge! 📈 This isn't just another stock pop; it's fueled by Citigroup's chilling alert on a potential "runaway surge" in memory chip prices throughout 2026. With AI gobbling up bandwidth like never before, tight supplies are clashing with skyrocketing demand from data centers, edge devices, and autonomous systems. Jensen Huang from Nvidia nailed it: AI is shifting to a memory-first world where models "think" longer and hoard more context. That means DRAM and HBM are the new gold rush! 🌟 But let's dive deep—can this pricing frenzy propel Micron even higher? Analysts are buzzing with price targets hitting $4
Silver's Wild Ride: Epic Reset or Squeeze Over? 🚀💥
Buckle up, metal maniacs! Silver just took a nosedive, shedding over 5% in a flash before markets even woke up. 😱 But hold your horses—is this the death knell for the silver squeeze, or just a cheeky breather before it blasts off again? Let's dive deep into the chaos with fresh insights straight from the trenches. 🌟 First off, spot silver's chilling around $90 per ounce right now, clawing back from a brutal low near $86 after peaking at a mind-blowing $93.75. 📉 Why the tumble? Blame it on the Trump crew hitting pause on those hefty tariffs for critical minerals like silver and platinum. Instead of slapping on broad import taxes, they're opting for cozy bilateral chats to secure supplies. 📜 This eases the global tightness that's been squeezing prices sky-high, potentially unleashing outflow
