GE’s $210 billion order book looks enormous. I think the more interesting number is the $179 billion hiding inside it. GE Aerospace has developed a curious habit: beat expectations, raise guidance — and watch the shares fall anyway. That is not necessarily irrational. It tells me the argument around GE has changed. Investors are no longer asking whether the business is improving. They are asking whether it can improve fast enough to justify a valuation already anticipating considerable success. That makes GE particularly interesting now. The company is also becoming something different from a conventional aerospace manufacturer. Engines provide the spectacle, but increasingly the installed fleet provides the economics. The central investment question is therefore less about how many engine

🐶 Options Puppy Beginner Guide: How I Trade China A50 Futures During Market Holidays 🇨🇳 Why I Started Looking at Futures I am usually known as Options Puppy because I like selling options and collecting premiums, but sometimes I also trade futures when I see a short-term opportunity. For me, futures are not about trying to predict the market perfectly. Instead, I use them as another tool to trade short-term movements in the market. One example is the FTSE China A50 Index Futures traded on SGX. This gives me exposure to the movement of large-cap Chinese A-share companies without having to buy individual Chinese stocks. The important thing for a beginner is to understand that futures are different from stocks and options. Futures use margin and can create profits or losses quickly, so I need

Hi Tigers 🐯, Welcome to "What The Tigers Say." 👋 Memory led this week's rally as the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ closed at a record — $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$, $Micron Technology(MU)$ and $SK hynix(SKHY)$ all pushing higher on the back of tightening capacity, with about two-thirds of next year's memory output already sold. But the moves have been messy to read: index flows, cyclical debate, and stock-specific catalysts are all tangled together. Let's rewind to the three sharpest takes from @Isleigh,

Since September, the market has not entered a period of broad-based risk-on sentiment. Instead, it has exhibited a structurally bullish bias led by technology stocks. The Nasdaq 100 has continued to make new highs for the current phase, while the S&P 500 has remained near its highs but has clearly lagged behind. At the same time, the decline in oil prices has eased inflationary and interest-rate pressures. The market is rewarding earnings expectations for AI and large-cap technology companies, but it has not abandoned its defenses against high valuations, economic growth risks, and geopolitical events. Below are distribution charts of trading volume and open interest in major futures options listed on CME Group, used to observe market expectations and risk protection across different p

The $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ Composite closed 2.3 per cent higher on Monday at a record, its first since June; the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ closed 1.49 per cent higher at 7,764.70, which leaves it 0.4 per cent short of its own record; the $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ closed 0.7 per cent higher. What brought risk appetite back was falling oil prices and lower Treasury yields, and no company put out an announcement that day big enough to move the whole market. The $Philadelphia Semiconductor Index(SOX)$ rose 4.3 per cent, a fifth straight session of gains. The distance that opened up

The indices: three of them, three directions On Tuesday the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ Composite closed 0.45 per cent higher at 27,244.28, up 122.18 points on the day and a second straight close at a record; the $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ closed 0.36 per cent lower at 51,863.69, down 185.14 points, with $Cisco(CSCO)$, $JPMorgan Chase(JPM)$ and American Express leading the fallers at 4.50 per cent, 3.35 per cent and 2.62 per cent lower respectively; and the S&P 500 finished at 7,764.64, just 0.06 points below the 7,764.70 it closed at the previous session. That list of Dow f
