Week That Was. If readers have gone through my post for last week cum last Friday, (click here !to read if you have not read it yet) , you would have recalled my moderately “bearish" outlook for stocks that week, citing bearish seasonality, mixed technicals, and uncertainty around the trajectory of oil prices and yields. US Market. Overall for week ending 25 Sep 2026, the 3 composite indexes were: DJIA : -0.21% (-108.14 to 51,828.62). S&P 500 : +0.66% (+50.58 to 7,743.41). Nasdaq: +1.29% (+345.52 to 27,068.72).

$QCOM & $ON - The Next Leg Up May Start With a Pullback
$Qualcomm(QCOM)$ and $ON Semiconductor(ON)$ are at different points in the same setup: Strong momentum → short-term pullback → higher low → next leg higher $QCOM is already up 40%+ since we posted the setup less than 60 days ago. Now price is approaching $200, where I expect some short-term rejection. That doesn't necessarily change the bigger trend. A pause around resistance could simply give the stock room to reset before another move higher. ⚡ Then there’s $ON. It’s up 17% since my last upgrade, but I’m expecting a pullback into next week. The key level to watch is the reaction after that pullback. 📈 If $ON forms a higher low, the next upside objective comes into focus: 🎯 $100 within the next 90 days Dif
10-Year at a 2007 High, VIX Under 15: Why I'm Selling Fewer Puts Right Now Most of my feed this week was about the 10-year, and fair enough. On Thursday the yield hit its highest level since June 2007, and the 30-year is now sitting near 5.49%, the highest since 2004. Then stocks went and closed the week green anyway. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both posted weekly gains, and the Dow snapped a three-week losing streak. I've been running a sell-put / Wheel strategy on US stocks for over five years. This is one of those weeks where the numbers are telling me to do less, not more. Here's how I'm reading it. Quick recap Sept 16: Fed hiked 25 bps in a 12-0 vote, to 3.75%-4.00%. First hike since 2023. The dot plot showed most officials expecting at least one more hike this year. Sept 23: hot S&
TSMC Just Raised AI Spending. These 6 Stocks Target the Bottlenecks Beyond Chips
🚨 AI’s Next Bottleneck Is Bigger Than Chips $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ just delivered record Q2 profit, raised 2026 capex to $60–$64B, and committed another $100B to U.S. chip production. CEO C.C. Wei says conviction in the multi-year AI megatrend remains very high. But here’s the bigger picture: 🧠 AI infrastructure is becoming a full-stack buildout. The bottleneck is no longer just silicon. 🔹 $Broadcom(AVGO)$ — Custom Silicon Hyperscalers are building chips optimized for their own workloads. Broadcom sits at the intersection of custom accelerators and the networking that connects them. 🔹 $Arista Networks(ANET)$ — Networking Thousands of processor
$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ AMD just hit $1T market cap — and my position is flying Holding AMD through this run has been one of my better calls. The stock recently crossed the $1 trillion market-cap mark for the first time, trading around the $630 level after a strong multi-day surge. Year-to-date it’s up roughly 180-195%. That’s the kind of move that turns solid positions into serious gains. What’s driving it is simple and measurable: • Data center revenue more than doubled year-over-year in the latest reported quarter (to about $6.7B). • Overall company revenue grew ~50%. • Demand for EPYC CPUs and Instinct accelerators from hyperscalers and AI customers continues to accelerate. Management has guided for data center to more than double a
