I am cautiously bullish on $Micron Technology(MU)$ going into earnings. Memory pricing and strong AI-driven HBM demand remain key positives, although expectations are already high. I will be watching HBM pricing, customer agreements and next-quarter guidance closely. Strong guidance could support the view that this memory upcycle still has room to run. I also want to see whether demand remains strong enough to support pricing power. I hold MU and remain bullish long term, but I prefer adding gradually on pullbacks rather than chasing after earnings. The memory cycle can turn quickly, so I am staying disciplined. For me, the long-term AI memory story remains intact. So I go for Flat! Maybe slightly green.
TOPMaria_yy: Two more quarters of upcycle still sounds right to me. If data center orders are really booked out through year end, guidance matters more than the flat setup.

Memory Prices Up 500% — Bull Signal or Cost Warning? “Memory prices are up more than 500%.” That was enough to send memory stocks higher Thursday. $Micron Technology(MU)$ Micron gained 5.50%, SanDisk 6.21% and SK hynix 4.64%, while Intel jumped 7.67%. But there is an important detail investors shouldn’t overlook: The 500% figure describes what a buyer is paying — not necessarily what memory manufacturers are earning. $Intel(INTC)$ Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan was describing the severity of the memory-cost increase from a buyer’s perspective. Other industry pricing data show much more gradual quarter-to-quarter increases in server and mobile DRAM, so the exact product, starting point and time

$InnoTek(M14.SI)$ She is back to 46.5 cents, looks rather interesting! Likely to rise up to test 50 cents. EBITDA for the period under review increased 9.0% from S$6.9 million in 1H’25, underscoring the Group’s strengthening business operations. Profit before tax stood at S$0.7 million in 1H’26, compared to S$0.8 million in 1H’25, mainly due to a foreign exchange (“forex”) loss of S$1.6 million in 1H’26 from a forex gain of S$0.3 million a year ago. Net profit attributable to owners of the Company was S$0.1 million, compared to S$0.4 million a year ago. Net cash flows from operating activities rose to S$9.7 million in 1H’26 from S$3.6 million in 1H’25. The Group’s balance sheet remained healthy, with a net cash position of S$66.8 million as at

[你懂的] $Arteris (AIP): The Company Building the “Highways” Inside AI Chips Let’s start with the simplest explanation: Arteris doesn’t manufacture chips. It provides the IP that helps different parts of a chip communicate with each other. Modern AI chips can contain CPUs, GPUs/NPUs, memory controllers, caches, accelerators, security blocks, and I/O interfaces — all of which need to move massive amounts of data. As chips become more complex, especially with the rise of Chiplets and multi-die architectures, moving data efficiently inside the chip becomes a major engineering challenge. That is where Arteris comes in. Its Network-on-Chip (NoC) technology can essentially be viewed as the highway system inside a chip, helping different IP blocks communicate efficiently while balan

Axcelis: The Cycle Has a Memory
Axcelis Technologies is an awkward stock to analyse — which is precisely why I find it interesting. The easy story says Axcelis is a semiconductor-equipment company whose silicon-carbide boom collided with slowing electric-vehicle investment and Chinese overcapacity. Revenue peaked at $1.13 billion in 2023, slipped to $1.02 billion in 2024 and fell again to $839 million in 2025. Trailing twelve-month revenue has recovered slightly to $866 million, but earnings have continued south. That looks suspiciously like a cyclical peak. Yet underneath it, the business mix is changing. Memory is returning, AI infrastructure is creating demand for decidedly unglamorous power-management chips, aftermarket revenue is expanding, and $Axcelis(ACLS)$ is attempting
TOPI think the market cares less about what Axcelis becomes than whether it can out-earn this cycle first. Memory helps, but shipment mix still feels like the real proof

[思考] Higher for Longer doesn’t scare me. It changes what I’m willing to pay for. If I had $10,000 to invest today and believed interest rates would remain elevated for longer, I wouldn’t simply move everything into cash—or try to perfectly time the next Fed move. My first question would be: What can still compound earnings and cash flow when the cost of money stays high? That distinction matters. When risk-free yields are attractive, investors no longer have to pay any price for growth. Higher rates can pressure long-duration assets, highly leveraged companies and businesses whose valuations depend heavily on profits far into the future. But that doesn’t mean every growth company becomes unattractive. It means quality, cash flow and pricing power become more valuable. 💰 How woul
TOPThat 20% drawdown frame matters. In the last five tightening-end setups, the S&P pulled back about 18% on average before the first cut, but the bigger edge was stock selection, not perfect timing.

It All Comes Down to Rates: Are Hawkish Expectations Overpriced and Treasury Yields Near a Peak?
English version: If there is only one number worth watching closely in today's market, it is probably the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield. It is no longer just a KPI for bond traders; it has become a common pricing anchor for U.S. equities, gold, crude oil and even Bitcoin. With that anchor pushed to a historic high of 5.2%, and the market having priced in both of the remaining rate hikes this year, a more important question arises: How much higher can it go? $美国2年期国债收益率(US2Y.BOND)$ $美国10年期国债收益率(US10Y.BOND)$ $美元ETF-PowerShares DB(UUP)$ I.

🎁Still Holding NVIDIA? A Smarter Way to Think About Covered Calls
US stocks have recently turned more volatile as oil prices, Treasury yields and other macro factors weigh on sentiment. At the same time, tech stocks are moving in very different directions, with NVIDIA showing relative strength while some semiconductor names pull back. For long-term investors, this creates a familiar dilemma: You still believe in the stock, but you may not expect a sharp rise in the near term. So what can you do while holding it? A Covered Call is one common options strategy. It combines holding shares with selling a Call option. You keep your stock, set a price at which you are willing to sell, and receive an option premium upfront. But the premium is not “risk-free income”. The key trade-off is simple: Give up part of the future upside in exchange for premium today. 1.
TOPMy view: A Covered Call is useful when you are long-term bullish but only moderately bullish in the short term. You collect premium while holding the stock. If the stock stays below the strike, you generally keep the shares and premium. If the stock suddenly jumps far above the strike, your upside is limited. If the stock falls heavily, the premium only provides a small cushion. The most important question is: “Would I really be happy selling my 100 shares at the strike price?” For example, with NVDA at $100, selling a $110 Call makes sense only if $110 is genuinely your acceptable selling price. Bottom line: Covered Calls are not “free income.” You are selling some future upside in exchange for premium today. For beginners, choosing the right strike and understanding assignment risk are more important than chasing a high premium.

Micron Earnings Preview: Is the Memory Supercycle Peaking?
After the US close this Wednesday,$Micron Technology(MU)$ reports Q4 FY2026. Analysts are forecasting ~$51.5B in revenue, up 355% YoY, and adjusted EPS of about $31.8, up 1,004% YoY. On valuation, MU trades at a P/E of 23.66 — well off the extreme highs seen in 2024, but still sitting around the middle of its historical range. Breaking down the revenue, Micron's business splits into three segments: DRAM, NAND, and others. DRAM is the main growth engine, driven by AI server demand — Q4 revenue from DRAM is expected to jump 325% YoY. NAND is also surging on both price and volume, with Q4 revenue up 446% YoY. DRAM alone is expected to contribute ~$38.2B, roughly 75% of total revenue. This whole upcycle is being powered by AI compute dem

Claude Now Leads 26% of the Work Building Anthropic’s Next AI Models
Anthropic says Claude is taking a growing role in developing the models that will succeed it. As of August, Claude “leads” 26% of Anthropic’s model R&D work, up from virtually none earlier this year. Under the framework used by Anthropic, “leads” means Claude can complete most of a task end-to-end from a high-level prompt, with a human still supervising. More than 90% of R&D work is now at least AI-collaborative. That’s an important distinction: Anthropic says Claude is not yet fully autonomous in any measured area of its R&D. But the direction of travel is striking. The company developed the new R&D Automation Index to track how much AI is contributing to building future AI, and potentially how close frontier labs are getting to recursive self-improvement.

Meta Isn’t Betting on One Gadget — It’s Betting on the AI Device Era
What if $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ doesn’t actually need its next AI gadget to become a blockbuster? That’s the more interesting part of the story. Meta’s latest push goes beyond Muse itself. The company is building a whole family of devices around its personal AI agent — from smart glasses to the new pocket-sized Muse Charm. Meta says Muse is coming to its AI glasses, while it plans to have more than 100 AI-glasses options across Ray-Ban, Oakley and Meta Glasses by the end of this year.  That changes the investment story. Instead of asking: “Will this particular gadget succeed?” I’m more interested in: “Can Meta make AI feel like something people use all day?” The glasses are especially interesting because they move AI away from a s

VOO's Historic gains, Risks to investors. Really?
According to Vanguard, as of 31 Aug 2026, the $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO)$ held roughly $1.76 trillion in total net assets and anchors retirement portfolios nationwide. Most holders treat it as a broadly diversified position across 500 companies. With an expense ratio of mere 0.03% that makes the cost nearly invisible. A $500 monthly contribution since VOO’s September 2010 launch would have grown to roughly $330,000, powered by VOO’s +825% price return over the same window. According to 24/7 Wall St, VOO’s price appreciation has been fueled almost entirely by mega-cap technology names such as $NVIDIA(NVDA)$, $Apple(AAPL)$ and

How to Navigate Higher for Longer Interest Rates
🌟🌟🌟The financial landscape has shifted beneath our feet. For over a decade, investors were coddled by a world of near zero interest rates. It was an environment where free flowing money inflated speculative growth and fundamentals were often treated as an afterthought. Today that illusion is gone. We have transitioned into a restrictive higher for longer interest rate regime where central banks hold rates elevated to combat persistent inflation and a stubborn US bond market where 10 year yields have pierced past 5%. In this new reality, cheap leverage is a relic of the past. Companies relying on debt to survive are facing an operational winter. It is enough to make any sane investor want to log out of their brokerage account, cash it all out and physically stuff the

If interest rates stay higher for longer, I would not sit entirely in cash waiting for the “perfect” entry. I would adjust my allocation, keep investing, and make higher yields work in my favour. The latest Fed decision reinforces this scenario. In September, the Fed raised the federal funds target range to 3.75–4.00%, while its median projection puts the policy rate at 4.1% at the end of both 2026 and 2027. Inflation is also projected to remain above the 2% target for some time. If I had $10,000 to deploy today, my allocation would look roughly like this: 📈 $5,000 – Global/U.S. equities I would continue accumulating diversified ETFs rather than trying to time the bottom. Within equities, I would favour profitable, cash-generative companies with strong balance sheets. Higher borrowing cost
