Economic and Earnings Calendar (05Oct2026)
Economic Calendar (05Oct2026) Economic calendar for the week (source: Investing.com) After last week’s triple-feature (RBA, PCE, payrolls), this week is deliberately quiet — which makes each item carry more weight, and leaves the tape more exposed to headlines than to data. China is on Golden Week holiday Monday to Wednesday, thinning Asia liquidity. 1. FOMC minutes (Wednesday 7 October, 2:00 pm ET). The one genuine event of the week: the record of the meeting that delivered the first rate rise in three years (to 3.75–4.00%). After Friday’s soft payrolls (+29K — see below), the minutes tell us how much of the decision was inflation-fighting conviction versus insurance. Watch the language on oil pass-through and on how many participants wanted to signal another rise in October. [Investing.c

Muse and my investing muse (05Oct2026)
News and my thoughts from the past week (05Oct2026) The fuel cluster (📷 1–4): 1. 📷 Diesel will “not return to normal for a year.” Energy executives in the Dallas Fed survey expect high fuel costs to persist — with pump signs already showing diesel above US$8/gallon in places and petrol above US$6. This is no longer a spike; it is being budgeted as a condition. - Financial Times Diesel above US$8/gallon at the pump (FT, via Benson) 2. 📷 China’s refiners suspend October fuel exports; PetroChina cancels cargoes. The world’s swing supplier of refined products is keeping its fuel at home. - Reuters, 1 October China refiners suspend October fuel exports (Reuters, via Benson) 3. 📷 India’s MRPL cancels three export tenders (diesel, jet fuel, reformate) after a refinery fire. - hydrocarbonprocessin

4Q26 Outlook | Good global growth is proving stronger than late cycle risks
The case for staying invested: Growth still outweighs the risks Over the past few months, investors have become increasingly focused on a range of late-cycle risks. Rising bond yields, persistent inflation, fuller capacity utilisation and labour markets with low unemployment rates have all contributed to concerns that the current economic expansion is operating under late cycle conditions. As a long-term investor, these are risks that I continue to monitor closely. Yet, despite an increasingly complex backdrop, the global economy continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience. Growth remains broadly supported across major regions, corporate earnings continue to exceed expectations, and business investment remains healthy. While the current environment exhibits several late-cycle characteri
TOPResilience does look stronger than expected, but capex durability still feels underpriced. If business investment holds, late-cycle scare probably stays just a scare

One Side Of The Wheel Had A Great Week. The Other Expires Friday.
Mathematical Money | October 4, 2026 $MARA$ closed Friday at $11.24. A week earlier it was $12.53, so that's down 10.3% in five sessions and roughly 15% below where it traded in mid-September. I run both sides of a wheel on this name — calls above the position, puts below it. This week the two sides did completely opposite things, which is a useful illustration of what you're actually signing up for when you sell premium in both directions. The calls paid, because the stock fell On 18 September I sold calls at the $14 strike expiring 9 October, taking $0.73 each. By Thursday the stock had dropped far enough that those contracts were worth $0.0565 — effectively nothing. I closed them for a realised gain of $2,633 and immediately wrote new ones at the $13 strike, two weeks further out, for $
TOPAssignment is the strategy working, especially if covered calls reset your basis fast. I care more about IV rank here though — if vol is still rich, rolling the puts keeps the theta cleaner

I asked an AI which religion it would convert to. Its answer shocked everyone
POV: You ask an ChatGPT to pick a religion... Ans : If I had to hypothetically choose one religion to believe in and genuinely convert to, rather than just pick one based on culture or family background, I'd probably lean toward Buddhism, especially a more philosophical/less dogmatic form. Why: Emphasis on reducing suffering rather than simply obeying rules. Self-examination and mindfulness are central. It encourages questioning and examining one's own experience rather than requiring unquestioning faith. The ideas of impermanence, attachment, compassion, and acceptance make a lot of sense to me philosophically. There is relatively strong compatibility between Buddhist practice and a scientific/naturalistic worldview, although different Buddhist traditions make different superna

HDD Stocks Plunge 10%: Are Seagate and WDC Losing Their Scarcity Premium?
HDD stocks took a sharp hit in the latest session. $Seagate Technology(STX)$ and $Western Digital(WDC)$ both fell about 10.2%, even as the broader tech market held up much better. This was not a broad AI hardware selloff. The pressure was concentrated in HDD names, and the trigger came from Toshiba. Toshiba reportedly plans to invest around ¥60 billion to expand its Philippine operations and roughly double HDD capacity for AI data centers by fiscal 2027 compared with 2025 levels. The company is also targeting a much larger share of the global HDD market over time. That immediately raised a key concern for investors: if the industry’s No. 3 player starts adding meaningful capacity, how long can Seagate and W
TOPI think the selloff in Seagate and WDC is mainly about future supply, not weakening AI storage demand. Toshiba’s planned capacity expansion reminds the market that strong demand and high margins will eventually attract more competition. The key concern is whether the current HDD scarcity and pricing power can last into 2027 and beyond. Personally, I do not think the AI storage thesis is broken yet. Toshiba’s new capacity will take time to ramp, while hyperscalers continue investing heavily in AI infrastructure. I would watch Toshiba’s ramp-up, long-term supply agreements and HDD pricing closely before drawing any major conclusions. For me, the key question is simple: can AI storage demand keep growing faster than HDD supply? If yes, this 10% drop could prove to be an overreaction. If supply grows too quickly and pricing weakens, however, it could be an early warning that the HDD cycle is changing. @TigerStars @Tiger_comments @Tiger_SG @TigerClub @WallStreet_Tiger

3 Big Watches: $AMD, $AAPL, $NVDA
🔥 3 BIG WATCHES FOR THE NEXT MOVE I’m watching three very different setups: 1️⃣ $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ — Continuation Setup Double hammer candles on the daily chart. 🔨🔨 If the continuation confirms, I’m watching: 🎯 $635 → $640 Calls are the trade I’m watching here. $AMD closed at $633.91 on Oct. 2, putting those levels directly in focus. 2️⃣ $Apple(AAPL)$ — Bottom Confirmation $AAPL had a big reversal yesterday. Now I’m watching for confirmation that the bottom is in. 🔑 $325 is the level.

$TSLA Reclaims $350, $ON Hits +30%, $NVDA Nears Target
Here’s what I’m watching across the board 👇 🚀 $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ — Bulls Reclaim $350 Bulls reclaimed $350 support, keeping the bullish structure intact. Well done to anyone who held through the pullback. $380 is the next major resistance that needs to be taken out. 📈 $ON Semiconductor(ON)$ — +30% Since My Trade $ON is now up +30% since I made the video going over my trade. I’m still bullish over the next 6–12 months, but I’m anticipating a rejection around $85 → $90.

$AMD Hammer Candle Before the Reversal
🔨 FIND THIS $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ HAMMER CANDLE ON THE DAILY CHART. This is what $AMD looked like before the reversal. Scary, right? 👀 But here’s the key: The hammer itself isn’t the buy signal. The confirmation is. 🎯 The setup 1️⃣ Wait for confirmation The next day, let price break above the hammer’s high. 2️⃣ Enter on strength Don’t anticipate the reversal.Let buyers prove they’re taking control. 3️⃣ Define the risk Place your stop below the hammer’s low. If that level breaks, the setup failed. 4️⃣ Target the bounce Look for the next major resistance level or roughly 2–3R. 5️⃣ Follow the plan ❌ Don’t chase ❌ Don’t average down ❌ Don’t turn a reversal trade into a long-term hold 💡 The $AMD hammer tells you where buyers showed up.

$SPX Hammer Candle Is Signaling a Bounce
👀 $S&P 500(.SPX)$ is showing a potential bounce setup. The hammer candle bounced directly off the 50-day moving average, which suggests buyers are stepping in at an important level. But the setup has a clear line in the sand: 🔑 $7,656 must hold today. More importantly… 🚀 A move above $7,690 would break the bearish diagonal trendline and give the bounce a stronger technical confirmation. So I’m watching two levels: $7,656 → support$7,690 → bullish trigger One more gap up for the books. 📈 And yes… I expect this gap to get filled eventually. 👀 Markets are always moving - and sometimes, the best move is knowing what works for you.

$SPX Held the Range as Yields Finally Reversed
The stock market experienced choppy, indecisive price action in the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ and $E-mini S&P 500 - main 2612(ESmain)$ struggled under the weight of surging bond yields. For most of the week, the 10-year Treasury yield surged as high as 5.35% early Thursday to set a fresh 24 year high, while the 30-year yield touched 5.62%, the highest level since 2002. This bond sell-off was fueled by a combination of fears that a resilient economy would keep interest rates higher for longer and escalating conflict involving Iran. Mid-week data kept investors on edge by presenting a mixed economic picture. The August Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index showed cooling inflationary pressur

📊 Market Recap 'NKE' closed at $33.87 on October 3, down -3.64%, just above its new 52-week low of $31.97. The stock has fallen about 56% from its 52-week high of $76.97, trading at levels not seen since 2013 as weak quarterly results crushed investor confidence. 🚀 Key Drivers Q1 Revenue Miss: Nike reported fiscal Q1 revenue of $11.21 billion, down 4% year-over-year and below the consensus estimate of $11.33 billion.
