Iggy’s Journal: The Price of Retirement Income: What S$1,000, S$2,000 and S$3,000 a Month Actually Cost Today
Iggy’s Journal: The Price of Retirement Income: What S$1,000, S$2,000 and S$3,000 a Month Actually Cost Today Sat 10 Oct 2026 | Midday The Numbers The same S$2,000 a month needs S$600,000 at CPF’s 4 percent floor rate, but S$1.25 million at the 1.92 percent six-month T-bill yield. The gap is S$650,000, and it comes from the yield assumed, not from any difference in lifestyle. My 4.7 percent hurdle asks for S$510,638. A dividend can be cut, while the T-bill yield resets at every auction. For someone still saving, the target moves whenever the yield moves. At 1.92 percent, S$200,000 pays S$320 a month. At 4 percent, the same S$200,000 pays S$667 a month. CPF’s 4 percent is a useful yardstick, but it is not money you can generally draw monthly in the way T-bill income can be drawn. My Persona
TOPcheeryx: The 4% vs 1.92% gap is the whole story. For retirement planning, inflation-linked options like Singapore Savings Bonds probably matter more than a static headline yield.

🚨 THE BIGGEST TELECOM SHAKEUP IN HISTORY IS HERE 🚨
For decades, telecom and internet giants have dominated with limited competition, slow innovation, and increasingly mediocre service. $Space Exploration Technologies Corp(SPCX)$ is about to change that forever. 💥 1. The US Shockwave $AT&T Inc(T)$ , $Verizon(VZ)$ , and $T-Mobile US(TMUS)$ stocks just tanked after Elon Musk announced plans to turn Starlink into a major mobile carrier. Why? Because consumers are tired of bad customer service and high bills with no real alternatives. Seeing old-school giants get disrupted is long overdue! 2. The Genius "Walkie-Talkie" Move 📱
TOPTower capex and auction debt are the real drag here. Reusable launch plus distressed spectrum is a nasty cost curve shift for T, VZ and TMUS

The Snake Swallowing the Elephant: The $110B Takeover That Shook Hollywood
Chapter 1: The Ambitious Heir and His Hollywood Dream $Paramount(PGRE)$ $Netflix(NFLX)$ $Paramount Skydance Corp(SKYD)$ In the glittering but brutal world of Hollywood, empires rise and fall with the box office. A new player emerged with deep pockets and bigger ambitions.David Ellison, son of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison (one of the world’s richest men), had long chased a movie dream. He founded Skydance Media, a production company that co-financed hits and rode along on big films without controlling a major studio. Hollywood’s old guard often kept him at arm’s length. Some talent preferred not to work with the tech heir.
TOPThat old-studio cold shoulder part is dead real. What they did not really unpack is how Skydance IP gets wired into Paramount distribution, because that changes Netflix licensing leverage fast

Stock of the Day: Humana Jumps 11% — Is Healthcare Back on Investors’ Radar?
$Humana(HUM)$ caught investors’ attention on Friday, with its shares surging 11.6% following encouraging news about its Medicare Advantage ratings for 2027. The sharp move puts this healthcare insurer back on the radar. But is there more room to run, or has the market already priced in the good news? 🏥 What Is Humana? Humana is a US health insurance company with a major focus on Medicare Advantage, government-supported health insurance plans for eligible Americans aged 65 and older and certain younger people with qualifying conditions. Its business depends heavily on attracting and retaining members, managing healthcare costs and operating its insurance plans efficiently. 📈 Why Is the Stock Moving? Medicare Advantage star ratings are important
TOP11% pop is loud, but holding that move matters more. I care more about membership growth over the next few quarters, that is the real driver here

$Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares(TSLL)$ $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Support / Resistance 📈📉: Support: $374, $364, $357-358 Resistance: $382.5, $393, $403 Outlook 📝: Today, TSLA opened above $374. If TSLA manage to hold $374, we should be able to see more short term upside towards $382.5 If TSLA break and hold $382.5, we maybe able to see $393. If TSLA rejects at $382.5, then watch for $374 support. Else if TSLA rejects at $374, then watch for support back at $364. If TSLA rejects at $364, then watch for support at $357-358. Target 🎯: Entered these TSLL position when TSLA was trading around $379 level. Exited 1/3 of my TSLL positions earlier when TSLA rebounded back to $384. Will review
TOP382.5 is the line. If volume stalls there, this rebound probably fades fast back toward 374

Aiyah Elon! 14 Kids Not Enough? Muthu Boy Says Find Girlfriend Like Tiffany Fong Instead
Elon Musk ‘DM’d Influencer Tiffany Fong To Request She Have His Baby, Then Cut Her X Payments When He Refused’ $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $Space Exploration Technologies Corp(SPCX)$ Elon Musk seems to have invented a new type of workplace harassment after DM’ing random women on X who he’s never met before and asking if he can impregnate them. Despite having 13 kids with four different women already, Elon Musk seems to be on a mission to spread his seed as far and wide as possible, reportedly asking crypto influencer Tiffany Fong to have a baby with him. Muthu Boy's Take: Wah, liao eh! Elon brother, you got so much money and space rockets, but your pickup lines standard drop lower than my port
TOPIt’s natural for the fittest to survive mode, so animals usually have lots of offspring so to spread their “fit” seeds to the future generations. In this sense, 14 is but a number, especially if you don’t have to care about those offspring. As a trillionaire, he’s powerful definitely. Doing what he wants has been his trademark, isn’t it? So, it shouldn’t be surprising. Remember, I did asked if you wanted to know Elon some time ago? [Tongue][Silence][Chuckle] Prata boy, don’t get too famous, or he will DM you next [Evil][Facepalm][LOL]

The Board Is Pricing ±8.9% On Netflix Earnings. The Downside Break-Even Sits Below The 52-Week Low
$Netflix(NFLX)$ Mathematical Money | October 9, 2026 $NFLX$ closed Thursday at $71.57. That's down 23.7% this year, 42.3% below the 52-week high of $124.14, and only 6.7% above a 52-week low of $67.06 that was set on 2 October. Seven days ago. Netflix reports third-quarter results after the close on Tuesday 20 October. I own long-dated calls on it and I had a decision to make before then, so I did what I always do before an event and wrote the number down first. What the options board is actually pricing I captured this on Friday morning, before the event rather than after it. The 23 October expiry, which is the first one that contains the earnings date, has an at-the-money strike of $72. The call was $3.05 at the midpoint and the put
TOPI usually do not write calls into NFLX earnings unless the setup is seriously stretched. At 71 with that much pessimism baked in, giving up the upside feels pricier than the premium lol

AI FEARS SHAKE WALL STREET
One report. One wave of uncertainty. And suddenly, the AI trade looks a lot more fragile. Thursday’s sell-off showed just how quickly sentiment can shift when doubts emerge about the companies driving the artificial intelligence boom. According to a Financial Times report, OpenAI’s annualized recurring revenue was reportedly $20 billion below previously indicated levels. OpenAI has not confirmed that figure, but the report was enough to trigger fresh concerns about its growth trajectory and competitive position. The market reaction was swift. The $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ plunged 1.25%, marking its worst session since mid-August. The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ fell 0.47%, while semiconductor stocks took an even bigger hi
TOPThat ARR number is still unconfirmed, so this selloff feels a bit too eager. If one FT report can shake the whole AI trade, sentiment was flimsier than people wanted to admit

Free Weekly Stock Market Commentary 10/9/26
$TVIX$ $UVIX$ $DECP$ By Lawrence G. McMillan Things seemed so promising on Tuesday, when $SPX traded at new all-time intraday and closing highs. But almost immediately after the market closed that day, selling set in. While it hasn't been heavy selling, it has pushed $SPX back down into the previous trading range. Essentially, the upside breakout wasn't a breakout at all, but merely a slight extension of the trading range. The net result is that there is still resistance at the all-time highs, 7820-7844. There is near-term support at 7720, then stronger support as shown by the red horizontal line in Figure 1, at 7580-7620. The market internals hav
