To The Moon

Something very interesting is happening inside semiconductors. Memory stocks are being crushed. Yet Nvidia, AMD and Intel have shown relative strength. At first glance, that looks contradictory. If investors are worried about AI spending, should the entire semiconductor complex not be falling together? I do not think so. The market is beginning to separate AI compute scarcity from memory scarcity. And that distinction could determine where I put my next dollar. 🔥 WHY MONEY IS ROTATING FROM MEMORY INTO COMPUTE For much of 2026, the semiconductor trade was beautifully simple: AI demand rises → chips become scarce → memory becomes scarce → pricing rises → margins explode → almost everything semiconductor goes up. That simplicity is disappearing. Memory now faces a new question from China's CX

$Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$  🔥 Hot CPI, TSMC Earnings, AI Stocks, Interest Rates, TLT, SPY & QQQ 🐶 1️⃣ My Market View: Wall Street Has an Inflation Problem Again! Good morning, fellow investors! 🐾 Today, my Options Puppy market notebook is watching two major forces fighting for control of Wall Street: inflation and the AI investment boom. Yesterday’s US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report came in hotter than expected. Headline inflation increased by 3.7% year over year in September, while core CPI, which excludes food and energy, climbed to 2.6%. Headline CPI rose 0.6% month over month, and core CPI increased 0.3%. Rising gasoline prices were a major contributor, but inflationary pressure was not limited to energy. Shelter, use

This memory correction has gone from uncomfortable to brutal. Micron has fallen from above $1,000 to roughly $874 in the screenshot. SanDisk is around $1,336. SK Hynix has been hammered, and leveraged memory products have suffered even more. The immediate culprit is China's CXMT. Its new 4F² DRAM architecture potentially allows more memory cells to fit into the same area, and CXMT says it intends to launch server-grade DDR5 products using the technology before year-end. That matters. But there is one enormous distinction investors should not overlook: CXMT has demonstrated technological progress. It has not yet demonstrated high-volume, high-yield, economically competitive production. The market is currently pricing those two things almost as if they were the same. I think that is prematur

The market: inflation returned as AI hardware faced both rate and earnings pressure The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ fell 1.11 per cent to 7,718.94 on Wednesday, while $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ lost 1.97 per cent to close at US$728.95. Headline CPI rose 3.7 per cent from a year earlier in September, above the market's 3.6 per cent expectation and August's 3.4 per cent reading. The return of inflation pushed rate expectations higher, and technology fell substantially more than the broader market. As rate expectations move higher, the present value of future earnings falls; the more a share price depends on growth further into the future, the greater the valuation pressure. AI hardware also f

Today feels very different from the easy momentum days. Nasdaq is down nearly 2%. Hot CPI has brought the higher-for-longer narrative roaring back. AI names are being deleveraged. Memory stocks have another headache from CXMT. And suddenly, stocks investors were desperate to buy weeks ago look frightening again. I actually like markets like this. Not because I enjoy seeing my portfolio red 😅, but because fear creates price separation. Good companies fall. Questionable companies fall. Speculative companies fall. The opportunity is figuring out which is which. My five watches today are Micron (MU), Circle (CRCL), SanDisk (SNDK), Rezolve AI (RZLV) and Beyond Meat (BYND). But I am treating each very differently. 🔥 MU: THE ONE I MOST WANT TO BUY LOWER MU around $874 is becoming very interesting

A long-awaited product event, chipmaking discussions and an energy milestone put Tesla in focus ahead of its October 21 earnings report. Hey Tigers 🐯 — Tesla is heading into another closely watched product event, but its stock is arriving under pressure. $特斯拉(TSLA)$ closed October 14 at $367.16, down 2.15%, ahead of its delayed Roadster presentation. The stock has fallen 2.82% over five trading days, despite retaining a 2.28% gain over the past month. The broader picture remains challenging, with shares down 7.32% over three months and 18.36% year to date. That puts the Roadster reveal in focus as investors look for concrete progress to support a recovery.Meanwhile, $台积电(TSM)$</

Anthropic's revenue growth is starting to look less like a startup story — and more like the early financials of a very large technology company. The Claude maker told prospective IPO investors that Q3 revenue reached $16.8 billion, up 45% from $11.6 billion in Q2. Even more importantly, Anthropic said it was profitable on an adjusted basis during the quarter. That creates a new question for AI investors: Can frontier AI move from massive revenue growth to a genuinely scalable, profitable business model? Until now, most of the AI investment story has focused on how much money companies are spending. Anthropic may be giving investors one of the first serious tests of how much money the model layer can actually make. 📈 The Revenue Curve Is Getting Hard to Ignore Anthropic's reported quarterl

The market finally got the inflation number it did not want. September CPI rose 3.7% year over year, hotter than expected. QQQ fell 1.97%, the S&P 500 dropped 1.11%, and the damage underneath the indices was considerably worse in some of the highest-beta AI and semiconductor names. The immediate market equation is simple: Hotter CPI → fewer rate cuts → higher bond yields → higher discount rates → lower tech valuations. But I think investors make a mistake if they stop the analysis there. Inflation can compress the price investors are willing to pay for technology. It does not automatically destroy the earnings those companies are producing. That distinction determines whether this is the beginning of something much worse or the creation of another buying opportunity. WHY TECH IS TAKING

Overnight, US stocks sold off sharply — $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ fell 1.88%, with tech shares taking a heavy hit. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ dropped more than 3%, $SK hynix(SKHY)$ slid over 6%, and $ASML Holding NV(ASML)$ still tumbled nearly 4% despite beating Q3 estimates. CoreWeave, which provides cloud AI compute to customers, crashed 15%! $CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ Hit by this, South Korea’s stock market — known for its memory-chip names — plunged, with the KOSPI down nearly 8%, approaching its early-July lows and
