Iggy’s Journal: SGX Weekly Review: One Winner Trades in US Dollars, One Is Also US-Listed. What Changes for You?
Iggy’s Journal: SGX Weekly Review: One Winner Trades in US Dollars, One Is Also US-Listed. What Changes for You? Sunday 25 Oct 2026 | Afternoon The Numbers From the weekly review: JMH rose a little over 5% in US dollars across the five trading days. AvePoint, another name in the review, is listed in both the United States and Singapore. An illustration from the episode, with made-up numbers: a share priced at US$10 rises to US$10.50, a gain of 5%. A S$13 starting value becomes S$13.02 after the exchange rate weakens, which implies a move from about S$1.30 to S$1.24 per US dollar (my back-calculation). My Personal Take A percentage without its currency is half a sentence. In the example, a 5% gain in US dollars moved a S$13 holding by 2 cents. The AvePoint half interests me more, because a
TOPzookee: That line about percentages needing a currency is dead on. A 5% USD gain turning into just S$0.02 is exactly the part people forget when they only stare at the stock chart

Stock Crashed 65%. Investors Lost Confidence. Raised $1.6 Billion. Share Count Nearly Doubled. Still Betting Big on AI.
$Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ A company whose stock crashed more than 60%… A company that still hasn’t consistently made real profits… …is now preparing to challenge the biggest names in the U.S. optical communications industry. Even crazier? While the stock was free-falling, management didn’t shrink. They did the opposite. They leased an entire massive industrial park and are massively expanding optical module production capacity.They’re going up against giants like Lumentum and Coherent — companies with deep technology, strong balance sheets, and years of dominance.So how does a much smaller company dare to make this move at the worst possible time for its stock price? And why is it openly targeting the #1 position in U.S.-based AI
TOPStrategically I think the expansion makes sense. After a 65% drop, the dilution is obvious, but U.S. manufacturing plus added module capacity is finally starting to matter more to me.

Why the Hang Seng Tech Index Smashed Below 4,000 & How to Play the Dip
🌟🌟🌟The Hang Seng Tech Index has broken below the critical 4,000 point psychological threshold, plunging to a multi year low. This sudden breakdown has wiped off millions in market value from Chinese Tech Titans like Alibaba, Tencent and NetEase. While the headline drop looks alarming, the underlying dynamics reveal a classic "valuation killing" driven by macroeconomic and liquidity pressures rather than a structural collapse in corporate fundamentals. 3 Pressures Driving the Selloff 1. The Offshore Tax Drag An unique internal liquidity crunch hit the market recently. This period marked the final deadline of a 90 day window granted for offshore trusts to settle mainland back taxes. As a result, the offshore trusts had to reduce their equity stakes, t

AI’s Next Challenge: The Cost of Scaling
For months, investors have focused almost exclusively on the upside of the AI revolution. What’s receiving far less attention is the growing cost of turning that vision into reality. SPCX META Two of the biggest names tied to the AI buildout, $SpaceX(SPCX)$ and $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ , are beginning to send the same message: future growth will require enormous amounts of capital. That reality is starting to matter. Growth Isn't Free SpaceX continues to pursue increasingly ambitious projects spanning launch infrastructure, satellite networks, and AI-related initiatives. The opportunity is massive, but so is the funding requirement. Many analysts believe the company will eventually need access to unpr
TOPMETA's capital expenditures appear heavy, but its cash flow and profit margins are still supportable. The market may have underestimated the capital efficiency here.

Blockbuster Week: Mega-Cap Earnings, FED and PCE
A very choppy week has ended, bringing the anticipated vanishing bounce. The Volatility Index ( $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ ), $S&P 500(.SPX)$ , and $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ have been studied with clear indicators, and their setups anticipated both the previous week’s decline and the recent choppy price action closing in the red. This week’s bearish trigger came from the technology sector, driven this time by capital expenditure concerns for $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ , which turned negative in free cash flow; the market simply needed a catalyst, and it arrived from the corporate front. What is particularly interesting is

$SMH: A Strong Bounce Could Be Setting Up
I'm not usually one to call bottoms, but $VanEck Semiconductor ETF(SMH)$ is showing several technical signals that make this area worth watching. Semiconductors have found support at the year-to-date anchored VWAP — the same level that held in late July before the ETF rallied back above $630. There's another reason this zone matters: the 200-day moving average is sitting right around $515, lining up with the VWAP to create a confluence of two major support levels. 📊 Momentum is also showing a potential shift. RSI has formed a bullish divergence. Price made a lower low, while RSI made a higher low, suggesting selling momentum may be fading. 🎯 Key levels to watch: Support: Around $515, where the YTD anchored VWAP and 200-day MA converge First upside

$VRT: A Smart Money Zone With 100% Upside Potential
$Vertiv Holdings LLC(VRT)$ has pulled back into its Weekly Smart Money Zone, an area that has historically offered attractive buying opportunities over the following 6–12 months. 🎯 Upside target: $380 over the next 12 months, representing roughly 100% upside. 🛑 Risk level: A close below the $147 swing low would invalidate the setup, implying approximately 20–25% downside from the current zone. That creates an attractive potential risk/reward profile for investors with a long-term horizon. I'm not entering this trade just yet. I have other setups on my radar and a significant amount of capital already deployed. But $VRT is firmly on my watchlist. For anyone looking to build a long-term position, this is a zone worth paying attention to. 🐯 Patience f

$CL March Highs Taken, $USO Trade Books +10.33%
$WTI Crude Oil - main 2612(CLmain)$ broke through its March highs — and the oil trade played out exactly as planned. I said oil wasn't done, the equal highs were the magnet, and a continued rally in crude would put pressure on equities. That's exactly what happened. Oil pushed to new highs while stocks sold off, following the scenario I laid out. 📈 The trade was executed live: Ticker: $United States Oil Fund LP(USO)$ Entry: $152.79 on Oct. 13 Exit: $168.58 Return: +10.33% The setup was built around the W4/W5 structure, with equal highs serving as the upside target. The key was identifying the likely path before the breakout and sticking to the plan as price moved toward that level. The oil thesis playe

3 best Daily Charts: $QCOM, $META and $GOOG
Earnings catalysts, oversold conditions, and key moving averages are setting up three different technical scenarios. Here's what I'm watching on each chart. 🔹 $Qualcomm(QCOM)$ $QCOM is building a base between $170 and $180 ahead of its Nov. 4 earnings report. Reclaiming the rising 50DMA would strengthen the case for a breakout. 🔹 $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ A relief bounce looks increasingly likely. The recent break below the lower Bollinger Band has set up similar rebounds in the past, making a technical recovery worth watching. 🔹 $Alphabet(GOOG)$ Down 21% from its peak, $GOOG is looking oversold.
