Use IV to Spot Opportunities and Plan Options Trades【Short Side Recap | Oliver】
When market sentiment is euphoric and asset prices have already risen sharply, investors may see potential for a pullback but hesitate to short the underlying asset. What if the rally continues? Could they withstand the losses? In this Options Bootcamp livestream, experienced options investor Oliver , @Oliver 的期權旅途, shared one approach: when market enthusiasm is strong, implied volatility (IV) is elevated, and option premiums are relatively high, investors can explore selling calls at higher strike prices, starting with a small position. However, finding a contract worth considering is only the beginning. Monitoring prices after opening a position, deciding when to adjust exposure, and keeping enough capital available f

Meta’s $95 Billion AI Gamble: Who Is Really Paying for the AI Boom?
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ is preparing to raise up to $95 billion through share offerings to help fund its expanding AI infrastructure. The move highlights just how expensive the race to dominate artificial intelligence has become. The Facebook and Instagram parent has launched approximately $35 billion in common and preferred stock offerings, with plans for a separate share-sale programme of up to $60 billion once its new non-voting Class C shares begin trading, expected in early 2027. This is not simply another fundraising announcement. It raises a bigger question for investors: can the returns from AI justify the enormous cost of building it? 💰 Why Does Meta Need So Much Capital? Meta is investing heavily in data centres, specialised ch
TOPcheeryx: The ad cash engine is still doing the heavy lifting here. At 630 with profitability top 16%, I think the market is underpricing how clearly Meta can monetize AI across ads and engagement.

The Fed May Pause Thursday—but Is December’s Rate Hike Already in Play?
Wall Street may get the rate decision it expects this week, but that doesn’t necessarily mean markets are in the clear. The Federal Reserve meets on October 27–28, with markets widely expecting rates to remain at 3.75%–4.00%. The bigger question is whether Chair Kevin Warsh signals that another increase could be coming in December. According to a Reuters poll published October 20, all 100 economists surveyed expected a December rate hike, highlighting how much inflation concerns have shifted expectations.  📊 Why the Fed Is Under Pressure Three factors are complicating the outlook: 1. Inflation remains stubborn Higher oil prices are adding to inflation pressures, while price increases in other areas could make the problem harder to contain. If inflation remains elevated, the Fed may have l
TOPAll 100 economists on one side is rare lol. If FedWatch is only around 65% for December, that gap matters more than the pause itself

Anthropic’s IPO: Selling the AI Future While Warning About Its Risks
Anthropic’s IPO: $16.3B Revenue, an $80.7B Loss and AI Risks Wall Street Cannot Ignore Anthropic has publicly filed its S-1 registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, taking a major step towards becoming a publicly traded AI company. The company behind Claude plans to list on Nasdaq under the ticker $ANT. But its prospectus reveals a story that goes far beyond explosive revenue growth. Anthropic is generating billions in revenue while making enormous investments in computing infrastructure. It is also warning investors about the potential risks of the very technology it is racing to develop. For the AI industry, this could become one of the most closely watched IPOs. 📊 The Numbers Behind the IPO Anthropic’s S-1 reports the following for the first half of 2026: •

On Fri, 23 Oct 2026, US stock markets ended lower as the technology sell-off from earlier in the week spread across the broader market. By the time market called it a week: DJIA: rose marginally by +0.46% (+237.06 to 52,215.16). Best performing index of the week. S&P 500: fell by -1.03% (-79.09 to 7,623.68). Posted 18 new 52-week highs and 8 new lows. Nasdaq: fell by -1.67% (-439.94 to 25,955.34). Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 1.57-to-1 ratio. Worst performing index of the week. Volume on US exchanges was 15.4 billion shares, compared with the 17.2 billion average over the last 20 trading days. Technology shares steadied somewhat to end a turbulent week for the market-driving AI trade, and investors looked ahead to a busy slate of corporate earnings and a Fed interest-rat

Analyse and Navigate Hawkish Hold: Market Dynamics, Tech Valuation Stress, and Positioning Strategies
The Federal Reserve is widely expected to announce a "hawkish hold" this week, keeping its benchmark interest rate steady in the 3.75%–4.00% range while signaling that a December rate hike remains strongly on the table. In this article, we would like to share how we are analyzing the Federal Reserve's impending FOMC decision, bond yield dynamics, tech earnings reactions, volatility expectations, and tactical positioning strategies. 1. Deciphering the "Hawkish Hold" Framework A "hawkish hold" represents a sophisticated monetary strategy designed to balance two competing policy risks: over-tightening into slowing economic momentum versus prematurely loosening financial conditions before inflation is durably anchored to the Federal Reserve's 2.0% core target. By keeping rates stationary in th

Anthropic S-1: A Closer Read
$Anthropic(ANT)$ Anthropic reported $16.286 billion in revenue and a $80.748 billion GAAP net loss for the first half of 2026. Put those figures side by side and they make a striking headline. They do not, on their own, tell us how the business is performing. The first distinction is between an accounting loss and an operating loss. The net loss includes a $72.388 billion change in the fair value of convertible notes, derivative liabilities and SAFEs. That charge is not the same as spending $72 billion in cash. But setting it aside does not mean Anthropic was profitable under GAAP: its operating loss for the period was $693 million. The filing also reports $1.618 billion in adjusted operating income. That is a company-defined, non-GAAP
TOPThat 72.388B fair value swing is noise for cash, but the 693M operating loss is the cleaner burn-rate signal.

If SPCX holds above the immediate support zone at $144.50, expect buyers to drive a retest of primary resistance at $152.80. A clean breakout and daily hold above $152.80 clears room for a continuation rally toward $156.00 and $165.00.

$SPCX 20261028 149.0 CALL$ Selling covered calls can be a good strategy as long as you select a strike price at which you would be willing to allow your holding stock to be called away. The covered call will help generate income during the holding period and lowers the original position’s cost basis. A covered call consists of selling a call against shares of holding stock. Typically, covered calls are sold out-of-the-money above the current price of the underlying asset. However, covered calls do not eliminate downside risk if the asset drops in price, but every covered call sold add credit to the account, thereby reducing the overall cost of holding stock position.
TOPKey is picking a strike you are actually fine losing the shares at. On a setup like this, around 0.3 delta usually balances premium and upside better.

I am cautiously bullish on Alphabet $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ heading into earnings. Google Cloud is a major growth engine, while Gemini offers opportunities to strengthen Search and advertising. Alphabet has a strong competitive advantage through its user base, AI capabilities, and infrastructure. My prediction is C: Between -5% and +5% on the first trading day after earnings. Even if results beat expectations, investors may worry about massive AI spending and whether it can deliver sustainable returns. With expectations already high, a strong report may not be enough to trigger a major rally. Personally, I would wait for the earnings results rather than chase GOOGL beforehand. I remain bullish on its long-term AI potential, but risk management matte

Brace for a Sharp US Stock Correction! Nvidia Falls for a Third Week as Bearish Pressure Builds
Despite greater stability in the bond market last week, key market bellwethers such as Bitcoin and gold showed signs of downside breakdowns. US equities also reversed sharply from their highs on the weekly chart. With oil approaching its previous peak and a critical market window drawing closer, investors should remain alert to the risk of a major correction. Markets also faced pressure two weeks ago, although the weakness was not yet broad based. Conditions have since changed as Bitcoin and Ethereum failed to sustain their rallies, while gold extended its decline and broke below $4,000. Risk assets now face renewed pressure from a potential broad based selloff. $比特币(BTC.USD.HKCC)$

[Stock Prediction] Google's AI Business Is Booming. Will the Stock Follow?
Google's AI business is gaining momentum. Cloud demand is growing, Gemini is becoming a bigger part of Search, and Alphabet is investing heavily to stay ahead in the AI race. But strong growth doesn't always translate into a higher stock price. With Alphabet set to report third-quarter earnings on October 28 after the bell, investors want to know whether its AI investments are finally delivering the returns Wall Street expects. Can Google turn its AI momentum into another earnings-driven rally? Or is the good news already priced in? According to Bloomberg BEST consensus estimates, analysts expect Alphabet to report $111.24 billion in revenue, adjusted earnings of $3.32 per share, and adjusted net income of $38.22 billion. Alphabet has beaten revenue expectations in seven of its last eight
TOP🌟🌟🌟I believe $Alphabet(GOOG)$ will close between -5% to +5% (C) on the first day of trading after earnings. Why? There is currently a tug of war between its robust revenue growth and unprecedented capital expenditure. Alphabet is expected to post a highly impressive USD 127.4 billion to USD 127.9 billion in revenue, up 25% YoY. This is driven by an estimated 80% hypergrowth in Google Cloud and robust AI assisted search monetisation. However Wall Street is hyper focused on Alphabet's full year 2026 Capex budget of USD 195 billion to USD 205 billion. If Alphabet beats revenue expectations, but guides Capex even higher for 2027, I believe the market will penalise Alphabet over fears of compressed operating margins and another quarter of negative free cash flow. Alphabet is currently trading at just 15.7x forward earnings. It's time to go bargain hunting if Alphabet drops below 5%. @Tiger_Earnings @TigerStars @Tiger_comments

Q3 results are Wednesday 28 Oct after the close. Analysts drove most of the move. Barclays raised its target to $160 from $134, Wells Fargo to $190 from $175, Piper Sandler to $175 from $140, and Bernstein to a Street-high $266 from $248. RBC set $176 and Mizuho has Outperform at $170. There was also a new NVIDIA partnership on an enterprise AI agent, and AI contract value is above $1bn. The stock is now about 3% above the MarketBeat consensus target of $153.90, and J.P. Morgan's target is $150. The business hasn't changed, and my scorecard is still 73/100. The run-up is the risk.
