$SpaceX(SPCX)$ I'm starting to collect SpaceX(SPCX) and open a new position because I feel the stock may have reached its near-term bottom. After the post-IPO hype pushed SpaceX above $225, the stock went through a painful correction, falling to around $105 in early August. The combination of valuation concerns, heavy AI spending, earnings uncertainty and the IPO lock-up expiration created a perfect storm of selling pressure. But after that sharp reset, the risk-reward profile is starting to look much more attractive to me. More importantly, the underlying business is still growing at an impressive pace. SpaceX reported Q2 revenue of about $7.8 billion, up roughly 92% year over year, while Starlink continues to expand rapidly. The market init

I’m cautiously bullish on the S&P 500 reaching 8,000. The earnings outlook remains strong, especially with AI-driven growth, while inflation appears manageable enough to keep the Fed from turning aggressively hawkish. If earnings continue to deliver, I think the rally can extend even without a major expansion in valuation multiples. That said, I wouldn’t ignore the risks. The IPO wave, midterm-election seasonality and especially any unexpected energy-price spike could quickly change the market’s narrative. I’ll be watching the Jackson Hole speech closely, because a more hawkish Fed would probably be the biggest threat to the 8,000 thesis. For now, I’d stay invested but avoid chasing aggressively at record highs. My preference is to keep exposure through broad ETFs like SPY while maint

My biggest takeaway from the seminar is that cheap options don't mean low risk. OTM options may look attractive, but their probability of expiring worthless can be very high. Understanding Theta and IV Crush is equally important because an option can lose value even when my market direction is right. I also like the risk-first approach behind Covered Calls, Cash-Secured Puts, Wheel and Vertical Spreads. Before entering any trade, I should understand the maximum potential loss and make sure the strategy matches my market outlook and risk tolerance. Overall, I see options as a risk-management tool rather than a shortcut to quick profits. My focus is on defined risk, sensible position sizing, and knowing exactly how much I can lose before opening a position.

$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ I recently made another buy trade on SOXL, as I believe the semiconductor sector is getting close to a near-term bottom. After the sharp correction over the past several weeks, SOXL has started to rebound around the 200-day EMA, which I see as an important technical support area. For me, the combination of a major moving-average support and improving price action suggests that the risk-reward ratio is becoming more attractive, especially after such a significant pullback. More importantly, the technical setup is being supported by improving fundamentals. Recent earnings from several companies across the semiconductor and AI-infrastructure ecosystem have been surprisingly strong. CoreWeave r

I think the 2026 midterms could create some short-term volatility, especially with inflation and cost-of-living pressure still weighing on voters. However, I don’t see this as a reason to turn bearish. Political uncertainty usually fades after the election, and markets have historically performed better in the following months. Apple’s move to strengthen its Washington team also makes sense to me. With tariffs, regulation and supply-chain policy becoming more important, experienced government-relations leadership is a sensible hedge. Still, I think $Apple(AAPL)$ needs stronger earnings catalysts rather than relying on political developments. Personally, I’m staying invested and would use any election-driven pullback to accumulate quality companie

I remain bullish on $Micron Technology(MU)$ because AI has fundamentally changed the memory cycle. HBM has become a critical part of AI infrastructure, with stronger pricing, higher-value products and longer-term contracts. That explains why the market is now willing to value MU around the trillion-dollar level. Deutsche Bank increasing its Micron exposure also caught my attention. I see this as part of a broader shift from simply owning $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ to investing across the AI infrastructure stack — compute, memory, networking and cloud. While 13F data isn't a direct buy signal, it reinforces the institutional interest in MU. For the next three years, I would pick Micron for its higher growth potential.

I remain bullish on the $Straits Times Index(STI.SI) despite its strong run. The +24% YTD gain is impressive, but I believe the rally is increasingly backed by fundamentals — strong banks, resilient GDP growth, infrastructure investment and AI-related demand. The rotation from semiconductors into banks, REITs & industrials also shows that capital is still finding opportunities in Singapore. $YZJ Shipbldg SGD(BS6.SI)$ is a great example of this earnings-driven rally, with record H1 results and a strong order book. Going

$Direxion Daily MU Bull 2X Shares(MUU)$ I'm continuing to average down my position in $MUU because I believe the recent correction has pushed the 2x Micron ETF much closer to a potential bottoming zone. The selloff has been painful, especially given MUU's leverage, but I see it more as a valuation reset than a breakdown in the underlying Micron story. Micron recently reported record fiscal Q3 revenue of $41.46 billion and guided for another record $50 billion in fiscal Q4 revenue, showing that the fundamental earnings momentum remains exceptionally strong. The second reason I'm staying bullish is the structural AI-driven demand for memory. HBM, DRAM and NAND remain critical to the AI infrastructure buildout, while Micron has already started hi

I see $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Nvidia’s $500B AI financing plan as a smart move, but not without risks. By bringing in major financial institutions and third-party capital, Jensen Huang is tackling AI’s biggest bottleneck: upfront infrastructure costs. If demand stays strong, this could accelerate GPU adoption and further strengthen Nvidia’s ecosystem. But the circular-financing risk is real. Capital flows to AI operators, which then buy Nvidia GPUs, amplifying both growth and risk. The key question is whether data centers can generate enough cash flow to justify the investment. If utilization disappoints or cheaper chips gain traction, the model could become a vulnerability. For me, it’s more genius than gamble—for now. I’m bullish on AI infrastructure, b

I’m leaning toward B — too early. The AI angle is interesting, especially with Grok Bot and the potential Cursor deal, but I’d wait for the acquisition to close and see real enterprise adoption before pricing in a major AI re-rating. A product launch is encouraging, but execution matters more. The pullback also reminds me that expectations have moved quickly. I’m watching whether AI revenue can scale fast enough to narrow the cash-burn gap. If the next few quarters show improving monetization, I could become much more bullish. For now, I see $SpaceX(SPCX)$ as a high-risk AI + space hybrid. 🚀🤖 I’d rather let the numbers confirm the story before chasing the momentum. The AI thesis has potential, but I think patience is the better trade right now.

I’m convinced Singapore’s market revival could be more than a short-term rally. $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ record highs, stronger trading volumes, SGX’s strong FY26 results and the 50-company IPO pipeline all point to improving momentum. I’m encouraged by the growing exposure to technology, healthcare & digital infrastructure. That said, I’m not ready to call it a full turnaround. IPO performance remains the biggest test, while SGX still trails Hong Kong significantly in liquidity. If upcoming listings can hold their IPO prices & attract institutional participation, the cycle of liquidity, research coverage and investor confidence could strengthen further. For now, I’m cautiously bullish. Policy support, potential rate cuts, stronger

I’m encouraged by these results because they show AI infrastructure demand remains strong despite the valuation reset. $CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ $104.2 billion backlog and $SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC(SMCI)$ $65–72 billion fiscal 2027 revenue guidance suggest the key constraints are increasingly power, cooling, networking and financing—not a lack of orders. I’m especially interested in SMCI’s margin recovery and CRWV’s revenue visibility. Both are high-beta names with execution and financing risks, so I wouldn’t chase the after-hours rally. NVDA remains my preferred core exposure, while COHR and LITE could benefit from cont

I’m bullish on gold $XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ too. JPMorgan’s $6,000/oz forecast for 2026 and potential $6,300/oz target for 2027 reinforce my view that this rally is driven by structural factors, not just momentum. Central-bank diversification, softer real yields and geopolitical risks should continue supporting demand. I don’t see the recent volatility as a reason to turn bearish. Even strong bull markets can experience sharp corrections, so I’d view pullbacks as opportunities to accumulate gradually. The slowdown in reported central-bank buying is worth watching, but unreported purchases could mean the headline figures don’t show the fu

I’m leaning D — Holding Steady. The STI’s ~23% YTD rally is impressive, but I don’t think the story is over. Singapore’s banks continue delivering strong earnings and dividends, while SGX benefits from stronger capital-market activity. If earnings remain solid, the STI could still challenge 6,000. That said, I wouldn’t chase aggressively here. After such a strong run, consolidation around 5,400–5,700 would be healthy. I’d rather keep my core positions, reinvest dividends and add selectively on pullbacks. I’m more comfortable staying invested than trying to guess the exact top. The key risk is whether falling rates pressure bank NIMs enough to offset wealth management and fee-income growth. For me, this rally is increasingly about earnings, dividends and compounding. If banks keep executin

I’m not ready to call the end of the AI optics cycle after COHR dropped 14%, LITE 8.6% and AXTI 16.7%. To me, this looks more like a valuation reset ahead of $COHERENT(COHR)$ earnings than proof that AI optical demand has weakened. AAOI’s 800G growth and Lumentum’s long-term InP supply deal still point to strong underlying demand. However, expectations are extremely high. Even strong growth may not be enough if COHR’s margins or guidance fail to beat what investors have already priced in. Trade restrictions could also create a mixed impact, helping U.S. suppliers while raising upstream supply and cost risks. Personally, I’m waiting for COHR’s earnings before making an aggressive move. Strong results and guidance could make this selloff an attract

I’d pick cybersecurity as the sector with the most room to run. AI is creating new threats while making enterprise infrastructure more complex, supporting strong long-term security spending. $Palo Alto Networks(PANW)$ and $CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.(CRWD)$ both look compelling, although I expect some consolidation after the strong rerating. If I had to pick one name today, I’d choose PANW. The CyberArk and Chronosphere acquisitions could strengthen

$CapLand IntCom T(C38U.SI)$ would be my first choice among the Orchard Road S-REITs. I like its scale, diversified portfolio and blue-chip quality, while exposure to ION Orchard, Plaza Singapura and Paragon gives it a strong position in Singapore’s prime retail market. At around book value, I also think the valuation is reasonable for a REIT of this quality. What attracts me most is the combination of income and potential DPU growth. The Paragon acquisition should provide additional contribution, while lower interest rates could gradually reduce financing costs.

I’m most interested in $COHERENT(COHR)$ . AI data-center demand continues to drive strong growth in optical connectivity, and I like COHR’s exposure to the expanding bandwidth requirements of AI infrastructure. For earnings, I’ll be watching whether EPS can beat expectations and, more importantly, whether management raises its outlook. Strong demand for AI-related optical products would give me more confidence that the growth story can continue. I’m bullish on COHR over the longer term, although after its strong run, I’d rather add on meaningful pullbacks than chase a big move after earnings. For me, the key is whether fundamentals can continue to catch up with
