$Navitas Semiconductor Corp(NVTS)$ Short-term sell-offs aren't something I get too worked up about, since that's how it usually goes. This is the kind of setup where I've been building my position and taking gains in NVTX. It's the same approach that made me six figures with $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ and AMDL.
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ The board has approved a $150B increase to the company's share-repurchase program, bringing the total buyback authorization to $235B. That eclipses the $110B stock buyback $Apple(AAPL)$ unveiled in May 2024, and comes just 4 months after Nvidia's board added $80B to its buyback program.

$Apple(AAPL)$ 2026 estimates point to smartphone sales declining more than 14% by year end. The drop is tied to sharp memory cost increases, which are forcing price hikes to avoid major profit losses. The bigger question is where the sales declines and price hikes will hurt the most. Android is forecast to take the hardest hit, with up to a 25% decline in sales spread across all Android makers. That hits them hardest in their bread and butter low-end budget tiers, and somewhat in the midrange as well. This does not include Huawei, which may see a small decline in absolute sales. Samsung and Chinese OEMs cannot absorb the cost increases, so they have to raise prices, which may reduce sales and demand at those price points. That is just how thi
I think once the rate decision is out of the way, the market could bounce back, and $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ with some momentum might have a clear path past 520.
