Xiaomi launching EV at $21.9k with LiDAR standard intensifies price war. Margins will be squeezed across sector

$GLD SG(GSD.SG) down 8.3% today to $545 after that Trump Greenland tariff announcement shook up the gold trade. Was sitting on some nice gains from the run-up to $648 last month but now watching them evaporate.

Still holding because what else are you gonna do? Cash is melting, equities are at all-time highs, and gold is the only thing that makes sense long term.

Just gotta stomach these swings. 😮‍💨

My biggest worry with $Oracle(ORCL.US) isn't the business - it's the class action lawsuits piling up over AI capex disclosures. Multiple firms now soliciting plaintiffs . Even if they settle for peanuts, legal distraction costs management time. Meanwhile Oppenheimer upgrades to $185. Trying to decide if this is noise or real risk.

18A is finally in high-volume production with 65-75% yields . RibbonFET + PowerVia combo giving them 30% less voltage droop and 15% better perf-per-watt . Panther Lake hitting 60% uplift over Lunar Lake . The technical execution is real this time. $Intel(INTC.US)

$ASML(ASML.US) chart: closed at $1497.80, up 0.79% . Volume 1.54M vs avg 1.68M. RSI around 65, getting warm but not overbought yet. Break above $1500 and next stop $1600?

On Feb 24, 2026, $Sandisk(SNDK.US) dropped after short seller Citron Research issued a bearish report.

Citron’s Key Claims

The memory boom is overstated; SanDisk is being mispriced like NVIDIA despite being a commodity storage business.

Major holder Western Digital sold shares below market price, signaling insiders are exiting.

What’s Missing

SEC filings indicate the Western Digital sale was tied to a pre-registered, tax-related deadline — not discretionary bearish selling. That weakens Citron’s “smart money fleeing” narrative. Meanwhile, AI-driven storage demand remains structurally supportive.

Credibility Factor

Founder Andrew Left has had big wins (e.g., Valeant Pharmaceuticals) but also major setbacks, including the GameStop squeeze and 2024 federal fraud charges.

Bottom line: Industry cyclicality is real, but this short thesis appears more sentiment-driven than fundamentally decisive.

Last 90 days: 28,827 insider sales $Meta Platforms(META.US) worth $18.5M . CTO Bosworth sold 74% of stake at $631, CFO Li sold 8% at $639, Director Kimmitt sold at $639 . Zero buys. 13.61% insider ownership. Stock at $639.77. Insiders selling at 52-week highs. I'm selling with them or buying the dip?

After calmly reviewing $Netflix(NFLX.US) today, I realized the market is actually pricing in a very awkward scenario—Warner Bros.' move would be epic if they won, but they'd face a lot of criticism if they lost. Buying studios, IPs, and HBO inventory for $82.7 billion is essentially buying the entire building of content they previously rented.

$Alibaba(BABA.US) often moves with China policy expectations rather than earnings itself. Recently AI narrative gives bulls new angle, but every rally still meets sellers. Until clear earnings acceleration, maybe more chop than trend 😅

After $Microsoft.US got downgraded for AI risk, will $Alphabet.US face similar skepticism? The bond issue might fuel it.

Looking at $Unitedhealth(UNH.US) from a broader perspective, it actually represents the core of the US healthcare payment system. Recently, the market has been concerned about the recovery of healthcare utilization, drug price negotiations, and government scrutiny, but these are all long-term variables. What's truly worth watching is Optum Health's continued expansion of its physician network and data services; these areas have higher profit margins and are closer to a platform model. Many long-term investors view $Unitedhealth(UNH.US) as a healthcare version of "infrastructure," and its volatility presents a window for dollar-cost averaging.

amzn down 11%, is it a chance?

$Coreweave(CRWV.US) I didn’t expect this kind of drawdown.👎

Anthropic has launched a new tool for corporate legal teams, automating tasks like contract review and NDA triage. This triggered a sharp sell-off in European and US legal software and publishing stocks. Wolters Kluwer plunged as much as 13%, and RELX dropped 14%.

The pressure spread to Asia on Wednesday. Australian stock Xero fell up to 15%, its biggest drop since May 2021, while Japan's OBIC declined 6%.

Another AI update, another sector gets hit. The software industry is facing massive disruption!

$Microsoft(MSFT.US)

CRWV is still the purest AI infrastructure bet out there — NVDA backing matters, but volatility is the price you pay for growth.

$Sandisk(SNDK.US) SanDisk's stock price has surged too much. I want to buy, but I'm too afraid to.

ASML reports earnings today, and expectations are high after strong AI-driven chip spending. Any surprise in orders or guidance could move the stock sharply.

$Coreweave(CRWV.US) The EV space is overcrowded. Without a clear niche or profit path, it's a struggle

Does TSMC’s capex limit margins?

Oracle + AI partnerships worth it ?

CoreWeave up 5% today on Nvidia’s $2B stake — AI cloud play?

Simple truth: You can't avoid TSM if you're bullish on semiconductors

$BitMine Immersion Tech(BMNR.US) The immersion cooling angle is interesting, especially if energy costs remain a key differentiator.
