What's on your mind?
So Managed Agents is basically OpenAI doing what Anthropic already ships. Fine by me, the copying phase is when things get cheap. The one I keep staring at is Salesforce at 227, down another 2.9 percent yesterday. I still cannot tell if Agentforce is a moat or a wrapper that gets undercut tonight. Watching the keynote for pricing, not features.

Rate Of Return$Salesforce(CRM.US)
Salesforce: Turnaround, or the death of SaaS?
Salesforceโs 22.6% jump looks less like a dead-cat bounce and more like the market finally giving AI-enabled SaaS credit. Q2 FY27 revenue rose 11% to US$11.35bn, while cRPO grew 14% to US$33.5bn. FY26 itself delivered US$41.5bn revenue, +10%, with strong cash generation.
The ClaudeForce partnership is important: Salesforce is embedding Claude into workflows rather than fighting AI head-on. AI product ARR has reportedly reached nearly US$3.9bn.
Stance: This looks more like a SaaS reset than its death. Fundamentals are improving, but after the surge, valuation has quickly rerated. Technically, the breakout is powerful, but $252 is now a major reference point; chasing here carries risk.
For an option writer, Iโd favour 30โ45 DTE covered calls, around 10โ15% OTM, targeting Delta โค0.20. With CRM around $252, September $280โ290 calls offer a better assignment buffer; premiums around $0.15โ$0.50 are currently indicated, depending on strike/liquidity.
Bottom line: own the turnaround, but sell calls patiently rather than chase the rally.
Not financial advice.$Salesforce(CRM.US)
It's coming to the end of the month - also where most of the major companies have already reported earnings. As expected, the earnings season has seen some companies rally after posting magnificent results while others slump after posting weaker guidance or simply just due to traders taking profit. It is important to monitor and read in depth into the earnings report of your holdings, but also sometimes the share price don't go as expected due to fear (of say higher capex for e.g.) or just because it was already priced in.
One stock added $442 billion and ten of eleven sectors still closed red. Tonight a brand new Fed chair speaks, and Singapore's factory data quietly says the AI trade is real.
$Palantir Tech(PLTR.US)
Context: Palantir climbed more than 5% yesterday to $185, hitting its highest level in nearly a month. The advance came as the software sector rallied broadly, sparked by Salesforce's earnings beat. Palantir's own fundamentals underpinned the rally. Second-quarter revenue surged 93% year-over-year to $1.94 billion, with US commercial revenue jumping 149%. The company raised its full-year revenue guidance to $8.15 billion to $8.16 billion, posting a 55% net profit margin.
My Trade: Perhaps I sold a tad bit too early right after earnings? Nevertheless, it was still some little nice profits from its low of $120.
Takeaway: Don't count out the software sector just yet. Rotation is bound to happen sooner or later, and some are already rotating their capital back into the software sector after taking profits from elsewhere. @Captain's Treasure
