$Ps S&P 500 Mmtm(SPMO.US)

Context: US stocks turned higher on Thursday in choppy trade, with the S&P 500 falling early to a two-week low but then rebounding sharply as a global bond selloff reversed course after sending US Treasury yields to multi-decade highs. Stocks were under pressure in early trading as economic data kept pointing to a solid economy with persistent price pressures. The Labor Department said weekly initial jobless claims dipped to 197,000, below the 200,000 forecast of economists polled by Reuters. It was the latest in a string of reports this week that indicated the labor market was on solid footing, ahead of the government payrolls report on Friday.

My Trade: The SPMO in particular has been up around 28% this year, and I see little potential for any more significant gains for the year. My target is to accumulate and DCA when possible under $150.

Takeaway: The recent reallocation of holdings in SPMO saw the removal of Broadcom and Nvidia from top 10 holdings, with strong momentum over the past 6 months having Apple now being the 2nd largest holding behind Micron. @Captain's Treasure

$Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US)

Context: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing could be preparing another major increase in advanced-chip capacity, and Wells Fargo says the biggest near-term beneficiaries may extend well beyond TSMC itself. The bank said reports that TSMC could expand 2-nanometer production should be viewed as a potential positive for semiconductor capital-equipment companies, which supply the machinery needed to build increasingly complex chips. Building additional 2nm capacity requires significant spending on lithography, deposition, etching, inspection and other highly specialized semiconductor-manufacturing equipment. That means higher TSMC capacity could translate into another layer of demand for the equipment suppliers supporting its fabs.

My Trade: Looking to accumulate and DCA into TSM as this is one of my favourite stable and moderate to high growth chip companies alongside Nvidia.

Takeaway: For investors, the important signal is not simply that TSMC may build more capacity. It is that demand for leading-edge manufacturing appears broad enough across smartphones, AI accelerators and custom chips to justify additional investment. That could extend the semiconductor spending cycle further into equipment suppliers. Micron's upcoming earnings could potentially give investors a glimpse of the forecasted future demand as well. @Captain's Treasure

$NU Holdings(NU.US)

Context: Nu is down by as much as 10% after reports emerged that the Brazilian fintech giant is in talks to acquire UK digital bank Monzo. The reported deal could value Monzo at between £8 billion and £10 billion, though talks are reportedly still at an early stage, with no deal agreed. Investors’ downbeat reaction appears to be down to concerns about the potential price tag and how Nu would fund such a large acquisition. Reports suggest a deal could involve both cash and Nu shares, raising the prospect of dilution for existing shareholders. There are also questions over whether paying as much as £10 billion for Monzo would generate an adequate return, particularly given that the UK digital bank was valued at around £4.5 billion in a 2024 share sale.

The deal could provide access to a scaled and profitable neobank in the UK and Europe with 15.2 million customers, £25.7 billion in deposits, and £1.7 billion in revenue. This can strengthen Nu’s financial profile by adding a mature business with room to expand.

My Trade: I am loading up on this dip. Long term wise, I do believe Nu has the opportunity and the capability to continue expanding its business, and the aggressive expansion outside of Latin America shows their ambition as well. The main concern is probably the dilution of existing shareholders.

Takeaway: Monzo is the country’s second-largest digital bank behind Revolut, with the vast majority of its customers based in the UK, although it also operates in Ireland and Spain. This an opportunity for the combined business to attract more customers in the UK, while Nu’s established brand in markets such as Brazil, Mexico and Colombia could also potentially provide an advantage. @Captain's Treasure

$Alphabet(GOOGL.US)

Context: Cathie Wood's Ark Invest sold a combined 16,422 Class A shares of Alphabet. The sales came as analysts continued to examine whether Alphabet’s core search business can maintain its position as artificial intelligence changes how consumers find information online. Google Search remains the company’s key financial driver, accounting for more than half of Alphabet’s revenue and close to 70% of its profits. Alphabet had also regained search share after losing ground to OpenAI’s ChatGPT earlier in 2025.

My Trade: I think there is potential for swing trades for Alphabet between the price range of $330 to $360. Ideally, I am aiming for a price closer to 300 for accumulation and year end price target to be 370 and above.

Takeaway: Gemini AI platform is narrowing the gap with ChatGPT. Google’s next-generation Gemini models and growing adoption of its tensor processing units could be potential catalysts. However, the competitive leadership in artificial intelligence could shift as Alphabet, OpenAI and other technology companies continue developing their products. @Captain's Treasure

$Meta Platforms(META.US)

Context: The core driver behind Meta's stock price surge on Monday was the explosive popularity of Muse. After its launch in September, the AI agent quickly topped the chart of free apps on the Apple App Store in the US. It is capable of completing multi-step tasks such as filling out web forms and shopping, and can be used through a standalone app as well as WhatsApp. Meta also introduced paid subscription plans of $20 and $100 per month, giving Muse a more direct consumer-facing monetization pathway compared to its previous AI investments, which were primarily focused on boosting ad efficiency. For Meta, Muse's rapid growth has temporarily relieved market concerns over excessively high AI capital expenditures. The company expects its capital expenditures to reach $130 billion to $145 billion in 2026.

My Trade: Was going to buy back some while waiting for it to drop back to $600, but the recent bullish momentum has instead pushed it to one of the highs for this year. I'll remain patient and buyback more when the stock retraces a bit.

Takeaway: Muse is however still in its early launch phase, and whether initial downloads will translate into sustained paying users remains to be seen. Furthermore, Amazon has restricted Muse from performing certain shopping operations on its platform, illustrating that AI agents still face future challenges regarding platform access, security, and commercial interests. @Captain's Treasure
