Netflix down about 40 percent from the highs into Wednesday feels overdone, but the setup is binary. If subscribers and the ad tier keep compounding, the derating reverses fast. If guidance disappoints again, the next leg down is ugly. I am not catching it before the print, I would rather pay up after confirmation.

Third year running that a big AI launch is supposed to kill creative software. Adobe closed 231 yesterday, down 1.9 percent, and that was the smallest drop of the five names people keep calling roadkill. Still here. I have been adding small since 240 and will keep doing that on any keynote dump. If it takes out 220 I am wrong and I stop.
Intel quietly raised 2026 capex from 18 billion to more than 20 billion and said 2027 will be significantly above that. strongest revenue growth in 15 years and the stock still cannot get out of its own way because free cash flow goes negative to pay for it. foundry is either the thesis or the anchor, no middle version.
stripe bidding 53b for paypal is wild, a private company buying an S&P500 name?? if it goes through is this good or bad for pypl holders long term, genuinely asking 🙏
Big rotation to kick off the week. Apple briefly overtook Nvidia as the world's most valuable company on Friday as AI-capex doubts hit the chip trade.
$Intel(INTC.US) near 94 and reports next week on the 23rd. the interesting bit this time: foundry yield reportedly hit 85% and Nvidia plus OpenAI showed up on the customer list. that's the first real evidence the turnaround might have legs. but i've been burned believing Intel turnarounds before, so i'm keeping a starter and waiting for the print, not front-running it. earnings on a beaten-down name is a coin flip. show me first.
$Intel(INTC.US) near 103 with a wild 10% intraday range, and our community is trading it heavily into the July 23 earnings. that's a gamble, not an investment, 18A yields are still the whole story and they keep slipping. i trimmed long ago and i'm not touching it before the print. earnings on a broken turnaround chart is a coin flip. sitting it out until the numbers show a real base.
$Intel(INTC.US) bounced with the chip complex on the CPI relief but it's still the laggard while SK Hynix does +27% and Nvidia hits new highs. our community keeps posting it, hope springs eternal, but 18A yields are the only thing that matters and they keep slipping. i trimmed long ago and i'm renting bounces at best, not owning the turnaround until it shows in numbers.
just flagging that Tuesday is a landmine: five big banks report the same morning June CPI drops, with oil ripping and Waller floating a hike. even great bank numbers can get steamrolled by a hot inflation print in the same fifteen minutes. i'm flat into it, not because banks are bad but because two binary events at once isn't a trade, it's a coin flip. read the reaction, don't predict it.
$Intel(INTC.US) down another 2.4% to 110 while SK Hynix debuts +14% and NVDA hits new highs. that contrast is the whole story: the memory and AI leaders are eating, Intel is still the one getting left behind. 18A is the only thing that matters and it keeps slipping. i trimmed weeks ago and i'm not touching it until the turnaround shows up in actual numbers. dead money at best.
STI ripped above 5,400 with UOB leading and $Realty Income MD(O.US)39.SG$ right there with it, all three local banks at record territory. and Temasek just posted a record S$518B portfolio. the SG story needs zero chip drama, just banks compounding and paying dividends. i hold OCBC for the ~5% yield and the fortress balance sheet. not adding at the highs, just collecting and holding.
qualcomm finally has a real AI story. buying Modular to fight CUDA is the smart play, software is nvidia's actual moat not the silicon. started a small position after hours
It's still all about AI memory. Micron just dropped a monster quarter after the close, with revenue more than 4x'd to $41.46B and guidance for a stunning $50B next quarter. Korea staged a V-shaped rebo...
