Reports on Xi visit to Washington seem to be moderating expectations and suggesting just only modest trade and investment rather than major deals.

The visit is more symbolic than substance.

The contrasting signals highlight uncertainty around the semiconductor memory cycle. Rosenblatt’s bullish Sandisk view reflects expectations of sustained AI-driven storage and memory demand, while Michael Burry’s reported short positions indicate concern that capacity expansion could eventually create a memory glut. Sandisk’s sharp 6.8% rise suggests investors are currently responding positively to the bullish thesis, but elevated valuations and future supply growth remain key risks. For the broader memory and AI semiconductor sector, upcoming pricing trends, inventory levels, capital expenditure and demand visibility will be important in determining whether current growth expectations are sustainable.

While Wall Street's aggressive targets for the memory and AI chip sectors highlight huge structural demand, Michael Burry's short thesis serves as a sharp reminder of cyclical volatility. Balancing immediate momentum with long-term risk management is key here

I think the MAS news that a stress test was conducted on SG listed companies and found that a third of them were at risk of severe AI downturn is a warning for corporations. The stress test subjected companies listed on the Singapore Exchange to revenue shocks of as much as 30 per cent and interest-rate shocks of up to 400 basis points, calibrated according to the individual firm’s exposure to the AI supply chain. MAS defined an at-risk company as one with an interest coverage ratio of below one, or negative cashflow with cash buffers that cover less than six months of the shortfall. However, most balance sheets are generally sound due to their earnings and cash reserves. But this is also a stark warning to corporations that rushing to adapt the latest technologies/strategies may not always be the most efficient as businesses need to evaluate how, the AI in this case, may bring benefits along their supply chain against the costs of adapting this new technology.

I missed the boat? Shall see how the upcoming mid-term election bring in the volatility again! There will be opportunities again 😎

SanDisk, a giant storage play. now someone says that the target price is Two Thousand Four Hundred dollars, a Thirty Six percent upside from last night's closed price. Do you believe him ?

📌🇺🇸Yesterday when I came back to my desk already 9pm; managed to take only 30 mins to follow up my stocks. Sell if I could, buy if the price comes back to me and back to rest quickly, no room for chaos for me this period no extra time to ride. As it should be. No sign for happiness cos comes and goes very fast is my point!

It looks like the market is at a decision point. It needs to decide where it wants to go. Meander here and it might retreat before going higher. We need long white candles to herald the age of the bulls!
