Notes on $Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI.US) ahead of Q2 earnings next week:

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)

Still holding NVIDIA and staying patient. Short-term price swings don’t change my conviction. As AI adoption continues to expand across industries, I believe the long-term opportunity is far bigger than today’s market noise. Happy to stay invested and let time do the heavy lifting.

Most of the Mag 7 companies have already reported earnings and they were evenly matched, with half of them impressing while the other half flopping. Microsoft and Amazon are set to set new best records up in a single trading day as the AI reversal demand is very much back underway.

MSFT +15% and +$450B in one day isn’t hype, it’s proof Azure AI is printing money at scale. That beat Nvidia’s record because enterprises are paying, not just building. Semis +8-9% with MU, SNDK, SKHY all double digits means memory pricing has bottomed and the July washout is over. AMZN/AAPL/META mixed just shows the market can tell winners from spenders now.

Congrats to all who saw the great discounts and grabbed the wonderful bargains. These kind of great sales happen once a year and it was about time for it to happen!

Well look at that. See what I mean when everyone wants to buy at the same time? Great discounts don’t last forever. The most daring first buyers who recognise value benefits the most. 😊

Many of the recent movements should be treated as noise. For investors, company fundamentals and sector growth and health should be the anchor for proper investment (not trading)

Markets are moving beyond AI hype, with greater focus on execution and measurable outcomes from AI investments. Companies that convert AI spending into sustainable revenue, earnings and cash flow are being rewarded, while those with uncertain returns face more demanding standards.

Singapore stocks pulled back as profit-taking in the banking sector weighed on the STI, but the move appears to be a healthy consolidation rather than a trend reversal. Singapore equities continue to offer long-term value, supported by stable earnings, attractive dividends and sound economic fundamentals.Fundamentals drive long-term performance, with patient investors using market pullbacks as opportunities to accumulate quality stocks

Markets still have a lot to digest. Strong GDP and PCE keep the Fed cautious, while BOJ decisions and Middle East tensions could drive volatility. I’ll stay patient and focus on quality names instead of chasing moves.

Wonder why the bank stocks are up, isn’t this anticipation of rate hike too extreme?

Overall, I am quite disappointed with MPACT earnings yesterday. It’s a surprise results. I never expect its overseas assets performance got worsen.

Elsewhere, Keppel Corp was dragged down by impairment charges on older legacy assets while SIA took a hit from high energy costs. It is a very tough operating environment now with so much uncertainty everywhere.

I am also worried by the latest China manufacturing PMI reading of 49.2, back in contraction territory. I am thinking why these factories are not ramping up orders for the upcoming holiday season like Christmas, yet activity is slowing instead. That really makes me wonder what’s going on. 🤔

Just as I predicted, chip and semiconductors stocks are going up again. I’m glad I didn’t sell off my tech stocks. Sometimes it just feels like there is some invisible hand moving the market for no good reason other than to shake off weak hands.

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)This position is still in the red, and I’m definitely not happy about it. The post-earnings selloff hit harder than I expected, and the market is still digesting the valuation despite NVIDIA continuing to execute well.

I’m not averaging down or panic selling here. The original reason I bought hasn’t changed. AI demand is still strong, and I believe NVIDIA remains one of the biggest beneficiaries over the next few years. The only thing that changed is the market’s sentiment in the short term.

I’ll continue to hold and let the story play out. If the business fundamentals change, I’ll reassess. Until then, this is simply the price of investing in high-growth companies—volatility comes with the opportunity.

Trade Showcase: Not every position turns green immediately. Sometimes conviction is tested the most when you’re sitting on a loss. Let’s see where this goes over the next few months. 💪📉 @Captain's Treasure
