Overview Oil prices have surged by over a dollar per barrel, fueled by significant supply disruptions in Libya and upcoming production cuts in Iraq. These developments have reignited fears of tighter global supplies, pushing Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures to new heights. As geopolitical tensions and production strategies weigh heavily on the market, traders are left to question: Will oil prices continue their upward trajectory, or will other factors temper the surge? Supply Disruptions in Libya: A Ticking Time Bomb Libya, a nation often plagued by political instability, is once again at the center of global oil market concerns.

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$  GROWTH! Growth is still growth in this limited growth economy. As the gamblers leave the center stage to bet on small caps and big caps, JP Morgan studies have shown that growth stocks still have better returns 12 months after the first rate cut.  Given the current outlook of a soft landing, Nvidia would have even more cash-flow for debt financing once rate is lowered which deepens their competitive edge and product offerings even more. The market is demanding too much growth that is not sensible at all. Which other growth companies have this much growth during high rate period as NVDA?  A better metrics for investment would be to measure its long term growth consistency in the industr

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ I actually sold $Apple(AAPL)$ recently and brought nvidia, why? Apple has been a great stock for me, i own everything apple, but i just don't see the potential for apple to reinvent the wheel in the near term.

Investing to me is thinking outside the square, many companies are jumping on the AI bandwagon. Some will win others will loose. But there's a common theme... nvidia will be the predominant supplier To them all. @Tiger_chat

$Affirm Holdings, Inc.(AFRM)$ $Block(SQ)$ $PayPal(PYPL)$ $SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$  Fintech stocks are catching a bid currently. The prospect of rate cuts and lower interest rates coupled with a strong US consumer confidence and spending (but with higher levels of personal debt) seem to be propelling sentiment for these fintech companies that depend on people spending and borrowing.  Even the traditional payment processors of Visa Mastercard Amex are seeing positive price action in the market.  Personally, i would trade fintech based on momentum, but only invest long term in the Visa and Mastercard.&nbs
