I opened $Schwab US Large-Cap ETF(SCHX)$ ,When the markets are down, SCHX is a great Index ETF as it covers 750 of the largest US companies in just 1 trade. At just USD 22.90, it is certainly one of the cheapest ways to invest in the US Big Caps! In the long term SCHX will continue to rise. SCHX has already risen 22.6% year todate. On top of that SCHX also pays dividends every 3 months. The current dividend yield is 1.21%. That is pretty good for an index ETF!
Why GOOG Continues to Dominate with Strong Growth Potential
$Alphabet(GOOG)$ smashed expectations in its Q3 2024 earnings, achieving a robust 15% year-over-year revenue increase to $88.3 billion, with an EPS of $2.12 beating analysts' estimate of $1.84. These impressive numbers are more than just a snapshot of a successful quarter; they reflect Alphabet's ongoing commitment to AI innovation, diversified revenue streams, and robust performance in Google Services and Google Cloud. For the quarter, Alphabet’s total revenue jumped from $76.7 billion in 2023 to $88.3 billion in 2024, driven by a 13% rise in Google Services revenue and an impressive 35% boost in Google Cloud. Operating income climbed 34% to $28.5 billion, expanding the operating margin by 4.5 percentage points to 32%. This margin expansion is a
Alternative Assets Shine Amid Pre-Election Market Uncertainty
With only one week remaining before the U.S. presidential election, there’s a growing sense of uncertainty in the air. Investors are wondering how to position their money, bracing for the possibility of significant volatility and market shifts. While some hedge funds are making bold moves on so-called “Trump trades,” we at U.S. Global Investors see things differently. In fact, I share billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones’ recent outlook on gold and Bitcoin (which validates what I have been writing about for many years). Like him, we currently favor alternative assets as the smart play going forward. It’s not that we’re betting against stocks or the economy, which we believe will do well over time no matter who wins the White House next month. Nevertheless, the writing
Hello everyone! Today i want to share some macro analysis with you!1. $.SPX(.SPX)$ BULLS are roaring / kicking. The late October Slump didn't materialize; it looks like there is another set of 4th/5th waves to unfold, and my bearish read in mid-October was premature, since the small hiccup this week only registered 100+ points for SPX. Now, ATH in sight again.Follow me to learn more about analysis!!

TMDX: One of the Strongest Moats in the Organ Transplant Market
One of my highest conviction names is reporting earnings on Monday -- here’s what you need to know 🧐 $TransMedics Group Inc.(TMDX)$ The growing demand for organ transplants has created a critical need in healthcare, and TransMedics is addressing it with its cutting-edge Organ Care System (OCS). This platform overcomes the limitations of traditional preservation methods by maintaining organs outside the body for extended periods. By simulating the body’s natural environment, the OCS keeps hearts, lungs, and livers viable longer, improving organ quality, expanding donor-recipient matches, and ultimately increasing transplant success rates. Its impact is significant --reducing wait times and saving more lives.Network Effect MoatTransMedics is not jus

$ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK)$ - Thoughts On The 3-Month High Breakout (Intraday)I've been tracking the setup on ARKK for the past two months, even experiencing a failed stop-loss attempt on 9/27 after a two-month high didn't hold.Currently (as of writing), ARKK is trading at a three-month high, with $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ and $Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLK)$ also gaining. My first instinct is to review the latest holdings breakdown, particularly to see how significant $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ contributes to the current move.While TSLA makes up a significant 13% of the fund, I'm refrain from taking action due to the upcoming
$IBM(IBM)$ ’s stock performance surged after its Q3 2024 earnings report, behaving more like a prominent AI software player than a tech giant with substantial legacy businesses, mainly in consulting. However, IBM’s traditional operations are unlikely to benefit significantly from the AI boom. Given another lackluster quarter, IBM might not be worth the bullish outlook.Stagnant Growth Amid AI PushDespite repeated promises of pivoting to growth sectors, IBM hasn’t achieved substantial sales momentum. The latest quarterly report revealed a revenue increase of only 1.5% year-over-year, falling short of expectations. IBM's AI software business shows promise, but with an existing $60 billion revenue base, adding a few billion won’t ignite substantial gro

Study company management team character is one of my investment fundamental. Aztech CEO has delisted a SGX company before, the private offer price was stingy. After Aztech was listed again, CEO was questioned by SGX one time, why COE salary was so high? The salary didn't match the company revenue size. From these two events, I realised that the management and retail investors weren't in a same boat. Retail investors will not get good results in long term if management team put his benefits in higher priority than share holders. I found a chance close this counter at minor profits. Shares of Aztech Global $Aztech Gbl(8AZ.SI)$ crashed nearly 27% after the company's third-quarter net profit drop
Hello everyone! Today i want to share some macro analysis with u!1. $Gold - main 2412(GCmain)$ Thursday (31 October) Asian morning trading, spot gold high narrow oscillation, currently trading at 2787.36 !Gold prices on Wednesday again refreshed record highs to $2,789.89 per ounce, as uncertainty over the U.S. presidential election boosted safe-haven demand, and traders are also waiting for economic data to provide clues to the Federal Reserve's policy path.However, the U.S. economy grew solidly in the third quarter, with consumer spending growing at its fastest pace in a year and a half and inflation slowing sharply, continuing to break recessionary forecasts; this gave support to U.S. bond yields, making gold bulls wary.
$Crocs(CROX)$ The innovator's dilemma: have they failed yet? Known for its daring design that makes an impact on Gen Z redefining shoes designs for a whole generation, Crocs have been the innovator in this space and have shown past successes in innovation (Jibbitz, Echo Clogs, Platform Clogs). We have seen several successful iterations of their ideas across different shoes types. From the perspective that Crocs aren't cheap and in this environment where consumers are holding back, where Coca Cola and McDonald facing consumers changes in preferences and Nike facing innovation issues, Crocs still continue on their strong position despite all these obstacles. The focus on HeyDude which is a small segment of Crocs does
$HighCom Ltd(HCL.AU)$ Ok ive talked about this stock a couple of times. Its an Australian company with subsidiaries in the USA. I first brought it when russia invaded ukraine. They make military helmets and body armor, and do drones as well. Im seriously anti war, but the stuff they make saves the lives of people that didn't start war, so i was fine investing in it. Shortly after i invested, the company Received the largest contract they had ever had to supply helmets and body armor to an anonymous buyer, and the cash was paid in advance in full. Obviously ukraine, but they could not disclose that. This was a game changer for the business but it took about 2 months for the market to pick the news up, and the stock skyrocketed eventually. T
