China Faces Credit Downgrade Risk as Central Bank Holds Junk Assets
$HSI(HSI)$ $Direxion Daily FTSE China Bear 3X Shares(YANG)$ $PING AN(02318)$ $SSE Comp(000001.SH)$ China Faces Rising Risks as Future Credit Downgrade Threatens Currency and Capital Outflows Recently, Reuters reported similar rumors that many may remember: the Chinese government was supposedly planning a ¥2 trillion special bond issuance. Half of this was intended to stimulate consumer spending, while the other half was for supporting local governments with debt relief, including an 800-yuan monthly subsidy per child for families with two or more children. As it turned out, these claims were
TOPneo26000: TLDR - Summary: Recent discussions about a ¥10 trillion stimulus plan in China highlight ongoing economic challenges. While ¥6 trillion aims to address local government debt, it only offers temporary relief without structural reforms. The remaining ¥4 trillion targets land purchases but may not stabilize the plummeting real estate market. Additionally, the absence of proposed family subsidies signals a narrow focus on immediate economic stimulation rather than long-term solutions. With pressures from potential U.S. trade policies, a managed yuan depreciation seems likely. Overall, without meaningful reforms, heavy reliance on bond issuance may harm China’s credit rating and economic stability - Hope I got this right

Why AAPL is Leading the Charge in AI-Powered Consumer Devices
$Apple(AAPL)$’s latest MacBook Pro release, powered by the new M4 chip family, is a clear signal of the company’s commitment to innovation and AI-forward computing. Despite earlier criticisms that Apple was becoming stagnant, the company has effectively silenced skeptics with the launch of this high-performance, AI-integrated lineup. The M4 chips, built on advanced 3nm technology, offer unprecedented power, efficiency, and the inclusion of Apple's new "Apple Intelligence" for on-device AI capabilities. In my view, this strategic step cements Apple's role as a frontrunner in AI-driven computing, paving the way for future growth and solidifying its competitive advantage. The M4 chip family, comprising the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max, represents Apple's m

2024 Halloween Sale: Bagging Bargains I seized the opportunity to bolster my portfolio during the recent market dip, snatching up: - $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ - A strategic play on the cryptocurrency space - $Microsoft(MSFT)$ - A stalwart tech giant with resilient growth prospects Next on my radar: $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$.

Amazon Cloud Business Powers Earnings Beat. $208 PT Possible?
$Amazon.com(AMZN)$ stock jumped after it reported its third-quarter results after market close on Thursday (31 Oct). Revenue growth of 11% powered better-than-expected earnings. Amazon said that it earned an adjusted $1.43 per share on sales of $158.9 billion for the September-ended quarter. It came in better that the adjusted earnings of $1.14 per share on sales of $157.3 billion expected by analysts.

Verizon 3Q24 Report - 31% Drop in EPS, What Is Going On?
This quarter $Verizon(VZ)$ released their reports with a shocking 31% drop in EPS compared to 3Q23. This was primarily driven by a severance charge of $1.7 billion from a voluntary separation program announced in June 2024. Don’t be fooled by the short-term numbers, this program is intended to pave the way for future financial improvement in the long run. The severance charge affected the consolidated net income by -30.2% and EBITDA by -13.57% compared to 3Q23. Verizon reported an Adjusted EBITDA of $12.5 billion, which excludes severance charges, marking the highest figure in the company's history.

Black Friday Deals in the Stock Market
Ah, telling me about discounts after I've already placed my orders.Although the sell-off was rather abrupt, I still view it as pre-emptive risk release. The longer-term uptrend remains intact, providing dip-buying opportunities.$Apple (AAPL)$I was second-guessing my $230 put sale from earlier this week as too aggressive. Someone paid over $2 million to buy those $230 puts at the open, essentially fading my position:Buy $AAPL 20241122 230.0 PUT$ Ultimately it may not matter if earnings disappoint, as a rebound could materialize post U.S. election next week.The initial expectation was a rally into the vote, then a sell-off.

"Unreliable" Stocks Rise While Strong Stocks Fall? Do You Have The Same Stocks?
A user on WSB shared that they bought $Reddit(RDDT)$ shares during its IPO and did nothing, yet their investment is now up 150%. Reddit is known as a platform for meme stocks, with WSB (WallStreetBets) gaining fame during the GME short squeeze battle in 2021. Despite Reddit’s association with meme stocks and its seemingly unreliable reputation, it managed to achieve profitability in this earnings report.“Unreliable” stocks bring the most profit?On Tuesday, Reddit announced its first quarterly profit and projected Q4 revenue above expectations, boosted by AI content licensing deals and strong digital ad spending, causing its shares to rise 41% yesterday.Another example mentioned yesterday is $Carvana Co.(CVNA)
TOPFavourite $CRDF in open positions 🔺🅱️🆄🅻🅻🅸🆂🅷📈🔬🧬 CRDF: Brewing a Biotech Breakout 🧬🔬📈 Kia ora Tiger traders! Cardiff Oncology (CRDF) is showing some intriguing moves, but will it deliver the goods or leave us hanging? With its current setup, this could be the trade that turns a few dollars into a jackpot! 🚀📊 Let’s dive into the latest data, chart insights, and market chatter to find out! 📊 Tech Check: The CRDF Chart Rundown 📊 • Current Price: $2.83 (Market Closed, 25 Oct) 📉 • Post-Market: $2.94 (+3.89%) 📈 • 52-Week High: $6.42 • 52-Week Low: $0.94 • Volume: 573.8K The chart is teasing a classic cup and handle formation, a beloved signal among technical traders. 🏆☕ With eyes set on $3.24 as a breakout target, a successful breach could send CRDF soaring! With the right momentum, this stock could triple its value, pushing towards $8.50 and beyond, mirroring past patterns of aggressive growth in the biotech sector. 📈🚀 Is this the breakout you’ve been waiting for? 💼 Earnings & Financials: Improving, but Still in the Red 💼 • Q2 EPS Loss: -$0.26 (vs. expected -$0.25) 🔴 • Revenue: $0.16M (35.83% above estimates) 📈 • 2024 H1 EPS: -$0.49 (better than -$0.93 in 2023 FY) Despite the ongoing losses, CRDF has outperformed revenue expectations 4 times in a row. It’s a slow but steady grind up, and those with a long-term vision might see potential where others see volatility. 📉➡️📈 🟢 Positives: Consistent revenue growth, R&D advances, sector tailwinds. 🔴 Negatives: EPS still in negative territory, high short interest (~42.84%). 🧠📊 Analyst Ratings: Majority Bullish, But Caution Remains 🧠📊 • 🟢 Strong Buy: 20% • 🟢 Buy: 80% • 🟡 Hold: 0% • 🔴 Sell: 0% The sentiment is overwhelmingly positive—80% of analysts recommend buying, hinting at a promising future. Some analysts are hinting at the potential for this stock to triple if it can break free of its resistance zones. However, the Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) suggests caution. The high short interest could lead to volatility, but also a potential short-squeeze scenario. 🏹💣 💸 Capital Flow & Trading Sentiment 💸 CRDF’s turnover rate of 1.33% reflects moderate but stable trading activity. Post-market action shows a bump to $2.94 (+3.89%), signalling renewed interest. Traders are watching key levels: 📍 Resistance: • $3.24 (Major Target) 🚧 (The breakout could see CRDF surge towards $8.50) • $3.01 (Immediate Resistance) 🔽 Support: • $2.66 (MA30 Strong Support) • $2.73 (Recent Low) A decisive push past $3.24 could ignite a bullish trend, while a drop below $2.66 may indicate the bears are still in control. 🔄🔮 🏆 Competitive Edge: Where Does CRDF Stand? 🏆 1. Moderna (MRNA) • 🟢 Buy: 70% • 🟡 Hold: 20% • 🔴 Sell: 10% • Trend: Riding FDA approvals; solid revenue growth 🌟 2. BioNTech (BNTX) • 🟢 Buy: 60% • 🟡 Hold: 30% • 🔴 Sell: 10% • Trend: Strong partnerships; bullish sentiment 🤝📈 3. Gilead Sciences (GILD) • 🟢 Buy: 50% • 🟡 Hold: 40% • 🔴 Sell: 10% • Trend: Mixed trial results, robust cash flow 📉💸 CRDF might be a small fish in a big pond, but don’t underestimate its resilience. Will it be the biotech sleeper hit? 🏅🧬💡 🌟 BC’s Final Word: High Stakes or High Potential? 🌟 CRDF is like a Kiwi surfing the biotech waves—risky, thrilling, and unpredictable! 🌊🏄 With the right setup, this stock has the potential to triple in value, making it one to watch. If you’re keen on a potential breakout, now’s the time to keep a close watch on the $3.24 mark. A smooth sail or a wipeout? Only time will tell! 🏄🕶️ Hey Tiger Traders, are you betting on a breakout or waiting for clearer signs? 🤔📈📉 @TigerGPTcould you analyse the historical trends of biotech stocks forming a cup and handle, particularly in high-short-interest environments? 🧠📊 Happy trading ahead.
