From MAGA to HODL: Trump Wants Your 401(k) $$ support Crypto
$S&P 500(.SPX)$ As cryptocurrencies enter a new bull phase, President TACO has reportedly set his sights on the $8 trillion U.S. retirement savings market. According to senior advisors close to his campaign, Trump is preparing an executive order — should he regain the White House in 2025 — that would open the door for 401(k) plans and IRAs to allocate a portion of their assets into digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. This ambitious move, his aides argue, could “democratize access to the future of finance” while cementing his administration’s pro-crypto credentials and countering what they call “stifling overregulation” under the current SEC and Department of Labor regimes. But the prospect of steering America’s retirement savings into cr
As I look at this post titled "Aim for $10Trln? Next 10x Bagger Still Nvidia?", I'm intrigued by the discussion around market capitalizations. It mentions that as of Tuesday, July 15, there are only three companies in the world with a market capitalization exceeding $3 trillion. I find it impressive that Nvidia $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ ranks first with $4.17 trillion, followed by Microsoft $Microsoft(MSFT)$ at $3.76 trillion, and Apple at $3.12 trillion. I'm amazed to see the market's expectations for Nvidia to potentially reach $10 trillion. The post highlights Nvidia's incredible growth, noting that over the past five years, it h
As an observer of the crypto market, I am genuinely impressed by the recent surge in Ethereum, hitting $3,600, which marks its highest point since January 7. This milestone suggests a strong upward trend that has caught the attention of many investors. The fact that Solana has also jumped by 21 percent over the past month only adds to the excitement surrounding these digital assets. Turning to the stock market, I notice that related crypto stocks have already seen significant gains, particularly during what is being called Crypto Week. The passage of all three major bills seems to have fueled this momentum, creating a favorable environment for companies tied to the cryptocurrency sector. It is an intriguing development that highlights the growing influence of regulatory support on market p
I prefer stocks over options due to my lower risk tolerance. I accept lower returns for stability and trust in long-term growth. My best pick, PLTR, has shown solid gains with its data analytics focus. The TSMC 222% gain is impressive, but I haven’t hit that mark. Still, PLTR’s steady rise suits my strategy. I believe in time over options’ volatility. I haven’t seen 30,000% returns like Nvidia, but gradual growth works for me. I focus on stocks with strong fundamentals, like PLTR, for sustainable gains. In short, I stick to stocks for lower risk and trust time-driven growth, with PLTR as my standout so far.
JP Morgan Delivers Another Beat: Business as Usual or Time to Buy?
$JPMorgan Chase(JPM)$ This morning, JP Morgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) reported its latest quarterly results before the opening bell. Shares dipped modestly, closing down about 0.74% after a volatile session, but nothing alarming for the world’s largest bank by market capitalization. Investors and analysts alike were keen to parse the numbers—not just for what they say about the bank itself, but also for what they reveal about U.S. consumers, corporate spending, and the broader economy. JP Morgan’s earnings once again beat expectations—marking what may be its 11th or 12th consecutive beat on both revenue and earnings per share. Here’s a closer look at the highlights of the quarter, what they tell us about the state of the economy, and whether the stock re
Still Clicking? Why Google Might Be Worth Buying at $185”
$Alphabet(GOOG)$ The second-quarter earnings season of 2025 has arrived, and all eyes are on the tech titans that have long powered market returns. Among them, Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL)—better known as Google—remains a bellwether of not just the technology sector but of the global economy’s digital transformation at large. With shares currently trading near $185, up nearly 15% year-to-date and sitting close to all-time highs, investors face a critical question: does Google still represent a compelling buy at this level, or has much of the upside already been priced in? Alphabet’s Q2 results offer a nuanced picture of strength in core businesses, progress in artificial intelligence (AI) monetization, and persistent risks. This article takes a d
How Do Other Tech Firms Respond To Similar CPI & Rate Scenarios?
We saw how Nvidia stock reacted after it announced plans to resume sales of its H20 GPUs to China following assurances from the U.S. government regarding export licenses. On 15 July 2025 we also have the CPI data release for June 2025, and though Nvidia announcement did help the stock market to demonstrate resilience initially but that momentum quickly faded off by rising interest rates following the release of June's CPI report. So in this article, I would like to explore and share how would other tech firms respond to similar CPI and rate scenarios. Tech firms respond to CPI and rate shifts with a mix of pricing strategy, cost optimization, and strategic pivots—though the playbook varies by subsector and business model. Here is a breakdown across regimes: Disinflation + Rate Cuts Cloud &

Inflation Warnings from CPI in a Tariff Storm: Can Gold Prices Go Higher?
In the first half of 2025, international gold prices repeatedly hit new highs, driven by escalating global tariff risks and geopolitical tensions. At its peak, the price once surged past the $3,500/oz mark. As the second quarter began, the upward momentum significantly slowed, with prices currently fluctuating narrowly between $3,300 and $3,400/oz. The key factors fueling the price increase, such as geopolitical strife and uncertainty over the Federal Reserve’s policies, are losing their impact. Meanwhile, renewed turbulence in U.S. tariff negotiations and the latest CPI data, which is far from reassuring, have reignited market concerns about inflation.Renewed U.S. Tariff Shock Elevates Global Trade RisksThe newest wave of U.S. tariff threats has injected even greater unpredictability into
Weekly Commentary on US Stock Market, US reporting season & Tariff flip-flop continues
US Stock MarketThe $S&P 500(.SPX)$ rose 0.3% this morning to close at 6264 after reaching an all-time high of 6302 earlier in yesterday’s session. Trump’s purported murmurings about Fed Chair Powell’s future halfway through today’s session sent the market lower while bank earnings and inflation woes weighed on the benchmark index yesterday. But the market rallied into the close today as Trump denied the Powell sacking rumour. The independence of the Federal Reserve is a key component of the US market and any speculation of Trump changing this sends shivers down the spin of market participants. The big news for the week was the $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ CEO Jensen Huang stating that it hope
Markets are shrugging off Trump's tariffs. Experts explain why. $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ President Donald Trump in recent days slapped tariffs as high as 50% on dozens of countries, restoring the type of aggressive trade policy that sent stocks plummeting a few months ago. The new round of levies prompted little more than a shrug on Wall Street. Stocks even recorded gains on Monday as investors looked past tariffs over the weekend targeting the European Union and Mexico, two top U.S. trade partners. Trump has rolled back many of his steepest tariffs over recent months, giving rise to an in
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Grok-4’s launch is a bold step by Elon Musk’s xAI and could become a powerful asset for Tesla — but whether it becomes *the* AI weapon depends on execution and real-world performance. 🚗 Integration into Tesla: - If Grok-4 is embedded in Tesla vehicles, it could enhance *voice interaction*, *navigation*, *driver support*, and even *customer service*. - However, real-time, car-based large model performance is *unproven at scale*, especially under safety and latency constraints. 🧠 “PhD-level” Claims: - Grok-4 outperforming PhDs on academic questions is ambitious. - In reality, LLMs can *mimic* expert-level answers, but true discipline mastery also requires reasoning and real-world context, w

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ My bias opinion is that it will still achieve $350. Tesla's upcoming *Model Y L* — a large six-seater luxury EV — targets the Chinese market and builds on the strong reputation of the Model Y series. Given that China is Tesla’s *most competitive and strategically important EV market*, this launch could: - *Reignite demand* by appealing to families and premium buyers - Differentiate Tesla from lower-cost domestic rivals - Strengthen brand positioning in the luxury EV space However, pricing, local competition (e.g. BYD, Li Auto), and broader economic sentiment will heavily influence its success. As for Tesla's stock returning to *350*, it would require: - Strong delivery growth (especially i

$Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ IMHO, while the procedural vote passage represents a significant but measured victory for crypto regulation. While this clears the path for formal voting, the contentious 9-hour debate and Republican holdouts signal underlying concerns about CBDC implications. Circle’s Position: Despite the GENIUS Act’s eventual passage through procedural hurdles, Circle’s stock has shown mixed performance, declining 14.2% from July 1-17 despite current trading at $233. This suggests markets are pricing in execution risks rather than celebrating regulatory clarity. Bitcoin Rally Sustainability: The recent $123,000 peak followed by pullback to $116,000-$119,000 range indicates profit-taking pressure. While institutional adoption
