🧸 Pop Mart at HK$300: Disney-in-the-Making or Hype at Its Peak? Pop Mart has been the darling of Hong Kong’s consumer rally in 2025. From the frenzy around Labubu to the surprise move into jewellery, it’s built one of the most talked-about IP-driven ecosystems in Asia. But now, even the bulls are pausing. This week, JPMorgan cut its target price from HK$400 to HK$300, warning that the year’s biggest catalysts are already priced in. Shares are holding near record highs, but the downgrade begs a tough question: is this dip a gift for believers, or the start of a hangover after too much hype? --- 📊 What Fueled the Rocket Ride? Pop Mart’s rally wasn’t luck — it was execution plus timing. H1 revenue jumped +204% YoY to RMB 13.9B, outpacing nearly every consumer peer. Management hiked its full-y
Flowers Foods: A High-Yield Defensive Name Facing a Re-Rating — Is Today’s Price the Buy Zone?
$Flowers(FLO)$ Introduction: A Defensive Stalwart Under Pressure For decades, Flowers Foods, Inc. (NYSE: FLO) has been a steady presence in American pantries. With household brands like Nature’s Own, Dave’s Killer Bread, Canyon Bakehouse, and Tastykake, the company has built a resilient portfolio that historically delivered dependable returns to shareholders. But 2025 has not been kind. Flowers Foods shares have fallen to roughly $13.50 per share as of mid-September 2025, near multi-year lows. This places its market capitalization at just above $3 billion and drives its dividend yield close to 7%. On paper, such a yield from a consumer staples name seems like a gift. Yet the market rarely misprices stocks without reason. Investors are grappling wit

Here’s an analysis of whether the Fed’s dovish tilt plus easing trade tensions might sustain a rally, and what to expect for rate cuts in 2025. --- 1. Will the Fed’s dovish tilt + easing trade tensions set the stage for a sustainable rally? Tailwinds in favor Rate-cut expectations easing financial conditions Markets are pricing in about 1 key cut (25 bps) soon (mid-September) and more over the rest of the year. A lowering of interest rates tends to reduce borrowing costs, improve liquidity, and boost investor sentiment. Softening labor market & cooling inflation giving the Fed room There are signs the jobs market is losing some momentum, and inflation pressures are showing some moderation. That gives policymakers more flexibility to ease without immediate risk of runaway inflation.&nbs
Second Time Is A Charm? Is $Oracle(ORCL)$ the comeback stock on US stock exchange ? Analysts from the following financial institutions seemed to think so: Guggenheim Securities’s John DiFucci said he was “blown away”. TD Cowen’s Derrick Wood called it a “momentous quarter”. Deutsche Bank’s Brad Zelnick said, “We’re all kind of in shock, in a very good way”. That’s how the analysts opened their comments and questions during Oracle’s quarterly earnings call on Tue, 9 Sep 2025. This as ORCL’s stock price was in the midst of a +28% after-hours rally. The software vendor had just reported an earnings and revenue miss, but nobody was paying attention to that. Strange ? Wall Street was singularly focused on: ORCL’s forward-looking numbers. ORCL’s massive

Why Are Listed Companies Suddenly Raising Billions to Go All-In on Crypto Treasuries?
The trend of companies raising cash to be crypto treasury firms is blowing up. We've all seen the headlines: MicroStrategy (now Strategy) stacking BTC like it's going out of style, SharpLink Gaming pivoting to ETH, GameStop dipping into debt for Bitcoin, and even Trump Media raising $2.5B for a BTC treasury. Over $98B raised by public companies just this year to build crypto reserves, per Architect Partners data. That's more than twice the cash from U.S. IPOs! What's driving this frenzy? Is it genius fiduciary moves or just meme-stock euphoria? Let's break it down and discuss—bullish takes, bearish warnings, all welcome. Fiduciary Duty + Inflation Hedge: Cash is Trash in a High-Rate World Traditional cash reserves are getting wrecked by inflation and near-zero yields (even with Fed cuts lo

$Alibaba(BABA)$$GRANITESHARES 2X LONG BABA DAILY ETF(BABX)$ 🐉🇨🇳💹 $BABA is breathing fire right now. The 1H chart shows a powerful rising channel, pushing near 160 with room toward the 172 magnet. Both the 4H Bollinger and Keltner bands are expanding like a dragon spreading its wings, signalling volatility ignition. 🔥 $BABX, the 2x leveraged long ETF, is roaring even louder; the expansion is amplified, reflecting the leverage tailwind and momentum surge. Volume is the dragon’s breath here; when breakouts align with heavy inflows, the flames don’t die down quickly.

How to Find the Right LEAPS Call for You? | #OptionsHandbook EP050
If you’re bullish on a stock’s long-term potential but don’t want to commit a lot of capital to buy shares outright, holding LEAPS Call options can be a more flexible and efficient alternative. Are LEAPS Calls right for you? And how do you pick the one that fits you best? The Options Handbook has the answers! (Don’t miss the mini challenge at the end! 🎁) ▶ What is a LEAPS Call? 📜 A LEAPS Call is a long-term option with an expiration date of more than one year—sometimes even over two years.

$Ondas Holdings Inc.(ONDS)$ I recently made the decision to add more shares of Ondas Holdings (ONDS) to my portfolio, even at a higher price than my initial entry. While averaging up is often seen as a more aggressive move compared to averaging down, I believe it reflects confidence in both the company's long-term prospects and the growth potential of its sector. ONDS operates in the wireless connectivity and drone technology space, which continues to gain momentum as industries demand more efficient communication and automation solutions. By averaging up, I am reinforcing my conviction that the stock is positioned to benefit from these structural trends. My choice is also driven by the company's expanding partnerships and growing presence in
Alibaba’s been 🔥 lately — AI, cloud, food delivery all clicking. I’m watching the $190 level closely 👀. If it holds strong 💪, I might stretch my take-profit target 📈. No rush to exit when momentum’s this solid 🚀. As for those self-developed chips? That’s a big move 🧠🔧. Replacing Nvidia in training AI models isn’t just cost-saving — it’s strategic 🧭. China’s building its own tech backbone 🏗️, and Alibaba’s right in the middle of it 🇨🇳⚙️. And yeah, even at $150, I still think it’s a strong buy 💸. Cloud’s up 26% 📊, AI growth is triple digits 💥, and Ele.me’s gaining ground in food delivery 🍜. Fundamentals look solid, and the $53B AI investment plan shows they’re not slowing down 🏎️💨. What’s your exit price? 💬 Holding, trimming, or doubling down? 🔁📉📊
I'm very bullish on Oracle's $Oracle(ORCL)$ flywheel right now. The way I see it, this cycle of OpenAI deals, Larry Ellison reinvesting, and Oracle's valuation climbing is more than just hype — it's a self-reinforcing growth loop. Once momentum like this gets going in the market, it often lasts much longer than skeptics expect, and I think Oracle is in the sweet spot to benefit from it. For me, the most exciting part is Oracle's positioning in the AI boom. Nvidia $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ may be the face of GPUs and Microsoft $Microsoft(MSFT)$ the
