All the economic data releases only point to one outcome: fed leaving rates unchanged.  Data doesn't support rate cut since inflationary pressures aren't easing & fed has no incentive to hike more since it will bring bad press (elections coming this Nov). It will just be cafe chit chit session but fret not, the economists will help to create some korean drama or  Christopher Nolan movie out of it, to give the markers some excitement.  So skip the fed and go straight to the analyst reports!

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  FSD is the next big thing in the EV and AI industries. Tesla is in the pole position to make it happen. It's not only about the cutting edge tech but the strong backing of the company and most importantly, the tenacity and stubbornness of its visionary leader, musk.  Also, tesla takes up a huge component in major indices thanks to its gigantic country-gdp-comparable market cap of close to $600b. With or without FSD, it can only grow bigger bcos all etfs or managers have to buy it as part of the indices tracking or outperforming strategies. Same reason u can't short any of the magnificent 7 for longer than a week.  Yes, it will hit $200 and not only because of FSD.

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  the market is different from reality.  Reputational wise, it's an EV heavyweight; it's a component to major indices; and it's a car which is owned globally. Sentiment wise is not the best right now but it should be the bottom as long as there are no geopolitical shocks and fed giving any signs it will hike (at least no banks economists saying that)

Tough market as always

$Gaotu Techedu Inc.(GOTU)$ GOTU embodies the quintessential Rocky Balboa narrative, triumphing over adversities that include the Bill Hwang saga, allegations of faking sales, and sweeping regulatory changes in China. Against all odds, the company not only weathered these challenges but emerged stronger, boasting impressive profits, robust revenue growth, and streamlined expense management. In the second quarter of 2023, Gaotu demonstrated remarkable growth in gross billings, achieving substantial gains both on an annual and sequential basis. Notably, the company marked its third consecutive quarter of profitability and generated a significantly positive net operating cash flow. Gaotu's net revenue exhibited impressiv

$Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$  is a great crypto exchange company with a forward-looking mission statement, i.e. to create an open financial system for the world.

The crackdown was needed to ensure companies do not over-earn on the students. To be nimble and adaptable in an ever changing sector gives this company a competitive edge.

$TSLA 20240119 85.0 CALL$ $TSLA 20240119 85.0 CALL$   bought it when all analysts called for it to go to 70/share. While I never like that the analysts always make calls that only build on the momentum, I'm also wary that most investors like to subscribe to these reports. Thus, I bought calls with strike of 85/share instead of outright. Capped loss of 42/share & chance to prove to myself that these analysts just do not deserve their jobs. Shame on these analysts who always create trouble in the fin markets.

$TSLA 20240119 85.0 CALL$ $TSLA 20240119 85.0 CALL$   picked up some tesla calls when analysts were calling it to be 70 per share. Didn't want to go against the tide and neither was I convinced it will go to 70. Thus, bought calls to limit the loss with hope that those so-called analysts were wrong.

Just glad to see investors are not sufficiently blinded by inflation, interest hikes, unnecessary US-China tensions to abandon $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$. While some bitter investors and bank analysts would say it's a meme stock squeeze and my response would be you're absolutely right but meme traders or investors have the right to make monies too. Back to why it's a great stock to see if the rally is sustainable. Reputaional wise, it's one of the digital asset exchanges that is highly efficient in managing its platform & lifecycle. It's teaming up with Blackrock to offer coinbase prime to institutional clients. Kudos to Blackrock for soughting partnerships to get into a space that it's not extremely familiar. No do

the report of highest US inflation rate in 41 years is worrying & that piece of news adds more fear to the financial markets because it signifies higher or more rate hikes going forward. Now the current perception is that fed is raising rates to slow growth & consequently, will dampen inflation. What if fed is wrong? What if inflation & slow growth are able to coexist, I.e. stagflation, as how the so-called smart economists frequently term it.It is likely naive to think that raising interest rate can solve current inflation issue that is supply-constraint driven. Interest cannot solve freight cost that is sky rocketing & neither can it solve the hoarding mentality of certain companies knowing that it will further drive up the price of goods & raw material

Chinese stocks, which include some etfs like $FTSE China Bull 3X Shares(YINN)$broadly fell yesterday on news that china imposed fines on $Alibaba(09988)$$TENCENT(00700)$because of their anti monopoly guidelines violations. The transactions that were reviewed include Alibaba's acquisition of Best Inc, Tencent's purchase of Okaybuy (China) Holding Inc, as well as Ping An Healthcare And Technology Co's establishment of a joint venture with SoftBank. Before you jump into conclusion and make remarks that china regulators are being unreasonable, do take note of the following 3 points:1. These are past transactions that were concluded and this
