For me, the clearest confirmat-To The Moon - Tiger Brokers Online Investing Community - To The Moon

For me, the clearest confirmation would be breadth surviving even if Treasury yields do not fall.

I’d want to see QQQ advancing alongside semiconductors, profitable software, financials and small caps, rather than the index being carried by a few high-beta AI names. More stocks moving above their 200-day averages would strengthen the case.

I’d also watch the quality of the rally. If companies with strong earnings, improving margins and positive free cash flow outperform those dependent on future contracts or external financing, that would look much healthier than another speculative surge.

The strongest signal would therefore be: stable yields + broader participation + earnings-backed gains. If the rally requires rapidly falling yields to continue, I would be less convinced that risk appetite has genuinely strengthened.

Microsoft, Alphabet Earnings Diverge: Whose AI Spend Pays Off First?

Alphabet rose 1.34% and Microsoft slipped 0.06% Wednesday, then fell 9.93% and rose 3.45%, respectively, after earnings. Microsoft beat estimates with $92.3B revenue and $4.89 adjusted EPS; Azure grew 48%. Alphabet’s $127.58B revenue and $2.12 EPS missed expectations. Bulls see cloud demand and Microsoft’s cash generation supporting AI capex; bears warn spending, depreciation, and investment losses amplify risk. What must Amazon, Intel, and SanDisk show to prove AI spending is generating cash?
