$Dollar General(DG)$ is a major player in the discount retail space, and their earnings calls often provide valuable insights into consumer health and retail trends. Dollar General's upcoming fiscal Q3 2025 earnings (for the quarter ended October 31, 2025), which is expected to be released on December 4, 2025 before the market open. Dollar General (DG) Q3 2025 Earnings Analysis Consensus Estimates Current analyst consensus suggests modest year-over-year growth in both revenue and earnings. Key Context: Dollar General's ability to cater to cost-conscious consumers, especially during inflationary periods, has historically been a strength, leading to market share gains in consumables. The company has also demonstrated solid recent performance, with a p

Trend Insights:It is still too early to turn fully bullish on U.S. equities; the main strategic focus should be on trading a potential second bottom rather than rushing to deploy all capital. The current market is shifting from a one-way rally driven by expectations of monetary easing toward a choppier regime in which investors are repricing the timing of rate cuts, the AI bubble, and credit spreads. Over the medium term, U.S. stocks still have a good chance of delivering a “Santa rally,” but near-term risks have not been cleared, and the necessary conditions for a durable reversal are only gradually falling into place, so the time for an all-out long stance has not yet arrived.December rate cut not locked inAt the moment, the probability of a December rate cut implied by Fed funds futures

Black Friday is here, there are two groups of people, some are buying products and some are buying discounted stocks, I believe that we should eyed some of the stocks that could be “discounted” (or at least have reasonably attractive entry points) and may benefit from a potential year-end / December rally, or secular tailwinds (AI, value, dividends, etc.). Notable Stocks on Watch (Late 2025) Larger / More Established Picks Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) — Backed recently by a large vote of confidence from Berkshire Hathaway, which disclosed a massive purchase of GOOGL shares. Investopedia Because of that institutional support, and given GOOGL’s dominant position in search, ads and AI-cloud services, many view GOOGL as a “buy the dip” if the stock is moderately depressed.

Last week’s U.S. non-farm payroll data attracted widespread attention due to severe market disagreements and the need for official data to guide trading decisions.As the first official data released after the U.S. government shutdown ended, although it was delayed by two months, it still provided a baseline for the market's subsequent trend. Before the release, the market had largely withdrawn expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut in December, with the probability dropping below 50%, which was a main reason for the stock index decline last week. After the data release, Federal Reserve officials voiced mixed views, with both dovish and hawkish statements highlighting significant divergence ahead of the December Fed meeting. Dovish comments raised the odds of a rate cut and boosted sto

🖤 Black Friday Is Here: Buying Discounted Products… or Discounted Stocks? This year’s Black Friday isn’t just happening in Orchard, Lazada, and Shopee. It’s happening in the stock market too — and some price tags look even more broken than the mall deals. 😳💸 So the real question is… 👉 Are you filling your cart… or filling your portfolio? Let’s talk. 😎✨ ⸻ 🛍️ Option A: The Classic Black Friday Shopper If you’re the type who has been eyeing: • 🧴 Dyson hair gadgets • 📱 New iPhones • 💄 Cosmetics  • 🎧 Noise-cancelling headphones • 🍳 Philips air fryers • 🛋️ Shopee home gadgets you might never use again …then yes, Black Friday is your Super Bowl. You get instant gratification, nice packaging, and that sweet dopamine hit when the delivery guy arrives. 📦😌 But here’s the catch: 🟡 Most products l

This year’s Black Friday isn’t just happening in shopping malls and on e-commerce apps. If you look at the market, quite a few good companies are also trading at “Black Friday” prices after months of volatility, rate worries, and sector rotations. So it makes me think: should we be rushing to buy discounted products, or quietly accumulating discounted stocks instead? When we talk about discounts on products, it’s very straightforward. A TV is 30% off, a phone is 40% off – but one year later, both are worth less than what we paid. The value is consumed. With stocks, a real discount is different. A good “Black Friday stock” to me is a company where the business is still solid – earnings are growing or at least stable, the competitive advantage is intact, management is still executing – but t

This year’s Black Friday feels like a sale on both goods and equities. Major indices corrected, sentiment slipped into fear, and several star names are trading at deep discounts. The question is whether to spend on consumer deals or to treat this as a window for tactical accumulation. How I see the setup • Valuations have normalised after weeks of sell-down. Several mega-caps are now 10–25 percent off their highs. • Volatility has peaked for now, which often precedes short-term rebounds. • Liquidity conditions are improving, with markets pricing a softer Fed stance and QT ending soon. This creates a favourable backdrop for selective buying rather than broad hesitation. Products or stocks? Products make sense if you are fulfilling real-life needs. Cash flow stability always comes first. Equ

Market Setup This Black Friday brought discounts not only in shops but also across equities, as risk sentiment weakened and volatility picked up. Several leaders in tech, crypto, and consumer sectors are trading meaningfully below recent highs. The key question is whether to shop for bargains in the market or stick to real-world deals. If You Prefer Tactical Rebound Plays Oversold conditions favour short-term traders. • Megacap tech: Names like Nvidia, Meta, and Tesla have pulled back enough to offer rebound potential if sentiment stabilises. • Quality growth: Google and Microsoft remain structurally strong, and dips in these names tend to attract institutional flows. • Crypto-linked stocks: Volatile but offer upside if Bitcoin regains momentum. These positions suit investors comfortable w

This Black Friday, I’m not just looking at mall deals — the real bargains are in the market. Seeing names like LULU $Lululemon Athletica(LULU)$ , DECK $Deckers Outdoor(DECK)$ , CMG, and NVO all down more than 40% YTD feels like one of those rare valuation windows where sentiment has swung too far. These are strong brands with solid demand, and sharp sell-downs often create attractive entry points. Of course, the product deals are tempting too. LULU gear at yearly lows, discounted Hoka shoes, and Amazon’s sitewide offers make it a great time to restock essentials. Some of these items hardly ever go on sale, so it’s har

🌟🌟🌟This Black Friday, the tendency is to Buy Buy Buy.  But here is the twist : In shopping Buy Buy Buy often means filling carts with things that fade. In investing: Buy Buy Buy can mean filling our portfolio with Assets that can compound. The danger is the same for both : chasing hype, mistaking discounts for value. So my mantra changes from Buy buy buy to Choose choose choose wisely.  Every purchase, whether gadget or stock is really a vote for the future me. So this Black Friday, I will shop with an intentional mindset. The important thing to do is pausing to ask : Do I really need it? Can it compound in the future? Products fade.  Stocks grow.  Consumption comforts today.  Conviction compounds tomorrow. @Tige

Oracle seems to have the backing of the US president, guess their boss has been chraming Mr. trump. So it is possible to buy the dip on Oracle then exiting after to make a neat profit. I also recall Oracle having the backing of some bank saying that there's no bubble or something along that line (don't quote me on it, can't remember the specific) so that might just be the wind in Oracle's sail to climb back up

I guess I am buying both  [LOL] of course for me the stock is my primary choice but their discounted product in the shopping mall is also very attractive  [Gosh] So why not just shopping within the budget of my wallet [Blush]

#Black Friday is Here: Shopping shopping  Buying spree

I think it is still early to turn fully bullish (after all bullish rhymes so much with foolish 🙄)on US markets. Focus on quality & beat the hype.

Also, what's with the uneven font in the graphic? AI generated mess? Or some cryptic message that we are supposed to figure out?
