US Market Crash: Warning or False Alarm?
Have you noticed ‘trendy’ news prints appearing rather frequent recently ? Below is one such posts. (see below) It piqued my interest because it concerns the US stock market that I am vested in. So, here’s what I have found and sharing. Updated market commentary A major correction in the US composite indexes remains a credible risk, but it is not a confirmed or inevitable outcome yet. Since 01 Sep 2026, the warning signals have become more numerous: Elevated valuations, Deteriorating market breadth. Rising Treasury yields. Oil above US$100 a barrel. A more hawkish Federal Reserve. Narrow AI-led leadership. However, strong earnings expectations and continued demand for large technology companies have (so far) prevented a broad market breakdown. The long-term backdrop is unusually strong: Th
US Market Crash: Warning or False Alarm?
Replying to @snappix:Hi, thank you for reading my post and sharing your views. It is always tough when taking over someone with a reputation that precedes everything, not to mention doing business and investing in US stocks are getting tougher year by year. Regardless, as the incoming CEO, Abel will need to prove himself to investors and earn their trusts. It is just a tough job made worse by having to follow after Mr Buffett thats all.//@snappix:Valuation probably needs a reset first, then Abel gets priced on execution. I would expect choppy trading for a while, but the culture premium does not disappear overnight

With less than 5 mins to go before US market opens for Tuesday, 2 of 3 US composite futures indexes are poised to open marginally higher, while the tech index is poised to open lower by -0.05%. (see attached) Will BRK.B follows S&P 500 futures index trajectory ?

Enclosed is the latest US pre-market stock prices of TTE, XOM and CVX. All 3 stocks are spotting a lower opening price, dipping by -0.89%, -1.41% and -1.11% respectively. With Chinese President Xi Jinping due for an official visit on Wed, 23 Sep 2026, really don't think Trump will initial an attack on Iran, during Xi's visit. What different will 2 days make when the disruption has already lasted for 6 months already. Law of relativity -no ?

With less than half an hour to go before US market resumes trading on Tue, 22 Sep 2026 - latest oil prices (Brent & WTI) continues to cool, trading below the $100 mark. Brent is still at $98.17 but WTI has fallen below the $90 mark at $89.99. (see attached). I think no guessing is required on where energy stocks (oil) will be heading today.

On Mon, 21 Sep 2026, oil prices fell for a 4th consecutive session as (1) improving flows through the Hormuz and (2) prospects for renewed diplomacy over the Iran conflict eased immediate supply concerns. Brent crude futures fell 3.4% to $100.34 a barrel, and West Texas Intermediate dropped 4.5% to $95.78 a barrel, their lowest closes since 08 Sep 2026. Naturally, TTE followed in tandem dipping by -0.79% (see attached). This is less than XOM (-2.99%) and CVX (-2.79%). The 'damage' is less comparatively speaking. Agree ?

Fri, 27 Aug 2026 marked six months since US & Israeli bombing of Iran triggered a conflict that has disrupted global energy supplies and sent ripples through global financial markets. It is also a strike that has transformed into a protracted, costly stalemate rather than the swift victory initially predicted. Below chart shows how the conflict has affected oil, equities, safe-haven assets and food prices. More importantly, the Reuters post shows why oil stocks will remain on a high as we head towards 31 Dec 2026 and into new year 2027. (1) Costly Energy. Oil prices soared as Gulf production was disrupted and shipments through the Strait of Hormuz curtailed. Brent crude briefly topped $120 in April 2026 and still averages about $90 in 2026, up from roughly $70 last year. (see below) Th

BRK.B - Post Warren era. Warren Buffett’s final transition at $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ is now complete. On 18 Sep 2026, Berkshire announced that Mr Warren Buffett, aged 96, would step down as chairman of the board with immediate effect and become Chairman Emeritus and retains his director seat. His son, Howard G. Buffett, will succeed him as chairman with Greg Abel as CEO, since assuming the role at the beginning of 2026. Final Handover In his shareholder letter, Buffett acknowledged the inevitability of time, writing that “Father Time always wins,” while also saying that time had been generous enough to let him see Berkshire reach a point where he was more confident than ever about its future. I mean, he has to say something politically posi

After a unison surge on Thu, 17 Sep - Fri saw the Dow fell by -0.18% while both S&P 500 and Nasdaq managed to reverse an intraday loss, closing higher at +0.17% & +0.40% higher for the day. As for INTC, it fell for 2 of 5 days, rising 3 of 5 days - overall rising by approx. +13%; not bad for a week's work. (see attached) The coming week will hinge on whether Trump will wage another assault on Iran. Will he be able to afford to given mid-term election is effectively 43 days away (including 19 Sep).
@JC888:Buy the rumours, Buy INTC ! Stop & Read !
It was a relief to find that only the Dow fell on Friday because just before trading resumed, it was both Dow and S&P 500 were in the red. With Nasdaq 'firmly' in the green and with a Friday +0.40% gain, SKHY was part of the contingent that helped propped up Nasdaq. (see attached) It closed up by +2.46% to end off mid-Sep at $187.50. For the week, SKHY actually gained a whooping +6.82%. I think the colour used to represent SKHY for the week is inaccurate, should be green right ? Ha, ha, ha.
@JC888:HBM Shortage, Bet on SKHY, MU or both ?
US market on Friday was an eye-opener. The Dow fell by -0.18% to close at 51,682.64, while both S&P 500 and Nasdaq managed to scrape by with a marginal gain of +0.17% & +0.40%. This as US 10 years Treasury yield continues to test the 5% mark, after the Fed announced a +0.25% interest hike for the 1st time in 3 years. While other AI-related stocks rose higher, SMCI fell instead. This does not show confidence but more speculation in nature, you run at first sight. What do you think ? (see attached)
@JC888:SMCI the darkhorse. Better than NVDA ? Mmm...
With less than 10 mins to go before trading resumes on US market this Friday, the tides has turned for SMCI, less than an hour ago. SMCI is poised to open lower at $40.17; instead of higher. This comes about becos Trump is mulling to restart its attack on Iran. He even talked about annihilating’ Tehran. All these negative thoughts have spooked US market all over again. Why can't he keep his gap shut for once ?
@JC888:SMCI the darkhorse. Better than NVDA ? Mmm...
With 15mins to go before Friday trading resumes, 2 of 3 US composite futures indexes are "Red". What a difference a few hours could transpired. Reason ? It was less than an hour ago that Trump again incoherently talked of ‘annihilating’ Tehran. He is sowing discord by mulling further military action to break the deadlock in the Middle East. His pool of advisors is sitting by, watching him sink further & further into the abyss. In the meantime, his rattle has spooked the US market once again. I have no doubt that SMCI would have turned red too.
