Do you believe the speculative news from WSJ that SpaceX will merge with $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ ? If you have read my post and its clear which company Musk control and which he does not, US pension funds giants will not allow control in TSLA to be ceded to SpaceX where Musk dictates 100%.
With 5.5 hours to go before US market resumes trading on Thu, 21 May 2026 - things are not looking up again, despite $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ stellar earnings report out. It did not buoy the market as anticipated. Now the media is saying that the euphoria has been baked-into its current stock price of $233.47 per share. In fact, at the moment, NVDA is poised to open lower (-0.64%) when trading resumes post earnings. Stil, I think NVDA is a keeper as the mastermind of AI is still keeping a tight watch over the ecosystem, it tries to hard to maintain and control. Kudos for trying, Mr Huang...
@JC888:Rising Inflation Spook US Market Again? How ?
SpaceX has officially announced its IPO and has just began its socialization, making it ways to all corporate events to sell itself to prospectives interested. Share price is touted to be between $520 - 560 per share. That is before its eventual forward stock split of 1 for 5 shares, diulting the price to about $105 per share. With RKLB at $134.28 - errhh... is it more "expensive" than SpaceX ? Oh dear, will RKLB fall upon SpaceX IPO ? Gotta be careful when it comes to big ticket stocks - agree ?
1.5 hours into trading on Wed, 20 May 2026 - all 3 US composite indexes have successfully staged a recovery. Yesterday 'biggest' loser - Nasdaq is the top gainer so far, at +1.09% gain, followed by S&P 500 (+0.73%) and then the Dow (+0.67%). Is Market high anticipation of $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ quarterly earnings the key catalyst as mooted by the news media ? What do you think ?
@JC888:Rising Inflation Spook US Market Again? How ?
With 10mins to go before US market opens for Wednesday trading, RKLB is expected to rise to $127.40 when trading resumes. Time to take a token stake at this space stock ? I am tempted. What about you ?
The stock market loves a hot IPO story, who doesnât ? $Cerebras Systems(CBRS)$ IPO last week is a fine example. So far, no initial public offerings (IPOs) have generated more anticipation than SpaceX, with SPAX as its ticker is supposed to be SPAX (subjected to change) Reports that Elon Muskâs private space giant, with a possible valuation approaching $2 trillion, could file to go public by 12 Jun 2026 is really heating up momentum & sentiments and have investors dreaming about the next great wealth-building stock. This is inevitable, after all SpaceX - (1) dominates commercial launches, (2) owns the Starlink satellite network, and (3) sits at the center of the modern space economy. However, the reality of chasing big IPO hype, often does not
Replying to @Harj:Hi, thanks for making time to read my post. Will you consider "follow me" and get first hand read of my daily new post/s ? I have one out yesterday on last week's US inflation reports and more... Hope you will like it too. Thanks...//@Harj:Very well researched and informative article
Replying to @Ah_Meng:Hi, thanks for reading my post and sharing your views. Agree that if interest rate rises to 5.5% or more, the tide might turn from equities to bonds. However, yesterday media also talked about interest rate will rise to the "ideal" pivot that will shake giant pension funds interest due to US growing national debt, exacerbated by Trump's Middle East war. If it should and would rise to 5% and more, I will park some US dollars there to earn some interest and minimize the extreme swings in the market, not for the faint hearted... hee hee.//@Ah_Meng:5% in 30 years US treasury yield is no longer enough to entice investors given the ever-increasing fiscal de

On Mon, 18 May 2026 - 2 of 3 US composite indexes fell - S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Only Dow managed to stay in the green zone. Will it be the same today as tension seems to be brewing in the Middle East again; with Defense minister Hegseth saying that congressional approval is not required should the Trump administration decided to launch another attack on Iran. This will be treacherous week for US market. Agree ?

On 11 May 2026, I have presented a summary of all the Jobs reports out the week before (click here !for the details) and wondered aloud how the inflation reports will affect US market.

By now, I am certain most of my regular readers would âknowâ that I think Quantum computing will be the next âbigâ Tech after AI. I have in the past, shared posts on stocks like $Rigetti Computing(RGTI)$ and $D-Wave Quantum Inc.(QBTS)$ where I have vested interests. Click here ! for the most recent. This post is no exceptions and itâs QBTSâs latest quarterly earnings. Q1 2026 Earnings. On Tue, 12 May 2026, QBTS reported its Q1 2026 earnings: Earnings per share: Came in at -$0.05 vs analystsâ forecasts of -$0.08 vs Q1 2025âs -$0.02; thatâs a -150% YoY dip.

30 mins before Friday trading, US pre-market indicators are all in Red. Will NVDA and CBRS be able to close off Friday on a high? I doubt it becos both S&P 500 and Nasdaq pre-mkt fall is high at - 1.17% & - 1.71% decline....
