Replying to @moliya:Hi, tks for reading my post. Hope you like it. U knw US mkt consists of many different types of investors - including the one you mentioned. Then there's the type like Ms Cathie Wood, who buy into a stock and started singing praises to drive up buy-in, only to exit for profit. Welcome to America!//@moliya:padt1+++years I hear everyone saying crash is imminent, I this some buy investors tactics to make other telco nvesters to sell off so that they can buy at cheaper price
@JC888:US market 'maybe' crash & investor Plan B ?
On Friday when US market closed on a high of between +0.43% (S&P 500) and +0.98% (DJIA), $Micron Technology(MU)$ fell instead. By the time 4pm came around, MU fell by - 0.77%, ending the week at $966.77 per share, still above it's technical indicator of Simple Moving Averages of 20-day, 50-day and 200-day. A relief for all investors for sure. Afterall it's more than $960 per share... Agree?
Is it too early to count your chicks before they are hatch ? US market seems to be doing just fine this Friday, exactly 3 hours into weekend trade. Every index is trending higher than 30mins after US market opened this morning. The "recovery-in-motion" boosted my gains. Stay that way please ! Yay !
@JC888:US market 'maybe' crash & investor Plan B ?
It's been 30mins since US's Friday market has opened for trading. And the 'good' news is stocks rose on Friday as investors tried to find their footing following a steep sell-off driven by rising Treasury yields. (see attached). Before we celebrate thought, US market remains on pace for a weekly decline due to earlier falls in the week. Still think US market is out of the woods ? Let's keep our minds opened about this...
@JC888:US market 'maybe' crash & investor Plan B ?
With 2 mins to go before Friday trading begins, will MU end the week on a high ? Looking at Yahoo Finance pre-market pricing, it is a +1.55% gain. Will this persist till 4pm when US market ends the week ?

. Of late, the US stock market is showing valuation patterns that have historically preceded major downturns. Just to be clear, it does not mean that a crash is imminent or certain. Warnings. Looking across key economic indicators and corporate valuation metrics, the US equity market exhibits several clear, historical warning signs of structural vulnerability: (1) Metrics valuations. a) The Shiller CAPE Ratio: Measuring price versus 10-year inflation-adjusted earnings, this ratio has consistently stayed above 40 since May 2026. Outside of recent trading, the late-1990s dot-com bubble was the only other period in US history where this metric remained above 40 for an extended time. b) The Buffett Indicator: Total US stock-market value divided by US GDP, currently stands at a record roughly 2
With US market's heavy fallout on Thu - DJIA (-1.32%), S&P 500 (-0.87) & Nasdaq (-1.0%), $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ wasn't spared either. Luckily, its miniscule fall of -0.33% hardly caused a dent it its stock price, off its peak of $236.54 - spelling potential upside still ? Now we wait for 'patiently' its Q2 2026 quarterly earnings to help lift it back to its all time high ?

Wall Street expects revenue to more than double year-over-year to over $91.5 billion, driven by rock-solid artificial intelligence demand, strong hyperscaler commitments, and easing export restrictions allowing H200 chip shipments to regions like China.

Replying to @Investing Leon:Hi, tks for reading my post and sharing your views. Will the advance in AI result in a macro issue of rising unemployment due to labour displacement because of a lack of AI skills? If not handled well, an economic downturn vicious cycle ensues?//@Investing Leon:The key risk is whether HBM despec is temporary or structural. For now, AI demand remains strong.
On Thu, despite Nasdaq closing - 1.0% lower by 4om, $Micron Technology(MU)$ bucked the trend and rose by +3.97%. As a result stock price has surpassed it's 50-day Simple Moving Average. Withat that all 3 SMAs of 20-day, 50-day & 200-day are exhibiting bullish momentum. The market (traders) have spoken loud and clear? Will there be a Friday adjustment?
On Thursday, US market cont'd to consolidate, due to: (a) Rising crude oil prices. (b) Rising US bond yields. (c) Weak quarterly earnings from Walmart (d) Escalating Middle East tension with Trump launching fresh round of economic sanctions on Iran. Surprisingly, MU bucked the trend and rose instead of trending downwards like the rest of Nasdaq stocks. (see attached) Is this clearly a sign of MU's resilience & demand or just another "entrapment" ?
On Thursday, US market pulls back due to: (a) climbing crude oil prices. (b) rising government bond yields. (c) disappointing Q2 results from retail giant Walmart - widely regarded a primary bellwether for overall health of US consumer economy, retail spending habits, & the real-world impact of macro pressures like inflation, fuel costs, & import tariffs. (d) escalating geopolitical tensions following threats of heavy economic sanctions on Iran. GOOG did not escape unscathed, falling by -1.34% in intra day trading. With weekend Fri tomorrow, not buying yet. What about you ?
Almost everyday this week seems to be a better 'dip buying' day as US market continues to correct. Intra day's losses on Thursday is more severe than Wednesday. (see attach) Key reasons are due to (a) climbing crude oil prices & (b) rising government bond yields, -- compounded by (c) disappointing Q2 results from retail giant Walmart and (d) escalating geopolitical tensions following threats of heavy economic sanctions on Iran. The man has to stop talking and stage a graceful exit no ?
Replying to @HaroldAnderson:Hi, tks for reading my post and sharing your views. Still trying to figure out how many months is -"short term"? Reckoned it's easily 6 to 12 months or longer if LATEST version of HBM testing fails. Concur?//@HaroldAnderson:Iâd separate NVDAâs short-term lower-memory testing from any lasting HBM demand shift. The real watchpoint is whether TSV and stacking throughput actually loosens before year end
With 15mins to go before US market opens for Thursday, all composite futures indexes are wiping out the meagre gains made the day before. This dip rubs off on GOOG as well as the tech giant is set to fall by -0.44%, when trading commences soon. (see attached)
On Wednesday, US market managed to take a breather and recovered marginally. This has a rub off effect on GOOG as well. The stock rose by +0.12%, closing off Wednesday at $341.70 per share. Is Druckenmiller and Berkshire Hathaway right about GOOG ?
Replying to @Xiia:Hi, thanks for reading my post and sharing your views. While I concur with what you have said, MU's stock price has soared beyond its supposed baseline intrinsic value that is closer to $588, according to analysts' consensus. Will it be up to market to decide MU's fate ? I dunno, its a pretty close call.//@Xiia:I don't think MU's uptrend is done yet. HBM supply is still the real constraint, and NVDA tweaking memory configs doesn't suddenly fix industry capacity
