@Shyon:My stock in focus today is crypto-themed stocks $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ $Bullish(BLSH)$ , as Bitcoin and Ethereum rebounded strongly, lifting overall market sentiment. Bitcoin climbed back toward the $95,000 level while Ethereum moved above $3,300, signaling renewed risk appetite after a period of consolidation. On the regulatory front, momentum is building in Washington. The U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee is set to release its crypto market structure bill on Jan. 21, with a key markup hearing on Jan. 27, while the Senate Banking Committee is advancing its own version. This signals progress toward clearer rules for the crypto industry. Following the news, crypto-related stocks moved higher acr

@Shyon:My stock in focus today is $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ , following news that Apple will partner with Google to integrate Gemini into the next generation of Siri. This move is a strong endorsement of Google’s AI leadership. It also reinforces the view that Gemini is becoming an industry-grade AI platform, not just an in-house tool. Strategically, the partnership positions Google as a key AI enabler even for rival ecosystems. If Siri is rebuilt around Gemini across on-device, private cloud, and external models, it highlights Gemini’s scalability and commercial readiness. As Wedbush’s Dan Ives noted, this was a “necessary move” for Apple—and a clear win for Google’s AI credibility. From an investment perspective, this strengthens Alphabet’s long-term AI mon

This is not regulatory risk. This is Beijing forcing platform discipline so margins can expand instead of being destroyed by endless subsidies. 🇨🇳 China subsidises EV exports to dominate globally. 🇨🇳 China does not subsidise consumer platforms that burn cash for no strategic return. This move protects long-term earnings power across China tech. 📈 $BABA now trad

@koolgal:DBS and OCBC at the Summit: Triumph or a Ticking Clock? 🌟🌟🌟There is nothing quite like the feeling of joy on January 6 to see that both my investments in $DBS(D05.SI)$  and $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$  hitting intoxicating all time highs.  But standing at the summit can be a lonely experience.  It sparks a raw emotional dilemma: Do I keep riding this wave of triumph or do I lock in these gains before the clouds roll in? The Dilemma: Adding on Strength or Locking in Profits? This isn't just about numbers.  It is a test of nerve. The Case for Adding on Strength:  Heavyweights like JPMorgan are bullish on DBS and OCBC.&nb

@Barcode:$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  $NVIDIA(NVDA)$  🔥📊 2026 Options Expiration Calendar Released: Reshaping My Volatility and Dealer Flow Strategies for the Year 📊🔥 I am framing 2026 through options structure, not headlines, and the newly released OIC expiration calendar just gave me the blueprint for where volatility, liquidity and forced dealer flows are going to collide next year. This is not a novelty. This is the roadmap of the derivatives market. Every major dislocation in modern markets, the 2018 vol spike, the 2020 crash, the 2022 bear legs, and the AI driven squeezes of 2023 and 2024, accelerated around options expi

@koolgal:🌟🌟🌟The standout trade of the week has to go to $Micron Technology(MU)$ which demonstrated a "Fast & Furious" rally fueled by a structural AI narrative , only to be followed by significant volatility. Micron began the week around USD 294 and surged to an all time high of USD 346.30 on January 7, a  jump of over 17% in just 2 days of trading.  This was driven by Nvidia's CES 2026 announcement and analyst upgrades based on projected price hikes of 60-70% for HBM chips, with Piper Sandler setting price targets as high as USD400. However Micron experienced a sharp reversal and fell to USD 327.02 by market close on January 8.  This is a good example of the high risk, high reward nature of chasing growth at these levels.

@koolgal:🌟🌟🌟I invest in $PropNex(OYY.SI)$ because it is well positioned at the heart of a market where demand is structurally supported due to growing population, supply is permanently constrained and transactions continue regardless of economic cycles.  In Singapore, a country where property is both a necessity and a national obsession, PropNex is built to thrive.   As the largest real estate agency in Singapore, PropNex has scalability, is well managed and has a rock solid balance sheet with zero debt. With a nice juicy dividend yield of 5%, plus capital appreciation, PropNex is the kind of stock that I buy and keep long term. Go Long Go Strong Go PropNex!  🚀🚀🚀🌛🌛🌛🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰 @

@Shyon:I see this market cap flip between Google and Apple as more than just a one-day headline, but I don't think it's a definitive regime change yet either. Alphabet overtaking Apple reflects how strongly investors are currently rewarding visible AI execution, especially when it's already translating into product upgrades, monetization pathways, and cloud demand. In contrast, Apple's AI story still feels more implied than proven, which matters in a market that's laser-focused on near-term AI winners. What stands out to me is how aggressively Alphabet $Alphabet(GOOGL)$  has embedded AI across its ecosystem. Search, YouTube, Workspace, and Google Cloud are all being reshaped with generative AI at the core, and managem
