$Microsoft(MSFT)$  This article argues why Microsoft Corporation stock is a buy after the release of its fiscal 2025 third quarter earnings report. The key takeaways are: Microsoft's FQ3 2025 earnings report shows a strong Rule of 40 score of ~52, driven by 15% growth and a ~37% net profit margin. I see good reasons for the score to further improve as its cloud segment grows at a rapid pace. I expect this segment to become its largest profit contributor in the near future and carry higher margins. In terms of valuation risks, benchmarking MSFT’s P/E ratio by the sector average is misleading because most companies in the sector do not pass the rule of 40. MSFT FQ3: rule of 40 score is 52 Microsoft Corporation stock’s latest earnings report (ER

$Apple(AAPL)$ #Apple About a week ago, I argued why $200 is a great entry point for AAPL stock, $Apple(AAPL)$. The prices have gone up a bit by now, but still attractive. Interest readers can take a look of my original analysis below. APPLE STOCK is about to release its fiscal year second quarter earnings report for 2025 in less than a week. It is scheduled on May 1, 2025. The company – together with the overall investing landscape – is experiencing material uncertainties. Here, I will divide these uncertainties into two buckets and analyze their impacts on the stock. The first bucket includes changes that can impact APPLE STOCK’s specific operations, particularly the potential changes in tariff rates that can impact APPLE STOCK profitability metrics. The second bucket will include changes

$ProShares UltraPro QQQ(TQQQ)$ In this article, I will show you a way to use leverage to generate extra return, or alpha, to beat the market and  make extra money.  The key of this method are two fold. First, the leverage is adjusted dynamically. That is, we will apply different levels of leverage under different market conditions to maximize our return. The second key is that the method will help us to stay disciplined. Discipline is absolutely crucial for the use of leverage in the long run. As a result, the method will help us generate consistent extra return on our money. The dynamic adjustment is based on volatility, which is relatively easier to predict than stock market returns. We will use the so-call VIX index, t

$Apple(AAPL)$ APPLE STOCK is about to release its fiscal year second quarter earnings report for 2025 in less than a week. It is scheduled on May 1, 2025. The company – together with the overall investing landscape – is experiencing material uncertainties. Here, I will divide these uncertainties into two buckets and analyze their impacts on the stock. The first bucket includes changes that can impact APPLE STOCK’s specific operations, particularly the potential changes in tariff rates that can impact APPLE STOCK profitability metrics. The second bucket will include changes that are more macroeconomic and impact the risk premium of APPLE STOCK shares.

$Procter & Gamble(PG)$ PG’s FQ3 2025 earnings report shows declines in key segments. I believe such earning pressure largely came from headwinds from trade disputes and persisting inflation. I further expect these headwinds to continue and continue confine PG stocks to be range bound. Recent trading patterns provide further indictors for continued consolidation. Let me start with the fundamentals the company just updated in its 3rd fiscal quarter ER, released on April 24 before the market opened. Overall, the results reflected ongoing headwinds in my view, largely due to softened/softening consumer demand amid uncertainties caused by the trade and tariff disputes. The company suffered Q/Q declines in all its key segments as you c

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY) Take profit as tariff pause triggers SP500 rally I see little odds for the U.S. and China to address their fundamental conflicts of interests in 90 days for many reasons. For example, I feel the electronics supply chain and also trade of rare earth elements are  viewed by both countries as an issue of national security. Both countries have been trying to resolve these issues for years and have not found a sustainable solution yet. I see little chance for a fundamental solution to emerge in the next 90 days. In addition, leaders on both sides also need to consider the prevailing sentiment in their own country. As Warren Buffett explained to an 11-years boy in this following video, tariff is not only an econom
