AI is a broad field that encompasses many different disciplines, including computer science, data analytics and statistics, hardware and software engineering, linguistics, neuroscience, and even philosophy and psychology. AI is the hottest investment theme in 2024 without doubt. Let's dive into a few AI hot stocks in the market today.  PLTR Palantir is certainly an AI stock to watch, with its impressive growth and strategic moves, but it's not all smooth sailing. The company's ability to deliver consistent growth, and meet or exceed investors' lofty expectations, will be crucial in justifying its high valuation. Its late summer earnings report will be a key moment to see if the company can keep up its momentum, especially if any guidance updates are offered.  PLTR daily chart Fo

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$   The $SPY is up 19 of the last 25 trading days. 3 of those red days were essentially flat-ish days.

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$   Given that the anticipated "Sell in May" trend did not materialize, here are some key factors to consider for June: 1. Economic Data Releases: Pay attention to upcoming economic indicators such as employment reports, inflation data, and consumer confidence indices. Positive data can drive market optimism, while negative data can cause volatility. 2. Federal Reserve Policy: Any updates or hints about monetary policy changes from the Federal Reserve, especially regarding interest rates, can significantly impact market sentiment. 3. Corporate Earnings: While the bulk of earnings reports are behind us, any significant updates or guidance revisions from major companies can influence market movements. 4. Geopolitical Events:

Suppose you hand me a gun with 1,000 or 1 million magazines, and only one of them has a bullet. You say, "Point the gun at your temple and pull the trigger. How much do you want?" I won't do it. No matter how much money you give me, I won't do it. If I win, I don't need the money; if I lose, the result is obvious. I don't want to do such a thing at all, but in the financial field, people often do such things without thinking.

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  The US Economy Now Has: 1. 63 banks on the brink of default according to the FDIC 2. Over $500 BILLION of paper losses held by banks 3. Declining GDP growth with rising inflation 4. Over 50% of Americans believe we are in a recession 5. Lowest mortgage demand in over 30 years 6. A record $17.7 trillion in total household debt How is this a "soft landing?" The disconnect between economic data and consumer sentiment is simply huge. Most of the data suggests things are "fine" while consumers are struggling. This is far from an indication of a healthy economy.

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$   BofA: BAD News Becomes BAD News for Stocks Over the past 2 months, the S&P 500 and USD have shown a negative 78% correlation, suggesting bad economic data has often benefited stocks. However, BofA warns this could change if growth weakens further. BofA: “We believe the goldilocks range for NFP is +125-175K, which would maintain the unemployment rate largely unchanged assuming labor supply growth remains at or above today’s level.” 'Sub-125K gains in NFP could trigger the Sahm Rule, reviving recession fears in the market.' However, BofA believes stronger growth, as long as inflation remains in check, would also be positive for stocks

May surprised everyone – instead of the anticipated sell-off, the market rallied, with the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ up 4%. As a Bitcoin investor, this is a welcome change, and I'm excited about the possibilities for June. Here's my take on the current situation and potential opportunities. Bitcoin Daily Chart Looking at the Bitcoin chart, I see a bullish pennant forming within a larger consolidation range which looks to me like a bullish flag. This technical indicator often precedes a price surge, and I believe a breakout to the upside could be on the horizon. However, a word of caution: false breakouts can occur. A stop-loss order is crucial to manage risk in case this happens. Overall, the chart analysis leans bullish, and I'm holding onto my Bitcoin

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  BREAKING: Unrealized losses on investment securities for banks jumped to $517 BILLION in Q1 2024. This is $39 billion higher than the $478 billion recorded in Q4 2023. The surge was driven by higher residential mortgage-backed securities losses held by banks due to rising mortgage rates. Q1 2024 also marked the 10th consecutive quarter of unrealized losses, an even longer streak than during the 2008 Financial Crisis. As “higher for longer” returns, unrealized losses are likely to continue rising. Did the banking crisis ever really end? The FDIC has also identified 63 banks that are on the brink of collapse. 2 months ago, the Fed’s emergency lending program for banks expired. Many regional banks never truly recovered fro

With these resorts accounting for 1% to 2% of Singapore's GDP and doubling tourist arrivals to 19.1 million by 2019, the new government's plans to further develop these resorts could enhance Singapore's tourism sector.

June: A Time for Focused Attention in the Market As we close out May, the second quarter draws to a conclusion, and a crucial earnings season approaches. This period presents a unique opportunity for investors to refine their strategies and position their portfolios for the coming months.
