Some people say the GTA hype is baked into the price already but if you look at the charts that doesn’t seem to be the case. It was at $250 in August and now we’re closer to the release. The analysts average price target is around $300. I think investors have just been focused on AI stocks and the hype has not set in yet. I think the stock will easily go up at least 30% by December.
Just bought all three today — UEC, AMPX, and LUMN — sitting at or near one-year lows. Here's why: $UEC Uranium. AI data centers are about to need absurd amounts of power, and nuclear is the only serious answer. Buying the fuel at the bottom feels right. $AMPX Next-gen batteries — silicon anode tech with way more energy density than standard lithium. Data centers, drones, EVs... everything electric needs better batteries. $LUMN The fiber backbone. All this AI traffic has to move through somebody's network, and Lumen is sitting there at a discount. Three different angles on the same bet: the AI buildout needs power and pipes ⚡ How you feel about these?read more
When I look at the AI infrastructure opportunity, Broadcom is becoming one of the companies I find hardest to ignore. My thesis isn’t simply that AI spending will continue. It’s that Broadcom is already showing that this spending is translating into real revenue, earnings and cash flow. In its latest quarter, Broadcom reported $29.6 billion in revenue, up 86% year over year. More importantly, AI semiconductor revenue reached $16.7 billion, growing 221% YoY, driven by custom AI accelerators and networking. Free cash flow was also an impressive $13.7 billion. (Broadcom Inc.) That matters to me because Broadcom isn’t relying on one part of the AI boom. It provides the custom accelerators and high-speed networking infrastructure required to build increasingly large AI clusters. And the opportunity appears to be expanding. Broadcom has become deeply involved with frontier AI companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic. Its relationship with Anthropic now extends beyond supplying technology: Broadcom has agreed to provide up to $42 billion of financing to support Anthropic’s infrastructure requirements. (Reuters) There are also reports that Broadcom is seeking more than $50 billion in financing related to custom AI chips being developed with OpenAI. (The Wall Street Journal) For me, these developments strengthen the long-term thesis: Broadcom isn’t simply trying to capture today’s AI spending. It is positioning its technology inside the infrastructure that some of the world’s largest AI companies could be using for years. There are risks. AI infrastructure spending is becoming extremely capital intensive, customer concentration matters, and these financing arrangements add another layer of exposure if AI companies fail to generate sufficient returns. That’s why the next few earnings reports matter. I’ll be watching whether AI revenue keeps growing, margins remain strong, free cash flow follows revenue growth, and OpenAI/Anthropic commitments turn into profitable long-term demand. If those fundamentals continue to hold, I think Broadcom deserves to be considered one of the strongest picks-and-shovels plays in the AI infrastructure buildout. Not financial advice. This is simply my investment thesis and what I’m watching as an investor.read more
getting rid of all my $SNDK$MU$DRAM before this amazing market bungee jump. glad I took the 10k gain and walked away. CXMT soon will influence the memory market. I kept posting about their improving tech and capacity months ago and people just laughed 🤣 mu sndk wdc stx skhynix samsung arent the only the big leagues anymore.
Lots of relative strength today in $META$MSFT$GOOGL $META winding up for a move to 800 🚀 Chip and memory stocks getting beat up today... The nasdaq also lots of relative weakness... Risk off for now until we see CPI data.
$SPX volatile action overnight, moving back lower on Iran and memory stocks selling off on reports of a Chinese competitor CXMT.. If SPX gives up 7800 today , let it drop for now.. Price action can look slightly more bearish under 7800. $QQQ needs to defend 748 otherwise 740-742 can come next. $META up 10 premarket, META Is winding up for a move ot 800 in November. Dips should get bought up the next few weeks. Calls can work above 725. $PLTR to 250 can come by November if holds the 207 level. Calls can work above 207 for PLTR this week. We have bank earnings tmrw premarket then CPI data on Wednesday. I'd be more cautious as we approach Wednesday morning. Protect capital for now. Good luck everyone!! 🫡
📊 The market is kinda mixed right now. Tech stocks are taking a hit, oil prices are going up, and investors are waiting for bank earnings and inflation data. The next few weeks could get interesting. Just stay patient, do your research, and don’t panic over every market move. 📈
I am still very bullish on $SNDK. I know it has gone up a lot—over the last year, the stock is up by 1,000%—but I still see a lot of room to grow. Let me tell you though, $SNDK is one of the swingiest, most volatile stocks I own. I don't mind the ups and downs because I’ve been using SanDisk products since I was a kid, and the company has very strong financial fundamentals. That is why I keep buying $SNDK almost every single week. - The company has seen massive jumps in revenue and record demand for its data storage products. - Even with the big price swings, it trades at a fair valuation (around a 20x forward P/E ratio), meaning its growth is backed by real earnings. - With a massive market cap of over $215 billion, it is a dominant player in hardware. How do you usually handle high-volatility stocks in your portfolio? Are you buying the dips, or taking profits?read more
There's another big deviation between $SPX and $QQQ this morning. The Nasdaq- $QQQ is down 5.5 points while $SPX is almost flat. We're seeing more weakness in AI/Memory stocks while $AAPL$GOOGL$MSFT$GS are higher. There's a clear rotation for now so be careful buying the dip on Chip/AI/Memory until we see a bottom actually form. CPI data is coming out premarket tmrw. This will help determine if we get another rate hike at the end of the month so most likely we see another consolidation day today. $MSFT to 550 in play, $AAPL to 350 can come as well. $META 750 has been a tough level to break out above lets see if it can get through this week. The only way $QQQ looks better if it it moves red to green today and reclaims 748 by Friday. Don't overtrade today. The real move comes by Thursday. Good luck everyone!! 🫡
October 12, 2026 | Pre-Market Itron $ITRI is a roughly $3.75B grid technology company operating across smart meters, utility software, grid analytics, AI-enabled infrastructure, and cybersecurity. The setup is simple: Hardware revenue is down, but recurring revenue and margins are improving. QUICK HITS • Q2 Revenue: $563M, down 7% YoY • ARR: $417M, up 21% • Adjusted Gross Margin: 41.4% • Adjusted EBITDA: $97M, up 8% • Free Cash Flow: $81M • Backlog: $4.4B • FY2026 Adjusted EPS Guide: $6.30 to $6.50 • Valuation: ~13.4x guided adjusted EPS THE THESIS AI data centers, EVs, industrial electrification, distributed energy, and aging infrastructure are making the grid more complex. Utilities need more: • Visibility • Automation • Smart metering • Demand forecasting • Outage detection • Cybersecurity Itron already operates across those layers. The long-term opportunity is moving from hardware-heavy revenue toward more software, analytics, and recurring services. WHAT I LIKE • ARR +21% • Gross margin above 40% • Strong free cash flow • $4.4B backlog • Grid modernization exposure • Reasonable valuation WHAT I AM WATCHING • Continued revenue weakness • Acquisition integration • Net debt • Software growth quality • Utility spending delays MY VIEW $ITRI is interesting because the valuation is far less demanding than many AI infrastructure names. The key question is whether recurring software growth can eventually offset hardware cyclicality and return the company to sustained top-line growth. Next major checkpoint: October 27 earnings. My core metrics: ARR Growth Gross Margin Free Cash Flow Net Debt Backlog Conversion The grid opportunity is real. The software transition is promising. Execution still decides the thesis.

Nvidia is already a huge position in my portfolio, and it’s the stock I have the most confidence in long term. I personally see this dip as a big buying opportunity. Its role in AI, along with the revenue and profit growth behind the business, gives me confidence that there’s still room for growth. At this price, I think it’s a substantial discount to what the company could be worth in the future. That’s my outlook, not a guarantee—it can still fall further, and competition and AI spending are worth watching. But I’m investing with a long-term mindset, and Nvidia remains my highest-conviction holding.
