— According to National Bank, Canada's inflation rate rose to 3.1% in September, but the inflation measures most closely watched by the Bank of Canada (BOC) fell to 1.9%, their lowest average since 2020. While higher energy prices drove up headline inflation, prompting the BOC's rate hikes, underlying inflation actually appears to be cooling. That said, some would argue the BOC can't ignore rising energy costs if they eventually spill over into other prices across the economy. For investors, lower rate pressure is generally positive for interest-rate-sensitive investments such as Canadian banks, utilities, REITs, and broad market ETFs like $VDY, $XIU, $ZEB, and $XRE. What do you think? Have rates peaked, or is there still a risk they move higher? — This is for informational and educational purposes only. read more
AMD reports tonight after the close, and the bar is honestly ridiculous. Wall Street wants $1.95 a share on $13.1B in revenue, up 62% and 42% from a year ago. Data Center alone is supposed to hit $8.19B, up 88%. And the stock just got smoked anyway, down to $466.84 on Monday in the chip selloff. Options are pricing about a 9% move either way tonight. I am not pretending this is some huge position for me, it is a small one. But this is the print I am watching tonight, because a beat might not even be enough. If the guide is soft, this thing drops anyway. Does a beat even matter here, or is the guide the whole trade? Where do you stand?
SO, I added more $AMD before tonight's report. It got crushed almost 11% Friday and I think the fear is overdone. Long-term buy & hold for me. Anyone else buying before the close?
Wall Street changed its mind on four names today. Upgrades and fresh coverage are one of the fastest sentiment shifts you can track, and they landed across cloud, clean power, audio and robotaxis. Here are 4 worth researching. 👇 📌 The Watchlist 1. Cloudflare | $NET: Runs a global cloud network that speeds up and protects websites and apps. JPMorgan upgraded it to Overweight from Neutral today, keeping a $350 price target, after a 26% drop in 30 days made the valuation more attractive. 2. Bloom Energy | $BE: Makes solid oxide fuel cells that generate power on site. Barclays upgraded it to Overweight from Equal Weight with a $289 target today, and Bloom announced a plan with California Resources to evaluate at least 1 GW of fuel cell power paired with carbon capture in California. 3. SiriusXM | $SIRI: Runs satellite radio plus streaming audio and podcasts. Goldman Sachs upgraded it to Buy from Neutral with a $37 target, citing its spectrum holdings and a growing YouTube advertising partnership. 4. Pony AI | $PONY: Builds robotaxi services in China and beyond. Morgan Stanley started coverage at Overweight today, pointing to robotaxi expansion as the growth driver. 📌 The Part Worth Saving An analyst upgrade is a reason to research a stock. It is not a reason to buy blindly. Look for: - Whether the upgrade follows a real business change, not just a price drop - Whether the target price still leaves room after today's move - Whether revenue and cash flow support the thesis - Whether the call is an outlier or part of a wider shift in coverage The best question: Which of these four upgrades is backed by the strongest business change, and which is just a valuation call after a fall?

This morning showed why a good quarter is not always enough. One company grew revenue 32% and still fell hard. Another grew 26% and jumped about a third. Here are 4 worth researching. 👇 📌 The Watchlist 1. Shopify | $SHOP: E-commerce platform that helps merchants run online stores and take payments. Q3 revenue rose 32% to $3.74 billion, but it was the first revenue miss since 2022, with GMV of $119.15 billion and subscription revenue of $836 million both below estimates, while adjusted EPS of $0.49 beat and free cash flow reached $816 million. 2. Backblaze | $BLZE: Cloud storage provider whose B2 service stores data for AI builders and app companies. Q3 revenue rose 26% to $46.7 million, B2 revenue jumped 47% to $30.5 million, it raised full year guidance to $177.8 million to $178.2 million, and it holds a multi-year CoreWeave agreement worth about $335.1 million in total contract value. 3. Dynatrace | $DT: Software observability platform that monitors apps and AI systems for performance problems. Fiscal Q2 revenue rose 17% to $579.9 million and adjusted EPS of $0.54 beat estimates, but it cut full year adjusted EPS guidance to $1.88 to $1.90 and the stock fell about 15% in premarket trading. 4. Ferrari | $RACE: Luxury sports car maker. Q3 revenue rose 7% to 1.896 billion euros, net profit reached 431 million euros, it raised 2026 revenue guidance to 7.65 billion euros, and its order book now reaches into 2028. 📌 The Part Worth Saving A beat or a miss on one line is a reason to research a stock. It is not a reason to buy blindly. Look for: - Which line actually missed or beat: revenue, margins, or guidance - Whether guidance went up or down with the result - Whether the reaction is about the quarter or the outlook - Whether growth is still strong even after a selloff The best question: When a stock falls on a growing quarter, do you check the guidance first or the headline first?

Remaining inside this nearly quarter-old M-top (see the 1st chart) is, at least, preferable to closing below its neckline like $SPY now has (see the 2nd chart). 😬
Similar to the dotcom bubble era, every single tech stock holders are finally going through the historic AI bubble explosion. Including myself, we'll be remembered as part of the market history for decades and decades as the AI bubble explosion generation. Think of it as a payment for a precious life lesson you don't easily get. This historic drop will take years and years to recover, some won't at all. It is now time to comeback to reality, more and more red to come for rest of the year and going into 2027. We all are now part of the history, so be proud.
Depressed multiples, Mr Market is not doing JD justice… China is is a bear market 📉 , blood is in the streets. If you’re worried about the underlying business, review the balance sheet and income statement, they speak for themselves. Chinese government might throw some curve balls once in a while, but at what point to you think a business of this quality has the worst bearish scenario priced in? I don’t see a dying business, do you?
The idea behind this post was that AI’s next growth phase might extend beyond GPUs and traditional data-centre infrastructure. Two developments caught my attention. 1. Google: The growing demand for AI compute Google’s latest earnings commentary highlighted strong demand for its custom TPU systems. The broader development worth watching is that AI infrastructure demand is expanding beyond GPUs, with CPUs, custom accelerators and networking also becoming important. As AI agents become more capable, the infrastructure required to run them will become increasingly important. This is where Broadcom caught my attention. Broadcom plays a major role in Google’s custom TPU ecosystem, including chip development and networking components. Its long-term agreement with Google extends through 2031. 2. Meta: Personal AI agents could change e-commerce Meta’s introduction of Muse, its personal AI agent, caught my attention for a different reason. Imagine asking your personal AI agent to find a product, compare prices, identify the best deal and help complete the purchase. This could fundamentally change how consumers discover and purchase products online. Shopify is particularly interesting here. Shopify provides the commerce infrastructure connecting merchants, product catalogues and checkout systems. Its integrations with Meta’s Muse ecosystem could help merchants participate in this emerging AI-driven shopping experience. The opportunity isn’t necessarily that Shopify builds the AI agent. It’s that Shopify could provide the infrastructure behind the transactions those agents generate. My takeaway I see two potentially important investment opportunities emerging from these developments: * Broadcom: Exposure to the growing demand for custom AI chips and networking infrastructure. * Shopify: Exposure to the possibility that AI agents become another major distribution channel for e-commerce. AI isn’t just about building bigger models anymore. It’s increasingly about the infrastructure that powers them and the applications that turn them into commercial products. That’s a trend I’m watching closely. Not financial advice. Just my personal research and investment perspective.read more
Still an amazing company. Carefully taking profits and waiting to deploy them across several companies. As they rise whichever is lagging will redeploy companies that surges too quickly.
Will history repeat itself this time? History shows average drop is around -17.50% during the midterm years and later after 12 months, it usually turns positive. Comment what do you think this time it would be amid AI fear? $VFV$QQC$AIQ$VOO
The market still looks fragile despite the sharp drop in oil prices. Lower oil hasn’t translated into a meaningful equity rebound yet. The focus now is on how markets react to the midterm elections and whether selling pressure continues. Key levels being watched: * SPX: 7,500, with 7,400 as a further downside reference. * QQQ: 676 resistance, with 661 as a potential support test. Chip, AI, and memory stocks also need to show stronger price action before confidence improves. A single green session doesn’t confirm a bottom. Patience matters while the market searches for direction. read more
Both names could face downside pressure this month, but direction is far from guaranteed. With market sentiment still fragile, the key will be whether buyers step in or selling pressure builds. I’m watching price action closely before drawing conclusions.
For those following $BE and its buildout, it’s news like today’s that reinforces my fascination with this company. Bloom Energy is becoming so much more than an AI data centre power play. The potential applications beyond AI, particularly in carbon capture, are what I find most intriguing. https://stockevents.app/event/key-drivers/BE/2026-11-03/2026-11-03
Is it safe to say we are on the verge of entering a bear market? If so, how do you feel about ticker SOXS for potential capital gains for a transient trade?
