      Weekly Buzz
      Friday marks the end of the first month of the new year, and so far, it has been volatile for big and small stocks. Trump said Friday he would implement 20-30% tariffs on allies and enemies starting in February, let's see if Saturday brings the news.
      For the month, the S&P 500 climbed 2.70%, the Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 1.64%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 4.70%.
      What a week it was to end the first month. The week started with a dark day for AI and Semiconductor stocks.  Stocks like   $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ have climbed in the past year on the growing hype that big industry would shell out billions for competingly larger and larger data centers. Even last week, Trump announced multiple public and private companies would focus on reaching $500 billion in AI investment in the U.S.
      Monday, traders woke up to the reality that models might not need high input prices. Nvidia lost $589 billion in market value; the Nasdaq fell 3%. It all came from one small app that made big waves.
      As it turned out, DeepSeek, a privately funded startup-sized app from China, reached the top of U.S. App Stores, and on Monday, the market noticed and fell on the idea that maybe it would not take billions of dollars and millions of high-priced chips to train next-gen AI models.
      In trending industry lists on moomoo, Semiconductors, Data Centers, Nvidia, and Apple Ecosystem stocks were collapsing, as names like   $Marvell Technology (MRVL.US)$ fell 19%,   $Broadcom (AVGO.US)$ fell 16%.
      Though DeepSeek has published Github reports that its model worked just below the standards of OpenAIs o1 model, industry and investors were not sure if that was true or if it meant there would be less demand for Nvidia or TSMC chips.
      Speaking with CNBC on Monday, a Nvidia spokesperson said, “Inference requires significant numbers of NVIDIA GPUs and high-performance networking,” the spokesperson added. “We now have three scaling laws: pre-training and post-training, which continue, and new test-time scaling.”
      The DeepSeek firm's 'Open-Source' Github claims that its GSM8K results, a test of eight-and-a-half-thousand grade school math problems, came in higher than other industry leaders and below Claude 2 and Open AI's Chat GPT-4. The idea that investors are selling, according to Bloomberg, is that even if DeepSeeks' claim to fame is half as effective as it claims, it points a big overvalued figure at the magnificent seven and the semiconductor tech firms below them. DeepSeek said it only spent $5.6 million developing the model, and though Nvidia claimed that the model was developed using its high-tech chips, the market still did not price in any gains for Nvidia.
      Weekly Buzz: Holy Moly, What a Week for News
      Wednesday, the Federal Open Market Committee left the target Federal Funds rate unchanged a target of 4.25%-4.5%, citing the low unemployment rate and solid labor market conditions. Voting unanimously, the FOMC members left comments on the progress to their 2% inflation target in the latest statement, as they acknowledged that consumer prices "remain somewhat elevated."
      "In considering the extent and timing of additional adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks," the policymakers said.
      During a press conference, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said that monetary policymakers will continue to do their work, as he steered clear of political intrigues when asked about President Donald Trump's call for the central bank to cut interest rates.
      For the remainder of the week, eyes watched major tech earnings. Most came in above estimates, but each had one or two segments that missed very high expectations.
      Anyway, let's dive into the buzzing stocks this week:  
      1. $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$  - Buzzing Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
      Nvidia fell the most in one day in the firm's history on Monday, though tech earnings helped push the stock higher as the week went on. The stock is a little over its crater point Friday, with weeks to go before it reports earnings. The hope is that even if AI models are cheap to train, they all still need to run on Nvidia chips, and Microsoft and OpenAI are sifting through DeepSeeks data to find if they 'trained' their model by running requests on OpenAi's models.

      @Tan Sri Troy Bolton: Love to see the banter between bears and bulls🤣🤣
      2. $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ Buzzing Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
      Tesla shares climbed 5% overnight Wednesday after the carmaker said it missed nearly every expectation on major segment revenues and earnings. Still, the firm claimed it had a great year ahead of it. Chief Musk, from his perch next to President Trump, said his company could be worth more than the other top five valuation companies combined and that one product could reach hundreds of billions in profit. JPMorgan analysts released a note stating there was no indication the stock movement overnight or the price of Tesla has anything to do with reality.
      Weekly Buzz: Holy Moly, What a Week for News
      "The move higher in Tesla shares bore no relation whatsoever to the company's financial performance in the quarter just completed or to its outlook for growth in the coming year," analyst Ryan Brinkman wrote.
      @151494098: wait until weekend of tariffs effects, check on premarket monday , it could be 🤢
      3. $Meta Platforms (META.US)$  - Buzzing Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

      The company said revenue for the three months that ended December rose 21% to $48.39 billion, beating estimates that called for $46.98 billion.

      867-5309 $Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$ wouldn't people and countries be able to avoid tariffs by paying with Bitcoin?
      5. $Apple (AAPL.US)$ - Buzzing Stars: ⭐⭐⭐
      $Apple (AAPL.US)$ reported Q1 2025 earnings of $2.40 share, vs estimates of $2.35/share, on revenue of $124.30 billion vs estimates of $124.10 billion. The stock climbed right after release, but will shares climb overnight and at open Friday? The firm said sales in China were much softer than analysts had thought: 14% lower, at just $18.41 billion compared to estimates above $21 billion.

      • ZnWC : Thanks for the event [Worship]

        Alphabet:
        EPS consensus $2.12 per share, 29.27% year-over-year growth.
        Revenues consensus $81.38 billion, 12.52% year-ago quarter.

        Amazon:
        EPS consensus $1.52 per share year-over-year change of +50.5%.
        Revenues consensus $187.28 billion, up 10.2% from the year-ago quarter.

        Like Tesla and Microsoft, the price movement may not be consistent with the earnings. Despite the earnings of Alphabet and Amazon beat estimate, it may not be reflected on the share price.

        The determining factors are still macroeconomics and geopolitical in the short term. Trump's new policy on AI chip restriction and further tariff announcement on China may affect the tech stocks movement in the coming week.

      • Lnova : [Shocked]

      • Silverbat : Looking up!

      • 70580865 : Thanks for the quote, and nice article.

        Allow me to finish then quote and give some context: I said that if you like an asset, just buy it, don’t buy options. I heard Michael Saylor say it about his Apple investment in options, and I wholeheartedly agree.

        A bit more about LAES: The product is cyber for quantum computers. If you can find any competitors, let me know. LAES is piling us successes, deals, and hype. In a couple of weeks, they’ll ring the NASDAQ bell.

        The week was full of great news for LAES, on a daily basis. As a result, people bought the 3.5 calls which expire today like crazy. This, in turn, caused a market maker to interfere and push the stock price down, so that calls finish OTM. This also allowed for cheaper covering - CTB is almost 40% so they looked for a way out - but more shorts just substituted them. So effectively, the same situation as this week just rolls over to next week.

        So yes, there is an interesting opportunity here, but if you want to come in, choose stocks, not options; otherwise, you’ll probably lose both. I suggest the following rule of thumb: Options are for insiders or Nancy Pelosi.

      • Jaguar8 : Tariffs function as a tax on imports, effectively raising the price of foreign goods in the domestic market. Who ultimately bears the cost—producers or consumers—depends on the price elasticity of demand and supply. When demand for the imported good is inelastic, consumers absorb most of the cost through higher prices since their purchasing behavior remains relatively unchanged. On the other hand, if demand is elastic, foreign producers may have to lower their prices to stay competitive, cutting into their profit margins.
        Beyond direct price effects, tariffs create inefficiencies by distorting market equilibrium, leading to reduced consumer surplus and misallocation of resources. Over time, domestic firms, shielded from foreign competition, may also increase prices, contributing to inflationary pressures. While governments gain short-term revenue from tariffs, prolonged protectionism can trigger retaliatory trade measures, disrupt global supply chains, and ultimately slow economic growth.
        So the answer if tariffs will be a pain will depend on the good’s price elasticity of supply and demand.

      • LittleSoldier : Now dont get me Wrong i hate shorters, but if i had to guess Monday would be a shorters Dream Scenario!

      • clevertrader87 : that was a nice read! as the same goes for the comments.  👍 thanks guys for the insites

      • Dart Board Picks : North American markets are integrated to everyone's benefit.  Saying one country is taking advantage of another in nieve at a presidential level.  US needs Canadian heavy oil to refine and get the diesel and aviation fuels needed for the economy.  Sure the US has a lot of oil production but the majority is not suited for refining into heavier fuels like diesel.  The one thing for sure is any tariffs placed on imports will hurt the middle class both in higher inflation and job instability. 
        One reason North America has been so prosperous over the last few decades has been a result of free trade and cheep energy....tariffs change all of that foe all of us.

      • HuatLady : As a long-term investor, I don't let short-term market swings distract me, instead I focus on the bigger picture and the overall growth potential of those tech giants. $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ continues to innovate and expand its reach in e-commerce and cloud computing, solidifying its position as a market leader. Meanwhile $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$ remains dominant in digital advertising and is making impressive strides in AI and cloud services. I believe their strategic involvements will fuel steady growth overtime. While temporary setbacks in certain areas are inevitable,they don't change the long-term strength and potential of their core businesses. [Smile][Strong][Thumbs Up]

      • HuatEver : While tech giants like Goggle and Amazon are undeniably impressive due to their technological advancements and widespread popularity, I don’t rely solely on their market positions. While they play a significant role in the financial landscape, I believe diversifying beyond these major tech stocks is essential for well-rounded investment strategy.
        Several alternative investments have the potential to perform well. Government bonds offer a relatively low-risk option, providing regular interest payments and the return of principal upon maturity. Additionally, established dividend-paying stocks can serve as a steady source of income, allowing me to lavish on my beauty sleep. Sectors like healthcare and utilities are particularly strong choices, as they tend to be more resilient in various market conditions while consistently paying dividends. [Joyful][Wow][Awesome]
