$Astera Labs (ALAB.US)$
This year's Semiconductors are probably the top gainer. It will attract attention once the 2024 financial estimates are released. The Candlestick chart on a weekly basis continues to rise at a steep angle without any adjustments.
The current growth of Loves and self-assets is almost the same. Bought more than 30 times near the bottom after catching the high, riding the upward trend. Financial Estimates are expected to reach $37 to $500 in a few years, split and further growth. Loves is something special.

$Direxion Daily 20+ Year Treasury Bear 3x Shares ETF (TMV.US)$ Yesterday, it touched 40 and was about to hit a year-to-date high, but suddenly the 30-year bonds saw a mysterious buying which led to a sharp decline in interest rates.Last week, with a large short selling position of over 20 million shares in TLT, I was expecting a buyback sometime before the end of the year, which happened yesterday.I think the selling of government bonds in the first half was mainly done by individuals to secure cash positions before Christmas. I speculate that when interest rates rose and selling peaked, funds bought back government bonds and TLT. It was probably a temporary situation, so it was good to sell below 40 at the beginning of the year.Now, as for the main topic, while bullish leveraged funds have high expectations for upward trends, bearish products anticipating a decline are more minor, and there seems to be some resistance. Personally, I also feel some reluctance to go against the grain, with a strong sense of contrarianism, initially facing resistance. This TMV is a 3x bear based on TLT targeting 30-year bonds, so it falls by 3 times the percentage increase of TLT when interest rates drop. In other words, TLT rises when interest rates decrease, indicating a recession. Interest rate increase means the economy is improving with inflation tendencies...
