$Tesla (TSLA.US)$, QuantumScape and Lam Research are among the stock options attracting the heaviest trading volume so far after the three companies reported earnings that beat analysts' estimates.
The stellar among them was Tesla after the electric vehicle maker's earnings blew past estimates by almost 21%. The $38 gain in the stock price Thursday revived the value of many call options that just yesterday traded well...

What happens later? The September jobs report, expected later today, will provide a clearer view of the U.S. labor market and is likely to be a key driver for markets, even amid geopolitical tensions and rising oil prices.
Unemployment down-> More Jobs-> reflecting economic resilience rather than high inflation. With the unemployment rate slowly increasing, solid job growth would suggest the economy is avoiding a recession. $CBOE Volatility S&P 500 Index (.VIX.US)$ $ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (UVXY.US)$ may shoot...

$Tesla (TSLA.US)$ 🚗 Vrooming high with delivery report due, keep an 👁️ on that, it will drive & carry $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ higher tonight! Saw the breakout there?
Powell uncle spoke last night and led to some volatility in that 1 hour 😮 The anxiety came when he mentioned “said on Monday that the central bank is “not on any preset course” when it comes to the next steps for rate policy. He said to expect two more cuts this year — that is, a quarter percent...

TLDR - tried a thing, did not work 😢
Context: Moomoo’s Papertrading ends 3 Oct, which meant I had to maintain 1st place for 4 more days (at start of Fri).
Logic: I observed the leaderboard & fluctuation patterns, noting the table toppers were mostly long China.
However on Tue, we had a sizeable correction (5-8%) post-Mon rush (which in fact, caused much grief in our competitors’ Whatsapp chat 😂)
Action: With my slim 2% lead, I unloaded all positions & my i...

Although the market showed a muted response that day, on Thursday, with the US initial jobless claims data reinforcing expectations of an economic soft landing, the market confidently began to revel in the rate cut, with the $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$hitting its 39th new high of the year and closing above 57...

More and more friends around me are buying $Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ.US)$. A friend has always lamented that they should have bought it sooner, not counting dividends. The coupon price alone has gone up quite a bit, and they don't know what the heck it would be to buy a-shares.
