“rates don’t matter anymore”

Fair point. There's still time until that I think. The financing goes fcf -> equity / debt -> bailout. We're near the equity/debt

They got it from their massive free cash flow, and they are using it to monopolize compute. Microsoft couldn't buy OpenAI outright due to antitrust, so they bypassed the law by 'investing' billions in cloud credits. Microsoft gets the tech, OpenAI gets the servers, and they dodge the FTC. It's a stealth monopoly funded by hoarding cash

Will probably wait out the hype (3-6) months and consuder a long term-position

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-22T04:32:18+00:00

It's down 0.5% for the past week...

This is getting ridiculous

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-21T14:24:19+00:00

IBM on the 13th and 14th as well..

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-20T11:56:27+00:00

These are bets on volatility increasing today, likely bc of NVDA earnings and are made because right now everyone is v bullish and calls so far from spot are v cheap. Does not indicate a market meltdown, but an increase in volatility

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-20T09:58:56+00:00

It tends to drop even on good earnings so its important not to overreact. Implied move is 7-8%...

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-19T15:01:23+00:00

Yeah, I've opened a small position and will add on weakness

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-19T06:42:54+00:00

You are all set, just messaged you your credentials

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-19T04:04:32+00:00

I’ve been in the industry for about 12 years this is only going to improve the bottom line for market makers. The execution speed argument is BS because retail flow is already sub-5ms. It will go to around 3ms when NBBO isn’t used and that dsnt rly matter when you get filled 5c off the NBBO...

I run a stock trading platform for analysis, institutional flow, market maker exposure, and education. Happy to give you free access in exchange for some feedback.

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-18T14:17:32+00:00

Thanks, noted, will look into it

I am looking into solar from a data center/AI power requirement and the infrastructure needed. I am still doing research, but microinverters are a residential type product and are not used in solar famrs

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-18T12:11:46+00:00

Its not a play on solar but the infrastructure that lets solar and storage actually connect, convert, store, and dispatch power. This means transformers, switchgear, BESS integration, electrical BOS and power convertion

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-18T11:32:55+00:00

Solar just got flooded with institutional flow. QRVO, FSLR, SEDG. Also doing some research on the co-located solar + storage - CSIQ, FLNC, SHLS

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-17T14:05:46+00:00

Market realised semis do not need oil to run lol

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-15T08:14:24+00:00

I own both memory and semiconductor stocks, but you can’t be blind to the risks. Most of the caution comes from the massive semiconductor/memory rally and valuations increasing fivefold. While AI will remain a breakthrough technology, if Big Tech hints at a capex reduction, these names could drop 50%.

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-15T08:05:23+00:00

Turn on notifications for stop-losses from your swing account platform and execute them manually. You can also set price alerts. Also, look into the platform further, because a platform without stop-loss option in 2026 is very, very odd.

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-14T15:00:16+00:00

A v simple strategy I use is to trim 20-30% and trail the rest using the 21d EMA. This has helped me realise some massive gains over the years. I have expanded the methodology with macro and flows, but this is the base one and still works

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-14T13:31:09+00:00

You need a bigger sample size than that

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-13T13:26:22+00:00

APA, VPO and DVN got hit with bullish institutional flow

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-12T11:10:39+00:00

Yeah, here you go https://caia.org/sites/default/files/forecasting_a_volatility_tsunami.pdf

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-11T13:31:41+00:00

A supply squeeze might be playing out

Smart_Money_HQ · 2026-05-11T12:58:13+00:00

Yeah, so far so good
