$SPDR Gold Shares(GLD.US) Gold prices increased by over 1% amid diplomatic negotiations aimed at easing the U.S.-Iran conflict, impacting inflation and interest rate decisions. A proposed 10-day ceasefire in the conflict may influence the outlook on oil prices, which softened on reports of mediation attempts contrasted by ongoing hostilities. While the Federal Reserve is expected to maintain current interest rates, there is a 64% probability of a rate hike in September, affecting market dynamics for precious metals. In my opinion, I don't really trust the proposed ceasefire deal as we have seen in the past how these "peace deals" fell apart in the matter of days. Moreover, now may be a good time to start accumulating some gold for the future. @Captain's Treasure

$Palantir Tech(PLTR.US) Palantir Technologies has garnered mixed investor opinions, primarily due to its high valuation metrics, trading at a forward P/S multiple of around 41 and a P/E ratio near 90. The company has demonstrated impressive revenue growth over 11 consecutive quarters, showcasing an 85% increase in the first quarter, driven by new customer additions and efficient growth from existing clients. Palantir's AI solutions, particularly its Artificial Intelligence Platform, have achieved strong customer retention with a net revenue retention rate of 150%, highlighting its potential for significant future growth. The problem is the stock has ran up too much last year and now the hype has been transferred to other stocks, leaving Palantir accumulating in the current range. @Captain's Treasure

$Oracle(ORCL.US) The biggest bull case for Oracle is also the same reason many investors are skeptical. The company has a $638 billion remaining performance obligation, which represents the contracted future revenue its customers have committed to. For FY2027, Oracle is guiding for $90 billion in revenue, which is significantly higher than FY2026 $67 billion. However, many investors are also worried about the massive backlog. Half of the backlog comes from a single customer - OpenAI. That company recently delayed its IPO, which added to major concerns about its ability to meet its obligations. In addition, Oracle is not only spending all of its income to set itself up to fulfill its backlog but is also taking on debt. @Captain's Treasure

$Netflix(NFLX.US) Netflix dropped by 10% following mixed Q2 financial results, reporting earnings per share of $0.80, surpassing the $0.79 forecast, but missing revenue expectations at $12.56 billion. The company lowered its 2026 revenue guidance to between $51 billion and $51.4 billion, from previous estimates, while anticipating a 12% revenue growth for Q3. Netflix plans to reduce reporting of its engagement metrics, now offering viewership data once annually starting in 2027, while still aiming to double advertising revenue to $3 billion this year. The earnings call highlights potential to reel in more subscribers while expanding its ad revenue throughout the rest of the year heading into 2027. I do think the drop is an overreaction fuelled by overly inflated expectations. @Captain's Treasure

$Apple(AAPL.US) Apple is seeking to acquire semiconductor startups to enhance its AI server capabilities, as it aims to compete more effectively with other tech giants. The company has been in discussions with investment bankers regarding potential acquisitions to address performance limitations with its in-house M2 microchips. This shift marks a change in Apple's historical reluctance toward large buyouts, demonstrated by its recent $2 billion acquisition of Q.ai, underscoring its urgent need for advanced technologies. Besides, this strategic move also proves that Apple is trying to reduce its reliance on powerhouse Nvidia, targeting long term chips self sustainability. @Captain's Treasure

$Palantir Tech(PLTR.US) Palantir Technologies has recently garnered attention following strategic partnerships with NVIDIA and Surf Air, focusing on enhancing AI capabilities for U.S. government applications and expanding SurfOS products. Analysts maintain a positive outlook for Palantir, with a consensus Buy rating and an average price target of $187.42, reflecting recent upgrades from multiple firms. However, bar any magnificent breakthrough or partnerships, I don't think Palantir will spike back to its ATHs of $190 anytime soon. The best case scenario is for it to consolidate and edge higher slowly, I personally targeting a $150 in the next 3 months. @Captain's Treasure

$Oracle(ORCL.US) Oracle stock has dropped approximately 33% since its June earnings report, despite strong revenue and earnings figures driven by AI cloud demand. The decline is attributed to a projected $95 billion in capital expenditures for fiscal 2027 and concerns about rising debt and profitability pressures. Investor Steven Fiorillo argues that this selloff overlooks long-term earnings potential from Oracle's AI investments, predicting a significant upside as new infrastructure starts generating revenue. The drop continues further with the escalation of US-Iran war, though I see this as an opportunity to lower my cost. @Captain's Treasure

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)Nvidia executives, including CEO Jensen Huang, recently addressed investor concerns at a non-deal roadshow hosted by Morgan Stanley, confirming that growth is accelerating as revenue nears $100 billion. The company firmly denied rumors regarding delays in its Rubin Ultra architecture and emphasized that both Nvidia and cloud providers' self-developed ASICs can coexist and grow together.

Nvidia detailed its diversified growth strategies across three major tracks: AI laboratories, traditional cloud providers, and emerging AI infrastructures, while announcing plans to allocate over 50% of future cash flow to share buybacks and dividends. With a forward P/E ratio of only 18, perhaps this is one of the undervalued stocks that people are passing up to chase after hype.@Captain's Treasure

$Apple(AAPL.US) Apple has filed a lawsuit against two former employees and OpenAI for trade secret misappropriation and breach of contract. The complaint alleges that the former employees exploited confidential information to benefit OpenAI’s hardware ambitions, including accessing Apple’s systems and using proprietary information to recruit workers. Apple seeks to halt the misuse of its trade secrets and recover damages, claiming OpenAI's hardware operations rely on stolen information. Reports suggest that OpenAI instructed former Apple employees to bring trade secrets to interviews to secure job positions. If true, this would not be the first time OpenAI is facing backlash for unethical operations. @Captain's Treasure
