I have owned both Oracle and AMD in the past. They failed to perform for me. Once Oracle was a major player with data base software for businesses. To me they are an under achiever. AMD has some avid followers on TMF. Perhaps the deal with OpenAI means they have turned the corner. We shall see.
Heard on the radio, a big week for the Magnificent 7 - four of them (MSFT, TSLA, AAPL, META) report this week. Then, GOOGL and AMZN the week after. Could be a hopping week with all those companies reporting. NVDA is further out in late Feb 2026. CRWV gets a $2B investment from NVDA, which gives the former a lift. Mentioned on another board, an idea that got my attention, CPNG - South Korean version of AMZN. Shares retreated to 52-week lows. There was a data breach reported in Dec 2025. But upon a deeper investigation by police and cyber experts, it turned out the breach was found to be a lot less severe than initially announced.

I wonder what TicTok will do for Oracle.
Yes we all hope for good tech earnings this week. Perhaps that will give them a boost.

Well, it seems like a new risk showed up regarding CPNG - US Government, tariffs. Still, decided to go ahead with my decision. I now have some CPNG with purchases in both taxable ac and Roth ac. Another MRVL nibble in taxable ac. Another BRK-B nibble in Roth ac. Opted for some FRO in taxable ac

Last week saw the announcement of quarterly results from 4 of the Magnificent 7. Other than the Tesla developments (ceasing production of the Model S and Model X) and the Microsoft spend data, I didn’t dive into reports too much. Apple’s price seem to be recovering. Had nibbled, and now a brief skim says the company had good earnings - Yay! Two more Mag 7 names report this week. NVDA also announced an additional investment in CRWV. New price point from a biggie is a useful mark to assess whether to add or not. Timing is nice, as today is day 30/31 - will just wait another day to be safe. Tinkering with the idea of making LRN a trading fish. Company had a nice bounce last week. But then gave a chunk on the day of the bounce, and a little more the next day. Safer idea to trade since I have only realized gains in both Roth and taxable ac.

Tech stocks are doing ok but it’s the memory stocks that are really hot. SNDK, Western Digital, Micron, Seagate. Demand seems strong due to AI and data centers. Prices are up.
Would phrase it slightly different - some tech stocks are doing very. Some are pulling back a little. AMD took a hit today. QCOM has been on a multi-week drop. Yes, memory-related names seem to be holding up (I did see the SNDK jump. Not tracking the others too close). Decided to close out my VSH stake. Not memory, but different components for AI-related or data center related use.
Decided on my starter position with SFM today - just to add variety to the port.

One of those “market puke” days. Could not have predicted the figures at the close based on the first hour. I mean, AMD was red out the gate. But, the neoclouds seemed to be okay initially and COHR was around breakeven. But then, the flood gates opened. Nice of BRK/B and AAPL to work counter to the market. Nibbled on AMD for taxable ac and U nibble for Roth ac. DHT kicked off Q4 2025 reports for shipping entites. LPG is next (but it is Q3 2026 for them)
