Micron's FY26Q3 revenue hit $41.46B (+346% YoY), adjusted gross margin reached 84.9% (beating Nvidia's 75% and Meta's 81.9%), and adjusted EPS came in at $25.11 (12x YoY).

This isn't a decent earnings report — it's Micron's official promotion from AI supporting cast to AI lead actor.
2025 was hyped as crypto's "policy dividend year," yet Bitcoin crashed from its $126,251 all-time high to below $90,000, ending the year in the red. This article dissects three culprits: record 1.6M BTC selling by long-term holders, a $20B leverage liquidation cascade, and the narrative collapse as BTC's correlation with the S&P 500 surged to 0.86.
TAIEX hit an all-time high of 46,552 in early June and closed yesterday at 47,100. Overnight U.S. tech rolled over, TSMC's ADR dropped 6.69%, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 7.87%, and Micron dropped 13.18%. Today (the 24th), Taiwan stocks gapped down 800+ points at the open, with the index slammed back to the doorstep of 46,000.

Taiwan stocks crashed 1,057 points on June 24, 2026, as global tech stocks synchronized a massive sell-off. This article dissects the three root causes: the Fed's hawkish pivot, AI bubble concerns, and the leverage cascade. Plus: actionable strategies for retail investors.
On 6/22/2026 SpaceX (SPCX) plunged 16.43%, the third straight down day, with cumulative drawdown above 23% and a single-day market-cap wipe of about $400B. The company announced its first investment-grade bond of at least $20B, with filings disclosing roughly $100.8B cash. Why issue bonds with a hundred billion in cash? Because AI burns $2 for every $1 earned, and Oppenheimer forecasts net debt will rise by $400B by 2031. Debt becomes the primary funding source. Four concrete takeaways for Taiwan investors.
You think grabbing that "Buy Now, Pay Later" deal on Shopee or Uber Eats scored you a NT$50 discount? The truth: you are not the consumer — you are the product packaged and sold into Wall Street ABS bonds. Using a simple role-play, this article breaks down how a NT$10 billion pile of consumer IOUs gets sliced into a three-layer tiramisu of bonds and, via bankruptcy remoteness, sold to the world; then it dissects how a Chinese payments giant spun NT$3 billion of equity into NT$300 billion of assets — 100x leverage — before regulators slammed the brakes 48 hours before its IPO.
Margin balance on Taiwan's AI stocks surged past NT$300 billion in 2024. Retail investors scramble to borrow money to buy, convinced the AI theme is the last chance to turn their life around. Yet while you chase the rally, foreign institutional investors on Wall Street are quietly doing the opposite — they are selling, systematically and on schedule. A new high in margin balance is not proof of a strong bull market; it is the warning light of retail leverage piling up. This article breaks down the mechanics of forced margin selling, three wealth-protection plays (core-satellite, stop-loss/take-profit, periodic rebalancing), two overlooked advanced traps (margin usage ratio at 20%, foreign institutional open-interest in options), four iron rules, and a three-question decision framework. Core thesis: when others buy confidence with borrowed money, prepared investors buy protection with their own.
New Fed Chair Warsh's first meeting was more hawkish than expected: rates held, but the dot plot flipped from a cut to a hike and the Dow plunged 500+ points. Here are the 4 signals and how to stand firm.
When you tap that 'Buy Now, Pay Later' button, you think you're grabbing a coupon. In reality, you're being packaged as a financial product and fed to Wall Street. Every time you swipe, your future cash flow becomes fuel for someone else's money-printing machine. From Shopee to Ant Group, this trillion-dollar leverage game extracts 100x scale from your bills. Here's how to see the structure before it eats your wallet.
A salesman pours everything into closing a NT$10K deal. The client pays on the spot — his finest moment that month. Then payday arrives, and buried in his payslip is the commission: NT$250.
