IBM had a rough week in the market, with its stock taking a significant hit. As a long-term shareholder, I’m not looking at tomorrow or next quarter—I’m thinking about the next 10 years. I’m genuinely curious to hear different perspectives from this community. * What do you think caused this week’s selloff? * Was this an overreaction by the market or a sign of deeper challenges? * Do you believe IBM is still well-positioned to compete in AI, hybrid cloud, quantum computing, and enterprise technology over the next decade? * If you owned IBM shares today, would you sell, hold, or even buy more? Why? I have my own thoughts, but before making any decisions, I’d like to hear from people with different viewpoints and experiences. Where do you honestly see IBM in 2036? Stronger than today, or losing ground to competitors? Looking forward to a great discussion. 👇
Micron is diversifying its demand story, right when the market is questioning the original one. $MU announced agreements with automotive manufacturers for memory chips this week. The modern car is a data center on wheels, ADAS, infotainment, autonomous systems all devour memory at scale. This opens a second demand vector beyond AI data centers, at a moment when the HBM cycle is showing signs of fatigue at the top. The timing is telling: $MU has fallen -33% from its $1,200 ATH to $848 today. Volume at 63M shares, institutional distribution, not retail panic. The automotive deal is real, but it doesn't fix a momentum problem in the near term. $818 is the critical floor right now, the breakout base from the original AI-driven rally. Hold it and the automotive thesis gives the stock a fundamental reason to stabilize. Lose it on a daily close and $657 is the next real support, a -18% drop from here. The question isn't whether automotive memory demand is real. It is. The question is whether it's enough to absorb the selling pressure from a stock that ran +300% in months. New demand vector or a distraction from a broken chart, does $818 hold? 👇

$QQQ: The narrowing price action in tech set bearish resolution. The 20DMA is set to cross below the 50DMA, a clear trend shift that seemed unimaginable less than a month ago since semiconductors were going to the moon. The damage could be worse but some mag7 have mitigated it.
