Summary

Thread dominated by allegations of insider trading in oil markets and skepticism of Iran deal headlines, with a recurrent “Groundhog Day” feeling.

[+5] u/UnObtainium17: Me and everyone in this subreddit will be so cooked the moment any of these tech companies say "reduced capex spending".

edit: MU +11% yesterday and today another +5% pre-market. jesus h. christ on a robinhood account.

[+20] u/jrex035: "Someone" placed a nearly $1 BILLION short on oil minutes before the Axios story dropped. 

Such beautiful "free" markets we have these days, insider trading in broad daylight on a daily basis with zero consequences. 

President Xi must be jealous as hell

[+12] u/selesnyaTroll: Oil getting shit on again because of another report that the US thinks they are getting close to an agreement with Iran. Also that they expect an Iranian response in about 48 hours... which is awfully close to the weekend. Stop me if you've heard this one before. Oh and looks like oil got hit with the short attack 30 min or so before this new axios report came out. Totally normal. Feel like we're Bill Murray in Groundhog Day replaying the same thing over and over, but at least in this version stocks keep going up I guess lmao

[+10] u/IBangTokyoWife: Man the markets are just crazy. I think the worst part is that I'm celebrating receiving crumbs while the ultra wealthy are the ones seriously making money. Most of society is losing money because the proportion of their wealth invested is so much lower than the 1%'s. Aside from a lucky few, the best we regular retailers can hope for is breaking even. Grift of the century

[+10] u/InvestigatorPlus3229: Wow groundbreaking research right here:

Surging gas prices are hitting lower-income households harder, New York Fed study shows

[+9] u/FarrisAT: If I was Barak Ravis of Axios, I’d be a billionaire by now.

Just make up a story and get a 15% move on a globally traded commodity.

[+8] u/iamjimmy18: This market won't ever have an extended bearish crash.  Other than the brief time during Covid,  this has been an unstoppable rally for 18+ years  since 2008.

[+8] u/Foreigntragedy: Stock market will never have a red day again

[+8] u/atdharris: Futures are higher but thank god Microsoft is still red! What a great stock

[+7] u/Outrageous_Tip_2133: The current rally is based on real earnings growth. The projected earnings growth for Q1 for S&amp;P companies for Q1 was 12%. The earnings growth have been 25%. That is crazy. Plus most companies have raised guidance. This earnings season has been one of the greatest ever.

[+7] u/IBangTokyoWife: It's pretty funny seeing people FOMO into MU SNDK etc

Not to say these won't continue to go up (in fact I'd wager they will in the short to medium term), but buyers think they're geniuses ahead of the curve as these are the most popular tickers around. Looks like a retail trap to me. I'm not touching them with a 10-foot pole but good luck to those who try

[+7] u/jrex035: Since the Axios "story" dropped, Trump has said that it's too early for direct meetings with Iran again AND threatened them with military action if they don't accept his demands. 

Gee, it's almost like the Axios story was bs from the start

[+7] u/Hoof_Hearted12: On this day a year ago, I loaded up on google at $163.55. A rare win for me.

[+7] u/InvestigatorPlus3229: The coin base ceo seems like a clown

[+6] u/FarrisAT: Even Barak Ravid is starting to be skeptical of Axios reporting.  
He writes at 9:00am: “However, US officials have talked about optimism on a deal multiple times before”.

Amigo… you wrote the article!

[+5] u/InvestigatorPlus3229: GOOG pushing to 400, congrats holders

[+5] u/SvV_Ying: No stopping these earnings, one beat after the other. Great

[+5] u/Kemilio: “Don’t worry, Microsoft will have its day. Soon. Probably! Just…dont look at your brokerage today okay?”

Meanwhile other big chips moon.

Fun days, I’ll tell ya.

[+5] u/jcpopm: Blow off top on non-news.

[+5] u/staythewaters: It's so fucking hilarious how much the market wants to be lied to.

[+5] u/tachyonvelocity: One lottery software bet I would take is Adobe. People see photoshop and then AI videos and then sell Adobe, but that's not exactly what Adobe is.

Adobe is more like a workflow optimizer for marketers, a company that makes creating and selling ads easier. You know how there's the idea that the economy is basically people selling and marketing products and services to each other. That's what Adobe does. Photoshop, etc. is a major side business that's at the starting level for this process but is not the full purpose of Adobe.

The reason why Adobe is thus quite resilient is because using the entire suite for enterprise and as a company grows, it's just easier and simpler to use 1 system than use a dozen different software point solutions that might be better at specific use cases but don't operate and integrate well with each other, like Canva, Figma, capcut, etc. If there are 10 more vibe coded software, it wouldn't really matter. 

So Adobe is actually a type of vertical software for marketers priced at a terminal value of zero because the most obvious use case is image and video editing. Those hating on Adobe for focusing on enterprise instead of hobbyists, for example, because they are priced out of specific tools, aren't the market. The irony is also that if Adobe falls, then it means something has really changed the entire landscape of marketing and creative tools, not only will it mean the number of creative jobs have collapsed but those jobs in marketing have also collapsed too. 

If you are a creative or in marketing, Adobe cannot fail or it means permanent job loss forever for your career.

A highly upvoted comment warns that FOMO buyers piling into MU (and SNDK) are walking into a “retail trap” despite short-term momentum. The community perceives these tickers as overhyped popular names likely to reverse sharply once retail interest fades. Avoid MU – the prevailing sentiment is that it’s a crowded trade with poor risk/reward for new longs. Continued earnings beats or sector momentum could prove the warning wrong; no bullish counterpoints in thread.

Same comment groups WDC (via SNDK) with MU as a retail trap, noting buyers think they are “geniuses ahead of the curve.” Like MU, WDC is a memory-play with a retail following that often fades after initial hype, making it vulnerable to reversals. Avoid WDC – the community consensus is that it’s a crowded, risky name despite any short-term gains. Strong NAND/DRAM pricing cycles could extend rallies; not addressed in thread.

A detailed comment argues Adobe is mispriced as a terminal-value-zero play because the market fixates on Photoshop/AI, ignoring its core enterprise marketing workflow platform. If the thesis holds, ADBE offers a defensive long opportunity – a collapse would imply permanent job losses in marketing, making the downside unlikely. Long ADBE based on the community’s reasoning that the market undervalues its sticky enterprise ecosystem. Competition from Canva, Figma, or AI video tools could erode market share; the thesis is from a single user without broad backing.

Multiple upvoted comments highlight GOOG pushing toward $400, with one user locking in a 144% gain from $163.55 a year ago. Strong earnings season and relentless market rally support tech leaders; GOOG’s price action reflects sustained institutional demand. Community sees GOOG as a momentum play with proven upside, making a long position attractive. Regulatory headwinds or a broad market correction could reverse gains; not discussed in thread.
