Anthropic IPO Pumped Nvidia Stock: Why I Didn't Chase It
Nvidia stock jumped on the Anthropic IPO news, and the urge to buy that green $NVDA candle was strong. I passed. With Anthropic filing near a $2 trillion valuation and Nvidia said to be eyeing up to a $10 billion stake, the bullish story wrote itself, and stories everyone can see are exactly where my fills get ugly. Buy a spike and you eat the day's worst spread while whoever bought early hands you their exit. These days the fade comes quicker too, because each AI pump meets a circular-financing rebuttal within hours. My fix is boring: I park a limit at a price I would genuinely accept and let it come to me, or not. I run this through a USDT perpetual on Bitunix so the resting order and my risk stay in one place. Remember a perpetual only tracks the number, it is no share and pays nothing, and leverage carries liquidation risk. Might be wrong, just my approach.
EQT stock after a soft Q3: weak gas prices keep me cautious
EQT stock just posted a telling quarter: adjusted EPS of $0.44 beat the $0.40 estimate, but revenue near $1.44 billion came in light and both volumes and profit fell year on year. A bottom-line beat sitting on a soft top line is why I stay cautious on $EQT rather than excited. The real story is weak gas prices. EQT can manage its costs and clear an EPS bar, but it cannot set Henry Hub, and soft gas pressed the top line. That is competent execution into a tough tape, not a cycle turn. With the Range deal running at the same time, plenty is moving around $EQT at once, and that complexity makes me size down. I hold my exposure as a small USDT perpetual on Bitunix behind a stop. The contract follows price alone, pays no dividend, and leverage attaches a liquidation level. Could be wrong, just staying patient until gas gives me an edge. Not a guarantee.
