Baidu: Sluggish Core Masks A Deep Value Opportunity — Positive

BIDU   Seeking Alpha — August 18, 2025

Baidu is a value buy, overlooked amid China's AI and autonomous driving growth, offering strong GARP potential despite weak core advertising. Advertising and iQIYI revenues are under pressure, but I believe the downturn is cyclical and the ad business still has a solid floor. AI Cloud and non-marketing revenues are growing rapidly, now comprising 29% of total revenue and driving future topline growth.

Novo Nordisk's Loss Is Eli Lilly's Gain, And Vice Versa — Positive

LLY  NVO   Seeking Alpha — August 18, 2025

Novo Nordisk A/S's FDA approval for Wegovy in MASH and aggressive Ozempic pricing boost its position, despite recent stock declines and competitive pressure from Eli Lilly and Company. Both NVO and LLY face regulatory headwinds from U.S. drug pricing demands, but I believe much of the bad news is already priced in for both. Novo's strategic pricing, strong clinical data, and attractive valuation make it my preferred long-term pick, though both stocks offer upside from current levels.

TBT Provides -2x Leveraged Exposure To The 20-Year Treasury — Negative

TBT   Seeking Alpha — August 18, 2025

TBT offers -2x daily performance of 20+ Year Treasury Bonds, but is highly risky and unsuitable for long-term holding due to value decay. Leveraged inverse ETFs like TBT can experience significant compounding effects and performance drift if held beyond a single day, amplifying potential losses. Macroeconomic factors and likely Fed rate cuts in September 2025 could drive long-term Treasury yields lower, making TBT vulnerable to further declines.
