$PLTR (+2,07%) What an inclusion in the S&P500 can do. Well, hopefully it won't end up like $SMCI (-1,87%) ... :-D

The reason for this post is the current debate about $SMCI (-1,87%) 😄. But it has nothing to do with the debate. I would just like to know how you keep up to date with the shares/companies you hold.

Basically, there is not always a need for action, whether good or bad news. Nevertheless, it is important to keep an overview in order to be able to react in good time if necessary (as in the case mentioned above). $VAR1 (-0,4%) would be a similar case, for example.

So what tools do you use or can you recommend in order not to miss important news? Do you use the platforms' watch functions or Google Alerts on specific topics?

Good morning everyone,

I hope you've already had your coffee, because I need your help - preferably without laughing! I've never ventured into certificates and the like before, but now I'd like to open a short on Super Micro Computer. $SMCI (-1,87%)

My broker is Trade Republic, and to be honest, I have no idea what exactly I need to pay attention to. Can you guys help a newbie out? Which certificates are attractive here, and what pitfalls should I avoid at all costs?

Thank you in advance and be gracious!

Nvidia disappoints stock market despite strong AI growth + Salesforce exceeds expectations + Crowdstrike lowers annual targets + Super Micro Computer does not submit annual figures on time

With significant share price losses Nvidia $NVDA (-2,51%) reacted to the figures and, above all, the chip company's outlook with significant share price losses in after-hours trading. Although the highly anticipated business figures of AI chip manufacturer Nvidia exceeded consensus estimates, the gross margin and data center sales rose more slowly than in the previous quarter. In addition, the outlook was not convincing in all respects. For example, the new chip generation ("Blackwell") will go into series production one quarter later than planned. Nvidia fell by around 7 percent in the after-hours trading.

MI 22:22:33 *NVIDIA Q2 GROSS MARGIN AT 75.7% (PROG 75.5)

MI 22:22:59 *NVIDIA ANNOUNCES FURTHER SHARE BUYBACK OF USD 50BN

MI 22:23:31 *NVIDIA MAINTAINS QUARTERLY DIVIDEND OF 1 US CENT

What do you say? Is Nvidia too big in the hype and therefore the expectations of the stock market simply far too high? The figures are basically good, but the expectations of the stock market were very high...

In contrast, the figures from Salesforce $CRM (+0,53%) The SAP competitor's revenue, profit and operating margin exceeded expectations. The company also raised its outlook. The share gained 4 percent. Salesforce Inc's second-quarter earnings per share of $2.56 beat analysts' estimates of $2.35. Sales of $9.33 billion exceeded expectations of $9.22 billion.

Crowdstrike $CRWD (+2,86%) lost 2.7 percent. Although the company earned more than expected in its second quarter, it lowered its annual targets and gave a pessimistic outlook for the current quarter. The reason for this was the faulty software update that caused widespread disruption worldwide in July. Among other things, numerous flights were canceled, operations were canceled and stores had to be closed. Crowdstrike Holdings Inc's second quarter earnings per share of $1.04 beat analysts' estimates of $0.97. Revenue of $963.9m beat expectations of $958.32

The US group Super Micro Computer
$SMCI (-1,87%) needs more time to review its accounts and misses the deadline for filing its annual report. Its share price plunged 25.1 percent to a seven-month low in early U.S. trading, putting it on track for its biggest one-day selloff since a record 41.1 percent plunge on Oct. 4, 2018. The stock has fallen 41.5 percent so far in August, putting it at risk of its worst monthly performance in history.
