Bullish Nvidia sentiment ahead of big tech earnings calls

GOOGL earnings 7/22 the GAAP number is going to look insane
A WSB poster argues that GOOGL's Q2 GAAP EPS will massively beat the $2.89 consensus estimate, potentially reaching $5-7, due to a $70B unrealized gain from Google's ~5-6% stake in SpaceX following its June 12 IPO. With SPCX closing at $170.86 on June 30, Google's SpaceX stake jumped from ~$40B to ~$113B, and this mark-to-market gain must now be reported through the income statement at face value for the first time as a tangible asset.
Why it matters: After taxes and share count, the gain could add ~$4.50 to EPS, but analysts exclude this below-the-line item from estimates since it's tied to a single closing price on one day and was historically downplayed by Google.

WSB User Blows Up Account: +130% YTD to -10% in Two Weeks After Greedy Put-Selling
A WSB user who was up 130% YTD turned it all around in two weeks by aggressively selling puts on margin, peaking on July 1st with 80 CRWV contracts at $90 strike. After a META article allegedly dropped the stock 20% in two days, they pivoted to a full position in RKLB at $84 and sold CC at cost basis, which worked for a week before the space sector and broader market collapsed, triggering a margin call.
Why it matters: The user chose to liquidate their account rather than let the broker force-sell, vowing to restart with less reckless trading.

IBIT Monday/Wednesday options reportedly removed, Fridays only
An r/wallstreetbets user reports that IBIT (iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF) options for Monday and Wednesday expirations have disappeared from E*Trade, with only weekly Friday expirations still listed. The user, who had been selling covered calls on M/W/F for months, called E*Trade support but the representative could not explain the change and noted the contracts were very high volume.
Why it matters: If confirmed as a broader listing change rather than a brokerage glitch, the reduction to Friday-only weekly options would significantly limit theta-gang and short-dated strategies on the Bitcoin ETF.
Consumer Staples Stocks for Defensive Income as Inflation Eases
With US inflation easing to 3.5%, Simply Wall St highlights three consumer staples stocks positioned for defensive income: Del Monte (DMC, $1.40b market cap), Colgate-Palmolive (CL, $75.27b), and Kimberly-Clark (KMB, $36.18b). Del Monte is pivoting toward premium pineapple varieties and upcycled fruit extracts, though it faces thin margins and climate/logistics headwinds.
Why it matters: Colgate-Palmolive benefits from resilient everyday-essentials demand across oral care, cleaning, and pet nutrition, but carries a $1.1B one-off loss and elevated debt.

WSB meme proposes 'George Costanza Trading' — auto-invert every trade you place
A WSB post by u/SPX500trader jokes about a 'George Costanza Trading' app that automatically flips every trade to the opposite of what you entered, riffing on the Seinfeld 'do the opposite' episode. Commenters compare it to the 'inverse Cramer' strategy and debate what the opposite of an OTM call would even be, with top replies including 'Just flip the chart and you can stick to your own system.'
Why it matters: The post is a humorous take on the idea that retail traders' natural instincts (FOMO, chasing, averaging down) are systematically wrong, so doing the opposite might actually work.
