$TSLA bull since 2019. $PLTR bull since 2021


Sixteen years ago, one man stood alone on a grassy hill at a music festival in Washington State, USA, and started dancing by himself. People glanced over and looked away. Some laughed. His roommate leaned in and warned him people were filming him. He did not stop. Then one stranger got up and joined him. Then another. Then the hillside tipped. Within minutes, hundreds of people were sprinting from across the field to be part of something that, thirty seconds earlier, had been one man being laughed at in a field. Someone filming from higher up the hill said quietly: "See what one man can do. One man can change the world." The clip spread across the internet in 2009. Entrepreneur Derek Sivers played it at a TED conference to explain how movements actually begin. Not with the first person brave enough to start, he argued, but with the first person willing to join them. Collin Wynter, the man dancing alone, later said he had no idea he had done anything special. He was just tired of watching everyone sit still.











BREAKING $GRAB & Singapore Approval! โ Grab gets approval to test its autonomous vehicle services with the public in Singapore [SINGAPORE] Ride-hailing giant Grab, in partnership with WeRide, has started accepting selected members of the public to test its autonomous vehicle (AV) services on Monday (Jan 12) in the Punggol district of north-east Singapore. Several members of the media, including The Business Times, were invited to experience one of the two AV service routes that Grab will be servicing in Punggol. After Monday, selected members of the public, such as grassroots advisers and Punggol residents, will be invited to try Grabโs AV service before an official commercial launch within the next two to three months. โI would say itโs quite a milestone for us to get to this point,โ Dennis Wong, head of strategic projects at Grab Singapore, told The Business Times. โThere are other steps we took like road shows, vehicle tests and certification, but weโre finally moving to the phase where we will truly be able to test the vehicles at scale and get feedback.โ The route that received approval from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) for community testing is 10 km long, and connects residents in Matilda Court and Punggol Clover to Punggol Plaza and Oasis Terraces. The latter are malls that house grocery stores, clinics and food outlets. The community testing phase is the next step before transport operators are given the green-light to run services commercially. Wong said pricing for consumers can be revealed only at a later time. The initial phase of AV services in Singapore will function as a shuttle, meaning that they will serve a fixed route with designated stops. LTA said the AV shuttles that received approval for community testing completed more than 10,000 km autonomously without incident. Grab, in partnership with Guangzhou-headquartered WeRide, will operate two of three shuttle routes in Punggol. Singapore-headquartered multi-modal transport operator ComfortDelGro will operate the third route in Punggol in partnership with Pony.ai, which is dual-headquartered in Guangzhou and Fremont, California. Grab has a fleet of 11 AVs, comprising 10 five-seaters and one eight-seater Robobus, to service its two routes, while ComfortDelGro has a fleet of five five-seater AVs for its route. Grabโs AV fleet will run weekdays from 9.30 am to 5 pm, and ComfortDelGroโs fleet will run daily at the same times. The community testing phase will allow both transport operators and AV software providers to gather more data to fine-tune operations before an expected commercial launch, as it now includes passenger interactions. The road ahead Punggol was selected as the first neighbourhood to trial such AV services due to a lack of public transport options, and because AVs could complement the current offerings in the neighbourhood. Authorities said previously that if the trial in Punggol is successful, then Tengah, a new neighbourhood in Singaporeโs west, could be the next location to have such services. LTA did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the timeline for approving the two other routes in Punggol for community testing and on expanding AV services into new neighbourhoods. The Singapore transport regulator also did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether other transport operators besides Grab and ComfortDelGro are also bidding to operate AV services in the city-state. ComfortDelGro did not immediately respond to a comment on a timeline for community testing. Grab Singaporeโs Wong said the first deployment in Punggol will help the company understand the operational realities of running AVs on the ground. He declined to give a specific timeline on when Grab will scale up from its current fleet of 11 vehicles, or when the shuttle service will become a point-to-point operation. โRight now we are focused on primarily operationalising this Punggol shuttle service, really understanding the nuances of how AVs operate,โ he said. โSo we are really focusing our efforts on building up this ground operation and this base, from which we can then further evaluate how we should expand this to other services.โ







$GRAB| Short sellers and Price Action ๐งต Short sellers are increasingly picking the narrative that they saw the future and knew Iran conflict would come from September 2024. They switched around like 30 times now why they are shorting $GRAB. Yes rising fuel price will negatively impacted $GRAB operation. The fuel-shock in Feb 2022 was much worse for $GRAB and the business grew just fine at 112% in 2022 and 64.62% in 2023. The problem was the whole world was doing QT and largest economies rising currencies were putting massive pressure on $GRAB business, yet they were winning market share from ~50% to now 70-75%. 1. If they really knew the future, they could have 10-15x on memory stocks but decided to short a profitable, FCF+ and ~$16B in raw value(Cash, Equity investment, Goodwill, and others). Clearly short sellers are full of shit, and they just picking the most bearish recent events to claim they are winning. 2. Are short sellers really winning? They started shorting aggressive from $3.5, and they pumped out nonstop fake news and FUD all the way to $6.50 and all the way down to $3.71. The estimated average for 230m shares short is around $4-$4.10. Are they really winning with $0.30-$0.40 gain where they would have to cover 230m shares to actually realize the profit? The effective float is now down to 100-150m shares because institutional purchases from the top 20-30 institutions. Non-institutional onwers dont count, they have not sold or added in years. How is this winning? They paid roughly $100m in margin interest(estimate) from September 2024. If they cover everything next week, they would still be down $50m+. Are they 100% sure they know the future of this Iran conflict? What if Oil is back to $60 range next month? Think about it since April low, most bears were citing SEA economies gonna get destroyed with 50-100% tariffm yet GRAB was doing just fine, and winning; tariff went down to 15-20%. Narrative can change quickly when the right catalyst comes! 3. Why Short Sellers Are Wrong: The Affordability Flywheel, Re-Accelerating MTU Growth, and Southeast Asia's Undisputed Superapp This full research paper will be exclusive for subscribers, and for information purpose only, it should not be treated as Financial Advice! (About 9 pages) This week Deliveroo just lost entire market share to $GRAB. Soon Foodpanda with 200% debt to cash will exit Grab main market to focus on market where they are winning. And $GOTO is getting crushed, and Indonesia govt is forcing them to sell Mobility/Delivery segment to $GRAB. Grab market share will be in the range of 90-95%, and yet short sellers still claim this SuperApp has no MOAT. How does a business have no MOAT grow to 90-95% market share and grew Monthly Transacting Users to 50.5m? 90-95% is essentially monopoly. The affordability strategy is not a one-time promotion. It is a structural acquisition machine. New users who enter via saver deliveries are progressively cross-sold into mobility (ride-hailing), GrabPay (digital wallet), GrabFinance (lending), and GrabMart. Each additional service a user adopts increases retention and lifetime value dramatically. Yes it sucks to underpform and getting shorted like crazy, and they have complete control of price action. Just like $HIMS since May 2025. The story just turned around completely. $HIMS float is much smaller so the squeeze will be spectacular, $HIM fundamental is much more solid long term than $GME or $AMC nonsense. Young investors are actually getting a high quality compounder here. I can't predict the future like bears claimed. I can't time the market like many claimed they could. I don't offer Financial Advice. But I do know, short sellers are going to lose billions here + Margin Interest. Almost all short sellers shorting my long term never had a good ending. So best of luck idiots. Not Financial Advice!
