Hi Saleem,

I'm back from vacation and trying to catch up!

Two weeks ago: +1.05%
Last week: +6.22% (YTD: +27.29%)
Notable Portfolio Leaders: SOXS SARK PINS
Notable Portfolio Laggards: ZENV FRC

So, I've come to realize that I've been very net short given the triple short nature of the SOXS. Although that has served me well in this past week, it is too much on an ongoing basis. I tried to reduce some SOXS exposure (along with cutting SARK in half) on Thursday but my limit order never filled and then the market rallied into the afternoon. I will look to shrink up that exposure next week.

The market pulled back after the big runup recently and my portfolio benefitted. This is probably just a pause in a bull market, but we will need to clear the double top formation in the NASDAQ especially, which is the leader of this run. The weakness in the small caps bothers me though, so I think the market is still trying to some figure things out: like how much earnings will be hurt by tightening lending standards competing with a Fed that appears nearly done. I am not sure these upcoming earnings reports will tell much, and we may need to wait for later in the month or May ones to full know.

Holdings: SOXS (28%), SARK (20%), PINS (11%), BMBL (11%), ZENV (4%), cash 26%
