  2. Hi Saleem,

    Good luck with more BTCC.TO!

    The Bitcoin and gold moves have puzzled me this year given the strong dollar and market.

  3. Good morning Saleem and stocktrader,

    Hope everything is fine with you.

    SMCI is down 20%. Is it worth nibble a few shares?

    It is so scary to buy the stock.

  4. Hi Joseph,

    I don't particularly like the stock because I don't believe in the durability of its competitive edge. I would personally go for something more like AMD if you wanted to buy a dip today.

  6. Hi Saleem,

    Sold SNAP @ 15.92 to take profits

    SNAP remains vulnerable to a slowdown in ad spending if the economy weakens from here.

  8. Hi Stock Rookie,

    Thank you for the kind words on SNAP - sometimes just realizing all the bad news is already in a stock is better than just expecting good news.

    I find the charts of AI and IONQ most interesting as the relative strength recently is starting to show. AMD is still expensive and forward margins are a concern as more chipmakers ramp up their offerings and some ultra big companies bring production in house.
