US stock market enters " difficult trading pattern "

 US stock market has entered a " much more difficult trading pattern "

August, September & October is where trading bottom is made

No previous pattern of " strength or money flow remains "

Everyone likes to lock in gains @ the same time in same stocks "thus new weakness emerges "

SO

No more AI or Quantum to rescue

All stocks are treated the same  " book profit or lose money "

SO

Be careful with your strategy, optimism or invincibility....

Its going to cost you IF NOT ultra conservative & careful.....

Take it very SLOW until end of October.....

US stock market keep making new highs.....

 US stock market is on a " selective tear "

Many stocks keep making " new all time highs on high volume "

It IS important to read the " message of the market "

It IS AI

It IS Quantum Computing

Many stocks are well positioned to exploit both AI & Quantum phenomenon

BUT many many traders keep playing " wrong stocks "

There was a movie "Death Wish ".....

SO open your eyes and see which stocks are making new all time highs....OWN @ least 1 stock in that profitable list.....

US stock market had technical breakdown....

 US stock market had seizure on Friday, slumping below key technical support in key indices.....

How low can we go.....

200 DMA is considered a major support.....

Most traders were " fully aware of this frothiness "

Just lie low until this selling wave passes.....

Switch to better quality stocks after this selling.....

US stock market may pullback.....

 US stock market remains on a tear despite ongoing trade war with overwhelming countries including Canada where chance of a deal is " almost ZERO "

BUT rhetoric has convinced everyone that there has been a " huge lineup of deal seekers from day ONE "

SO

The question of the day IS......

WHY US stock market keeps going UP & UP

BECAUSE......deadline for deal has been delayed for 3 months in a row....

Comes famous August 1 .....expect another " flip flop ".......

BUT rally may NOT last despite August 1 extension.......

Because we are severely overbought based on RSI.....

All one can do is keep booking profit and keep cash handy for opportunistic buying

US stocks performance last 3 years.....

 Last 3 years US stocks have performed well against 30 years average of 10.17% for S&P 500...

Nasdaq last 3 years back to back are as follows :

2023       Gain of 53.81%

2024       Gain of 24.88%

2025       Gain of 9.77% YTD

IF we add UP 3 years gain ....88.46%......

Last 3 years was the year of AI....where many companies excelled and was well publicized....

Traders were too wrapped up in their old trading ways instead of " daily monitoring of their "thesis "

Traders need to be their " own biggest critic " and make changes / adjust quickly IF results do not match / exceeds benchmarks

It has been easiest 3 years in markets.....

I believe, we are entering much tougher US stock market going forward.....

Markets may pullback in a hurry as many " bullish news are priced IN "

Just for the-record...here is 3 worst year for Nasdaq back to back :

2000 DOWN 36.84%

2001 DOWN 32.65%

2002 DOWN 37.58%

Total loss of 107.07% in 3 straight years......

History is a great wake UP call for " COMPLACENCY "

US stock market...which way UP or DOWN....

 US stock market is showing " unbelievable UPWARD trajectory "

NEVER EVER ignore " message of the market "

Market is " smarter than all the brains on Wall & Broad street.....

We all fall into a trap of what we think market should be doing OR REACT too much to few days of sideways to DOWN movement...

When market do not go down on so called bad days...then it IS a wake UP call.....

YES

There is Trade War

YES there is Tariff

BUT it SEEMS all of those are yesterday's news & fully discounted already......

US stock market enters chaotic tariff deadline.....

 US stock market entering another chaotic deadline of July 9th for unilateral tariff....

I am almost sure there may be many " spin for any or all change in deadline "

9th July may come & go BUT TV camera will be ON for " non news "

Tariff as " weapon " is in play.....

US stock market MAY IGNORE all the " non news about tariff "

This tariff game may NOT be over until end of the year....

SO be ready for an opportunistic trade as & when you see it.....

Stock market has a tendency to filter " non news " and do its own thing....

Pay attention to " how we close "

US stock market getting " deeply overbought "

 US stock market goes UP then goes down...

US stock market makes new all time highs followed by testing support...

That IS the nature of our market......

One has to be mindful of " trading range "

You do NOT have to predict exact highs or lows....BUT be aware of this trading scenario...

I do not have to tell anyone where we are in this " trading fulcrum "

YES...there is a trading phenomenon know as " overbought ".....always monitor this to book profit....

US stock market facing new challenges.....

 US stock market always has many challenges " so it can climb wall of worries "

Highest inflation worldwide.....

High Interest rates....

Slowing GDP....

NOW B2 " bombing "

Followed by Iran Missiles hitting Haifa & Tel Aviv

Sound like a " bad movie "

As Aunt Clara used to say " where is the beef "

Lot of " disinformation & tough talk "

BUT Wall & Broad St...can sort the " fluff out "

There is NO WW111.....that involves real Army on ground.....the best we can do these days is Firing from 14000 Kilometers away with REMOTE and GRAZE few structures.....

SO.....

Wall Street should rally....as one more " step is out of the way "

YES...same old same old 7 stocks should lead this market much higher.....

Fed is all set to " reduce rates in July " which IS few days away.....

SO...increase your exposure with " opportunistic buying "

US stock market facing juvenile zig zag.....

 US stock market has a new challenge, how to deal with juvenile behavior.....

SO day 1 we were sharply LOWER

Day 2 saw REBOUND

Not an exact formula for Wall & Broad

BUT here we stand in between " new scuffle "

SO which sector performed....SILVER was the best sector...

AAPL has reached " SHOW ME AI " stage on Monday....

AI is going through from " THEORY to APPLICATION stage "

AI is transitioning from Hardware to Software implementation.....

AI real world impact needs to be seen & felt NOW....

Q4 will be real test for AI Application / implementation.....

There is a good chance that we MAY see new highs before much needed downward move....

Enjoy the ride UP

US stock market remain extremely volatile...

 2025 is proving to be much tougher than downwardly revised expectations....

US trade war with rest of the world " must have other hidden agenda "

Stock market have not discounted " daily derailment of any progress which CAN be made IF dealing with integrity or credibility " which IS badly lacking ....

Please take US stock market daily gyrations as an Indicator of " major uncertainty " going forward....

US Stock market got another backtracking....

 US stock market cannot get any sanity from US tariff related back peddling.....

EU got the gift of 50% tariff

AAPL got 25% tariff

This IS after everybody supposedly was lined up to do a deal with the chess master....

ZERO credibility comes to mind.....

US stock market cannot function in these daily back peddling....

Stay ahead of so-called bad news events by booking profit quickly....

US stock market has a new challenge....

 US stock market has a new challenge, rating downgrade of USA due to " beautiful borrowing to approve US budget "

No debt ceiling, just say YES to more deficit.....

We may have a sharp selling on Monday.....

Once new selling panic sets in, it takes weeks to reverse it....

Trade war continues, 90 days delays does not cut it....

World economies are taking a huge hit and most CEO's have no clue when this " beautiful trade war will be resolved "

SO...everything is back to square one....

Discussion with China went well for 2 days.....

US stock market looking good.....

 US stock market took whole month of April " liberation month " from arrogance, bullying and TRADE AS WEAPON "

Warren Buffett chose right words to describe White House insanity....

Sooner or later everyone is forced to " change its tune "

There is a worldwide reaction to Trumpism, Australia also elected " labor government " Canada stayed with Liberals a direct reaction to Trumpism...both parties were behind in polls big time until " genius spoke "

US stock market will have its biggest UP day when China will start " watered down trade talks "

Tuesday Canadian Prime Minister will be in cage with Trump, Vance & Rubio to start a NON START...

Back to US stock market.....PATIENCE & CONVICTION is the key in " breaking news market "

Many stocks are working based on your trading style.....

US stock market in rally mode.....

 US stock market found support which was a retest of support last week on Monday.

Reason for change in sentiment was a shift in US tone in terms of Fed Chief & attitude towards China trade, there is more willingness to accept " reality "......

Unilateralism does not work ......

So far ZERO deal on trade front....

IF flexibility is practiced and verbal assault is eliminated, then we may see " progress in trade with many countries "

Canada goes for election of new Prime Minister this Monday....expecting Carney to retain with a majority...

GOOG earning was a beat which " surprised hedge funds SHORT position ".....thus a muted 1.47% gain....

US stock market in " bear trap "

 US stock market is facing worst slump in recent memory.

From February 19th to April 7th in 47 calendar days, Nasdaq has lost about 5315.36 points or 26.45%

Based on unforeseen consequences of " trade war ".....this bear market may last much much longer than any prediction so far....

My guess, this bear market may last 4 years......

SO sit back & plan for second longest bear market in history....

Longest one which I have seen was from 1973......when DOW crossed 1000 and did not end until in mid 700.....

US has shattered world's " trust & order " which may have far reaching consequence......

High handedness & unilateralism does not work......

Bottom line IS......

Do NOT expect much in next 4 years until there is a change @ the TOP......

Playing with figures & FACTS has lack of CREDIBILITY in any deliberation....there is NO LINEUP for any DEAL YET.....

Then there is FOCUS on REDRAWING world map.....MANY have attempted in history with serious consequence.....MANY country have NUCLEAR BOMB......

SO...there is MORE than what is being analyzed in 15 second sound bites.....

SO please understand current stock market environment which for the first time is dealing with " self created many issues "

US stock market prospect NOT so bright....

 US stock market has been dealt a severe blow to " confidence "...

US policy of " crash & burn to world trade " has backfired to an irreparable level "

Worldwide selling of US assets has taken place

US Bonds being liquidated

US$ being sold

US Real estate are being liquidated

US made products are impacted " big time "

VISITORS to USA has DWINDLED to an alarming level

NET NET US stock market IS NOT functioning well @ all

This may take many many years to REVERSE....

You are witnessing on LIVE TV how ARROGANCE can DESTROY millions of hard work in SECONDS

SO

What to do.....

BUY NON US Assets

Invests in non US markets

IF you INSISTS on US investing then DO EXTENSIVE research as to where each company is doing business & to what extent non US focus affects Sales & EPS......

This IS a NEW REALITY......

SOONER you adjust better off you will be ( comparatively speaking )

US stock market, a week to remember....

 US stock market gave a stunning " downhill slide "

When all damages were counted to most portfolio, nothing got spared, from BRK-B...it was freefall of 7% to 15%......in a day.....

YES counting losses is extremely painful and no one was spared....

Reasons are never important....

It IS what are you going to do about it....

Many things can be done....

Like complete reconfigure your portfolio to hopefully better ideas....

OR partial switching of your portfolio

OR leave everything AS IS

I am in the last camp....leave my portfolio alone...

I am expecting a " sharp oversold bounce "

Generally after few days, we normally TEST the LOWS AGAIN....

Why I am leaving my portfolio unchanged....

BECAUSE It was all chosen after careful due diligence and have much higher CONVICTION than some other bright ideas....

YES these slump happens every NORMAL year.....so nothing unusual about this sharp decline.....

SO...follow your OWN instinct & stick to IT....

US stock market in 2025.....

 2025 has turned much more challenging than my " feared projection "

8% Gain was projected...BUT it has become a much larger losses which keeps piling...

NOT a comforting thought of the day....

On my personal front, First we had major Ice storm, which cut off electricity for 24 hours, thus no heat, no internet, no hot water....PLUS downed 5 trees in my backyard....which were 40 feet tall....

Then came end of Ramadan and our celebration which goes on for 3 days...... today is day 2 for us ....

Hope that explains NO BLOG on Sunday plus missing notification....

US stock market has discounted April 2nd trade levies.....

 US stock market has discounted April 2nd trade levies.....

Sometimes market can predict any & all changes which may take place..

Term " flexibility " is being thrown around...which may mean "partial reversal come April 2nd...

Too much mystery is being played out with this " trade " terminology which IS mostly made for TV...a self serving tool...for " look @ me "

No matter what...

US stock market can & will discount any " agenda "

Market has been " derailed " with all the " deliberate confusion "

It will take time to get its " momentum back "

Many good earnings report are being sold off....SO do not believe in " reaction " BE patient for few days and you will see that we are back to levels where we should have been....

SO show CONVICTION & PATIENCE..... a good trait in any market....

On a personal note, Googles compliance wing has been making many false accusation against this BLOG which exposes incompetence of that part of google, ironically I am a share holder of GOOG as my highest exposure...but those employees have NO accountability, previously they said the same things about my You tube channel which has ZERO video...that I am in violation of "community standards "....when I asked them which video they have seen on my channel.....then without apology or compensation for their filth, they restored access to my " blank youtube channel....

I am almost tempted to shut down this BLOG....because I have ZERO financial interest for last 17 years....only Google has benefitted financially from this BLOG...BUT their accusations is the last thing I need in my life when I am trying to " reduce stress due to my weak heart.....

US stock market " ready to explode higher "

 US stock market has finished the-biggest price & PE compression since 2022....

We rallied from end of 2022 to end of 2024 in a straight line, defying GRAVITY & LOGIC

Frothier the stock we ran up to unbelievable levels several 100% higher & higher

NOW...all stocks have come down to realistic levels.....irrespective of all the hoopla associated with their business model....

SO

NOW we have a normal market for 2025.....where gains will be within historical norms of last 50 years

YES

Technology will still lead as it should.....based on...

AI

QUANTUM COMPUTING

BUT there is FEW major OBSTACLE which may create CHALLENGES

TRADE WAR ....... USA VS REST OF THE WORLD

ANNEXATION ....USA vs CANADA, GREENLAND & PANAMA as starting point....

SO DO NOT be too comfortable after this relentless pullback.....ABOVE 2 issues MAY become a major conflict....with GERMANY emerging as MAJOR power.....

US stock market under stress.....

 US stock market is under daily stress of " major uncertainty "

World order is being disrupted which traders cannot relate to...

Attempt to change " world order " is extremely deliberate...

US stock market & world market @ large is having serious difficulty in " understanding or adjusting to this rare disorder "

US traders & individual investors were NEVER ready to " so called BREAKING NEWS which gets broken in few hours "

Everyday new " accusation of how BAD others ARE "

YES.... all this has become a " BAD DREAM DAILY "

YES...this IS our morning analysis....and we are suppose to make " trading or investment decision " in this DISORGANIZED CHAOS "

CANADA, MEXICO, CHINA, EU will face the brunt of  " whatever 2.0 will become "

SO....what to do....

NOT MUCH....

ITS TOTALLY IRRATIONAL....

And it will NOT END anytime soon....

SO....

Get your dartboard out...

AND....

Hope for the best outcome.....

US stock market deeply oversold....

 US stock market finally gave in to repeat escalation of tariff with China & Tuesday's enforcement with Canada & Mexico....

As a Canadian I can safely say this has " damaged relationship with a good neighbor "

World has changed, It IS NEVER WISE to OVERPLAY an old formula....This tactics MAY have worked in the past....BUT NOW many are fed UP with unilateral misquoting of FACTS.....

BUT everyone learns the hard way with lot of damage done in the process...so much for tariff.....

Majority of stocks are on sale.....black Friday sale.....

IF there is room in your portfolio, pick up everything on sale....prices are way down...even below 200 DMA an ideal time to buy.....

YES there is lot of uncertainty BUT life goes ON even on Wall Street....

BUY whatever you know well and looks good.....

Every US market dip is a buying opportunity....

 US market is in a tizzy, every one-off news is taken as a " major trend "

Technicians have missed many buying opportunities " so now they are short big time "

When any group of traders are " unanimous " in their conclusions.....then no market " accommodates them "

SO....buy first thing after open and hopefully by end of Monday you could be happy with your decision to buy buy buy....

Serious money IS being made by doing gutsy purchasing on bad days....

US market will remain zig zag till October...so get used to playing " zig & zag "

About US market it IS totally different  " this year more volatility "

Still we are near all time highs......

Here are my results for last week after so many zig / zag...
