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......

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.....

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....

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....
Only thing which seems to work is book profit when you see it, or else lose the gain.....

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 "

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......

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 ....

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.....

World order is being disrupted which traders cannot relate to...
Attempt to change " world order " is extremely deliberate...

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 "

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 "

US stock market may not exceed 8% in 2025....
US stock market in last 6 trading weeks is displaying " jitteriness "
Every Friday's close leaves us wondering about Monday's open
This week may decisively turn negative....
All this churning & trading below 50 DMA for most Mag 7 stocks is not a confidence builder...
Something got to give very soon....
I may start reducing my exposure ASAP
Please book profit wherever & whenever it comes.....an environment of " singles NOT homerun "

2025 challenging US stock market continues....
US stock market is displaying technical deterioration in major Indices.....
Even the strongest stocks are on the weak side.....
CES did the-most damage to " quantum frenzy "
Even NVDA was " evasive " in terms of how the business is going....round & round answers given.....
2025 looks like a " negative year " after 2 years of frenzied gains....
As they say " First 5 trading days sets the tone for rest of the year "
Tone is down down down.....
This year of 2025 will find most traders " NOT READY FOR A DOWN MARKET "
Speculative stocks are being crushed 40% @ a time.......
Hard to recover from such a beating.....
There is really no way to hide from a " bear market "
IF you are in the market, you will be negative unless you go for " Money Market " OR T Bills "
Not much of a hope I can share unless you get very very lucky with your stocks....or your timing is PERFECT.....
SO keep CASH on hand for end of the year bargain hunting.....
Good luck with your own take and comfort level.....
Here is my week result :
Last week Down 1.78%
YTD UP 3.99%

US stock market to be extremely selective.....
2024 US stock market performance is in history books....
DOW UP 13% went UP the-least, S&P 500 +23.31% ( 25% with dividend reinvested ) was the second best while Nasdaq 29% went UP the-most.....
5 years average return 11.33% for entire stock market
Where you invest matters, returns were almost TRIPLE IF you compare with small cap IWM which was UP 10.03%.....to almighty Nasdaq.....29%.....
BUT many investors / traders prefer to focus on small cap over & over....hoping to hit many home runs...BUT history does NOT support that thesis...generally in the end small cap crash & burn to horror of many traders.....
Actual performance proves with history of Wall Street that Nasdaq has been a " much stronger & SAFER bet than other Indices " with almost AUTO PILOT mode....BUY IT & leave it alone......BUT so hard to follow this winning formula.....
AGAIN for 2025 Nasdaq should beat even in a much more challenging environment.....
Please DO NOT take 2025 as easy to beat and make easy money....It IS going to be " MUCH MUCH TOUGHER "
Earnings are not supporting expectations of OPTIMISTIC traders....
TOO MANY " EUPHORIA PUNDITS " making outlandish targets about many " super speculative stocks "....which by end of 2025....may shock believers....
Making money requires " realistic expectations "
Making money requires " diversified strategy in many sectors "
Making money requires " PATIENCE & CONVICTION "
Changing strategies on " so called opinion " does not work out
REACTING to near term issues also hurts.....
Think of quarterly expectations, instead of " ticker reaction "
Try to RELAX with your portfolio.....It IS NOT KENTUCKY DERBY...not a horse race either...
SO WHAT...IF you are behind after week 4.....think end of 2025 which IS what really matters.....
SO take a good look @ your strategy & composition of your portfolios, generally " TRENDS DO NOT CHANGE OVERNIGHT "
In any portfolio of 10, 4 will exceed your expectations while 6 will lag.....nothing wrong with that as long as you stick to your winners and do not over trade.....sometimes laggards becomes strong by end of the year.....
HOMEWORK MATTERS......
GAME PLAN MATTERS.......
No matter what you do, good luck in 2025.....
Here is my 2 day result of 2025 :
UP 5.77%
Here is my portfolio weighting :
AVGO 16.04%
GDXJ 15.29%
MSFT 12.34%
TSLA 12.29%
MU 9.24%
AAPL 8.88%
