Hi Salem,
Congrats on your stella week of gains and a great start of 2025.

Hi Saleem,
Last week: -2.12% (YTD: -5.42%)
Portfolio Leaders: BITU GTLS OSIS
Portfolio Laggards: ATOM CRNC PSNL ZENV
In a nice week for the markets, the portfolio underperformed due to big winners from late last year seeing major profit taking still. I definitely underestimated the magnitude of this potential effect, and I'm paying the price for it now, but I think sticking with a few of those companies will pay off in the end. I am looking forward to earnings season to see how my companies have and will perform in this humming economy, and I'm trying to shift into some discretionary names that haven't run yet because I feel that group still has potential this year.
Holdings: ATOM PLNT CRNC CNK OSIS PSNL PUMP ODD BMR ZENV, cash 6.5%

Hi Saleem,
A few thoughts and ideas today:
ZENV's latest announcement strikes me as an attempt to look attractive from a takeover standpoint.
LITE got a double upgrade today, has high short interest, and should benefit from the massive AI infrastructure announcement - I'm trying to add it to the portfolio.
LUNR could be the next "hot" stock with many contracts and missions to set up sustainable life on the moon and other planets.
KRUS seems like a unique way to play changing food habits in the US and it not readily replicable at home. The recent pullback has me interested.
We all know theaters had a great Q4 but CNK keeps going down basically daily. It is clearly the thought that movies on the big screen will show long term declines. It is a candidate for me to sell but the RSI has me sticking around for the Q4 print for now.
Bitcoin is so volatile but every time MSTR buys, the price spikes. I think limited supply is creating a dynamic of scarcity, and the recent profit taking bouts may have shaken the last medium-term sellers. I continue to be interested but don't know if I have enough room for all the ideas...

Hi Saleem,
Ok...I did a few things:
Sold CRNC @ 12.94
I wanted to enter a different speculative stock and I'm not sure exactly how much the "expanded partnership" with NVDA actually means.
Trimmed ATOM and PLNT down to normal size (they got just slightly bigger which was all I needed in terms of extra cash to make some moves)
Bought LITE @ 96.90 and LUNR @ 22.10 for reasons mentioned above
