  2. Hi Saleem,

    Sold ATOM @ 6.03 avg
    Sold BMR @ 3.48 avg

    In reviewing the portfolio, I felt I needed to sell the broken charts even if there's potential in the companies/products still, but with timeline that is unclear even if they do work out.

    Bought PRAX @ 84.60

    A strong chart in biotech, I used this opportunity to buy the dip. They have multiple Q1 catalysts and there's growing optimism for those developments.

    Added to TNA @ 43.89 earlier this morning as a placeholder until I find new ideas. I think the underlying economy continues to plug along while some of the inflationary effects may be abating which could provide a positive backdrop for the broader market and not just tech.

  4. Hi Saleem,

    Last week: +1.26% (YTD: -5.35%)
    Portfolio Leaders: ATOM KRUS CNK RBRK
    Portfolio Laggards: LYFT BMR ODD ZENV

    It was a modest week for the portfolio as the market overall gained also. A mixed bag of winners and losers was the backdrop as individual names and earnings were reported. I continue to see the economy overall as acting better than expected with a job market that remains very solid, allowing for consumer spending and confidence despite noise from Washington. Investor sentiment had gotten quite sour as some darlings fell from grace, and that could provide new fuel for the upside. I continue to favor general economy stocks versus the high value tech, but that trade has not quite worked out yet. I remain patient with my story stocks and await more data points ahead.

    Holdings (after today's moves): TNA (1.5x), RBRK PUMP KRUS MHO CNK UPST PRAX PSNL, ZENV (0.5x), cash 5%

    I have my eye on a new name, to be revealed later, that hopefully pulls back from its high so I can enter...

  6. Hi Saleem,

    Bought DAVE @ 112.91

    This was my new pick as a way for lower income customers to gain financial strength and freedom.

  7. Hi Saleem,

    Bought SERV @ 13.19

    I wanted to buy something "hot" on this dip in momentum stocks and I think this company has the most immediate upside as they gain traction in their autonomous mobile robots.

  8. Hi Saleem,

    Sold TNA @ 42.46 to raise cash

    Bought SOUN @ 10.81

    After a big pullback from the highs, I think the chart and valuation are more reasonable, and I expect continued catalysts and business momentum this year.

  12. Hi Stock Rookie,

    Yes, I am totally out now. After the strategic announcement I felt like the "good news" people had been waiting for was finally in the stock and the lack of liquidity was making me lose my mind sometimes. There's plenty of good stocks out there too so it's just not a necessary hold for me anymore despite some measure of undervaluation still.
