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 "

Here is my last week's results :

Last week UP 1.97%

YTD UP 7.87%

Here is my portfolio weighting :

GOOG          17.71%

SHOP           17.21%

AAPL              9.48%

AVGO             8.87%

NVDA             8.61%

TSLA              8.04%

SMCI              6.82%

MSFT             6.82%

BRK                6.09%

MU                 3.60%

BTCC             3.56%

RIOT              3.19%

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Last week: -1.26% (YTD: -6.52%)
Portfolio Leaders: CNK LITE OSIS
Portfolio Laggards: ODD KRUS PSNL

It was a small pullback week for the markets, and mixed action from the portfolio resulted in small declines. I continue to adjust the portfolio for traditional economy stocks as tech is highly volatile and perceived winners/losers fluctuate weekly (or the anointed winners are just outright expensive). Many of my companies report in the coming week and I look forward to hearing business conditions in their industries and specifically at their companies. After two strong years of market returns, the stock picking aspect should be more in play. The one aspect of the market that encourages me is that yields are creeping down despite the Trump tariffs and individual investor sentiment remains near year-lows which usually provides some fuel should nothing nefarious transpire.

Holdings: RBRK KRUS PUMP MHO MP OSIS CNK ODD, BMR ZENV PSNL, cash 0%

Continued well-wishes and prayers sent your way for health and happiness!
