US stock market & wait for pullback....

 US stock market is on a tear, reasons are many, but majority waits for pullbacks which seems to be further away....

What has guided me is, that momentum is the key....IF market keeps going UP & keeps making new highs, who are we to tell markets what to do....

US stock market has been UP for 3 straight years....BUT....

IF we look back in US stock market history, we can get guidance about current market....

In my opinion, we are almost like 1996.....AI, Quantum computing is bigger than Y2K....

Even Gold, Silver & crypto are sensing wealth making environment....

BUT some are wasting precious moment of " wealth creation " by " fighting this incredible TAPE "

Here is how my last week ended :

Last week UP 6.23%

YTD         UP 53.83%

Here is my weighting on 87% exposure :

AMD       39.05%

AAPL      37.43%

SHOP     12.51%

CRCL     11.01%

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

  3. Hi Salem,

    Thank you for the Sunday's blog. Awesome on the weekly gains and AMD.

    Just sold half of AMD and bought AEHR. Thank you Stocktrader for AEHR and Salem for AMD recommendation. Much appreciated to both.

  4. Hi Saleem,

    Ok, I finally got access to my account back today - it'd been glitched nearly all morning :(

    Bought CVCO @ 506.39 on the selloff

    I think it's related to Trump's call for the major homebuilders to build and for the FHFA to help, but I could be wrong. If it is that, then I think the selloff is well overdone or even unwarranted. It could also be some kind of anticipated funding round, but I'd be okay with that also.

    1. It could also be related to creditworthiness of borrowers just taking a quick look at some Twitter posts.

  5. Hi Saleem,

    Bought AEHR @ 32.08 ahead of earnings tonight

    I had wanted to buy much earlier today (congrats to Simon) but account glitches prevented a better execution price.

  6. Hi Saleem,

    Bought WGS @ 121.86 on good recent price action and new genomic screening intiatives

  7. Hi Saleem,

    Bought YOU @ 31.21 on this pullback

    As they continue to grab share at worldwide airports and potentially move into new verticals, I think there is room for both revenue and margin expansion. This pullback on air travel slowdown fears provides the opportunity.

  8. Bought SITM @ 321.14

    A great looking chart in a relatively unknown company, they make silicon timing solutions for an otherwise quartz-based timing market. Disrupting this market and making inroads in other adjacencies, they have room to grow.

  9. Hi Saleem,

    Bought PONY @ 23.72

    With continuing catalysts and no reason to be on the sidelines, I buy this back despite the RSI.

    1. Thank you. I made a mistake not entering last week, but the government shutdown only seems to make these stocks go up more...

  11. Hi Saleem,

    Bought BKSY @ 28.80

    The only name left on my buy list, I didn't want to play the "wait" game anymore. Any pullback shouldn't be more than 10% as the chart looks great overall but potentially extended. Alternately, it could just break out to new highs from here.

  12. Hi Saleem,

    I'll work on last week's numbers later but there isn't much to see considering I only had two positions.

    2. Hi Saleem,

      Last week: +2.15% (YTD: +2.76%)
      Portfolio Leaders: FATN LKNCY
      Portfolio Laggards: none

      It was a bounce higher for the markets and the portfolio did as well despite very reduced exposure. I was thinking overbought conditions and overly bullish sentiment might hurt stocks more, but many names took the opportunity to fly higher after a pause the week before. Rotations for days out of some names refreshes buying power in other names and so the bull market continues. I missed out on a few stellar old ideas, but I've tried to refresh the portfolio with some new names that have longer term growth trajectories and good charts, hoping that propels them in the final three months. I utilized all my cash today, potentially foolishly, but at least a few names are down from where I was first looking last week.

      Portfolio: LKNCY FATN YOU PONY BKSY CVCO AEHR WGS SITM, cash 0%
