US stock market in sector rotation mode....

 US stock market in 2026 is your " Daddy's market "

NIFTY FIFTY is ruling again.....

Industrials are IN...

Energy in vogue

Financials are hot

Semiconductors are hot again....

Metals are surging

What a change in profile of this market.....

Some of us including me are having tough time adjusting to this new reality.....

All of the above look overbought as I write.....

Maybe a better entry point may come I hope....

Here is how my last week ended :

Last week  Down 2.15%

YTD                UP 3.53%

Here is my weighting on 60% exposure :

GGLL          36.93%

AAPL.NE    31.22%

TSLL           22.54%

HOOD.NE   9.31%

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

  3. Hi Saleem/Simon,

    I didn't write up my weekly recap yet, but my main short-term fear is 10-yr rates rising, and today it's not getting any better, so my inclination is to sell a little more actually....

  6. Hi Saleem,

    Last week: +3.15% (YTD: +25.65%)
    Portfolio Leaders: RKLB(sold) PDYN QBTS(sold) NNOX ANRO
    Portfolio Laggards: FATN GLUE

    In another good week for the portfolio, echoing the gains in the Russell 2000, the strength was broad-based with many of last year's laggards becoming new winners. I am trying to stay patient after some very large moves to start the year, focusing more on any upcoming catalysts than the fierce price action, seeing as how many winners of last year just kept running and running with hardly a pause. A lot of my names are future growth stocks so this earnings season shouldn't be particularly insightful, and often it presents opportunities to buy on dips. I am paying extra attention to charts this year and trying to not get into slow burn traps (like FATN). My one current concern with a small growth stock rally is the rise in long term rates, and paired with the year-high investor sentiment, led to me to raising some cash for potential dips that may occur.

    Portfolio: ANRO GLUE ASPI PDYN QMCO BFLY NNOX FATN, cash 36%

  7. Hi Saleem,

    Bought RKLB @ 89.35
    Bought AEVA @ 19.05
    Bought SKYT @ 34.29
    Bought SANA @ 4.64

    I think a huge down day like this is indicative of a strong bull market, so I use full cash to buy strong stocks.

  10. Hi Saleem,

    Shifted a little from BFLY GLUE to AEVA ASPI PDYN SKYT to look towards upcoming future catalysts versus recent past ones.

  13. Hi Salem & Stocktrader,

  14. Hi Saleem,

    Trimmed a little PDYN as it bumps against resistance
    Trimmed a little BFLY on the big pop off support
    Added small to QMCO as I feel the preannouncement didn't get as much pop as it should have and wonder if the conference call might showcase the year better
    Added small to SKYT on the dip

    All of these trades are still around the edges as some names pop - I still have all positions in the relatively same position sizing (8-10% of portfolio) except FATN which is half size
