US stock correction may have subsided for NOW....

 US stock market has gone through " rotational correction " which has subsided for now

Every sector has been corrected from Bit coin, Gold Silver, Mag 7, SOXX, Financials...you name it

We have corrected for the most part...

SO

Where are we headed next ?

A little reprieve now & then and then back to volatility...a fancy name for pullbacks

2026 remains a " very difficult TAPE "

There are NO easy way out of a " Bear Market 2026 "

I am trying to adapt within my know how of few sectors

Here is how my last week ended:

Last week UP 5.70%

YTD      Down 9.15%

Here is my weighting on 75% exposure :

GGLL      49.43%

TSLL       15.56%

GLDU      14.22%

HOOD       8.79%

BTCC        8.40%

ZMIC         3.60%

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Last week: +1.10% (YTD: +3.69%)
Portfolio Leaders: NNOX NN GLUE RKLB ANRO SANA
Portfolio Laggards: QBTS AEVA FATN

As the market stabilized, so did the portfolio, gaining moderately on the week. We face ongoing challenges from the effects on AI on some areas of tech and the continued drift lower of bitcoin, but many of the down openings were finally bought and the tame 10-yr is providing support to stocks. There are still more interesting earnings to come from the portfolio as many small cap stocks report in coming weeks and I hope to see some progress on future prospects, which given that the stocks have declined from the peaks, should hopefully provide a positive backdrop post-earnings. I'm still in wait-and-see mode for many names, but look for the general market to grind higher as AI brings efficiencies, i.e. higher profit margins.

Holdings: NN ANRO PDYN SANA GLUE RKLB QBTS NNOX AEVA BFLY ASPI FATN, cash 0%

Hi Saleem/Simon,

Big day tomorrow for my portfolio: QBTS BFLY earnings before open, AEVA RKLB earnings after close.

Hi Saleem,

Over half my charts have MACD crossovers either recent or imminent - it feels like we are entering a fresh upturn.

Hi Stocktrader,

Thank you for BFLY recommendation $$$$$. Hopefully, AEVA RKLB follow suit tonight :-).

I don't know if I should sell my FATN. The company reminds me of ZENV.

I am slowly selling as I mentioned before - the price action tells you everything you need to know.

stocktrader_1996 said...

Thank you!

stocktrader_1996 said...

Hi Saleem/Simon,

Sold ~40% BFLY @ 4.74 to bring it back down to normal size.

Stocktrader

stocktrader_1996 said...

Both AEVA and RKLB may have quarterly hiccups as revenue is pushed forward, but both are buys on the dip unless there's something more materially worng.

stocktrader_1996 said...

Hi Saleem,

Added small to existing positions to bring up weightings overall with the BFLY profits. RKLB remains my "easiest" long term idea as the technology is proven and only lumpy launch schedules brings volatility. Every other company in the portfolio has some technology/market positioning to prove still even if they are on good paths.

Thank you Salem!

Hi Stocktrader,

Good luck with RKLB & AEVA tonight.

Simon

stocktrader_1996 said...

The 4pm news from AEVA scares me for the quarter, but again, is likely a buy after a drop.

stocktrader_1996 said...

Ok, preliminary results and guidance tell me both are a buy here.

stocktrader_1996 said...

AEVA potentially more immediate upside.

Stock Rookie said...

Thank you for the valuable research StocktraderšŸ™
