US stock market in bull mode.....

 US stock market has finally gotten over Fed phobia, not all interest rate hikes are the same.

More clarification coming this week from Fed speak, stay tuned,

AI & Semis has completed its digestion / pullback / correction....all clear for now...

AI fear is @ its speak in terms of what it can do IF not properly placed in a " sandbox "

Many experts are debating potential controls which IS a good thing.

We should see a good October to January time in stock market based on historical trendline, increasing exposure may not be a bad idea.

Here is how my last week ended :

Last week               UP 20.44%

YTD                        UP 82.08%

Here is my weighting on 163% exposure :

GDXJ                          35.46%

AMDL                         29.38%

MU.TO                        11.69%

GGLL                            6.80%

MVLL                            6.79%

SNDU                            6.08% 

SPAX                             3.82%

Hi Saleem,

Congrats on the big week and even more this week!

Last week: +2.78% (YTD: -0.34%)
Portfolio Leaders: WGS BFLY AMBQ
Portfolio Laggards: NN ENPH AEVA

It was another down week for small caps as interest rates touched 5%, but the NASDAQ gained ground and the portfolio did also. I think the Fed rate hike sparked confidence in the market as a Fed acting appropriately brings comfort and investors could allocate funds anew. Additionally, some sober discussion surrounding AI development seemed to have put a bid back in many of those stocks. Add it all together and we have a nice mix for year end gains. I have kept my portfolio constant for a few weeks, satisfied with the diversity and composition, and look forward to the upcoming month to identify if I have the post-earnings winners needed to propel returns through December. My usual 52-wk high small cap list will probably start blossoming again, and I enjoy finding new names and ideas of companies just starting their growth journey.

Holdings: BFLY AMBQ RKLB WGS PONY AEVA ENPH NN NNOX(small), cash 0%
