US stock market slump continues as war drags on...
No one talking victory anymore BUT counting how long war goes ON...
All the bravado is gone, reality setting IN
This war could drag on lot longer....
Hyper inflation could be sticky this time...
Technology / AI falling like stone....
Energy is the only " standout "
Gold may have found support after relentless selling from Middle East to shore up capital

US stock market has tanked below 200 DMA which is a major support line...
The question IS.....
Will we move above 200 DMA???
Based on all " rhetoric ".....looks very slim....
Might is Right has not worked despite " bombastic claims "
Everyday " new threat of OBLITERATION " does not hold water.....
War & adventure does not go hand in hand....
$2000 drones are doing more damage than $200 million F36.....welcome to AI warfare.....
Looks like more days of warfare continues....
Stay put with your best ideas in a well diversified format.....

US stock market is facing " war impact "
Much is known about this war, everyone has been declaring victory from Hour 1, BUT it keeps going & going with " repeat victory declaration "
TRUTH is the biggest casualty of any war....
Sad part is " everyone loses more than it wants to admit "
US stock market is trying to " digest & discount " war damage to world economy, which is lower GDP growth and higher inflation....
Most damage is known to the market BUT still " major uncertainty remains "
A well diversified portfolio generally recover faster than " concentrated "
Anything which has been sold off should recovers the-most, conversely anything which shot UP should come down....

US stock market is " feeling the brunt of war "
We are below 50 DMA ....
Heading fast towards 200 DMA support
Most stocks are breaking down
War is never fun for markets specially IF it DRAGS ON
From every indication, it looks pretty bad....
Stock market has & will suffer more....
Only savior of this market could be the mediator role of China IF it intervenes in this capacity....
In the meantime brace for more bloodshed & mayhem ....

US stock market faced a new problem to digest & discount, that is IRAN......
In war nothing is predictable
Many new possibilities may happen which has not been factored IN...
Like a new " deadly weapon " which may come into play.....
OR an escalation no one was prepared for....
War creates " desperation "
While these factors are being discounted, we may have a " positive close " in Nasdaq....nothing is fair on Wall St or WAR
SO fasten your seatbelt for a sharply lower open and new highs on GOLD & SILVER

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

US stock market is completely different in 2026....
US stock market averages not telling the true picture...
US stock market broadest index S&P 500 is @ new high....
While Nasdaq is taking it on the chin.....
Many stocks are in a bear market territory which IS DOWN 20% or more...
This S&P 500 vs Nasdaq divergence is the first time I have observed since 1970....
Software stocks has been trashed due to AI intrusion....
Magnificent 7 is struggling @ best, they are meant to be AI King....
AI as a concept stocks are NOT doing well...
Many portfolios are down big time based on yesterday's success stories...
2026 remains a painful challenging story, hard to figure out success path in this confusing TAPE.....

US stock market saw wave of Tsunami selling, It was relentless where most stocks got trashed, AI or NO AI, Tech or no Tech, It was brutal......
BUT it created many many opportunistic situation to make money....
It allowed everyone to understand RISK in this TAPE, an investment 101 teaching...
This volatility is NOT over.....
2026 may go down as most volatile market in recent memory...
2026 is separating winners from losers in every sector....
Winners / leaders will be rewarded BUT laggards will be punished ...
Sloppy choices needs to be avoided, select on facts and trendlines only....

US stock market has gone through a major transformation, only a huge beat & great guidance making the-desired list, rest promptly fail to impress anyone...
Normal beat does not cut it anymore.....
Why this change in market sentiment, because every stock was bid up before based on hope & actual result....NOW they want MORE....MUCH MORE to justify lofty PE....
SO its going to be tough going blind in this TAPE...
Stock market never remains the same more so after 3 year of relentless upside
Storage & Memory stocks are in their own bubble......look @ Silver one day slump of 30% should be a wakeup call to anyone in any sector....

US stock market is entering a critical week which may determine where AI winners & losers are...
META MSFT TSLA reports on Wednesday
AAPL reports on Thursday
META will set the tone on " spending craziness "
MSFT may update on Open AI comings & going as one of the leading investor
TSLA may update on Robo Taxi & Robotix numbers which may ignite interest in stock...
AAPL is the wild card of AI, will they or wont they announce any new AI deployment.....
Geo-political tension remains high thus Gold & Silver still in UPTREND
There are too many variables in investment scenario thus hard to position properly....
Its a " wait & see " game for me...too many uncertainty investment thesis wise.....

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....

US stock market in 2026 is like a "normal market "
What is a normal market, It IS like 8%+- gain for the year
YES some stocks will be above range which may be news driven
No more frenzied doubling by many ideas stocks, It IS all in the stocks now
SO....
IF you have a well researched, balanced portfolio you should end the year in 8% +++ range
Make sure you show " conviction & patience "
NO more " reactive switching daily "
Reduce your stress level by sticking to your ideas.....

US stock market has started its 2026 run......
Old stocks are new....
New stocks are old...
New & Old are ideas....
2026 looks like a mixed bag of laggards are going to be leaders
2025 leaders may be totally news driven and may trade in a narrow range
2026 US stock market may turn out to be " most frustrating " for formula driven trading...
Technicals may rule " daily trading "
SO 2025 has ended....
Good to review " reasons for NOT matching indices results "
BE CRITICAL of your OWN trading style....
LEARN & CHANGE.....
