US stock market, a week to remember....

 US stock market gave a stunning " downhill slide "

When all damages were counted to most portfolio, nothing got spared, from BRK-B...it was freefall of 7% to 15%......in a day.....

YES counting losses is extremely painful and no one was spared....

Reasons are never important....

It IS what are you going to do about it....

Many things can be done....

Like complete reconfigure your portfolio to hopefully better ideas....

OR partial switching of your portfolio

OR leave everything AS IS

I am in the last camp....leave my portfolio alone...

I am expecting a " sharp oversold bounce "

Generally after few days, we normally TEST the LOWS AGAIN....

Why I am leaving my portfolio unchanged....

BECAUSE It was all chosen after careful due diligence and have much higher CONVICTION than some other bright ideas....

YES these slump happens every NORMAL year.....so nothing unusual about this sharp decline.....

SO...follow your OWN instinct & stick to IT....

US stock market in 2025.....

 2025 has turned much more challenging than my " feared projection "

8% Gain was projected...BUT it has become a much larger losses which keeps piling...

NOT a comforting thought of the day....

On my personal front, First we had major Ice storm, which cut off electricity for 24 hours, thus no heat, no internet, no hot water....PLUS downed 5 trees in my backyard....which were 40 feet tall....

Then came end of Ramadan and our celebration which goes on for 3 days...... today is day 2 for us ....

Hope that explains NO BLOG on Sunday plus missing notification....

US stock market has discounted April 2nd trade levies.....

 US stock market has discounted April 2nd trade levies.....

Sometimes market can predict any & all changes which may take place..

Term " flexibility " is being thrown around...which may mean "partial reversal come April 2nd...

Too much mystery is being played out with this " trade " terminology which IS mostly made for TV...a self serving tool...for " look @ me "

No matter what...

US stock market can & will discount any " agenda "

Market has been " derailed " with all the " deliberate confusion "

It will take time to get its " momentum back "

Many good earnings report are being sold off....SO do not believe in " reaction " BE patient for few days and you will see that we are back to levels where we should have been....

SO show CONVICTION & PATIENCE..... a good trait in any market....

On a personal note, Googles compliance wing has been making many false accusation against this BLOG which exposes incompetence of that part of google, ironically I am a share holder of GOOG as my highest exposure...but those employees have NO accountability, previously they said the same things about my You tube channel which has ZERO video...that I am in violation of "community standards "....when I asked them which video they have seen on my channel.....then without apology or compensation for their filth, they restored access to my " blank youtube channel....

I am almost tempted to shut down this BLOG....because I have ZERO financial interest for last 17 years....only Google has benefitted financially from this BLOG...BUT their accusations is the last thing I need in my life when I am trying to " reduce stress due to my weak heart.....

Here is my last week :

Last week UP 1.73%

US stock market " ready to explode higher "

 US stock market has finished the-biggest price & PE compression since 2022....

We rallied from end of 2022 to end of 2024 in a straight line, defying GRAVITY & LOGIC

Frothier the stock we ran up to unbelievable levels several 100% higher & higher

NOW...all stocks have come down to realistic levels.....irrespective of all the hoopla associated with their business model....

SO

NOW we have a normal market for 2025.....where gains will be within historical norms of last 50 years

YES

Technology will still lead as it should.....based on...

AI

QUANTUM COMPUTING

BUT there is FEW major OBSTACLE which may create CHALLENGES
