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 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.....
