US stock market facing juvenile zig zag.....

 US stock market has a new challenge, how to deal with juvenile behavior.....

SO day 1 we were sharply LOWER

Day 2 saw REBOUND

Not an exact formula for Wall & Broad

BUT here we stand in between " new scuffle "

SO which sector performed....SILVER was the best sector...

AAPL has reached " SHOW ME AI " stage on Monday....

AI is going through from " THEORY to APPLICATION stage "

AI is transitioning from Hardware to Software implementation.....

AI real world impact needs to be seen & felt NOW....

Q4 will be real test for AI Application / implementation.....

There is a good chance that we MAY see new highs before much needed downward move....

Enjoy the ride UP

BUT...be ready for a dive after that....

Here was my last week :

Last week UP 3.99%

YTD UP         17.50% 

Here is my smaller 70% portfolio weighting :

SHOP       26.65%

GOOG     20.92%

ABX        19.76%

AAPL     18.08%

MSFT      9.88%

SMCI      4.71%

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Last week: +2.49% (YTD: -19.36%)
Portfolio Leaders: UPST PSNL TTMI AVAV
Portfolio Laggards: PONY

In a strong week for the markets, the portfolio did well also. One small blemish (PONY -28%) kept the returns down some, but overall the names are performing positively. Strong charts are being rewarded and sprinkles of "better-than-feared" every day seems to bring money off the sidelines. From here I think the market grinds higher, but many individual names will get stretched from time to time, and so I think a rotating buy list could prove useful. I continue to look for specific individual stories, with charts that confirm that story, and potential catalysts ahead still. As we approach the halfway point to the year, we should soon see companies start to be valued on anticipated '26 earnings, which could provide a necessary fuel to further upside. Potential concerns include a delayed impact on consumer spending and inventory issues from previously announced/enacted tariffs, and a weakening of the job market eventually as companies look to become more "efficient" in a moderately slower growth and AI world.

Holdings (after sale today): UPST AVAV FEIM III SNAP OSIS RZLV PSNL SSYS PONY FATN, cash 10%

Hi Simon,

Not all trades are going to work - we were plenty patient and it just didn't pan out. Time to allocate the funds toward a stock that's working! :)
