US Stock market, No easy sailing into year end....

 US stock market has entered a very difficult year end setup....

AI chips which created so much demand and excitement is creating " most uncertainty "

China has its own AI chips thus does NOT need or want NVDA " latest & greatest "

Lack of Chinese Sales which is the worlds biggest market for AI leaves a huge " shortfall going forward Which MAY trigger selling in " key stocks "

Try to diversify away from yesterday's dream stocks.....

Please do your OWN homework going forward as time is against you as old mindset will not create gains....

Here is how my week ended after all the trades which I did in AH Friday.....

Sold GGLL @ $82.77 AH

Sold BBAI @ $6.05

Last week Down 8.17%

YTD             UP 61.25%

Here is my weighting on 36% exposure on house money :

TSLL      46.11%

RIOT      27.72%

AAPL     21.65%

AMD        4.52%

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Good luck with new adds! The damage has been intense but we've been through periods like this before - volatility breeds opportunity!

Hi Saleem,

Last week: -16.07% (YTD: -35.34%)
Portfolio Leaders: none
Portfolio Laggards: all

As the S&P remained flat on the week, under the surface was much turmoil. The darlings of just a month ago endured their worst week yet and we've somehow gone from extremely overbought to extremely oversold in just a few weeks, but that is the nature of the market sometimes. I don't have much to add here, but I do feel like long term valuations on my stocks are appropriate here, so I stick with the trades despite the pain, and expect catalysts next year to propel them higher.

Holdings: AIP PONY OCC AEVA ASPI BKSY FATN, cash 0%

Hi Stocktrader & Simon

Market is difficult and may remain so until AI risks are flushed out.

Keep a very close eye on your portfolio…for a very quick action!

Good luck with the swap and some Google 2x bull!

It's a good portfolio - just need some positive price action to start up now! Many are 2026 stories so hopefully they can just keep heading up after bottoming here.
