US stock market in 2026....

 US stock market in 2026 will be challenging & difficult....

The way 2025 is ending, US stock market is giving a clear signal that " technology stocks are taking a back seat and barely moving "

What IS moving.....many sectors except Technology/ AI/ Data center/ Security

Silver is the new king.....

Gold remains in high gear...

Copper moving on UP

Platinum here I come

Financials strong

I am sure everyone knows about strong stocks.....BUT is afraid to come out of their " own comfort level "

Being comfortable is not a trading strategy or Investment philosophy

Bottom line IS...IF you are not going to adapt to new thesis, brace for a losing year....

Here is how my last week ended :

Last Week UP 1.52%

YTD         UP 84.45%

Here is my weighting on 56.29% exposure :

GGLL         35.70%

AAPL.NE  21.82%

ZEQT.TO  19.13%

UBER.NE 11.19%

HOOD.NE11.14%

TSLL         1.02% 

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Last week: -2.18% (YTD: -26.48%)
Portfolio Leaders: GLUE
Portfolio Laggards: OCC FATN ANRO QBTS ASPI

Today I finished selling the rest of OCC and added to other positions.

Current Portfolio: RKLB QBTS GLUE AIP ANRO ASPI FATN, cash 0%

I am much more concentrated than usual, but there's no other standout names for me right now that I feel still have room to run. The first few days of the new year should be interesting...

Hi Saleem,

The first days of the new year are often when stocks that have good 2026 prospects but hit snags in 2025 finally see some flows as the calendar resets. I look to see if ASPI (and potentially FATN but I'm less optimistic generally about the long-term prospects here) can be one of those.

Hi Stocktrader,

Market is always challenging, some year more than others, 2026 looks like a tougher market.

Good luck with your strategy and selection of stocks !
