US stock market current status....

 US stock market is facing " war impact "

Much is known about this war, everyone has been declaring victory from Hour 1, BUT it keeps going & going with " repeat victory declaration "

TRUTH is the biggest casualty of any war....

Sad part is " everyone loses more than it wants to admit "

US stock market is trying to " digest & discount " war damage to world economy, which is lower GDP growth and higher inflation....

Most damage is known to the market BUT still " major uncertainty remains "

A well diversified portfolio generally recover faster than " concentrated "

Anything which has been sold off should recovers the-most, conversely anything which shot UP should come down....

Here is how my last week ended :

Last week UP 3.01%

YTD    Down 16.27%

Here is my weighting on 91.61% exposure :

GGLL        37.00%

AAPL        20.30%

TSLL        11.35%

GLDU      11.08%

BTCC         7.21%

HOOD       6.91%

ZMIC        6.15%

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

Sold ASPI @ 5.24

It just can't hold a gain no matter what the news or market action. I take my cues from the price signals and avoid a situation where it may just drift down all year.

Hi Saleem,

Last week: -0.95% (YTD: +9.22%)
Portfolio Leaders: ANRO(sold) AEVA NN NSSC
Portfolio Laggards: PDYN GLUE NNOX ASPI

In another down week for the markets, the portfolio slipped also, despite some bright spots in specific stocks. Investor concerns/fear remains high and bearish sentiment is now firmly entrenched (AAII sentiment gauge). The Iranian offensive with heightened oil prices, private capital issues due to cloud software disruptions, and future unemployment prospects due to AI agents are the major items, with one of these being temporary (Iran), one being contained/niche for now (private capital), and one being a much longer term issue that will likely play out slowly (unemployment). With all these concerns known and on the table, I think the risk for the market remains *higher* as we climb the wall of worry. As always, it is important to stick with strong stocks, ones that get a nice bid when the market does or ones that see relative strength even on down days -- in general, respecting the due diligence that the massive pool of investors have already done, through the consistency of price action, is a valid and profitable way to invest. Add on top of that a little of our own research and thoughts, and we approach a diversified and resilient portfolio.

Portfolio (current): RKLB AIP NNOX NSSC BFLY GLUE NN CODA PDYN AEVA, cash 9%

I was hoping to re-enter ANRO but waited for too much dip this morning and missed the run. Given the new financing moves and the runway of cash into 2028, it should be clear sailing pending future trial updates.
