      Figured I would review my portfolio, get it over with first thing and move on with my day. But alas, everything in my portfolio is green. NVDA, PLTR, TSLA, AAPL, all green, WMT just about even. Energy stocks are up, I don’t own any , but I thought that was interesting and perhaps expected.

      Another lesson on why it’s nearly impossible to predict the markets. Stick to your models, calibrate your risks,  ride out the rough patches, take profits when you hit record highs, and don’t panic. I’m no expert in anything other than real estate, consumer credit behavior, USC Football and good steaks, but that’s my opinion. Good luck everyone.

      I think you need to lick Donald’s boots and say thank you.

      Good advice Big Balls. As you know I’ve been a longtime shareholder of AAPL and NVDA so it’s good to see green today in what started out as a shaky pre market this morning.
      My other two holdings are Dell which popped big Friday, still off its all time high as well as Vertiv a company that manufactures cooling units specifically designed for Nvidia’s data centers. These are the only four companies I own outright with everything else in ETF’s and funds.

      Looking at the Market, the S&P and Nasdaq really haven’t made any headway since October. The sideways movement for the S&P 500 the last four months might likely be the exhaustion of upward momentum in large technology stocks. Those companies represent such a big percentage of the index now. I know that sounds weird after just saying I own some technology stocks, but the purchases were made over five years ago. Otherwise the market internals look pretty good.

      The tech heavy Nasdaq achieved its all time high of 23958 on Oct 29th. Every subsequent rally has failed. Investors continue to add leverage to their accounts, FINRA reported margin debt balances reached another record high of $1.3 trillion in January up quite a bit from the year before. No telling when the market may turn lower but, this increasing level of margin debt will accelerate the pace of the decline as leveraged investors are forced to sell. This of course is all the nonsense I like to check on when in fact the market will do whatever the market wants to do right? LOL
