$SOXX $SMH $MU $SNDK Every marathon ends with a sprint to the finish line







Things seem to happen much faster these days, likely speed of technology & news. Regardless why, the corrections are quicker & more violent and the moves up tend to feel the same. Even though the FTD just happened a month ago the gains are that of a4-6mo rally in a lot of names & indices. Just sharing my thoughts out loud here.

April 30th - Portfolio by size: $ADI 11% Profit taking day for me. We will see if that was a mistake. Saw a bunch of gap and fades on tech leaders. We have been straight up since April 8th so want to realize gains. With that said, I’m a buyer on pullbacks and constructive action. And that could be quick. $POWL earnings on Monday, up 8% today and extended from 21 EMA and 50 SMA so decided to book that one. Last trims were over 20% gain from cost basis. Thought I managed that one pretty well. I’ll go back and look at it. Seeing lots of rotations into things outside of the $QQQ like $XLI and $XLV. That’s a good thing for a longer term trend of the market.









April 29th - Portfolio by size: $CLS 26% $VRT 17% $NBIS 16% $ADI 11% $POWL 11% Made a lot of adjustments. Sold $MOD and $NBIS earlier in the day and then ended up buying them both back. $NBIS ripped from my entry so I kept that, but got rid of $MOD because not a big enough cushion to hold overnight. Want to be aware of my new exposure risk. Got a little add in $CLS and a little trim in $VRT this morning. Big tech earnings on deck after the close.
