March 9, 2026 - My Favourite Setups $LITE $MU $SNDK $AAOI $COHR $BE $TER $PLTR UC&R, + RS. My portfolio was already oozing green when the index was still down by more than 1%. It is as though the market has a different plan for me, or just mocks at my slightest bearish thought about the index going much lower. Anyway, it didn't manage to confuse me. I know who I am and what I want, and if it wants to tango, I will tango. On one hand there is this investor part of me. I am not an "all cash" guy, the 2025 Tariff Debacle has taught me that, where I just felt out of place with zero position. And I honestly think one year from now, most likely, most of my stocks will be at a higher level than my exit price. Investor buy business at value, while traders trade charts for profits. On the other hand, if the market is going lower, it only seems prudent to sell some, preserve capital, and buy them back later at lower price when things are more certain. The thing is no one knows how things are going to unfold, especially when the catalyst is a big macro event, with the power to make decision in the hand of one big man. My balance involves considering how much of which name I am prepared to hold for a longer timeframe as position trade/ investment. This consists of the core portion with huge profit cushion e.g. $LITE with purchase cost $346, $MU below $220, and $SNDK $252. The profit cushion lend me the both the courage and patience to hold just a little bit longer. Outside of this, are swing portions that I am currently managing stops closely. e.g. today's 15-30min opening range low would be a clear line in the sand, with the flexibility to exit at resistance or raise stops to the then HL. Quick comments on my stocks: 1. $LITE - UC&R 21ema 2. $MU - UC&R 50sma, bullish engulfing 3. $SNDK - Reclaimed 21ema, bullish engulfing 4. $AAOI - UC&R 5sma, bullish engulfing 5. $COHR - UC&R 21ema 6. $BE - UC&R 50sma 7. $TER - retested 50sma, bullish engulfing 8. $PLTR - sandwiched between 50sma at top, and 5smaat the bottom Lastly just my journal and my thoughts, you should have your own plan and process, most importantly know yourself.
This move on BTC is a trap, I plan on going short anticipating a rejection / failed close above the 50 EMA. Sizing in incrementally with staggered limit orders. Thesis: — Volume heavy on right-side prior to breakout (supply still present) — First test of 50 EMA rarely fulfills a sustained move higher — This move is a draw of retail hope anticipating the bottom being in, paired with base counting suggesting another leg lower is evident to fulfill 4-5 bases lower in a cycle (William O’Neal)
One mistake I'd often make was waiting for the indexes to look perfect before getting back in. Over time, you realise the leaders will push out and move long before the index. That waiting will lead you to miss them. This doesn't mean you buy 10 names on any green day during pullbacks and corrections, but pay close to the names that are consistently resisting selling pressure...

Aha-ah… You may say I’m a stock picker But I’m not the only one” Based on John Lennon’s “Imagine” , Francesco Parrino’s piano sheet and Mark’s 1 minute 39 seconds long advice.
