My positions have always been conviction in value when I buy but following the momentum when it comes to selling. The high can get higher with momentum and I like to sell into strength to take profit. When prices drop, I buy based on conviction in value that the stock will turnaround when the macro conditions are right again and as the fundamentals are sound, there should be no reason for collapse.
The biggest risk for this rally is that it is dependent on a singular macro that is the war. Yet, the events surrounding it changes quickly and tend to be over the weekend when the market is closed. As it is, the strait of Hormuz is closed again after the announcement of it being open all across the same weekend. Defensive value stocks yield too little returns and too slowly for my risk appetite. So, I predominantly buy high beta tech or software stocks. These stocks can only get more relevant and needed in the future and the growth potential is there.
S&P 500 Hits 7100: Should We Take Profits or Hold Longer?
The S&P 500 has pushed above 7,120 as Trump extended the Iran ceasefire while Pakistan pushed for another round of talks, but Tehran still says it will not negotiate under pressure.
That is why this rally feels tricky: geopolitics cooled just enough for stocks to rip, yet the peace path still looks fragile and headline-driven. After such a sharp rebound, do you trim here or stay with the breakout?
Is this a cleaner risk-on reset, or just another relief rally built on unstable diplomacy?
With market at new highs, should we sell or hold?
Can S&P 500 reach 7500 this year?
