Look Back, Trade Forward| review in August, planning for September

As August draws to a close, let's look back at this month's trading and judgments: which ones were right? Which ones are worth rethinking? Share your August trading review and September investment plans, making every review a starting point for the next better decision.

September Trading Plan: Fewer Trades, Better Decisions

August ended with the major indices looking strong, but I do not see that as an all-clear signal for September. Under the surface, the picture is less comfortable. Market participation has narrowed, small caps have lost momentum, and industrials and transports are beginning to weaken. At the same time, long-term bond yields remain elevated, creating pressure for rate-sensitive areas such as real estate, utilities and regional banks. My conclusion is simple: September is not the month to carry weak positions out of hope or force trades because cash feels unproductive. ## September seasonality is a filter, not a prediction September has a reputation for being difficult, particularly in the second half of the month. I am not treating that historical pattern as an automatic sell signal. Season

Ideas for 2 Sep 2026

The rise in global bond yields and geopolitical tensions underscore a shifting macroeconomic landscape. With the U.S. national debt expanding, higher yields increase sovereign borrowing costs, highlighting fiscal sustainability challenges. Managing risk during this transition involves evaluating how inflation and debt pressures impact market stability. $iShares Short Treasury Bond ETF(SHV)$   $SPDR Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF(BIL)$   A neutral approach focuses on capital preservation and diversification. Shorter-duration assets offer liquidity without long-term interest rate risk, while selective commodity or value exposure hedges against inflation. This maintains flexibility as fiscal pol
Ideas for 2 Sep 2026
Look Back, Trade Forward | Reflect on August, Plan for September August was a month worth looking back on, not just because of the numbers, but because of the lessons, discipline, and small wins along the way. I’m grateful for the opportunity to earn a few thousand dollars through my trades last month. These wins are more than just P&L on a screen, they’re slowly becoming future vacation funds, a reminder that consistent execution can create something meaningful beyond the market. One of the things I enjoyed most last month was taking the time to share the Iron Condor as a playbook, breaking down the idea of defined risk, positioning, probability, and patience. Writing about the strategy also made me reflect on my own process. Sometimes, teaching what you trade helps you understand you

August Review, September Playbook: The Month That Tested Every Conviction.

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$   $Micron Technology(MU)$   $SK hynix(SKHY)$   August 2026 was not a month. It was a stress test. In the span of four weeks, the market experienced its sharpest single-day crash of the year, a record high close, a Warsh hawkish shock, an NVDA blowout, a China memory threat, and a SanDisk Investor Day that rewrote the NAND story permanently. If your positions survived all five of those in sequence and you still have conviction, you have earned it. If you did not, August just taught you something worth learning before September. Here is the honest review, and the September pla

 Caution for all who wants to ride the AI rainbow.. check the companies' p/e ratio... very few will be able to live up to the promise if their p/e ratio is way above industry norm. You will know what I am talking about with the recent not-so-rosy posts on SPCX & AMD. Choose wisely.

Some software like $AppLovin Corporation(APP)$   and $Oracle(ORCL)$  also have not recover.  Lastly, $Alibaba(BABA)$  also dropped after earnings. Insiders bought.  All these stocks can buy for September 

Could the U.S. Treasury’s Aggressive Market Support Backfire? Three Ways to Track the Current Market

Last night, in a futures livestream on the Tiger platform, I shared my latest views on the movements of gold, equity indices, and the U.S. dollar following the U.S. Treasury’s announcement on Treasury bond purchases. The core of this session was how to assess, through correlations across different asset classes, whether the market has shifted from a range-bound environment into a new trend phase.

Navigating the S&P 500 Pullback: AI Earnings Catalysts, Broad-Market Rally Dynamics, and Options Strategies for All-Time Highs

The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ S&P 500 index recently pulled back toward the 5,675 mark (noting that references to levels near 7,675 reflect speculative forward projections rather than actual market milestones). This movement comes after reaching historic all-time highs, prompting investors to evaluate whether the recent dip represents an ideal entry point or a tactical trap. 1. Deconstructing the Pullback: Market Context & AI Catalysts When an index like the S&P 500 reaches record territories and subsequently retrenches to key reference levels — such as major moving averages or previous breakout zones—it tests structural market sentiment.

Red Flags on US Market & Reports ?

For week ending Fri, 21 Aug 2026, US stock market rally bent but didn't break - a disaster week, if I could say so. All the key indexes fell below their 21-day moving averages on Thu, 20 Aug 2026 with the Nasdaq also closing below its 04 Aug 2026’s follow-through day low — a highly bearish signal that the market rally will ultimately fail. The indexes rose modestly on Friday, with all except Nasdaq regaining their 21-day lines. For the week: (see above) DJIA : -0.75% (-386.10 to 53,277.01). The Dow is posting back-to-back weekly losses. S&P 500 : -1.49% (-116.31 to 7,674.37). Nasdaq : -2.26% (-604.20 to 26,180.46). In the wake of the latest market drawdown, Verdence Capital Advisors, founder & CEO, Leo Kelly thinks US equities could see even more losses, a slide toward correction t

The S&P500 Peak Paradox: Are We Rocketing to 8500 Or Is It A Trap?

🌟🌟🌟The S&P 500 has blasted through the stratosphere to reach new spectacular all time highs.  With global bond yields hovering new multi decade highs, investors face a defining choice: Are we looking at a permanent mainline offensive breakout, or is a violent correction lurking around the corner? How High Can the S&P500 Go?  Target 8000, 8500 or a Pullback? The bullish analysts on Wall Street argues that treating the current breakout as a standard, overextended bubble is a mistake.  Their reasons are: The AI Productivity Moat:  Premier research desks at Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan indicate that if corporate investments in AI infrastructure successfully trigger an efficiency wave across non tech sectors, the S&P 500 index commands an uninterrupted runway towar

Cooling inflations, Time to buy the Dip ?

For week ending Fri, 14 Aug 2026, US market performance could at best be described as “mixed”. Overall, the week reflected a classic “good news is good news” dynamic: cooling inflation & steady earnings supported valuations. Soft activity data capped upside and prompted a modest Friday pullback from record highs. By the time market called it a week: DJIA: -0.36% (-340.25 to 53,732.41). S&P 500: +0.44% (+34.02 to 7,785.76). Crossed the 7,800 mark for the 1st time on Thu, 13 Aug 2026. Nasdaq: +0.18% ( +48.72 to 26,729.16). Eked out its 3rd weekly gain in a row, ending the week higher marginally. Weekly Catalysts. Catalysts that have either lifted / dampened market sentiments include: Cooling inflation.

Cooling inflations, Time to buy the Dip ?
S&P 500 reaching another record high is exciting, but I don’t think a new high automatically means it’s time to buy aggressively. There are plenty of reasons to remain optimistic. Many of the largest companies in the index continue to report strong earnings, while AI, cloud computing and other technology trends are creating new opportunities for businesses. If corporate earnings continue to grow, today’s expensive-looking valuations could look more reasonable several years from now. Still, I think investors should be careful about getting caught up in the excitement. Markets don’t move higher in a straight line, and periods of strong momentum can make it easy to underestimate the possibility of a correction. Buying simply because everyone else is making money can be a dangerous strateg

The S&P 500 just closed at another all-time high. So should we chase the rally or wait for a pullback?

I think both choices miss the more interesting trade. When an index hits a record, I do not automatically ask, “Is the market too expensive?” I ask: What has NOT returned to its high, even though its fundamental story has improved? Right now, two names stand out to me: Micron and SanDisk. That gap between price recovery and fundamental recovery is my Pick Level. 🧭 First, Why Is the S&P 500 at a Record? The Aug 13 record was not simply FOMO. July PPI was flat month on month versus the 0.2% rise economists expected, helping calm fears of another near-term Fed hike. Treasury yields eased and technology shares helped push the S&P 500 to a record 7,798.99. Meanwhile, the AI investment cycle remains alive. That combination matters: Cooling inflation → less rate pressure → lower discount-
