To The Moon

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ Wishing everyone a solid trading week. I'll be focused on options around volatility and earnings. Had a great run with VZ last week and looking for that to continue. Also watching NOW and CRCL for upside.

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $Apple(AAPL)$ $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ Trump seems to be running a simple playbook: push the stock market higher for Americans, which raises wealth and spending, fueling the economy and GDP, and makes the US the hottest economy on the planet. At the same time, try to lower inflation by getting oil prices down. The way it's set up, it looks like a win-win for both Americans and Wall Street.

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ I'm fully long here, but futures have a habit of being misleading most of the time.

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$  It's interesting to see how the market reacts. A stock goes up a few points, and the bulls are just sitting back, relaxed. Then it dips by a fraction, and suddenly the bears are celebrating like they've won the war.

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ If we see $760 by the end of the week, Google could really take off.

$Intel(INTC)$ I was thinking it might drop back to the $20 or $30 range.

There's been a series of incredibly bullish AI headlines, data points, commentary, and actual earnings results for the company and companies across the broader ecosystem over the past several months to a year. Meanwhile, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ 's share price and $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ 's performance are what they are.

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ Using weekend Wall Street moves to predict Monday's market is a bit like using Monopoly money to forecast forex. It might point in the right direction, but it's not the real thing.

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$  Here's my take on the market. I believe we're still in a bull market, and I think the major indices will finish 2026 higher than current levels. I also expect the semiconductor sector to perform well for the rest of the year, with names like NVDA and AVGO ending 2026 above where they are now. However, I'm less convinced that some of the high-momentum names that have pulled back will fully recover this year. On my end, I'm holding my semiconductor positions, managing some of those momentum holdings, and gradually building positions in companies I believe are positioned to be AI winners. I'm also looking for shorter-term trading opportunities and aiming to exit those quicker.

$Intel(INTC)$  I'm getting the sense there could be a quick relief bounce before any further downside. I'm watching for a potential reversal around the 92 - 94 range. We might see that move play out soon.
