Wars and geopolitical tensions are the ultimate game of chess.

Every move is calculated but more importantly, every move is made with the expectation of how the other side will respond.

“At an appropriate moment, we are fully LOCKED AND LOADED and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran!”

This is the latest post that come from Donald Trump this morning.

We got the ceasefire. We got the meeting. Then what?

Talks with Iran failed on the nuclear issue and in response, the U.S. is now preparing to take potential military action focused on the Strait of Hormuz. This comes after we had a 10% index wide rally in the indices.

Over the last few weeks we’ve seen key moving average reclaims with leaders, themes, and groups acting well. If you feel you missed the “bottom” just know if that was the bottom, there will be near endless opportunity ahead.

Could this “escalation” provide a pullback + higher low that could be a large part of said opportunity in the days and weeks ahead…?

In case you missed it, I’ve published three very important and timely articles.

  1. Identifying Market Bottoms Across Cycles

  2. How to Buy Stocks Near The Bottom

  3. When to Press the Gas

The methodology and ideology in these three articles is what led me to buy stocks over the last few weeks, before the big moves in the indices. I strongly suggest reading these if you have a chance.

I think these are three of my best and most important articles I’ve written since starting this Substack.

It’s not important to buy stocks at the very bottom, but it is important to notice character changes and shifts in the market + individual names. These three articles outline how you can do that effectively.

I also published my SpaceX IPO Playbook here where I discuss exactly what my plan is for the SpaceX IPO, how I plan to play the potential run up into the event, and much more. You can find it here.

I already added a position from this playbook that’s up nearly 10%, and based on the chart, I think there’s still more upside left.

In the remainder of this article I’m going to discuss my trading portfolio and plans for my holdings, the mega cap leader with massive AI tailwinds that may be on the verge of breaking out of a large base, data center stocks and the leading names within that group, and Nvidia.

I’ll also be discussing my favorite charts and setups, the overall market, key sentiment indicators that could offer clues on where we’re headed next, my plan in the event of a pullback, and more. Lots to discuss this week…
