After the past few weeks, it feels like we’re astronauts on the moon.

With the S&P 500 and Nasdaq back to all time highs like nothing happened, there are no shortage of ideas, themes, and narratives taking off.

The past month has been historic. For the second time in two years, we saw a self inflicted drawdown that culminated in one of the best buying opportunities we’ve seen this decade.

We were able to capitalize, and what’s coming next could be setting up the next great opportunity.

One of the major narratives set to drive this market is the upcoming wave of IPOs, some of the biggest public debuts we’ve seen in history.

SpaceX
OpenAI
Anthropic
Anduril
Databricks

In my view, the markets won’t put a top in until after these companies go public. They need the exit liquidity from retail + market euphoria.

Even then, they might not top out… either way, these IPOs are coming and liquidity needs to be running hot to absorb them. SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic will likely go public north of $1T in valuation.

The coming months will be filled with opportunity as the market awaits these behemoths entering public markets.

In case you missed it, I’ve published four 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

  4. How to Take Advantage of a Hot Market

The methodology and ideology in these four 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.

This past Thursday I also published an article outlining arguably my favorite technical setup and something I’ve discussed at length.

From compression comes expansion.

You can find it linked here.

I go over tons of examples including a few of my biggest trades, how you can spot this type of technical setup, how to enter, and much more. The next few weeks could present an opportunity to capitalize on this exact type of setup as we potentially pause/consolidate after this monstrous run off the lows.

I think these are five of my best and most important articles I’ve written since starting this Substack and I believe they’re not just timely, but timeless.

There’s lots to discuss and I’m excited to get into it.

In the remainder of this article I’m going to discuss my biggest AI infrastructure focus that I won’t be sharing publicly until I’ve had time to build the position, a new theme that just got a major catalyst and could turn into a quantum or nuclear type trade in 2026, the names I’m looking to accumulate in crypto, my favorite charts and setups, my trading portfolio including new positions, the overall market and my thoughts on the indices, sentiment indicators that could be giving a hint as to what happens next, and more.
