Quick Update

Think a correction may have started Friday night.  In a bull market, it probably only lasts 2-3 days.  I'm at 15% net cash now, look to buy Monday and Tues.   15% cash is too much in a bull market.

  • Sold some Mag7 as they went up last night.  Before dropping into last night's close.
  • Bought a few more "high beta tech" ETFs as they corrected Friday midnight.  Junky stuff really, but they can fly in a high growth and/or inflation environment.  
  • Memory would be included in "high beta tech" above.  Already got a full position.
  • Wanted to sell oil (Var Energi) but woke up 10 mins after the Oslo stock exchange closed.
  • MSTR rose quite a bit Fri, now got a full short position.
  • Long term bonds are overbought, re-shorted TLT.  They should bounce (down) now, but keep this on a short leash see if/when high rate expectations begin to falter. 
  • Colombia has elections (tonight) Sunday: binary event, right or left.  One of my LATAM positions (2%) is a bet on this: it either flies or drops like a rock.

I would like to separate my trading and non-trading portfolios to measure performance separately, but in Interactive Brokers it affects the margin limits.  And I may want margin in years to come.

Separately I have:
  • Created a LLM wiki knowledge base to hold topics from investment related articles.  Mostly fundamental related stuff.  Its to keep track of articles/topics over the years.  May write about it after I've used it a few months.  AI makes it possible to specify things in English that could not be done before.
  • Been plotting Hedgeye's daily risk ranges onto charts, to be able to see trends and changes in trends easier.  Claude code makes scripting 10X faster.
