Good morning, and happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a wonderful day off and enjoyed a day full of rest and relaxation! $SPY is at a NEW ALL-TIME HIGH. I REPEAT, $SPY IS AT A NEW ALL-TIME HIGH. Market conditions are looking strong, traders are optimistic, and I am ready for us all to have a fantastic time.

Thoughts & Comments from Last Week
Last week was a relatively slower week for the markets with a significant amount of neutrality, but we watched as $INTC rallied beautifully $SPY made a new all-time high, and opportunities to realize gains were amongst us. I was very excited about trading last week, and I hope you all were too because it was a great time with opportunities consistently presented to us!
So, we started the week with $SPY trading at $603.96. Conditions were looking strong at the beginning of the week, but we essentially stayed neutral throughout the next two days, where $SPY was at $605 at close on Tuesday. I wish there were more to be said about those conditions, but unfortunately, there really wasn’t much that happened. On Wednesday, we watched as the markets dumped quickly on CPI data, but thankfully, everything was recovered throughout the rest of the day, and the markets started to heat up on Thursday.
That is where the general market conditions did start to get a little bit more fun, as markets rallied during the pre-market session, popping up beautifully on PPI data, and we watched as conditions continued to strengthen throughout the entirety of Thursday, leading into Friday, and man oh man, was Friday an interesting time.
On Friday, we watched as $SPY opened the day trading at $609.98, looking strong, and watched as $SPY rallied beautifully, going on to make the official high of the day and an all-time high, roughly an hour after opening, trading at $610.98. Conditions were strong, but we watched as market conditions became extremely choppy, ripping and diving almost instantly, and watched as $SPY sold off to make the official low of Friday, trading at $609.10, before moving back up gain, only to sell off leading into the end of the week.
We officially ended the week with $SPY trading at $609.70, up $5.74 for the week, or up just shy of 1%. I would not say that it was a crazy week for the overall markets, but depending on the organizations that you have allocated to, there were so many great opportunities. We had many great plays last week, including $AIFF, $GRYP, $INTC, and many, many more. So, I hope you all printed last week and are ready to see what the market conditions have in store for us this week!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 02/18/2025
Today is setting up to be a beautiful day for the markets. We just made an all-time high; traders are excited to trade after the long weekend, but we see slight weakness due to cryptocurrencies. Are the markets about to rip and continue to make new highs, or are we about to dump? No one has the correct answer, but I think there’s a strong likelihood that we continue to move up over the next couple of days. This will be fun to attempt to navigate.
I will remind you all to not be passive in these market conditions. Please continue to have long holdings in your account and take advantage of the intraday momentum and opportunities presented to us. Traders are optimistic, as we should during a new all-time high. Just make sure to protect your bottom line and practice safe risk management because one of these days, in the inevitable future, we will have a string of bad days, so make sure that you prepare accordingly.
If you are not confident in these conditions, just continue to remain a skittish bull. There is no reason to be a pessimist, as these market conditions are strong. Continue to ride the strong market momentum, even if it is relatively slower for you, as that means conditions are safe, but being passive will be the death of your portfolio’s potential.
Remember to practice safe risk management; this is multiplefold as it can mean many different things. Do not risk everything; be smart, calculated, and tactical with your positions, versus being a loose cannon and praying things work out. People will get slaughtered in these market conditions, so do what you can to make sure it is not you who is slaughtered.
For my allocations today, I do plan on attempting to trade. It all just comes down to what opportunities are available, though. I have started reallocating some of the million-dollar portfolio, and I am very happy with the rotations I have made over the previous couple of days. With the capital open again, I am slowly purchasing more strong organizations in the account that I believe are undervalued. I am still speculating on $QDTE, which is the largest position in that portfolio. Seeing that account grow over the previous couple of months has been interesting, and I’m excited to continue to watch it grow over the next couple of years!
If I see any opportunities, or if I decide to get into any other plays, I’ll announce what I see in the HaiKhuu Discord.
