I always buy into strength and sell into weakness. I like listening to the market and following its momentum. I know I’m not smarter than the market so don’t try to predict it in the short-term. Price action was getting really bad on tech names I had. $SMH down -10% and $IGV down -5% this week alone. If you’ve been following me for the past few weeks, I’ve constantly being saying to be patient in this market and size only small. We need yields to materially come down first!! That is exactly why I had raised over 50% cash in my portfolio! Yes, I’ve always been red these past few days but not as much due to proper risk management.
How did everyone’s portfolio perform today. Here is mine:

Is Big Tech still a cash machine? Or has it turned into a capex machine? • $META is selling 40M new shares to fund AI • $GOOGL burned $9.1B of free cash flow last quarter • $GOOGL bought back $0 of stock in Q3 These used to be the "safe" stocks you buy and forget. Are they still?

$COIN reports Q3 today after the close. • 56% off its highs • Down 32% this year And Robinhood just showed crypto revenue falling 55% YoY. If retail crypto trading dropped that hard at HOOD, what does that mean for Coinbase? Buy, hold or avoid?

My girlfriend asked why I'm awake at 3am. Told her I'm "monitoring my positions." I was refreshing a stock I own 3 shares of.

$AMZN reports Q3 after the close today. In Q2 they reported: • Revenue: $200.6B (+20% YoY) • AWS: +37%, fastest in 18 quarters • Ads: +26% After last night, the market made the rules clear: Google spent big and got punished. Microsoft showed restraint and got rewarded. Which one is Amazon tonight?

Where are the haters now…
Perfectly summed up. This is exactly why I’m 70% in cash right now. Need to get past this volatility (hopefully after mid-terms). If market sentiment changes and macro conditions improve then (oil and yields lower), I will aggressively buy new positions and upsizing exisiting ones. Buy into strength, sell into weakness!!

$MSFT: +3% pre-market $GOOGL: -10% pre-market Same night. Both crushed cloud. • Azure: +48%, guiding 49% to 50% next quarter • Google Cloud: +103% The difference? Microsoft spent LESS than expected on capex and says it stays cash flow positive in 2027. Google spent $51.4B and burned $9.1B of free cash flow. The market isn't paying for AI growth anymore. It's paying for AI discipline. Agree?

Marvell is reportedly in advanced talks to buy Lumentum. • $LITE: worth ~$83B • $MRVL: worth ~$221B • Deal could be announced as soon as next week $LITE jumped 10%+ after hours on the news. Optical is quietly becoming the hottest corner of AI. GPUs are useless if you can't move the data between them. Who's the next takeover target?

Google: Cloud revenue doubled 🚀 Market: ok but why did you spend $51 billion Google: to double Cloud revenue Market: -10% Make it make sense
$GOOGL might be the most underrated chip company in the world. OpenAI reportedly wants to buy Google's AI chips. Think about that. Their biggest AI rival could become a TPU customer. Last quarter: • Revenue: $119.8B (+24% YoY) • Cloud revenue: $24.8B (+82% YoY) • Cloud operating income: $8.8B (up from $2.8B) And the stock is still 21% off its highs. Q3 earnings after the close today. Opportunity?

Samsung just posted its 4th straight RECORD quarter. • Revenue: $145.5B (more than 2x YoY) • Operating profit: $80.1B (up nearly 9x) • Chip division: ~$79.4B of operating profit And the Kospi still slid 2.4% the same day. When record numbers can't move the market, is memory topping or just catching its breath?

Being ~50% cash in this environment is saving me a lot of gray hairs. If conditions improve post-midterms I will redeploy rapidly. Until then, I'm favoring a more tactical approach with available cash. If markets can't build a meaningful trend into EOY, cash pile will go higher.

Woke up and saw $GOOG tanked -10%. Can someone explain like I’m 5 years old why?

$INTC is up 152% this year. It's also 33% off its high. Nobody wanted this stock 18 months ago. Now it's one of the best performers in big tech. Q3 earnings tomorrow after the close. Buying before earnings or waiting?

$SIMO Playing these Nov calls into earnings after close today. Bought it yesterday for $217 and already at $391 (75% profit). Expecting volatility so I sized accordingly. The position is only ~ 1% of my total portfolio’s value. NFA DYOR
