Dear Traders, Just as 2022 was a challenging year, 2023 turned out to be a great one. Despite a strong rebound in stocks and bonds, it remained a tough environment for many investors and traders. If you had a great year, take time to celebrate your success. And if it wasn’t your year, remember that […]
Dear Traders, Today was another light-volume session, as most traders and investors monitor their portfolios from anywhere but their desks. Under the surface, certain stocks continue making moves, and crypto keeps partying. Today I also had another big loss, wiping out some weeks of profit, unfortunately. As some of you may have read in my […]
Dear Traders, This is incredible! Last week on Friday, the S&P 500 ETF, $SPY, saw its biggest single-day capital inflow on record, at $20.8 billion. Dating back to the ETF’s inception in 1993, this has never been seen. Total inflows last week alone hit $24 billion, also posting a new record. On Monday, $SPY saw […]
Dear Traders, Yesterday, I found myself in a Vancouver emergency room due to complications from my post-surgery recovery.

Despite the […]
Dear Traders, Yesterday, the US Central Bank, the Federal Reserve, left rates steady, and Chairman Jerome Powell held a press conference.

Dear Traders, I’ve returned from two incredible weeks in Colombia, which has now topped my list of visited countries. What struck me most about Colombia is its people—their vibrant charm, zest for life, happiness, and, most importantly, their gratitude.

Dear Traders, In Shakespeare’s tragedy of Macbeth, Macbeth and his army’s general, Banquo, encounter three witches who promise them a prophecy of Macbeth becoming the King of England. Banquo, the loyal general, challenges the witches by saying, ‘If you can look into the seeds of time and tell which grain will grow and which will […]
Dear Traders, The human soul, in nature, is not inherently greedy. However, over the course of our 5,000-year civilization, we have developed both individual and collective forms of greed. Each person desires more, while society as a whole can also exhibit greed. A historical example of societal-level greed can be seen in the practice of […]
Dear Traders, Our brains guide our actions and decisions. When your mind is cloudy and unclear, making sound choices becomes challenging. This is a fundamental rule of life. As some of you may know, I underwent surgery in Colombia over the weekend, requiring six hours of anesthesia and potent painkillers. I spent Saturday night in […]

Dear Traders, We witnessed some incredible trading today in the chatroom, which is always a source of joy for me. Three traders, Thor, Paras, and Jarad, each approached TSLA differently at the Open, and remarkably, they all ended up making profits. At times, their strategies were completely opposite of each other, but at the end […]

One of the most anticipated earnings reports this year was from NVDA, which was released on Wednesday after the market closed. The results were outstanding, surpassing expectations in all aspects. The only concern came from […]
Dear Traders, Who would have thought that technology companies, which were struggling in 2022, would reach all-time highs so quickly, in less than a year? The QQQ index, representing the modern-day industrial sector, is now very close to an all-time high. NVDA is trading above $500 again, MSFT is near its all-time high, and Apple, […]
