I’m considering selling it all and keeping the gains I have left (only been in ai/semis since may)

The last 2-3 weeks of chop is not fun

The market is basically flat today. Yeah, if you’ve just been speculating and only chasing “AI” sectors and names you’re getting hit. I would love if the market did nothing or was slightly down the next 3-6 months. It’s not supposed to just go up. Consolidation is a good thing. I’ve said this before, for investing, volatility is not what you want. Small, incremental moves up are better than up and down 2%, 3% or 4% more in a day.

I agree with the consolidation point. I actually used this type of weakness to add rather than chase. My taxable account is mostly VOO with VGT and VUG for growth exposure. I have smaller satellite positions in SPCX and an even smaller in DRAM.

I like the idea of a flat or slightly down market for a few months. It gives earnings time to catch up and lets new money buy at better prices. The key is owning quality instead of trying to guess the next AI winner.

Not buying but transferring from one dog for another with fewer fleas.

Yep, I like that too. Keep a large portion in a strategic, longer term role with a smaller amount available for tactical or satellite type positions.

I took very small moonshot fliers on AMPX, OKLO, and PPTA.

The kind where if we get a quick rebound at all, I’ll make 50-100%

Oct calls on OKLO $80 strike
Nov calls on AMPX $20 strike
Jan calls on PPTA $30 strike

Bold lineup. If even one of those really takes off, it could pay for the others. Good luck!
