First-time poster, beginner who has just started investing:
$Palantir (PLTR.US)$-78.42%
$Rocket Lab (RKLB.US)$-10.16%
$Livongo Health (LVGO.US)$-9.73%
$Novavax (NVAX.US)$ -3.62%
$Strategic Education (STRA.US)$ 6.5%
$NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$7.8%
I am looking for long-term holdings. I understand that it can be troublesome, but $Apple (AAPL.US)$ Etc and etc were down 4-5% or so, which was quite nerve-wracking 😨 However, they recovered quite a bit before the market opened, and ended up with just a small loss. If a major market only keeps rising in one direction, it will end quickly, so I think yesterday's decline was a good release of pressure, and I believe the uptrend will continue. Of course, there is a possibility of being wrong, so please invest at your own risk 🙇 $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$ I am considering purchasing stocks with proven track records and potential for further growth, such as etc, and adding them to my portfolio. I am trying independent management, but if everything does not go well, I will consider switching to EFT.

$Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM.US)$ nvidia was up 1.1% at $193.35 in pre-market trading.
According to TrendForce's latest report, AI applications are driving an increase in demand for customized chips and packaging, while boosting the CoWoS demand for 2025. Observing the key development trends in the CoWoS market next year, nvidia's CoWoS demand for TSMC is expected to increase by nearly 60% of the total demand, and TSMC's CoWoS monthly production capacity is approaching 75,000 to 80,000 units by the end of the year!

Yesterday. $Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$ is approaching 0.1 million dollars, $MicroStrategy (MSTR.US)$ suddenly skyrocketed from the pre-sale, with a festive mood. Feeling that this atmosphere is not good, I even murmured on the bulletin board that it might be the peak... and indeed, it turned out to be so. I started drawing a bearish candle out of the blue, so I thought this was not good and decided to exit all positions. Although I couldn't take profits at the highest point, I believe I took good profits considering my poor profit-taking skills. When calculating the profit amount, it turned out to be the second highest profit in US stocks this year after Nvidia🥈.
As a result, the trading of MSTR turned out as follows. Since I was able to allocate a considerable amount of funds, I also took a large profit. As for why I allocated funds to MSTR,
The bitcoin candlestick chart is amazing, and I thought 0.1 million dollars was a must-reach.
MSTR's chart is cleaner than other bitcoin-related stocks.
I invested in MSTR for that reason. At times like this, it's better to buy stocks that are growing than to buy lagging stocks, according to the theory of leading stocks.

Last night, it seemed to be all-time high until pre-open, but as the market opened, it suddenly dropped at the opening bell, starting amidst uncertainty. However, this is not a bad thing, as stocks will reach a peak when in a state of "it can only go up now", but they will continue to rise in times of uncertainty. I thought yesterday was a market that goes up amidst uncertainty.
Also, last night, the market movements diverged by stock.
Especially $Applovin (APP.US)$ However, although it surged temporarily by 10% in the overnight market, it plummeted by about 8% when the daytime market opened. Eventually, towards the end of the closing, it gradually offset the negatives and returned to about -1%, which is a relief ☺️. However, considering the 17% increase on Friday, the volatility is very high. It would be nice to see it stabilize a bit more 🤔.
Was keeping an eye on $Reddit (RDDT.US)$ but bought it, and ended up dropping yesterday, suddenly at a loss. Barely breaking the previous day's low... Still looking upwards for now, but it's a little questionable if it's the second stock to hold a position. Considering moving positions to other stocks depending on the situation...
