Should AI giants continue to spend hundreds of billions on AI development, or should they prioritize building AI us...

Review of the very harsh 3rd week Dec

Devastating Crash of $Novo-Nordisk A/S (NVO.US)$ and Strong Rebound of $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ on Black Friday.

Horton (DHI.US)$ , $Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII.US)$ , $MarketAxess (MKTX.US)$ . Especially obesity drug giant NVO which collapsed 25% at pre-market after disappointing trial results o...

$Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLU.US)$ My execution has improved dramatically in the past few months. I was on a losing streak the past week, so I wanted to make sure I closed in the green to get that confidence back up and momentum going. I sold 20 minutes too early, but I'm happy with the day. My plan wasn't to hold till the close, but good opp on XLU today!
