Here’s market watcher and FinPub Bryan Rich on the NVDA report…he’s been all over this AI boom cycle:

The larger question, for the VRA Portfolio, is “is it time to take some short-term profits in SOXL?” We added a full position size in SOXL on 4/23 at $34.25, giving us 1-month gains of 43% at this mornings price of $49 (taking us to 150% long).

VRA Alert: Bought GDXU

We now have GDXU, VGZ, SNWGF and physical gold and silver, meaning we have a lot of exposure to one theme. However, if we’re right about our positioning in interest rate sensitive names, the rest of […]

This looks like a deliberate de-escalation signal, especially since China relies heavily on that oil flow. It […]
