I once bought Sandisk 580, but held it for less than a day because the volatility was too high and I couldn't hold on. Even though I saw many semiconductor and storage stocks and ETFs skyrocketing afterwards, I still didn't dare to get in. A good night's sleep is more important than anything...

The stock positions and investment structure are set. Except for the Nasdaq ETF falling 10% from its high, I'll try to do nothing in July—no chasing hot topics, no buying or selling options, no short-term trading... Just waiting for the rose of time🌹
Strange, my Longbridge account only has 7 dollars left, with no stocks at all, yet the return rate still fluctuates with ups and downs. This month, I made two moves: cleared out the gold ETF position and bought into SpaceX with a 3% allocation at a cost of 157. The Nasdaq ETF hasn't dropped back down yet, so I'm continuing to hold flat. As for individual stocks, I'm letting them continue to do their own thing. It's unexpected that Microsoft and Meta have actually become contrarian indicators. Combined with Berkshire Hathaway, these positions make up 12% of my portfolio, making the return curve relatively smooth. Storage stocks keep hitting new highs, but I must curb my own greed, firmly avoid chasing hot trends, and stick to my circle of competence... waiting quietly for the rose of time 🌹
$Meta Platforms(META.US) Never expected that my holdings in Berkshire, Microsoft, and Meta have all become contrarian indicators, plus SpaceX, four of them coming to support the market tonight...
The more random the information, the more complex the thing, and thus the harder it is to generalize. The more you generalize, the more orderly you make things, the lower the randomness. Therefore, it is our act of simplification that makes us think the world is less random than it actually is. And black swan phenomena are the things we don't simplify.
Last night, the Nasdaq rose 0.46%, while my portfolio fell 0.12%, mainly due to the sharp drops in Google and Microsoft. Fortunately, the combined position of these two leading stocks is only 10%. (Google has already fallen more than 10% from its high. If you are bullish on Google in the long term, you can start building a small position.) At the time, I thought around 298 was the peak, and I wanted to keep some ammunition in reserve. Not knowing whether it would rise or fall, I bought a large position in Nasdaq ETF. After buying, I was uneasy, but unexpectedly, the Nasdaq kept hitting new highs, as if it would never look back. I used to frequently ask AI about technical indicators to buy individual stocks, but now I just lie flat. It's not too late to act again after the Nasdaq falls about 10% from its high...
Last time writing a monthly summary. Didn't expect the regulatory crackdown to come so swiftly. Cleared out all positions in gold ETFs and Microsoft to cash out on Tuesday's market open. This account made a small profit of $2,000 this year, all from the gains in gold ETFs. Made a few moves on Interactive Brokers: cleared out positions in Johnson & Johnson and SPYM, about 10% of the capital, and moved it all into SGOV. For individual stocks, significantly reduced the Microsoft position from 24% down to 6%. Currently hold 6 stocks totaling a 36% position. Continue to DCA into the Nasdaq index, buying on dips. Won't touch individual stocks anymore unless there are fundamental issues. After observing for a few months, found that the entire portfolio can outperform the S&P index, but underperforms the Nasdaq...

Post-breakup pains: when will MSFT stage a comeback?
$Microsoft(MSFT.US) reported FY26 Q3 (quarter ended Mar) after the US close on Apr 30. Overall, results were steady, with most headline metrics beating expectations but lacking a true standout.
1) Azure re-accelerated, but without surprises. Azure revenue grew 40% YoY; ex-FX growth was 39%, a 100bps acceleration QoQ.
The re-acceleration is a healthy sign. That said, versus AWS and GCP's stronger pickup this quarter, it was not particularly eye-catching...
+18Two trades: In the middle of the month, seeing Microsoft continuously rising, my wife became impatient and wanted to go all-in to chase the rally on the right side. I made a political compromise, adding 10% to my position at a price of 418. At this point, Microsoft's position had reached 25%. I held the position until the earnings report, intending to take a gamble. Unexpectedly, the earnings were good, but the stock price didn't rise as much as expected. Fortunately, around 5:30 in the morning, it suddenly surged to around 437. I decisively took profits on 5% and sold the overweight position. After selling, it kept hovering around 424: Luck is indeed important. Next profit-taking point around 450... Re-invest the funds from the sale into Sgov...
