Market Summary:
Shorter-term, keep your expectations realistic. As I’ve discussed in recent videos, I’m expecting a normal pullback/consolidation over the next two months. Longer-term, we’re still in a bull market powered by AI. The main thing I continue to stress is to know your time frame. Actively managing a portfolio of stocks is not easy. It involves putting in the work, patience, discipline, and mental toughness. It’s not for everyone. If you are going to do it, please accept that you will never get the highs or the lows. Learn to make decisions and be ok with them.

From here, I’m going to keep my positions light and wait patiently for better entry points. Another thing I would like to stress is please don’t get too bearish. I’m not expecting a major decline from here, especially because we just had a 20% decline earlier this year. I’m simply going to pay attention to relative strength and update you in these videos when anything important shows up. Thank you and good luck for the remainder of the week.
