Tech Plays: Battling Through a Challenging Market
This past week showed just how volatile the market envrioment can be. The S&P 500 continues its ride below its 200-day moving average for the fifth day running, which means we’re keeping a conservative approach and not entering new trades. Instead, we’ve been focusing on making necessary adjustments within our portfolio. With a 20.9% cash share, we’re maintaining a robust cash position, ready to deploy when the situation looks right.
Portfolio Updates: Sells and Rebalancing
This week, we parted ways with AMKR, a semiconductor packaging and test services provider, as it fell out of the top momentum ranking. Similarly, MU, another key player in memory and storage solutions, was sold off as it hit below its 100-day moving average.
In terms of reallocations, there were no rebalancing activities to speak of. We stand firm in our current holdings, gauging the market for better days ahead.
Sector Spotlight and Holdings Overview
Our focus remains strong on the Technology sector, known for its innovation but also its potential to influence various aspects of our lives through digital solutions. Companies from this sector, like the ones currently in our portfolio, form the backbone of our tech exposure.
Top Holdings: cash, TER (a supplier of equipment used in semiconductor manufacturing), and CIEN (a provider of networking solutions). Our best performer for the week was ALB, logging a notable gain of +13.10%. On the flip side, WDC didn’t do as well, posting a rather steep decline of -14.14%.
While the S&P 500 is still under its 200-day moving average, let’s stay cautious until broader market signals suggest a shift. I’d love to hear how you are navigating these turbulent times—drop a comment below and let’s chat about your recent trading experiences!
