🚀📊🧠 The ETF Roadmap for 2026: Tracking Institutional Conviction Before the Narrative Turns 🧠📊🚀
$SPROTT JUNIOR COPPER MINERS ETF(COPJ)$ $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPYM)$ $NEOS Nasdaq 100 High Income ETF(QQQI)$ I’m watching ETFs again. Not because I’m chasing beta, and not because I prefer simplification, but because ETFs are the earliest visible footprint of how institutions reposition before the broader narrative catches up. After decades watching capital flows dictate cycles, one principle holds. When ETF leadership changes, portfolios have already moved. That’s why this matters. Eric Balchunas at Bloomberg has published his “26 ETFs to Watch in

🔥📉🧭 2025 Ends Strong, But Breadth Breaks: AI Wins, Metals Explode, Risk Frays
$S&P 500(.SPX)$$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ 31Dec25 🇺🇸 | 01Jan26 🇳🇿 Market Pulse I’m closing the books on 2025 with a very clear message from price, breadth, and cross-asset behaviour. The final session was decisively risk-off, even as the year itself finished structurally strong. Markets closed red, with the $DJI, $SPX, and $IXIC logging a 4th straight daily loss. The Nasdaq slipped into the red for December, while the Dow notched its 8th straight monthly win. Still, all three capped a 3rd straight positive quarter and year, a classic late-cycle tell. Market breadth was decisively bearish to close the year. On the NYS
With much talks surrounding $Microsoft(MSFT)$ OpenAI and $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ Google Gemini for consumers and developers looking for model practicality, we are also seeing the growing need to show that AI can actually be useful. One of the much talk about in 2025 is the AI agents, so with $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ acquiring Manus AI, are we seeing a shift of big tech looking for ways to start making money from AI while they continued to build their internal AI competitive advantage. In this article, we would look at a structured view of why Meta’s acquisition of Manus AI matters — particularly in the context of the ongoing conversation about AI agents, practical
🚨📉 Tesla’s Volatility Reset: The Grinch Has Cancelled Christmas and the 2026 Regime Shift Is Underway 📉🚨
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Bullish $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ Bullish $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Bullish 31Dec25 🇺🇸 | 01Jan26 🇳🇿 I’m calling this market exactly as it traded, not as it was supposed to. The Grinch is no longer stealing Christmas, he’s cancelling it. The Santa Rally script failed, volatility took control, and $TSLA became the clearest expression of a regime shift that punished complacency and rewarded structure. That Grinch board isn’t satire. It’s a ledger. Happy New Year to all Tigers and traders 🎆 I’m stepping into 2026 focused on discipline, data, and positioning, not folklore. 🎅❌ Santa Rally Failure: When the Grinch
A Happy New Year to all my fellow tigers! As we draw a close to 2025, where Fed policy shifts include lower rates and renewed balance sheet expansion, these signal a bullish environment for value stocks and broader market participation in 2026. In this article, we would like to look at a comprehensive analysis of the U.S. equity market performance for calendar year 2025 and what it may signal for 2026, with emphasis on how monetary policy (including your mentioned lower rates and balance-sheet stance) ties into market dynamics and sector leadership. Market Performance: How U.S. Equities Closed 2025 Major Index Returns The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ S&P 500 finished 2025 with double-digit gains (~16.4%) despite ending the final session on a down note.
🌙 Year End Note — 31 Dec 2025 Remember March & April 2025 This year taught something important. In March and April, many of us saw how fast money can disappear. Years of saving can vanish in just 20 market days. And then, the market came back in one single day. But if we were not holding our positions on that day, our gains did not come back. The lesson is simple: • Do not panic • Do not sell out of fear • Crashes are normal • If you can, add more when prices fall • If you cannot add, it is okay to wait and do nothing And one rule to remember: Never hold positions with 1.5× leverage. It can break everything you built. ⸻ Going into 2026 Carry these thoughts: • Keep some cash always • Stay patient • Small smart steps → big results later
$Alphabet(GOOG)$ Woah Alphabet has been absolutely crushing it in 2025. The stock’s up over 60%, easily the top dog among the Magnificent Seven, and it’s not hard to see why. First off, their AI game is on fire. Gemini 3 is getting rave reviews as one of the leading large language models, and they’re monetizing it fast through search upgrades, YouTube integrations, and more. Investors who worried Google was falling behind in the AI race? Yeah, that’s ancient history now. Then there’s Google Cloud, which has turned into a total growth beast. We’re talking 34% revenue jumps, a massive $155 billion backlog, and a surge in billion-dollar AI deals. It’s finally profitable and stealing share from the big guys, fuel
$Broadcom(AVGO)$ Start to stabilise like Nvidia 2 month ago. Managed to topup some when price is lower. With one market correction price phases just completed, the waiting game should probably last until next Qtr reporting before any big up/down big movement occur again, until some good/bad news announced before that. Will time prove that this round of correction is overly done? Or market is correct about level of correction executed. Time will tell. Good luck to all for 2026 as we coming to an end of 2025.
Big Tech Weekly | What Is Market Consensus for 2026? Valuation, CapEx, and AI Breadth
Macro Theme of the WeekThe minutes from the Federal Reserve’s December FOMC meeting released this week show that internal divisions over the policy path have widened significantly. Although the Committee ultimately decided to cut rates in December, the number of dissenting voices reached a level rarely seen.Overall, the minutes had a limited impact on risk assets, serving mainly to reinforce the market’s prior view that rate cuts in Q1 2026 are unlikely.On one hand, most officials supported rate cuts as a precaution against potential weakness in the labor market. On the other hand, some argued for keeping rates unchanged for a period of time, and a small minority believed that conditions in December did not justify a rate cut at all.This internal divergence suggests that the Fed has yet to
