$Eli Lilly(LLY)$  's experimental pill orforglipron showed promising results in diabetes and weight loss trials, causing the stock to surge 16%. Despite market volatility from tariffs, this dip presents a strategic buying opportunity. Investors can capitalize on the stock's long-term growth potential.

I'm calling Netflix for a solid green close on Monday, projecting a 5-10% pop. The recent earnings beat and Morgan Stanley's 'Top Pick' designation should outweigh concerns about rising content costs and ad sentiment. With a strong technical setup and bullish sentiment, I'm confident NFLX will ride the wave of positivity, pushing shares up towards $1,030-$1,070.

Cashed in on some profits from my $Wal-Mart(WMT)$ position. Specifically, sold half of my shares the day after Liberation Day, driven by concerns about the potential impact of Trump's tariffs on the company's bottom line. Given Walmart's significant sourcing from China, I anticipated that the tariffs would hit them hard, so I decided to lock in some gains and reduce my exposure. And you know what? I feel liberated - like I've taken control of my trades and made a smart decision.

Severe weather events and natural disasters are the most unpredictable variables in the stock market. Despite advancements in forecasting technology, their impact is often sudden and unexpected, disrupting supply chains, affecting commodity prices, and influencing investor sentiment. To navigate these risks, traders must stay informed about global weather patterns and natural disaster risks, and be prepared to adapt their strategies quickly in response to changing market conditions. @icycrystal

Today's market sell-off, triggered by escalating tariff tensions, has been severe. However, my long-standing position $iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF(TLT)$ has demonstrated resilience, maintaining a modest gain. As a strategic investor, I've been auto-investing in TLT for over a year, anticipating a rally in response to potential interest rate cuts. Nevertheless, despite this lengthy holding period, my average entry price remains above current market levels. While acknowledging the importance of a long-term perspective, I'm underwhelmed by the prospect of merely breaking even after a year. In my view, a satisfactory trade should generate a minimum annual return of 10%. What am I missing here?

I'm still a new-ish-bie investor. my strategies: In the US market: - Focus on defensive growth sectors like information technology and healthcare. - Avoid cyclical sectors that may be directly impacted by the tariffs. - Consider short-term hedging tools like gold and US Treasury bonds.

As a novice investor, I recently bought shares of $Eli Lilly(LLY)$ at what I believe was the bottom, as part of my diversification strategy to mitigate tariff impact. I chose Eli Lilly for its strong fundamentals, including a robust pipeline of innovative drugs, such as its popular diabetes and obesity treatments. By investing in Eli Lilly, I aim to reduce my reliance on other sectors and benefit from the company's relatively lower exposure to tariffs, as pharmaceuticals are essential products. I plan to monitor tariff developments, track Eli Lilly's performance, and rebalance my portfolio as needed to maintain an optimal asset allocation and minimize risk.

$Stryker(SYK)$ 's diversified portfolio, strong brand recognition, and history of innovation make it a relatively resilient company in the face of economic downturns. Additionally, the demand for medical devices, particularly in the orthopedic and spinal care markets, tends to be less cyclical and more stable. Overall, Stryker is a solid company with a strong track record of financial performance and innovation. While it's not immune to market fluctuations, it's a relatively recession-resistant stock that can provide a stable foundation for a diversified portfolio.

This week, I've been loading up on$Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF(QYLD)$ , a strategic addition to my portfolio. I prefer QYLD over other Nasdaq-tracking ETFs due to its historically stable price action, courtesy of its covered call strategy. While QYLD may not offer the same growth potential as its unhedged counterparts, it more than makes up for it with consistent monthly dividend distributions. This steady income stream is ideal for reinvesting into my satellite portfolio, providing a regular influx of capital to optimize my overall portfolio performance. QYLD's unique blend of stability and income generation makes it an attractive holding for investors seeking to balance risk and reward. As a trader, I'm always on the lookout for op

Rotating into$Alibaba(BABA)$ to hedge my US asset exposure. The recent pullback in US markets has led me to rebalance my portfolio and allocate funds to a high-growth, undervalued asset like Alibaba. The company's diversified ecosystem, comprising e-commerce, cloud computing, and digital payments, provides a compelling growth narrative. Furthermore, Alibaba's exposure to the burgeoning Chinese consumer market and its expanding presence in Southeast Asia offer a lucrative growth trajectory.

Given the current market's elevated uncertainty and volatility, I'm adopting a cautious stance. While the upcoming crypto summit presents potential upside catalysts for Bitcoin, I'm prioritizing risk management. If $FUT:CME Bitcoin - main 2503(BTCmain)$ experiences a significant price surge during the summit, I'll consider taking profits to lock in gains. This strategy acknowledges the unpredictability of the event's outcome and the market's propensity for rapid reversals. $MicroStrategy(MSTR)$ $Coinbase
