To The Moon

🌟🌟🌟July has a reputation for fireworks and today July 4 is America's Independence Day.  Savvy investors know that July 4 isn't just about fireworks.  It is a historical inflection point for the markets.  Historically July has been one of the strongest months for stocks.  It is where surprise rallies ignite, rotations accelerate and breakout stories are born.

The S&P500 has posted gains in 10 straight Julys, the longest streak since 1957.

The Nasdaq 100 has a 66% win rate in July with an average return of 0.7%.

July often kicks off mid year rotations.  This is where laggard stocks  surge and leaders consolidate.

So is there another breakout coming?  The set up is there - easing inflation, rate cut optimism and a tech fueled rally that is rotating into financials, energy and value stocks.

Where I am looking to invest :

AI Momentum - Nvidia Ignites the Fuse

Nvidia has hit a record USD 3.92 Trillion market cap, overtaking $Microsoft(MSFT)$  and Apple.  It is not just the most valuable company on Earth.  Nvidia is the engine room of AI revolution.

Nvidia dominates 90% of the data center GPU market.  It reaches USD 44.1 billion in Q1 revenue, up 69% year over year.  Nvidia is riding a USD 1 Trillion AI infrastructure wave by 2028.  Wall Street Analysts are now eyeing a USD 5 trillion valuation within 18 months.

Nvidia isn't just a stock.  It is the spark behind the AI Supercycle. 

Crypto Catalyst - Coinbase

$Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$  is up 37% in just 1 month after taking an equity stake in Circle, the issuer of stablecoin USDC.  Coinbase is also the main custodian for US spot Bitcoin ETFs.   The latest news is that Coinbase is launching Bitcoin and Ethereum futures on July 21.  Coinbase is the stock to buy in July as it is well positioned at the heart of crypto's institutional wave.

Financial Titans - XLF ETF

$Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLF)$ is up almost 30% over the past year and is now trading near its record high at USD 53.19.  What is fueling its rally?  XLF's top holdings are on fire with Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo at all time highs.

Add in deregulation tail winds, rate cut optimism and AI adoption in financial services and you have got a sector that is not just stable, it is strategically explosive. 

Broad Core Exposure 

SPLG $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPLG)$  tracks the S&P500 Index, giving instant access to the best and strongest US companies in just 1 trade.     SPLG has reached its 52 week high recently at USD 73.66.  With a low expense ratio of just 0.02% this ETF puts more money back into my pockets over the long term.  My position is 43% and still compounding.

Is Another Breakout Coming?

History says Yes.  Nvidia says Yes.  Coinbase says Yes.  With Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo leading the charge, XLF is the financial engine of this rally.  My portfolio - It is already up and marching forward.

This July 4, while the skies light up in celebration, so does my conviction in staying invested for the long haul  in the markets.  Because independence isn't just a national legacy, it is being financially independent that is important to me.  With my portfolio climbing, I am not just chasing freedom, I am compounding it.
