+1.12% vs SPY -0.39%

Outperformance was driven by top picks of short TSLA, long GLND, and hedges in the form of QQQ puts as suggested in the macro note yesterday. These trades were coupled with additional large gains in SKLZ (alerted by TraderJoe in our Discord) in the afternoon and a meaningful gain in INTC as alerted in after-hours during our after-hours live stream.

These gains made up for substantial losses which were taken on HOOD and SATS during the afternoon sell-off. We plan to add HOOD back today ahead of earnings next week.

Performance metrics excludes after-hours price movement in INVE.

YTD: +79.96% vs SPY +4.17%

Markets had a scare yesterday in the afternoon when it was reported there were explosions in Tehran, the capital of Iran. Fearful that the war had re-started, indices dove sharply below a key trend-line and it looked like the top of the market could be in. However, markets mostly recovered when it was announced by the IDF that they had not resumed bombing.

Then, later in after-hours, markets (particularly the QQQ) turned higher when INTC reported a massive beat on the top and bottom line. This was followed by Trump announcing a 3-week extension of the Israeli-Lebanon ceasefire; a key pre-requisite by Iran to agree to a deal, which took markets even higher.

The result of all this is an extremely bullish chart, particularly for the QQQ, which possibly looks poised for an explosive squeeze to new highs today.

As a result, as unlikely as it seems, we are compelled to switch back to a green signal after just one day at yellow alert. However, we will only upgrade the day-timeframe to green on the back of INTC earnings. We want to be a bit more cautious regarding swings into Monday as the SPY and IWM do not look nearly as constructive as the QQQ and some weekend uncertainty persists regarding the situation in Iran.

Bottom line, it looks like big cap tech and the semiconductor sector could be in play courtesy of INTC, but caution is advised elsewhere.
