A Breakdown of My Trade on $KC's +180% Move in a Month
Rather than replying to individual DMs about my $Kingsoft Cloud Holdings Ltd(KC)$ position (ironically, my earlier post was about $Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund(FBTC)$ ), I decided it’s better to share this as part of the free educational content for everyone to benefit from.Here are a few key points about the share structure of KC before the breakout, so you can adjust your screening parameters if needed. This is the type of stock profile that typically shows up in the 'Top 100 Performance% Stocks' annually. It's also why I tend to focus on small to mid-cap stocks most of the time.ImageShare Structure Before Breakout at $3i) Market Cap: $700M USD (Current: $2B USD)ii) ADR%: 5.7% (Current: 10.8%)iii) IP
In my younger days, I investing in a very concentrated portfolio. It wasn’t uncommon for me to have three or four stocks and at one time a single company made up about 90% of my portfolio.Luckily, that didn’t lead to ruin, but it certainly wasn’t a smart way to run a portfolio.As I enter my 30th year of investing 👴 , I’ve come to appreciate the stability of diversification and the acknowledgment that I may be wrong with any given investment idea. This willingness to be wrong is core to asymmetric investing and it also needs to be balanced with an appropriate level of diversification.I don’t know who said it (if you do, please let me know), but this quote sums up how I think about diversification.If I’m wrong, I only want a little and if I’m right, a little is enough.UnknownLet’s put some n

The bull market keeps keeping on higher for longer in 2025
Learnings and conclusions from this week’s charts:The $.SPX(.SPX)$ closed 2024 up 23.3% (25% including dividends).This put US large caps on top (vs other assets) in 2024.This was accompanied by lower average volatility + higher earnings.As such, investor sentiment notched up new bullish record highs.And valuation indicators moved further into expensive territory.Overall, it was a year that featured all the hallmarks of a raging bull market. But heading into 2025, expectations are running hot, and the hurdles for a third calendar year in a row of 20%+ gains are high. As I discuss, it’s possible that the bull market keeps keeping on higher for longer, but we need to think about probabilities vs possibilities…1. Happy New Year! The S&P500 c
