No I don't think space theme is core. It's a fad. Comes and goes like the other themes of nuclear and quantum. In the end, only companies that show real and strong consistent growth will survive. Not hype. Good for trading but bad for investing. I'd rather go for profitable companies that show strong growth and are undervalued.
Buy both $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ and $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ One is market leader which can never be wrong to own plus it's undervalued. The other is second in command and has higher growth rates in the next 2 to 3 years. Explosive growth will bring the stock price higher... Get both but don't over allocate.
I check candles as a confluence to other technicals like moving averages and horizontal support/resistance. most of the time you need candle patterns for confirmation, instead of single candle
no regrets..in retrospect, every trade seems easy, that you should have known. but the truth is no one knows the market direction. for e.g. can anyone sat which stock will go up next and buy when. timing the market sounds sexy and smart but it's hard. Best advice is to do your research, manage risk through your allocation, and stock to your plan unless something is fundamentally wrong. hone your skills not think about regret
AI will continue, and stock market will be higher in 2026 than 2025. There will be at least one 10% or more correction, and maybe a few less than 10% pullbacks. Crypto is lagging end 2025, so good chance it will go up in the 1sr half of 2026.
