To The Moon

Everyone thinks the market is pulling back because fundamentals are weakening. They’re wrong. 📉🛑

Let’s cut through the noise. Yes, we’ve seen a pullback. Yes, I took a small hit myself this week—but I’m not losing a second of sleep over it.

Here is the objective reality: The market just surged a massive 6,000 points from its early June lows. What we are experiencing right now isn't a crash; it hasn’t even broken the major moving averages. It is simply a market taking a well-deserved breath after sprinting to all-time highs.

A lot of you are paralyzed, wondering if this is a "fake breakout."

Market Insight: A true fake breakout is a sudden, violent trap after a long consolidation. What we have today is a structurally healthy rest. Don't let normal volatility shake you out of a generational bull run.

Here is my playbook for navigating the current chop, the real reason behind the dip, and the intel I’m watching next. 👇

🎰 The Korean "Casino" & The Liquidity Shockwave

When the market drops, everyone scrambles for a neat, logical narrative. My read on the situation? This pullback was heavily triggered by the extreme volatility over in South Korea.

Right now, the Korean retail market is operating like a hyper-aggressive casino. Retail traders are using massive leverage to speculate on US tickers—Tesla, Palantir, meme stocks, and crypto.

Remember the Archegos blowup? When a heavily leveraged crowd sees a few of their highly speculative assets tank, they face margin calls. They are forced to aggressively liquidate everything. That panic creates a liquidity vacuum that ripples across global markets.

The Takeaway: This drop isn't driven by deteriorating fundamentals. It’s an emotional and liquidity-driven shockwave caused by unwinding leverage and a cool-down in crowded AI/semiconductor trades. Stop looking for a dozen logical reasons to go short. If you short a liquidity dip, the V-shape recovery will absolutely crush you.

🔄 The Capital Rotation Tug-of-War

Here is exactly what I did this week. I initially expected capital to wash out of mid-cap tech and hide in mega-caps like TSMC.

I trimmed some mid-caps and rotated cash into TSMC. But then, a funny thing happened: TSMC pulled back too, while mid-caps (like passive component giant Yageo) refused to die. The overarching bullish structure was still completely intact.

So, I pivoted. I pulled some funds back out of TSMC and redeployed them into the smaller names.

Trading Rule: Right now, you have to trade based on the "breathing" of the market. TSMC isn't quite ready to carry the entire index on its back alone. I’m holding my core positions and waiting for TSMC to clearly break out into a new mini-cycle high before sizing up aggressively.

🔬 Under-the-Radar Industry Intel

While the broader market rests, the supply chain is shifting. Here is what you need to know:

MediaTek (MTK): We are seeing signals of across-the-board price hikes. This is a massive, tangible win for their margins. The market is ignoring it for now because the stock has already run up, but when capital rotates back to large caps, this narrative will ignite. Also, their rumored "Triggerfish" ASIC project with Google proves their partnership is rock-solid, even if it's currently just an early-phase memory upgrade to existing chips.

Broadcom: The mystery of their missing "9th generation" is solved. It’s called "Whalefish"—a 2-in-1 chip designed for substrates. The roadmap is fully intact.

The Resistor Squeeze: Keep an eye on passive components. Because capacitors and inductors are facing severe shortages, buyers are panic-ordering resistors to prevent future bottlenecks. This has instantly tightened supply, and major price hikes are likely hitting in July.

💡 The Real Wealth Mindset

Let’s talk about the end game. Hitting my first million was unforgettable. But as the zeros kept adding up, the thrill faded. You realize there are always going to be "monsters" out there who make money like breathing. If you chase them, you will lose your mind.

If you want to survive long enough to build real wealth, memorize these two principles:

1. Respect the Black Swan (No Extreme Leverage)

I survived this long because I am terrified of ruin. Geopolitics can pivot in a second. If you are max-leveraged, one unexpected headline wipes you out completely. I would rather get rich slowly than risk instant bankruptcy.

2. Build "Walk Away" Money

I built my wealth so I never have to rely on a toxic boss, a corporation, or sponsors. Having capital means you never have to swallow your pride or endure workplace toxicity. I built this safety net so my kids will never have to eat the kind of corporate dirt I had to when I was younger.

Stay objective. Ignore the daily noise. Focus on the actual capital flows, and never surrender the steering wheel of your own life. We ride out this volatility together. 🌾
