To The Moon

January trading has come to a close! While the three major U.S. indices finished in the green, the "Precious Metals Massacre" and the major leadership change at the Fed made this a highly unusual start to the year.January Recap: S&P's "January Barometer," but Tech is Lagging?In terms of historical win rates, January lived up to its reputation:$S&P 500(.SPX)$: Up 1.37% (consistent with its 62% win rate since 1928).$Dow Jones(.DJI)$ : The strongest performer, gaining 1.73% as value and blue-chip stocks took the lead.$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$: Up only 0.95%, looking noticeably sluggish.Despite the "January Barometer" flashing a green light for the year, the underperf

1. Gold/Silver: "Golden Pit" or "Value Trap"? The "massacre" in precious metals is primarily driven by the market realizing the Fed won't pivot as fast as hoped. The "Golden Pit" Logic: If you believe the Fed is nearly done and a "soft landing" or "mild recession" is coming, this is a Golden Pit. Historically, gold bottoms just before the first actual rate cut. The Silver Opportunity: Silver is currently testing major multi-year support levels. Because it is also an industrial metal (used in those SanDisk SSDs and AI hardware), it often lags gold but then "slingshots" past it. Verdict: Buy the dip, but don't "all-in." Use a DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) strategy. The "Pit" might be a bit deeper if the Dollar stays strong through February. 2. Trimming Big Tech: Is it time to "Bail"? Tech unde

Gold and silver Possibly a buying opportunity, but not an aggressive one. The selloff was driven more by forced liquidations than weakening fundamentals. Gold’s structural support remains intact, though near-term volatility is likely. Gradual accumulation is preferable. Silver remains higher risk due to speculation. Big Tech in February Selective trimming makes sense. Underperformance points to leadership fatigue, not a broken AI story. Reducing crowded, fully valued names helps manage concentration risk while keeping core exposure. January Barometer for 2026 Supportive, but not decisive. Policy uncertainty and cross-asset volatility suggest a choppy Q1. A pullback would not rule out a constructive 2026. January earnings Solid but uneven. Guidance mattered more than beats.

A thoughtful set of questions. January rarely tells a simple story this year. 1. Is the Gold and Silver selloff a “Golden Pit”? Possibly, but selectively and with discipline. The drawdown had all the hallmarks of forced liquidation rather than a fundamental breakdown. Structural drivers for gold remain intact, including central bank demand, geopolitical hedging and longer-term policy uncertainty. That said, after such extreme volatility, a period of consolidation would be healthy. Gradual accumulation on weakness looks more prudent than aggressive dip-buying, especially for silver, which remains far more speculative. 2. Trimming Big Tech in February? Not a wholesale exit, but some rebalancing makes sense. Big Tech is no longer uniformly cheap, and leadership has narrowed. Trimming stretche

From Friday till Monday, most invested heavily in Gold and Silver had a jittery weekend. Digesting from the sudden gold and silver plunge, went into frantic mode of selling or topping up the account to maintain the margin of not closing the existing Options holdings. Silver had stabilise and I believe it will start to charge up again from 3 Feb onwards due to the big correction.

Gold is safe-haven asset. Any further drop will present buy opportunity.

🌟🌟🌟January Barometer : Bullish Finish or Q1 Deja Vu?  The January Barometer says: As goes January , so goes the year.  But markets don't care about folklore.  They care about earnings, liquidity and macro headlines. Last year's Q1 pullback was a reminder that early year optimism can evaporate faster than a New Year 's resolution.  Could 2026 repeat that pattern? Absolutely.  Could it also rebound into a bullish finish? Also absolutely. January didn't give us a prophecy.  It gave us a warning - the kind that says "Handle with emotional discipline". But here is the truth: One month in a time capsule means nothing.  Not when investing is about compounding, patience and refusing to let short term drama interrupt our long term destiny.

🌟🌟🌟Gold & Silver: A Deep Dive or a Golden Pit?  When precious metals fall, they don't fall politely.  They swan dive.  But here is the thing : Gold and Silver rarely crash because their fundamentals break.  They crash because humans panic , algorithms overreact and liquidity dries up at the worst possible moment. That is why deep dives in Gold and Silver often feel like a Golden Pit - terrifying on the way down but historically rewarding for anyone brave enough to climb in with a shovel and a long term view. If you believe in Gold and Silver as insurance against human overreaction , then January's drop looks less like danger and more like a big sale. I am ready to climb in with my shovel and start digging in to find my Golden Pit.  My future self will thank me

Gold has stabilized and rebounded towards the $4,750–$4,800 region. Time to buy the dip in GLDM and other gold ETFs before the trend becomes fully positive again.

January closed green, but for me it was a very unusual start to the year. While the S&P 500 and Dow advanced, the NASDAQ lagged. Value and defensives leading while tech underperforms tells me this isn’t a clean risk-on rally — it’s capital rotating & the market reassessing leadership. The collapse in gold & silver looked like a crowded trade unwinding fast, driven by a stronger dollar & expectations of a more hawkish Fed under Kevin Warsh. Crypto selling alongside precious metals reinforces the same message: liquidity assumptions are changing, speculative assets are feeling the pressure first. Heading into February, I’m staying cautious. A positive January is historically supportive, but it doesn’t rule out near-term digestion, especially with a Fed leadership shift. I’m n

Buy! Instability = Up for precious metals!

Last Friday, precious metals saw an epic meltdown — LME copper plunged 4%, gold crashed 9.5%, and silver collapsed 26.9%. Gold was down more than 12.6% intraday, marking its largest single-day drop in over 40 years, while silver plunged over 36% intraday, the biggest drop on record. The panic selling carried into today. Gold fell more than 8% intraday, sliding from its all-time high of $5,595 to below $4,500. Silver sank 14% intraday, tumbling from a record $121 to $73. LME copper dropped another 5%. Precious-metals ETFs were absolutely crushed. $ProShares Ultra Silver(AGQ)$ plunged 60% last Friday and fell another 16% overnight today. $MicroSectors Gold Miners 3x Leveraged ETN(GDXU)$ collapsed 39% last Fr

$ProShares Ultra Silver(AGQ)$  What would I rather be?  Face it, gold and silver along with other precious metals group crashed... this is followed by the accompanying bitcoin's accelerated correction over the weekend. Stock market correction will likely followed this week. Money 💵 is a zero sum game. As silver continued to climb, I started to wonder if I should move to other assets classes. I spoke to a number of financial pals but we did not have a good conclusion in this inflationary world.

US indices declined on Friday (30 January), as investors reacted to President Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh for Fed Chair. The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ fell 0.4%, while the $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ closed 1.3% lower. Treasury yields and a stronger US dollar weighed on risk appetite, as markets interpreted the Fed Chair pick as reinforcing a more disciplined and cautious easing trajectory. Within DLC-covered names,

Markets did not sell off just because of headlines. They sold off because uncertainty hit a market that was already fragile. Positioning was crowded, liquidity was thin, and expectations were stretched. When the first crack appeared, selling became mechanical rather than emotional. This is why the drop felt violent. Once volatility spiked, risk managers stepped in, leverage was cut, and liquidity was pulled forward. Weak hands exited early, not because they wanted to, but because they had to. In fragile markets, bad news does not need to be large to cause outsized damage. The announcement that Donald Trump may name a new Federal Reserve Chair, with Kevin Warsh emerging as a finalist, forced investors to reprice more than just interest rates. It reopened questions about Fed independence, cr

January felt like much more than just one month on Wall Street, and Friday’s session did little to slow the pace. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 179 points, or 0.4%, closing out a volatile end to the month. While the Dow gained 1.7% in January, those gains were heavily front-loaded. The index has now declined for three consecutive weeks, marking its longest weekly losing streak since December 2024, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Still, zooming out paints a different picture: January marked the Dow’s ninth straight monthly gain, its longest winning streak since 2018.
