Interesting developments on the tech side. NVDA has been hitting new highs, and that has helped other AI-related names. One of my tech materials names i.e. GSM suddenly had a very nice bounce. No material news … oh wait! The company got added to Russell Indices. Really nice bounce - might take some gains if it moves a little higher.

One trade on 07/03 - Added to my NAT stake.

Per the subject title, … I keep going.

  • On the pull-back, trading ac nibble on ENTG
  • Missed out on the AI data center pick, CRWV, when it IPO’d and went on a great run. Backdoor way of getting there - buy its acquisition target i.e. CORZ. Latter agreed to be acquired by CRWV
  • Another NBIS nibble in Roth ac
  • Another LULU nibble in Roth ac

Nice bounce from FRO today.

07/08 - 07/10

  • 2nd CORZ nibble in taxable ac
  • Monetized a portion of GSM in Roth ac
  • Another CORZ nibble (first one in Roth ac)
  • Another FRO nibble in Roth ac

For some reason, the subject line of this thread came up more today. I though of the renewed tariff focus, especially on Brazil, and two of my three Brazil-related ideas - NU & ABEV. The latter is likely more impacted by the tariffs debate. But given Canada is a target too, maybe there’s a swap of Brazilian beer from US beer in Canada.

One that got away - New Egg (NEGG). Had considered nibbling in the low teens. Shares have just rocketed in the last few weeks.

Two minor moves on the day

  • NBIS nibble in Roth ac
  • FLNG nibble in taxable ac
