I have been trying to get to a $10,000 cost basis for the longest time since I started investing, and I just hit that milestone literally 1 minute ago when I lowered my cost basis on $REMX. I have faced a lot of setbacks that have held me back, one of which being a huge tax bill I got hit with last year. It feels good to finally hit this milestone. I plan to keep stacking, but I feel assured knowing that I finally have $10,000 working for me in the market.
📈 $SPX swung from green to red before staging a strong rally from the lows. If buyers can reclaim 7428, the path toward 7500 becomes much more interesting. 🚀 $MU bounced sharply as well. I’d like to see it get back above 1100 to strengthen the bullish case. 📈 $SNDK is another one I’m watching. A move through 1950 could open the door for more upside. ⚡ $TSLA finally showed some real strength, bouncing nearly 20 points off the lows. Holding above 400 would keep the near-term outlook more constructive. Volatility is creating opportunities, but patience and discipline are still the edge. Let the market confirm the move before chasing. 📊💪
