$NBIS is really testing my conviction. When it was trading below 150, I seriously considered going all-in on $NBIS and calling it a month. Looking back, Iโd probably be in a much better position today. Donโt get me wrong..my other holdings have done well too. But watching $NBIS keeps making me wonder what could have been. The idea of going full portfolio on $NBIS and riding off into the sunset is becoming more tempting by the day.
The last month has been one of the most volatile in a very long time. The Nasdaq had one of the worst losses since the Dotcom days. Iโve learned my lesson from the โlost decadeโ and 4 major stock market crashes and 2 real estate crashes, a global financial crisis and global pandemic and 3 American lead wars and can say without question we are living through a major secular bull market and this is going to be a rough ride. We hear that diversification is so important to wealth CREATION and PRESERVATION. Yes, concentration builds accelerated growth but youโre also competing with the smartest, richest and most equipped hedge funds that move the market at their discretion. But understanding what and how diversification works to grow and PROTECT your wealth is even more critical to STAYING IN THE GAME, and being able to jump at the next opportunity. Iโve been told by enough senior executives and CEOโs that Iโm one of the most STRATEGIC people they have worked with. I always found their impression odd, given that strategy should be the basis of every intention. Strategy begins with answering all of the following questions: - What is your end game? - What is the playing field? - What are the obstacles? - What are your resources, tools, techniques, knowledge and information available? - What is the opportunity? - What are the risks? - What are all the options? - What are the factored % probabilities of success and failure? Now go figure out a comprehensive plan that incorporates all of the above that has the highest probability of achieving the end game. But have a complete PLAN. Move forward with your OFFENSIVE moves, but have a DEFENSIVE plan. What if your plan doesnโt work? And you might lose 10, 20, 30% or more of your entire portfolio? Donโt tell me, well Iโm in it for the long term. It can literally take decades to make it back. It took 20 years for me to recover my losses on Celestica and Bombardier. Today, our plan includes for capturing (1) growth of the global, US and Canadian economies and therefore stocks. Our plan includes for (2) currency fluctuations especially USD and CAD and the swings between them and growing a USD cash pile. Most Canadian investors donโt realize how much of their recent wealth is actually a loss due to the erosion of the value of the Canadian dollar vs USD. Our plan includes for (3) yield, both directly through individually selected dividend stocks, and indirectly from broad market ETFs. Yield of course is income and cash flow and as much as possible sustainable, reliable, and GROWING income and cash flow regardless of market volatility. My annual yield is now 2.5x my core expenses (not including discretionary โlifestyleโ expenses). Almost approaching my target of 3 times safety. (Tip: you canโt get there with covered call ETFs over the long term) Our plan has (4) a cash management strategy and four sources of income streams, diversifying and not be reliant on any single one to cover core living expenses, and continually build a cash pile of โdry powderโ including trimming growth stocks on the way up to buy quality for growth, dividends and diversification on the way down. Currently we are at 20% cash and growing. A Plan, a Strategy, Diversified, and a Defensive one for the reversal of the market at any given time. Nothing wrong with being a โprepperโ and being able to โplayโ both sides of the market swings (no I donโt mean shorting!). This โprojectโ has been a work in progress since 1997 and โfloatedโ since retiring in 2022, tested for success with financial planning and modeling software that suggests 100% success rate via Monte Carlo simulations and other tests to fund our life, but I donโt take that as something for granted. I stay vigilant to changes in the global economy, politics and how the market reacts. Interesting enough, in the last 6 months we have made virtually no trades.

The memory trade has experienced a dramatic shift in just a few weeks. The Memory ETF $DRAM is now down nearly 40% from its June highs after delivering an explosive +182% rally since its April launch. Top holdings including Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron $MU have all been impacted as investors lock in gains and reassess the sector outlook. Meanwhile, the leveraged Memory ETF $RAM has seen an even sharper pullback, falling around 68% from its June 24 peak after launching on the same day. From extreme optimism to aggressive selling, the memory cycle is going through a major volatility phase.
I bought a little $PLTR before earnings, I'm a little under 41 shares going into earnings. Fingers crossed, but whether it goes up or down. I'm still buying. Let's see what these earnings have to bring!
If youโre an $AMZN holder, know that I felt your pain last year. Q2 Earnings lately have turned it around after that $200+ CapEx from earlier in the year that had completely killed the numbers for a while. The only thing Iโm hoping for is decreased volatility that the stock sometimes suffers from time to time ๐ค. Maybe after solid sales from Trainium Chips and a good outlook on forward P/E, things can turn for the better? Regardless, my hopes are in Amazon. Even though theyโre the largest online retailer in the world, AWS is their most profitable business. Anyone else agree/disagree? Looking forward to discussion!
This morning I realized that there are 7,000 of you following my financial journey. Iโm so humbled, thank you. ๐๐ป I remember what financially crippled felt like, stomach dropping before I even opened my banking app. Doing math at the grocery store, putting things back. That 3am anxiety where every โwhat ifโ feels like a countdown. Today looks different. Not checking my portfolio for days because I donโt need to. Booking a flight without the mental gymnastics. Standing in front of Trevi Fountain on a random Tuesday, mid-week, mid-year, simply because I can. I got here the boring way. No windfall, no hot picks, no timing the market. Just the same unglamorous decisions, repeated for years, until one day the weight was gone. Iโm retired now, and my portfolio carries us further than my paycheque ever did. I donโt say that to impress anyone, I say it because I remember not having anyone show me this was possible. If this account helps even one of you get a little closer to your own โfree,โ Iโll consider it worth every post. Truly, thank you for being here. For reading, for asking questions, for trusting me with a small piece of your journey. This community means more to me than a follower count ever could. ๐ฅ Hereโs to learning and growing together. read more

One of the best parts about the Blossom community is how open everyone is sharing knowledge and experiences.

It took me 15 years to hit 100k. Subsequently, it took me 4 years to hit 500k. Iโd love to know what first popped into your head when you read that. For me, I would automatically think that this personโs earnings power must have increased significantly. That would be the obvious answer. But it couldnโt be further from the truth for me. I actually didnโt even earn an income for 2 out of those 4 years. So, aside from compound interest (๐๐ผ), what made the difference? Awareness. Comprehension. Determination. But mostly TIME. For those first 15 years I worked hard. I worked all the overtime. Sometimes working illegal amounts of hours. I made stupid amounts of money and when I finally got a day off (sometimes after 3 months straight), I spent it ALL. Something changed when I took my first maternity leave in 2019. It was the first time in my adult life, that I had an opportunity to slow down. To get away from the grind. To be able to think about something (anything) other than progressing my career. I used that opportunity to teach myself something new. Arguably the most important life skill Iโd ever learn. Money management. I invested in myself. I learned how to budget. I learned about the stock market. I started making educated and conscious decisions about money. So, the biggest difference between those two periods of my life was, TIME. Not earnings power. But having the time to learn important life skills that I never previously had the time for when all I did was grind. I know a lot of people will say they donโt have time to learn about investing and honestly, I GET IT, because I was that person! But my advice to those people now would be this: Make time. Step away from the grind and take the time to understand your finances. Itโs arguably the most important life skill you will ever learn. Step away from work now (even if it means using a week of vacation), so that you can step away from work later. Itโs the best gift you will ever give yourself. Most people think they need to grind harder, but maybe what they really need is to press pause for a second. Other factors that contributed to my portfolio growth: - Bull market - High risk tolerance - Growth stocks - Market timing - Employer match program - Stock Based Compensation program - Increased savings rate - Reinvested dividends - Luck ๐ read more
Lumentum (LITE) Revenue: $1.6B/year | P/E: N/A Lumentum makes lasers and optical parts used in AI data centers. As AI spending keeps growing, I think this company has a good chance to benefit. Coherent (COHR) Revenue: $5.7B/year | Forward P/E: ~30 Coherent is one of the biggest names in photonics. It sells products used in AI, telecom, and chip manufacturing, giving it several ways to grow. Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) Revenue:$650-700M expected this year | P/E: N/A AAOI makes the parts that connect AI servers together. It's a smaller company, so the stock can be more volatile, but I think it has some of the highest upside. Corning (GLW) Revenue:$14B/year | Forward P/E: ~21 Corning is best known for Gorilla Glass, but it also has a large optical communications business,Corning makes the fiber-optic cables used in AI data centers. It's a more established company, making it one of the safer ways to invest in this space. AXT (AXTI) Revenue: $110M/year | P/E: N/A AXT manufactures indium phosphide and gallium arsenide wafers, which are key materials used to make lasers and optical chips, It's a small company, but if demand for photonics keeps growing, it could benefit over the long term. These are all companies I'll be watching as AI infrastructure spending continues to grow and if money starts to flow to photonics through the second half as it seems to be starting. read more
$PLTR heads into todayโs earnings report with expectations calling for revenue around $1.8B, representing approximately 92% year-over-year growth. The market is watching closely to see whether Palantir can continue delivering exceptional AI-driven growth. I believe the company has a strong chance to outperform expectations, especially as enterprise AI adoption continues accelerating. A strong report could further reinforce $PLTRโs position as one of the leading AI software companies
โ ๏ธ Educational purposes only. I'm not a financial advisor. Braveheart Bio (Nasdaq: BRVE) Healthcare innovation is returning to the IPO market. Braveheart Bio is preparing to go public with a mission to develop treatments for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a disease that causes the heart muscle to thicken and makes it harder for the heart to pump blood efficiently. ๐ IPO Snapshot ๐ท๏ธ Ticker: BRVE ๐๏ธ Exchange: Nasdaq ๐ Expected listing: August 6, 2026 ๐ต Expected price range: $15โ$17 per share ๐ฐ Expected capital raised: Approximately $319 million ๐ฅ Sector: Biotechnology and cardiovascular medicine โค๏ธ Why Does It Matter? Braveheart Bio's lead drug candidate, BHB-1893, is designed to treat both obstructive and non-obstructive forms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The company plans to use the IPO proceeds to fund clinical trials and continue developing new therapies for cardiovascular diseases. โ ๏ธ Risks Investors Should Understand Biotech companies can offer tremendous growth potential, but they also face significant risks: โ Clinical trials may fail. โ Regulatory approvals can take years. โ Many biotech companies generate little or no revenue before commercialization. โ Additional funding may be needed in the future. ๐ Investor Lesson A breakthrough medical treatment does not automatically make a great investment. Before investing in a biotech IPO, ask yourself: - How advanced are the clinical trials? - Does the company generate revenue? - How large is the market opportunity? - What happens if the lead drug fails? Understanding the risks is just as important as understanding the opportunity. ๐ฌ Would you consider investing in healthcare innovation, or do you prefer technology and AI companies?

SpaceX raised a historic $85 billion in its IPO when it went public in June. $SPCX reported $24.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents at year-end 2025, which fell to $15.9 billion at the end of Q1 2026 in its initial S-1 filing. That figure later surged to $100.8 billion following IPO and notes offering in June. $SPCX is also now receiving a couple billion dollars per month from Anthropic and $GOOGL through 2029 to lease its AI compute capabilities. With the first share lockup expiration coming next week, selling pressure is expected to be quite significantโฆ But what about the case $SPCX actually reports surprisingly great earnings? The connectivity business through Starlink is highly profitable, and with $100.8 billion in cash now, SpaceX has more cash than enough to cover CapEx costs to continue to expand their AI infrastructure. I wouldnโt rule out a profitable quarter, but Iโm still not buying at this valuation. My personal entry price is at $55. read more
Congratulations to Jared on achieving the rising star award. We finally met in person today and he definitely made my experience super enjoyable! Thanks Jared you deserve it!!
I have been watching a few videos about the paycheque-to-portfolio model. Instead of getting paid, covering expenses, and investing whatever is left over, the strategy attempts to front-load the investing. The entire paycheque is deposited into investment assets, and margin is then used to cover the bills. I wanted to take a closer look at one of these accounts from October 2025 through the end of July 2026. One of the best parts about many of these creators is the level of transparency they provide. They are sharing deposits, withdrawals, margin balances, income, and account values in a way that is rarely seen in traditional finance. That gives us the opportunity to evaluate the strategy as it unfolds in real time. The gross portfolio value increased from $107,483.53 to $267,674.35, an increase of $160,190.82, or approximately 149%. Growing an account from roughly $107,000 to almost $268,000 in less than a year looks tremendous. However, the margin balance also increased from $5,188.85 to $125,351.66. That is an increase of more than $120,000, or approximately 2,315%. This means roughly 75% of the increase in the gross portfolio value came from additional margin debt. The investor currently owns approximately $267,674 of investments, but only $142,323 represents their own equity. The remaining $125,352 is borrowed money. Another way to look at it is that for every $1 of personal equity, there is now approximately $0.88 of margin debt invested alongside it. Between the end of October and the end of July, the person deposited approximately $154,557 into the account and withdrew approximately $114,697 to cover living expenses. That leaves net external contributions of approximately: $154,557 โ $114,697 = $39,860 During the same period, the net account value increased from $102,294.68 to $142,322.69, an increase of approximately $40,028. That means the growth above the personโs net contributions was only around: $40,028 โ $39,860 = $168. Based on the spreadsheet, the investorโs equity has essentially grown by the amount of money they contributed. The investments themselves appear to have produced almost no net total return over this period after accounting for margin interest and changes in the value of the holdings. From November through July, the account generated approximately: $4,976 in option income $18,561 in dividends $23,537 in total portfolio income $2,759 in margin interest $20,777 in net income after interest That sounds like strong income generation. However, the account only grew by approximately $168 beyond the personโs net contributions. This suggests that roughly $20,600 of capital depreciation or other investment losses offset the dividends and option income being generated. The cash flow is real, but it does not necessarily represent new wealth. In this case, the portfolio paid out more than $20,000 after interest, while declining investment values appear to have absorbed almost all of that income. The strategy has successfully created a much larger portfolio, but the increase in account size can be misleading. Most of the growth came from additional deposits and rising margin debt rather than investment returns. The portfolio is getting bigger, but based on these numbers, the investorโs actual wealth is not growing at nearly the same rate. I am not sure how successful a strategy like this would be over a much longer period, especially through a prolonged bear market or a stretch of rising borrowing costs. But it does provide an interesting glimpse into a fully functioning paycheque-to-portfolio strategy and gives us the opportunity to watch the benefits, risks, and trade-offs play out in real time. read more
Morgan Stanley: โ60%+ of enterprises use open-weight models as part of their stack.โ The key takeaway is that open models are not replacing the AI ecosystem โ they are expanding it. Many enterprises are adopting open-weight models for specific use cases where speed, security, customization, and frequent deployment matter. The AI race is becoming more diversified: $NVDA โ powering the compute layer $MSFT โ enterprise AI adoption $GOOGL โ models, cloud, and AI infrastructure $AMZN โ scalable cloud AI services $META โ open-source AI ecosystem The future likely wonโt belong to only closed or open models.

Currently Iโm just focusing on a safe long term growth portfolio, Iโm running: 50% $VOO 25% $QQQ 25% $AVUV Contemplating adding an individual or two, would you guys recommend adding any? If so what.
Am I the only one that finds the "NAV erosion" discourse to be utterly stupid? CC fund investors talk about "oh this fund doesn't have any NAV erosion" and you look at the fund and it's some single stock CC ETF for a stock that's been performing well since the fund was launched. If you don't understand how these funds work, isn't it incredibly dumb to be invested in them? Before I invested into factor funds, I read books and academic articles about factor investing. Before I invested in a convertible arb fund, I read the textbook written by the fund manager on convertible arb. Why do "income investors" think it's okay to be so ignorant about the funds they invest in?
Hello investors, I just started investing in some ETFs. The goal is to live off ETF dividends while adding growth ETFs. Any beginner strategy to start with? This is my portfolio, and I am very excited to start my journey to retire early. Please give me advice and experiences; I am willing to absorb them.
$QQQ pushing toward 700 as money rotates back into chip and memory stocks. If 700 breaks and holds, 707โ710 could be the next area to watch. $MU remains on watch.

If momentum stays intact, a move toward new all-time highs around 7620 is on the radar. โ ๏ธ Let price confirm the breakout before chasing. Manage risk and stay patient.
