Dear Traders, I've returned from two incredible weeks in Colombia, which has now topped my list of visited countries. What struck me most about Colombia is its peopleā€”their vibrant charm, zest for life, happiness, and, most importantly, their gratitude. During my surgery there with one of the world's best surgeons, something remarkable happened. On the last day, as my surgeon and I laughed and chatted to say goodbye, he thanked me for choosing Colombia and allowing...

Dear Traders, In Shakespeare's tragedy of Macbeth, Macbeth and his army's general, Banquo, encounter three witches who promise them a prophecy of Macbeth becoming the King of England. Banquo, the loyal general, challenges the witches by saying, 'If you can look into the seeds of time and tell which grain will grow and which will not, speak then to me.' At that time, Macbeth, only a Scottish warlord, could never have imagined becoming a king. As the...

Dear Traders, The human soul, in nature, is not inherently greedy. However, over the course of our 5,000-year civilization, we have developed both individual and collective forms of greed. Each person desires more, while society as a whole can also exhibit greed. A historical example of societal-level greed can be seen in the practice of colonialism during the European imperial expansion from the 15th to the 20th centuries. European powers sought to acquire vast territories in...

Dear Traders, Our brains guide our actions and decisions. When your mind is cloudy and unclear, making sound choices becomes challenging. This is a fundamental rule of life. As some of you may know, I underwent surgery in Colombia over the weekend, requiring six hours of anesthesia and potent painkillers. I spent Saturday night in the hospital and recovered at my Airbnb on Sunday. However, I decided to trade on Monday, not realizing that my mind was...

Dear Traders, Today, we witnessed a very strong market, especially led by IWM small caps. As you know, I've been long in TNA for a few weeks, and today, I am enjoying the benefits of a massive gain in this 3x leveraged product of IWM. I still hold the position, with my target set on IWM reaching near $200 levels. Brian also bought some TNA today at the open, live in front of everyone, and he's...

Dear Traders, Today, Thor and I traded at the open, as Brian was delayed in Bogota due to a missed flight but should be back in Canada for tomorrow's trading session. Trading was excellent, with the US GDP reporting a 5.4% growth for the past quarter, significantly higher than expected. The resilience of the US economy in the face of surging interest rates is truly remarkable. I executed one of my favorite trading patterns, the Bullish Engulfing...

Dear Traders, We witnessed some incredible trading today in the chatroom, which is always a source of joy for me. Three traders, Thor, Paras, and Jarad, each approached TSLA differently at the Open, and remarkably, they all ended up making profits. At times, their strategies were completely opposite of each other, but at the end of the day, they all were smiling. Paras even exclaimed, "I am so back," jokingly and saying ā€œI love you TSLAā€ that...

Dear Traders, We had an amazing meetup with many Bear Bull Traders members in Medellin. I am so grateful to have so many friends around the world. Not only did we have a good time together, but some of us exchanged WhatsApp numbers and planned an impromptu day trip together the next day. We explored some fine dining and enjoyed a great wine experience at one of the best restaurants in the suburbs of Medellin, Colombia. An...

Dear Traders, The bull market continues its strong run, and it's hard to ignore the exciting moves in the market. One of the most anticipated earnings reports this year was from NVDA, which was released on Wednesday after the market closed. The results were outstanding, surpassing expectations in all aspects. The only concern came from their guidance regarding the impact of China-US geopolitical tensions in the short term. Although investors didn't react significantly to the results in...

Dear Traders, Who would have thought that technology companies, which were struggling in 2022, would reach all-time highs so quickly, in less than a year? The QQQ index, representing the modern-day industrial sector, is now very close to an all-time high. NVDA is trading above $500 again, MSFT is near its all-time high, and Apple, which was struggling with revenue growth, is now trading well above $190. It's indeed a strong bull market. Some people still believe we...
