Believe it or not, I’m back to breakeven in my long-term portfolio. And it’s not because I played it safe — I went full speculative at the bottom.
I told myself I wouldn’t touch this account for 10 years. Of course, I look at it every day, but I haven’t made a move. I went in on names like Nvidia (NVDA), Meta (META) and Amazon (AMZN).
And it’s working — Amazon alone popped 4.3% Wednesday after being up as much as 8%.
This wasn’t about finding deep value. It was a gut call. Market sentiment was shot, and I figured we were overdue for a rip. So I went for stocks that could fly if we caught a bid — in a long-term account in case we have more pain ahead.
Meta, Amazon and Nvidia Are Carrying the Load
Meta is my favorite for upside. It still has room to run compared to the other Mag 7 stocks, and if it even starts to close that gap, it could be a monster.
Amazon’s a core position. It’s solid, has the growth engines in place, and it was beaten down enough to make the risk-reward attractive.
I still like Nvidia, but I’ll be honest — I’m watching it closely. I didn’t say it was my favorite here. There are concerns right now, like competition out of China, and I’m not blind to them.
Why I’m Still Cautious
Just because we’ve seen a bounce doesn’t mean I’m chasing. In fact, for swing trades, I’ve told people to size down. Right now, the market feels like a coin flip. A Trump headline or tariff rumor overnight can flip sentiment before the open or any time intraday.
It’s like trading on ice skates.
That’s why I’m focusing more on short-term opportunities and day trading. The intraday moves have been massive — instead of a half-percent S&P swing, we’re getting 2% to 3%. That’s where the edge is right now.
This market’s fun — in a chaotic kind of way — but I’m not confusing fun with easy. I’m staying nimble, and when it comes to my long-term account, I’m letting the speculative names work. So far, they are.
