Today ain't my day. I discuss my background as well as add another diary entry to my YouTube channel.

I am trying to grow this portfolio WITHOUT selling, and I do not know how realistic this goal is. All in all, I know that the recent increases in the prices for $VOO (+0,9%) , $SCHD , $SCHY , $SCHG , $VYMI , $VUG (+0,98%) , $DGRO , $QQQ , and $TQQQ have increased a good amount.

However, out benevolent tech dictatorial oligarchs have really not released any positive news. Therefore, I am quite hesitant to invest in big tech at the moment. Maybe in the near future, big tech will be selling at more palatable prices.

I am trying to manage my money as best as I can. I see the underlying shifts etc but who knows exactly how much the US can lose while the rest of the planet gains???

Follow me for unbiased and straight to the blood commentary as well as information. I am a type of devil, but at least I am predictable...

$AAPL (-0,25%) attacked $GOOG (+1,29%) .

FED maintained its interest rate fearing unemployment.

$NVDA (+3,5%) is up due to Trump's decision to ease export regulation. A ripple effect started throughout the industry, moving a lot of companies up. They say "A rising tide helps all boats" and this is certainly true in $NVDA (+3,5%) 's case. In fact, I'm afraid that Nvidia might become a hype company like $TSLA (-1,58%) and $PLTR (+5,5%) ...

Regardless, the market picked up significantly in the after hours.

Also, is China looking like it is losing the trade war? Increased stimulus and rate cuts in China mean that the CCP is making it easier for Chinese citizens to borrow.

Meanwhile, the Taiwanese dollar is still getting stronger. This may become a significant headache for the US and the FED.

The Euro lost some value compared to the USD today. Still, since Trump's presidency, the Euro is stronger than it has been in years. European leaders are looking to devalue the Euro to make exports more attractive. This forex activity needs a lot of time to play out, of course.

What about "Great" Britain? The GBP is going down the drain, and my main complaint about $SCHY is that it has too much exposure to the UK. In my humblest of opinions, $VYMI > $SCHY , but I am investing in both.

Lastly, I regret not having invested more in $RHM (+0,7%) ...
