Our year-to-date Return on Investment (ROI) is exceptional, driven by a sustained 93% success rate using our proprietary short put strategy on SPY. This is a critical area where seeking additional knowledge is highly recommended.

📈 Long-Term Stock Investment Strategy

NOTE: We will be adding META today to this portfolio targeting a 25% upside.

These positions are based on fundamentally sound companies that represent compelling long-term buying opportunities. We are committed to a patient, buy-and-hold approach, willing to maintain these stocks for multiple years or until the target price is achieved. This strategy is ideal for less active investors with a long time horizon.

We've already closed out two positions Entain and Vestas Wind Systems, one with a 50% gain and another with a 30% gain, both achieved in less than six months.

📈 Short Term Stock Trade Strategy

These companies are fundamentally sound and their recent stock sell-offs represent a buying opportunity. While we aim for quick, short-term exits, we are comfortable holding these positions for the longer term if they trade lower.

We will refrain from adding any new short-term stock trades until we have exited at least two of the current positions. Our commitment is to maintain all existing trades until their short-term target prices are achieved.

📅 Market Review for Thursday, November 13, 2025

Thursday, November 13, 2025, was a strongly risk-off day for markets. US stocks sold off sharply, particularly in the technology sector, as investors took profits following the previous session's rally and refocused on concerns over high valuations and economic uncertainty despite the end of the US government shutdown.

📈 Equities (Stocks)

US indices posted sharp declines, snapping the recent winning streak:

The Nasdaq Composite was the hardest hit, plunging by over -2.0% and hitting a three-week low, as the technology sell-off intensified.
The S&P 500 dropped by over -1.0%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average also fell, but its decline was less severe, suggesting a rotation into more defensive or value sectors occurred beneath the surface.

The sell-off was triggered by a "buy the rumor, sell the news" reaction to the end of the US government shutdown, combined with a batch of disappointing company earnings. Disney shares sank nearly 8% after missing revenue estimates, and high-flying Tesla stock fell around 7% on China sales concerns. The overall mood was characterized by anxiety over the upcoming deluge of delayed US economic data, which investors fear may show the economy is weaker than previously thought.

In Europe, the FTSE 100 pulled back sharply, dropping by -1.1%, as investors weighed the US uncertainty and disappointing UK GDP data.

🏛️ Bonds

US Treasury prices fell (yields rose) as the risk-off mood failed to translate into a rush for safety in fixed income.

The yield on the benchmark US 10-Year Treasury note climbed to approximately 4.10% - 4.12%. This upward movement (a decline in bond prices) was likely due to a market correction of the recent deep rally, coupled with concerns that the government reopening could lead to higher Treasury issuance down the line.

💰 Commodities

Energy was mixed, while precious metals saw profit-taking:

US Natural Gas (Henry Hub) continued its remarkable upward momentum, posting another strong gain of +1.52% to close at approximately $4.602 per MMBtu. Prices are now trading at multi-month highs, fueled by high LNG export demand and forecasts for colder winter weather.
Crude Oil (WTI and Brent) saw modest rises for the day, with WTI Crude trading near $59.11 per barrel and Brent Crude around $63.03 per barrel. Prices stabilized as focus shifted back to the potential for stronger demand from a functioning US government.
Gold paused its recent rally, slipping by almost -1.0% to around $4,164 per ounce, as a correction occurred following the sharp gains earlier in the week.

💱 Foreign Exchange (FX)

The US Dollar Index (DXY) ended the day slightly lower (around -0.3%), as the significant drop in US stocks heightened the risk-off environment and the focus on the potential for Fed rate cuts.

The Swiss Franc (CHF) was the strongest performer, extending its dominance against the Dollar and other majors, as it attracted significant safe-haven flows from nervous equity markets.
The Japanese Yen (JPY) was also generally firmer against the Dollar as US yields backed off their highs. USD/JPY was trading near the 154.00 level.
The Euro (EUR) strengthened, with EUR/USD climbing to an 11-day high, as the weakness of the Dollar became the main driver.
