📈 Long-Term Stock Investment Strategy

NOTE: We added META on Nov 14th.

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 Friday, November 14, 2025

Friday, November 14, 2025, was characterized by heavy volatility and a mixed close, completing the first losing week for the major US indices in four weeks. The day began with a global sell-off but saw a strong intra-day rebound in US stocks.

📈 Equities (Stocks)

US indices opened sharply lower but managed to recover most of their losses, signaling a volatile, two-sided market:

The Nasdaq Composite staged a significant comeback after initially plunging, managing to close up +0.1% at $22,900.59. This remarkable reversal was largely driven by a sharp rebound in chip and AI-related stocks.
The S&P 500 finished largely flat, with a minimal dip of -0.1%, closing at $6,734.11.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was the weakest performer, declining by -0.7% (310 points), closing at $47,147.48.

Technology Stocks were the focal point of the day. Nvidia, which has been at the center of the recent AI bubble anxiety, opened down significantly but then stormed back to post a gain of +1.8% and dragged the Nasdaq into positive territory. This move came a day after the company led the broad market to its worst session in a month.

International markets were broadly negative. The FTSE 100 fell by -1.1% in London, and Asian markets, including Japan's Nikkei 225, saw sharp declines due to both US tech jitters and weak Chinese economic data showing a record slump in fixed-asset investment.

🏛️ Bonds

US Treasury prices fell (yields rose) on Friday, reflecting the market's continuing reassessment of Federal Reserve policy and the improved risk appetite seen during the equity market's mid-day rebound.

The yield on the benchmark US 10-Year Treasury note rose to approximately 4.14% from 4.11% late Thursday. This upward movement in yields indicated that the bond market is dialing back expectations for aggressive near-term Fed rate cuts, partly due to the recent cautious commentary from Fed speakers.

💰 Commodities

Commodity prices were heavily influenced by supply fears and a major reversal in the energy sector:

Crude Oil (WTI and Brent) saw a strong surge. WTI Crude gained approximately +2.15% to settle near $59.95 per barrel, while Brent Crude rose over +2.0% to settle at $64.39 per barrel. The rally was triggered by fresh geopolitical tensions, specifically reports of a Ukrainian attack on a key Russian oil port and an oil tanker seizure in the Middle East, injecting a significant geopolitical premium into prices.
US Natural Gas (Henry Hub) futures finally took a breather after a strong run, declining by approximately -1.72% to close near $4.57 per MMBtu. This was seen as profit-taking following its multi-month high hit earlier in the week.
Gold saw a notable decline of about -2.5% to $4,090 per ounce, as its safe-haven appeal diminished amid the rally in yields and the partial stabilization of the equity market.

💱 Foreign Exchange (FX)

The US Dollar Index (DXY) posted a slight gain, advancing about +0.1% to 99.27.

The modest Dollar strength was primarily supported by the rising US Treasury yields, which made Dollar-denominated assets more attractive.
The British Pound was under pressure against the Dollar after the UK Chancellor announced changes to tax plans in the budget.
Overall currency trading was choppy as markets struggled to reconcile fears over economic slowdown and tech valuations with the rebounding risk sentiment.
