While the Euro Stoxx 50 saw a massive surge, our focus shifted toward hedging against rising global risks. ๐™„๐™ฃ๐™™๐™š๐™ญ / ๐™‹๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™›๐™ค๐™ก๐™ž๐™ค ๐™’๐™š๐™š๐™ ๐™ก๐™ฎ ๐™‹๐™š๐™ง๐™›๐™ค๐™ง๐™ข๐™–๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™š ๐™Š๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™ฅ๐™š๐™ง๐™›๐™ค๐™ง๐™ข๐™–๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™š ๐™ˆ๐™ฎ ๐™‹๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™›๐™ค๐™ก๐™ž๐™ค +1.33% โ€” $SPX500 +1.15% +0.18% $NSDQ100 +1.21% +0.12% $EUSTX50 +2.49% -1.16% ๐Ÿ›  ๐™Ž๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™–๐™ฉ๐™š๐™œ๐™ž๐™˜ ๐™‹๐™ž๐™ซ๐™ค๐™ฉ: ๐˜ฟ๐™š๐™›๐™š๐™ฃ๐™จ๐™š & ๐˜พ๐™ค๐™ข๐™ข๐™ค๐™™๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™š๐™จ The primary theme this week was risk management.

Strategy: These are tactical trades. If we see fast profits in metals this week, I will look to close these deals quickly. ๐Ÿฎ. ๐™๐™๐™š ๐˜ฟ๐™š๐™›๐™š๐™ฃ๐™จ๐™š ๐™Ž๐™ช๐™ฅ๐™š๐™ง-๐˜พ๐™ฎ๐™˜๐™ก๐™š As Europe accelerates its military spending (with targets moving toward 5% of GDP), I have increased exposure to the defense sector: New Positions: $WDEF.L (WisdomTree Europe Defence UCITS ETF) $ITA (iShares US Aerospace & Defense ETF) and the newly listed $CSG.NV (Czechoslovak Group) ๐Ÿฏ. ๐™๐™š๐™˜๐™ & ๐™‚๐™ง๐™ค๐™ฌ๐™ฉ๐™ Datadog ( $DDOG (Datadog Inc) ): Added as a high-conviction long-term investment.

While the numbers were strong, they didn't quite hit the "moonshot" expectations of the market, but the fundamentals remain solid. ๐Ÿง  ๐™„๐™ฃ๐™ซ๐™š๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™ง ๐™‰๐™ค๐™ฉ๐™š: ๐™‹๐™๐™ž๐™ก๐™ค๐™จ๐™ค๐™ฅ๐™๐™ฎ & ๐™‹๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™š๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™š Iโ€™ve noticed some copiers leaving, and I understandโ€”the market is expensive, and "fast profits" are harder to find without taking reckless risks. My former strategy of hunting for short squeezes is still active, but patience is a position. I am not here to chase green candles for the sake of show; I am here to protect and grow capital. My own money is on the line alongside yours. I am currently evaluating moving into US Large Caps with 5x leverage if the right entry points appear. Bottom Line: We are keeping a very close eye on Iran. The strategy remains agile: looking for news-driven opportunities while maintaining a defensive core.
