My Take
I said it when Israel attacked Iran last week and I’ll say it again
“If World War 3 can’t bring down this market, what can?”
That arrogance has gotten me in trouble in the past when buying thinking that so let’s make a list of things that could take this market down:
Oil going higher based on a geopolitical retaliation from Iran
Tariffs - we’re not through with that fiasco YET
Inflation - Oil and Tariffs could both cause a spike
The Unknown - it’s never something that’s clear - the housing market is currently in a bit of trouble and AI valuations are high - what if AI hits a road block like dot com did in 2000?
None of that is meant to say you should be on the sidelines. I’ve still got money to invest and I’ve been trying to “buy the dip” in a big way since I did back in April. I made quite a bit of money on that dip currently and I think there’s more to be made. We are clearly in a bull market and there’s plenty of optimism, but I’m still being cautious and trying to be quality names. Like I said, I’ve got 4 sets of lists to buy here:
Top 2nd half 2025 stocks that I haven’t bought yet
Top 2025 stocks that are in an upward trend
Alpha Picks stocks that are in an upward trend
Several others that I’ve mentioned are on my watch list

Pod Notes
Monday
I listened to The Compound Podcast this weekend and it was a gem. Chart kid Matt killed it - you should be following him. From his look at the mag 7 to the S&P drawdowns and how the market is trading cheaper and better than back at the all time highs in 2021 - it’s just a further reason to get bullish before we go over world war 3.
Now what am I buying the dip on?
top 2nd half 2025 stocks that I haven’t bought yet
Top 2025 stocks that are in an upward trend
Alpha picks stocks that are in an upward trend
Several others that I’ve mentioned are on my watch list

📈 Market Volatility
What if the market were open Saturday?
And yet what happened? BUY THE DIP
🔴 The Week Ahead
This week includes $ccl earnings on Tuesday
Wednesday- $mu reports
Thursday - $nke - it’s still expensive
Friday - core pce for May - inflation - this won’t matter about rate cuts though. Remember - Powell wants to see the effect of tariffs and politically no matter what you think of the Iran attacks - Trump keeps shooting himself in the foot. He keeps doing things that cause uncertainty and then yelling that Powell doesn’t want to cut rates. The economy is doing fine without rate cuts. Let me just fill you in on something - TRUMP DOESN’T WANT TO CUT SPENDING!!!!!!!
Doge and Elon are gone - didn’t amount to much of anything and the big beautiful bill increases the deficit. HE WANTS TO CONTINUE SPENDING AT A RECORD PACE.
😃 Today’s biggest movers
Biggest movers include $tsla with autonomous driving, $fi with a stable coin and $ntrs with a potential merger and acquisition - this is a bull market.
🚘 Tesla ( TSLA 0.00%↑ )
You may have heard there was a big event this weekend - robotaxi for $tsla

And what happens if you tip the robotaxi?
🔑 5 key things to know today
There is no clear consensus on the damage from the bombings. Literally the market is assuming nothing happened.
Oil has rebounded from dropping this weekend - Iran may not close the straits of Hormuz - there is no world consensus for higher oil prices
Bitcoin rebounded back above $100k
Apple needs to buy an ai and has thought about buying perplexity. Imagine if Apple bought openai for $500b - the stock would go up - not down.
Stocks
Do you want 5 growth stocks in your portfolio? Here are 5 of them from Shay - which ones have room to grow? Tell me
🍎 United Healthcare ( UNH 0.00%↑ )
$unh - is it cheap?
And what about this? Is it true?
🍎 Apple ( AAPL 0.00%↑ )
One other bargain might be $aapl
Buy in June while it’s down for the July bounce maybe?
It’s still an ai market
Retail Trades to keep an eye on
While $oscr continues to be the retail darling, $zeta is out there now being talked about.
And $crcl is up again
Here’s a strategy for you from a seeking alpha analyst that to me makes sense - am I doing this? No - because I am not an options guy - but this could pay for your seeking alpha subscription - again - the tool is about finding strategies that work for you
And to go along with volatile stocks in the market - $HIMS is down close to 20% because $NOVO terminates its partnership with them.
