🧠 H1 2025 in One Word: Discipline
It wasn't the wild bull of 2020, nor the wreckage of 2022 — but H1 2025 demanded something harder: discipline. Every breakout begged to be chased. Every rate pivot rumor stirred hope. But the winners weren't the fastest — they were the most selective.
✅ My Best Trade: Staying Long $NVIDIA(NVDA)$
Back in April, I added to my $NVDA position on the dip around $100, despite sentiment wobbling on AI saturation. The logic?
EPS was solid, even if guidance was cautious
Long-term demand for AI infrastructure was intact
RSI reset to ~40 while fundamentals remained strong
By late June, the stock reclaimed $150+, and that trade remains my highest conviction hold. Discipline here meant trusting long-term thesis > short-term noise.
❌ Biggest Lesson: FOMO in $COIN and Getting Burned
My worst move? Chasing $COIN at $265 in March.
Bitcoin was surging
ETF headlines were everywhere
But I ignored the fact that transaction volumes weren’t improving
Add in SEC pressure and the cracks showed fast
Sold at a 15% loss in April. Lesson? Momentum without fundamentals = fragility. I let the headlines seduce me and paid the price.
🔁 Strategic Shifts for H2 2025
Here's how I'm tightening the screws:
Less chasing, more waiting: Watching setups mature before sizing in
Higher cash allocation: In choppy markets, capital preservation is alpha
Selective sector focus: Staying heavy in semis ($NVDA, $ASML), cautious on fintech
Also dabbling in short-term options around earnings — but only where the volatility pricing favors reward over hype.
🧭 Mindset Evolution: From Aggressive to Intentional
In 2020–21, I was chasing green candles.
In 2022, I learned humility.
In 2023, I was too cautious.
Now in 2025, Ive realized: Intent beats intensity.
Im not trying to beat the market every quarter.
Im trying to stay in the game with my edge intact.
