Last week was pure TACO + HALO. When Donald Trump hinted the Iran situation was wrapping up, oil pulled back and the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ bounced sharply. I’m still leaning into that setup—fade oil spikes like W&T Offshore and rotate into beneficiaries like Carnival as energy pressure eases, while watching for broader risk-on continuation.

What changed quickly is sentiment on HALO. Even Goldman Sachs is stepping back from crowded names like $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and $ASML Holding NV(ASML)$ . When weaker, low-quality names start outperforming, I take that as a sign the trade is overheated and positioning is stretched.

So I’m staying selective. I’m still bullish on AI long term, but I’m trimming momentum-driven exposure and focusing on companies with real earnings power. My approach now is simple—trade TACO tactically, but anchor my core portfolio in fundamentals and valuation discipline.
