Trading Observations
If you are in the SPY and chill crowd, the last few months have been a calm, rangebound grind.
If you bet on individual stocks however, the innerworkings or the market have been nothing short of a war.
Software and crypto related have all gotten wrecked as AI apparently makes both obsolete.
We would agree there’s a challenge to both business models, but doubt software is dying as an asset class anytime soon, and see reasons why the bottom might be in (see our LinkedIn Video).
Today we get CPI, which is probably a non-event.
Next week is likely a lot of NVDA earnings setup.
The best sector of 2025 so far? Industrials…the true picks and shovels of datacenter build. Just don’t look at CAT’s P/E multiple.

Bitcoin – That candle that touched 60,000 looks kind of like a crescendo of selling for now – Higher today

Financials / Consumer / Healthcare
COIN – Up 5% - Revenue was down 25%, and they lost money somehow, but given the crypto winter, the stock had already had enough of a beating.
WEN – Down 8% - Losing market share to slop bowls.
DKNG – Down 16% - Soft FY guide. The extra money for gamblers has likely been eaten up by interest rates, insurance, and heat these days.
ABNB – Up 7% - Solid bookings data. Olympics and World Cup helping.
AAP – up 11% on solid execution. Cars staying out in use for the win here.
BROS – Up 13% on solid growth and execution.
CALY – Down 13% - Callaway down 13% on continued golf weakness. Scheffler needs an enemy, WWF style.
GS – Losing a lawyer over Epstein ties. The head of the DP World Tour (Euro Golf) was also taken down.
Technology
PINS – Down 21% - The cheapish internet property has negative ad trends, and as growth goes, so does the stock.
ROKU – Up 14% - Stable footing as an entry to non-cable TV for folks and ad revenue up nicely.
ANET – Up 11% - A positive networking report, especially post CSCO.
AMAT – Up 11% - Semicap equipment showing no signs of stopping.
Industrials
RIVN – Up 22% -Solid delivery numbers are spurring upgrades. Their new R2 SUV starts at $45k, and we will bet is going to be a massive hit. The company still loses a ton of money but is on a path to success. TSLA likely the loser in autos here.
TPH – Tri-Pointe Homes up 26% on announced merger with Sumitomo Forestry, a Japanese builder, with hopes to use the scale to create a leading US homebuilder.
FCX – Upgraded to hold at Argus.
