Week 4 – Market Resilience & Portfolio Rebalancing

​As we move through the final week of May, the portfolio continues to show resilience despite some sector-specific volatility. Intel (INTC) maintaining a dominant position with a +150.78% gain, and Astera Labs (ALAB) following strong with +69.11%.

​Trade Recaps: Trimming & Adding

​Taking Profits: After hitting triple-digit gains, I have been actively trimming my position in POET Tech to lock in those wins

​New Additions: I have increased exposure to Astera Labs and NVIDIA to lean further into the AI infrastructure growth cycle.

​Portfolio Cleanup: I have begun rotating capital out of some underperforming assets to streamline the holdings, evidenced by the reduction in certain positions that were dragging on the total portfolio weight.

​Insights & Strategy

​The strategy remains focused on "picks and shovels" within the AI trade. Even with the Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM) and Cisco (CSCO) showing slight red, the outsized performance of chipmakers and AI infrastructure stocks provides a cushion. My risk management remains centered on trailing stops, especially on high-beta names, to protect capital from sudden market pullbacks.

​Risk Management

​The volatility in names like Hims & Hers (-28.41%) and Uranium Energy (-12.20%) serves as a constant reminder to keep position sizes small in speculative growth plays. Moving forward, I am keeping a close eye on the broader macro environment to ensure that my concentration in semiconductor stocks doesn't become an excessive risk if the market enters a consolidation phase.
