Market’s selling off today. S&P down 1.2%, Nasdaq down 1.6%, Dow down over 500 points.
What’s happening:
Tech getting hit hard on AI disruption fears. Cisco down 12% on weak guidance—spooked the whole sector. Mega-caps (Apple, Amazon, Meta) all down 3%+. Software stocks down nearly 4%.
Strong jobs data yesterday killed rate cut hopes. Fed staying hawkish longer = market adjusting.
What this means for us:
Our plays are deep swings—we’re not day trading, so daily noise doesn’t break us. MNST (6/18), AROC (5/15) have runway. HON and HWM already hit targets.
The rotation is still intact. Notice what’s getting destroyed: tech and software. What’s holding up: industrials, energy, consumer discretionary—exactly where we’ve been positioned.
CPI drops tomorrow (Friday). That’s the real test. Market is choppy heading into it—this is normal.
Your move:
∙ Don’t panic. Check your stop losses (35% rule).
∙ If you’re in cash, stay patient.
Down days are shopping days, but let the dust settle.
If you hit your stop, you cut. No hoping. No waiting “one more day.”
The market rewards discipline, not emotion.
Trade wisely. Stay sharp.
