I see strong demand for semiconductors and memory, and this continues through the medium term. This is clearly the hot theme in the market at the moment. I have jumped on the bandwagon.

The other hot theme is space, although this seems more risky and volatile than semis.

Re quantum, most are down 40-60% from October. It's still very early stage experimental technology. Sales are lumpy. So it's high risk and volatile. Given how much they are down, the share prices are worth watching as there may be some strong recovery gains to be made, but it's all driven by speculation.
Well jet engines use fuel. So if oil prices drop then more maintenance and less chance of flight cancellations
Zoom out They up are up. FOMO caused a spike in October time

Nah zoom out and they're still down.
Intel just not stopping....
I want to buy more - but I just don't know how this rise is justified
Reminds me of the Nvidia craziness a while a back, huge leaps pre-results, then it just didn't stop
PS. Yes I sold those shares just before the big rises (another Covid purchase and thought it was all "priced" in....like RR shares )

Markets are just a sea of green, oil is down.
Sold the last bits of my Intel/AMD/Micron as it feels a bit too excitable to me.
Picked up some Novo and Nvidia.

yeah - intel just mental but still holding - I'm miles up (over 350%) so even a large pull back doesn't really phase me.
My pension is up 12% since 1st April....The bounce from the small dip around the start of the Iran situation is mental.

Please make some attempt at market commentary!!! Merely telling us your financial movements is of no value to us (or me at least).
Market very good
I dont know what else to say! im not day trading or buying shares on individual companies? maybe its useful information for people who want to invest in an ETF, or are looking to switch from a cash ISA to a S&S ISA on an ETF.
the gains in one month have been significant in comparison to a Cash ISA. Im giving my examples
For example, on 63k on a 3.60% cash ISA rate, i make around £190-£199 interest per month,
on 20k S&S ISA in an ETF in one month so far i have made around the £1.5k mark
That maybe enough for people to look at switching or having a S&S ISA side by side

Does now seem blow off top looking, given the trajectory and market sentiment. However, markets can go further in either direction than expected, so not calling for a near term top yet.
My main strategy is look at companies involved in the supply of emerging markets, then google their price forecast. If their low forecast is around the current price or higher and the medium and hight price forcast looks 20% up or beyond then I buy.
All I'm really doing is looking at online buy signals and that is it. I don't really know a whole lot more than that and my stocks ISA is up 73%.
I can't believe I wasn't doing this 10 years ago. I'm sure this is all just the luck of being in a bull market and keep thinking I should take my profits and run. I'm looking to move more into silver and copper suppliers and bought into a silver miner yesterday.
I think the AI market is real, but obviously in a bubble to some degree and the growth will be upstream of the end product soon.
