The U.S. stock market has taken a sharp hit recently, with many attributing the decline to renewed fears of tariffs and trade tensions. Amid this volatility, I’ve been monitoring my holdings closely, particularly Pfizer (PFE), along with TLT, TLH, Occidental Petroleum (OXY), and Ready Capital (RC). Market Recap: On a turbulent day for equities, defensive assets like U.S. Treasuries gained, with both TLT (20+ Year Treasuries) and TLH (10–20 Year Treasuries) rising, signaling a risk-off environment. These gains reflect investors’ move toward safety as uncertainty looms over trade and macroeconomic policy. iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) iShares 10-20 Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLH) OXY plunged 11.01%, likely due to weakness in the energy sector, possibly tied to falling oil prices.

Go TLT! Keep rising! I have full confidence in this ETF!

April has historically been a strong month for equities. According to the Stock Trader’s Almanac, it’s the second-best month for the major U.S. indexes — the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq — since 1971. In post-election years, going back to 1950, April has continued to shine, typically ranking as the second-best month for the Dow and S&P 500, and third-best for the Nasdaq. But this April? It’s off to a rough start. Market Mood Despite the optimistic seasonality, recent action tells a very different story. Just yesterday, the markets saw a sharp selloff that rattled investors: Dow Jones: down 3.98% Nasdaq: down 5.97% S&P 500: down 4.84% S&P 500 (.SPX) These are not monthly corrections — they are major single-day losses, and they come amid rising fears around Trump’s tariff policie

When I want to buy stocks, the share price keeps falling, so I often do the logical thing—keep adjusting my limit price down… until I never actually get to buy the stock. But if I finally manage to buy it? Boom. The stock crashes faster than my confidence. 📉 And if I don’t get to buy? Oh, suddenly, the stock decides to take off like a rocket, leaving me behind like I missed my flight. 🚀 At this point, I’m convinced the stock market isn’t about supply and demand—it’s just waiting to personally mess with me.

In trading, two main strategies emerge: left-side trading and right-side trading. Each approach comes with its own risks and rewards, and the choice largely depends on an individual’s risk tolerance, market knowledge, and investment goals. Understanding Left-Side Trading Left-side trading refers to entering the market before a trend is confirmed. Traders who follow this strategy attempt to predict market movements in advance, often relying on technical indicators, historical price patterns, and market sentiment. For example, when Tesla’s stock price dropped significantly, many investors speculated that it would continue declining, with some even predicting it would fall below $200. However, left-side traders might have seen this as an opportunity, believing that the stock was undervalued a

I closed $Direxion Daily Small Cap Bull 3x Shares(TNA)$  ,I bought and sold TNA within just 10 minutes. The high volatility allows for faster trades and quicker profit opportunities.

I opened $Direxion Daily Small Cap Bull 3x Shares(TNA)$  ,TNA usually exhibits high volatility and a large enough daily range, which provides ample opportunities for executing quick trades and capturing short-term profits.

I closed $Direxion Daily Small Cap Bull 3x Shares(TNA)$  ,I sold TNA because the market may still be worried about the potential impact of tariffs. Today's low was $27.46 and I felt the current price was still a bit high. If concerns about tariffs escalate, there is a chance the stock could dip further, so I preferred to lock in my gains and wait for a better re-entry point.

I opened $Direxion Daily Small Cap Bull 3x Shares(TNA)$  ,I'm willing to trade TNA because its current price is well below the 52-week high. With the 52-week range between $28.40 and $58, I believe the risk of bagholding is lower when the price is on the lower end of that range.

I closed $Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$  ,I sold SOXL because while its current price is low relative to the 52-week low, it still remains relatively high compared to its all-time low. Additionally, considering the potential impact of tariffs, I decided to sell.

I opened $Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$  ,SOXL closed at $16.03 last Friday, down 9.74% from the previous trading day, and continued to drop further during the overnight market today. SOXL can be quite volatile, and given the significant recent price decline, I decided to buy it for a short-term trade, as I believe there's a potential for a rebound.

I closed $Direxion Daily 20 Year Plus Treasury Bull 3x Shares(TMF)$  ,I decided to sell TMF in the overnight market because I believe leveraged ETFs like TMF are more suitable for short-term trading rather than long-term holding. These ETFs use derivatives to amplify returns, which can be advantageous in the short term but also lead to higher volatility. Over longer periods, the effects of daily rebalancing and compounding can cause them to stray from their intended performance, particularly if the market is flat or volatile. Additionally, I'm cautious about holding them overnight due to the lower liquidity in the overnight market compared to regular trading hours. When the price moved enough for a potential profit, I took the opportunity to s
