The S&P's 5 out of 500 - Mar. 24-28, 2025

It's been fantastic having the sun stay up after 6. I love spring. The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, pollen is getting absolutely everywhere. It's fantastic. It looks like the market is starting to come back up again. The absolute craziness in the market right now has been... not so good, in my professional opinion. But, it looks like it's starting to get better. 

Here are the top five leading stocks for this week.

The reason this is important is because this blog focuses on momentum trading. Momentum trading believes that stocks that lead tend to keep leading and stocks that lag tend to keep lagging. There will be some exceptions, but this rule tends to stay true. In the case that it doesn't, exit out. Regardless of whether you momentum trade, this information is still valuable. At the very least, you'll have some stocks to consider.

Our Blog Portfolio

This is where our portfolio was last post. It's not looking too hot. I would suggest looking at it through the spaces in your fingers while your hand covers your eyes. I know I should've. This hit me like a flashbang. 

Ugh.

This really goes to show that you need to keep up with your portfolio constantly. 

Yikes again.

Portfolio Upkeep

We're removing, like, literally everything. 

I guess we're going to start over from scratch! 

Where'd ya go?

I know what everyone is thinking. "Where did you go?" "We missed you!" "Why'd you abandon us!" And I know, it must've been terribly difficult for everyone. All zero of you must have been absolutely heartbroken. 

I'm a student, and school got in the way a little bit. But, now, I'm back! 

I hope everyone (and every-bot reading) has a good weekend.

Xoxo!
