Hi there,
Yesterday, Monday, February 9, 2026, Wall Street saw a resilient performance as the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average notched its second consecutive close above the historic 50,000 mark. Technology shares led a broad rally, with AI-linked names driving the Nasdaq higher as investors braced for a heavy week of economic data.
π S&P 500 Active Trade Tracker
The trade has swung into a 2.55% ROI since we placed the trade just one week ago. We are also on track to deliver the full 4% ROI by the end of February. There is nothing to do with this trade, which now has a 98% probability of profit!
Crucially, the Index at 6,964 remains well above our 6,400 strike and our 6,376.31 breakeven. The index would need to fall another 8% before we would face a loss on Feb 27th. We are letting the accelerated premium decay do the work for us. No action required.
π Long-Term Buy Watchlist Update
Yesterdayβs rotation into tech provided a clear sign of where the "smart money" is moving.
-
DELL, NVDA & AMD: These remain our primary targets. NVDA surged +2.50% to close at $190.04, showing strong momentum. DELL held steady at $120.91, consolidating beautifully above its recent breakout point. AMD also saw a positive session as it recovers toward its moving averages. We anticipate adding these to our long-term buy-and-hold portfolio in the coming days as the consolidation patterns complete.
-
Wait & See: For CRM, PYPL, and ORCL, we are seeing mixed signals. ORCL was the star of the day, soaring +9.66% to $156.61 following a major analyst upgrade. We are watching for this to stop making lower highs and establish a firm base before we commit.
π Portfolio Spotlight: Alphabet (GOOGL)
Alphabet finished the day at $324.12. While it has pulled back from its all-time highs of $343 seen last week, it remains up approximately 120% since our purchase last May.
-
The Strategy: We continue to hold. We view this current breather as healthy consolidation after a massive run.
-
Note: As previously mentioned, we are not buyers at these levels, but we remain long and will ride the stock higher.
