Welcome To February!

Hey,

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

• S&P 500: -0.98%
• Nasdaq 100: -1.39% 
• Russel 2000: -0.97%
• Bitcoin: -2.33%

Last week, major technology companies reported their quarterly earnings. Microsoft announced a 12% year-over-year increase in revenue, totaling $69.63 billion, surpassing analyst expectations. Meta Platforms also exceeded forecasts, reporting earnings per share of $8.02 and a 21% rise in sales to $48.4 billion. Tesla's results were bolstered by its energy division, contributing to a 4.7% increase in its stock price. Apple reported record revenue of $124.3 billion, with earnings per share of $2.40, though iPhone sales experienced a slight decline.

Despite these positive earnings reports, the stock market faced significant challenges during the week. The unveiling of China's AI startup DeepSeek's R1 model, which offers advanced reasoning capabilities at a lower cost, led to a substantial sell-off in major tech stocks. Nvidia's stock dropped nearly 18%, and other tech giants like Microsoft, Palantir, and Alphabet also experienced declines.

Looking ahead, you should monitor several key economic indicators. On Monday, ISM will release its PMI for January, providing insights into the health of the manufacturing sector. Additionally, BLS is scheduled to release the January employment report on Friday. These updates will be crucial for assessing the economy's trajectory and potential implications for monetary policy. The most impactful news will be related to any escalation of the newly announced trade war. The situation is very much fluid -- Have your notifications on! As always, stock to your trading plan and respect your risk. Godspeed.

Best,

Thicc Kohrs
