Here are my latest updates for my core positions, including recent news and a breakdown of the previous days macro economic data. Maybe a couple of interesting news bits and bobs for the general market sprinkled in as a bonus too.
Monday: CLSK and BTC
Tuesday: Tesla
Wednesday: SOFI
Thursday: PayPal
Monday – Last weeks CleanSpark and Bitcoin Update
πΎπͺπ§π§ππ£π© π¬πππππ©ππ£π: 3.53% for CLSK β I have deposited 185% cash into my Etoro account over the weekend and this has lowered my weighting in stocks temporarily. It should raise back to around 8% over the coming weeks as I deploy that cash.
πππ§πππ© π¬πππππ©ππ£π: 15% or less but may spike as the asset price rises.
ππͺπ£πππ’ππ£π©ππ‘π¨:
The good: Iβm not specifically trading this one based on its ββfairββ valuation like a lot of the stocks Iβm holding. Iβm using it as a leveraged BTC play. That said I do find CLSK the ββbest in classββ miner and its stock price depends a lot on the price of BTC. Thatβs a roundabout way of saying, should BTC peak in my expected $204K to $280k range, I would expect the ββfairββ value of CLSK to be between $45 and $120. Iβm sure you can appreciate that is a large range, so make sure you are paying attention to BTC price action.
The bad: The bond market is utilising an arbitrage play and driving short interest to silly highs.

πππππ£ππππ‘π¨:
Resistance: $96k at the volume shelf, $100k psychological level thatβs been strong support previously and approx. $110k at the orange trend line resistance.
Support: $92k bull market support band, Already had a nice back test on it, $88k FIB level, and $84k previous support.
ππ§ππ’π¨ ππ£π πΌπππ¨:
Would like to hold most of my current position to at least $20 at the whopper volume shelf. As mentioned previously I will also be adding a lot to this position at these low prices.
I have layered in and out of this stock multiple times and as a result most of the shares I own today are essentially βfreeββ, but even so I will likely take a big chunk of my position off the table as we approach the mid $40βs range (Around 75%), even though I think it will go higher. I talk about it all the time, Iβm not worried about timing tops and bottoms, I just want to get the meat of the move.
I also usually trim any large upside moves that are out of character and book some gains to add back later if we get a substantial drop. If that doesnβt happen, Iβm happy to hold my running position. Never be upset taking profits.
I do still have a few legacy positions on this that I will close out soon as they are too small and new copiers with small positions wonβt benefit from the small size.

Tuesday – Last Weeks Tesla Update
πΎπͺπ§π§ππ£π© π¬πππππ©ππ£π: 4.98%
πππ§πππ© π¬πππππ©ππ£π: 10% but would love to rotate crypto gains into this one.
ππͺπ£πππ’ππ£π©ππ‘π¨:
As a car company, price is elevated and over fair value. If we start to price in some of the future products though, things are still very attractive. It’s hard to build models when you don’t have much idea of prices etc. Really want to stress this is a more speculative position for me, and I’m betting Tesla will be very successful in at least 2 of its new sectors. Mainly I’m excited about energy storage, Semi’s, the compact car and FSD (Not including the Taxi)
Price action on this is front running the underlying fundamentals, so expect some volatility.

Not much use in a fear driven broad market sell off
ππ§ππ’π¨ ππ£π πΌπππ¨:
Plan on buying a lot of shares over the next 6 months

Wednesday – Two Week Old SOFI Update
πΎπͺπ§π§ππ£π© π¬πππππ©ππ£π: 6.24%.
πππ§πππ© π¬πππππ©ππ£π: 10% up to fair value, would love to rotate crypto gains into this one if it stays low.
ππͺπ£πππ’ππ£π©ππ‘π¨:
The good:
In my opinion Sofi is still very cheap over a multiyear timeframe but for now my fair value is $16 but Iβm willing to pay up to $21 into 2026. The company has been able to pivot and show impressive growth during a rough macro environment. They even managed to move to profitability and have not only re-iterated that they will stay in the green, but they also raised guidance at each subsequent quarterly meeting. I do expect this number to keep getting raised as the company continues to expand its product offering into a rate environment that should help it flourish.
The bad:
The Macro is driving this one. Donβt expect this to change any time soon. Especially now Cathie Wood has dumped the stock. Everyone moans about her sells/buys but still follows along.

πππππ£ππππ‘π¨:
Supports:
$10.83 at the FIB, $10.22 at prior resistance/support and $9.90 at the FIB and volume shelf.
Resistance:
$11.55 at prior resistance, $12.04 at FIB level and $13:06 at prior support.
Highlights:
Technical analysis isnβt much helpful in a market as fearful as this one. So donβt be shocked if a lot of the levels we talk about get smoked. This is totally normal when sentiment is chopping things up.
Concerns:
The bearish head and shoulders pattern we talked about is in play, with a target of $10. I credit this pattern for the strike volume we are seeing in the open options interest for this week at $10. Would love for it to get that low, would deploy the rest of my cash if it did.
ππ§ππ’π¨ ππ£π πΌπππ¨:
Iβll be adding to this after my 1st of month deposit aggressively. Would love for price to break lower.

Thursday – Last Weeks PayPal Update
πΎπͺπ§π§ππ£π© π¬πππππ©ππ£π: 6.49% – My weighting is much smaller because I added 185% more cash to my account.
πππ§πππ© π¬πππππ©ππ£π: Max 15% up to $124.
ππͺπ£πππ’ππ£π©ππ‘π¨:
The good: I still think PayPal is cheap based on todayβs underlying fundamentals and even cheaper if we add in Fastlane and the ADβs business. The CEO has been a huge driving force in pushing this company forward and bringing skills he honed over at Intuit. Products have filtered down the chain at impressive speed and partnerships have been coming thick and fast. Right out of the gate he was able to stabilise the company and is now moving forward with plans that will be very beneficial to margins and the bottom line. The share buy backs have been an excellent use of their monster cash flow and Iβm very excited to see what else he has up his sleeve.
The bad: The company has a very bloated workforce, and trimming would be nice to see in the future. The new honey news is a concern but overall doesnβt affect the financials much, the direct impact will be to the brand.

πππππ£ππππ‘π¨:
Resistance: $71.46 at the volume shelf, $75.35 at previous resistance/support and $79 at previous resistance/support and volume shelf.
Support: $67 at the bottom of the gap, $64 is where the strong support kicks in at the volume shelf and $60 for the volume shelf below that.
ππ§ππ’π¨ ππ£π πΌπππ¨:
I wonβt be trimming much of this until we get to my fair value at $124. Volatility is low on this asset so not worth trimming and adding much.
I also usually trim any large upside moves that are out of character and book some gains to add back later if we get a substantial drop. If that doesnβt happen, Iβm happy to hold my running position. Never be upset taking profits.
