Tuesday: Tesla

Wednesday: SOFI

Thursday: PayPal

Monday – Last weeks CleanSpark and Bitcoin Update

𝘾π™ͺπ™§π™§π™šπ™£π™© π™¬π™šπ™žπ™œπ™π™©π™žπ™£π™œ: 3.53% for CLSK – 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.

π™π™–π™§π™œπ™šπ™© π™¬π™šπ™žπ™œπ™π™©π™žπ™£π™œ: 15% or less but may spike as the asset price rises.

𝙁π™ͺπ™£π™™π™–π™’π™šπ™£π™©π™–π™‘π™¨:

The good: I’m not specifically trading this one based on its β€˜β€™fair’’ valuation like a lot of the stocks I’m holding. I’m using it as a leveraged BTC play. That said I do find CLSK the β€˜β€™best in class’’ miner and its stock price depends a lot on the price of BTC. That’s a roundabout way of saying, should BTC peak in my expected $204K to $280k range, I would expect the β€˜β€™fair’’ value of CLSK to be between $45 and $120. I’m 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.

π™π™šπ™˜π™π™£π™žπ™˜π™–π™‘π™¨:

Resistance: $96k at the volume shelf, $100k psychological level that’s 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.

π™π™§π™žπ™’π™¨ 𝙖𝙣𝙙 π˜Όπ™™π™™π™¨:

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 β€˜free’’, but even so I will likely take a big chunk of my position off the table as we approach the mid $40’s range (Around 75%), even though I think it will go higher. I talk about it all the time, I’m 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 doesn’t happen, I’m 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 won’t benefit from the small size.

Tuesday – Last Weeks Tesla Update

𝘾π™ͺπ™§π™§π™šπ™£π™© π™¬π™šπ™žπ™œπ™π™©π™žπ™£π™œ: 4.98%

π™π™–π™§π™œπ™šπ™© π™¬π™šπ™žπ™œπ™π™©π™žπ™£π™œ: 10% but would love to rotate crypto gains into this one.

𝙁π™ͺπ™£π™™π™–π™’π™šπ™£π™©π™–π™‘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.

Wednesday – Two Week Old SOFI Update

𝘾π™ͺπ™§π™§π™šπ™£π™© π™¬π™šπ™žπ™œπ™π™©π™žπ™£π™œ: 6.24%.

π™π™–π™§π™œπ™šπ™© π™¬π™šπ™žπ™œπ™π™©π™žπ™£π™œ: 10% up to fair value, would love to rotate crypto gains into this one if it stays low.

𝙁π™ͺπ™£π™™π™–π™’π™šπ™£π™©π™–π™‘π™¨:

The good:

In my opinion Sofi is still very cheap over a multiyear timeframe but for now my fair value is $16 but I’m 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. Don’t 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.

π™π™šπ™˜π™π™£π™žπ™˜π™–π™‘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 isn’t much helpful in a market as fearful as this one. So don’t 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.

π™π™§π™žπ™’π™¨ 𝙖𝙣𝙙 π˜Όπ™™π™™π™¨:

I’ll be adding to this after my 1st of month deposit aggressively. Would love for price to break lower.

Thursday – Last Weeks PayPal Update

𝘾π™ͺπ™§π™§π™šπ™£π™© π™¬π™šπ™žπ™œπ™π™©π™žπ™£π™œ: 6.49% – My weighting is much smaller because I added 185% more cash to my account.

π™π™–π™§π™œπ™šπ™© π™¬π™šπ™žπ™œπ™π™©π™žπ™£π™œ: Max 15% up to $124.

𝙁π™ͺπ™£π™™π™–π™’π™šπ™£π™©π™–π™‘π™¨:

The good: I still think PayPal is cheap based on today’s underlying fundamentals and even cheaper if we add in Fastlane and the AD’s 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 I’m 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 doesn’t affect the financials much, the direct impact will be to the brand.

π™π™šπ™˜π™π™£π™žπ™˜π™–π™‘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.

π™π™§π™žπ™’π™¨ 𝙖𝙣𝙙 π˜Όπ™™π™™π™¨:

I won’t 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 doesn’t happen, I’m happy to hold my running position. Never be upset taking profits.
