$Tesla(TSLA.US$
$Vertiv Holdings(VRT.US$
after earnings, both increase 10+%
interestingly, TSLA has been downtrend and VRT has been ongoing uptrend.
So the question is: do you think it is easier to go up for uptrend stock, or downtrend stock?
What is your thought? is this buyable over the gap up?

The US CPI data for March was unexpectedly high, which lowered investors' expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in the short term. The March PCE price index, which is due to be released this Friday, is expected to remain high, which is expected to remain high, which reinforces the market's expectation that interest rate cuts will need to be patient. According to general market forecasts, the PCE index may rise slightly to 2.6% year on year in March due to rising energy costs.
In terms of economic growth, the market expects the annualized annualized value of the US GDP in the first quarter to increase by only 2% compared to the initial quarterly value, which is a sharp slowdown compared to 3.4% in the previous quarter. This shows that under the influence of continued high interest rates, the US economy is beginning to show signs of deceleration. Despite this, the US economy showed some resilience throughout the last year, mainly due to increased consumer spending and local government spending.
Judging from the policy outlook, Federal Reserve officials may need to re-evaluate strategies to combat inflation, because current data shows that progress in fighting inflation has stalled. This could mean that the Federal Reserve will need to keep interest rates high for longer than expected.
This week is also an important earnings week. Many corporate giants will announce their quarterly results, and the market will pay close attention to these reports to assess the health of the economy and all walks of life. These data and reports will have an important impact on market sentiment and policy expectations.

Top issue in Canadian cannabis
Canada’s cannabis excise-tax structure is regularly cited as the top issue facing licensed cannabis producers.
The excise tax is levied before cannabis products reach consumers, who also pay sales taxes upon purchase.
Cannabis flower and pre-rolls are taxed at either a flat rate of 1 Canadian dollar (CA$0.72) per gram or 10% of the gram’s wholesale price, whichever is greater.

It seems in 2024 that my portfolios are dominated by: semiconductors, bitcoin, communications/tech/data & cloud computing. (There is also ballast and a contingent of biopharma, space, and quantum.) The first cohort has outperformed so enormously, that it overwhelms all else. So, Pubmatic. This is a longterm hold in other portfolios, but here on MooSquared, I am mostly trading options, so take profit and exit positions more frequently to free up capital. I still like this company very muc...
