Monday 3/24
Good morning. Markets are gapping up on the PPI print — core came in at +0.2% vs +0.3% expected. Yields are pulling back.
How does that change the rate outlook? I'm still heavy in duration-sensitive names.
The 2-year yield dropped 8bps pre-market. That's a tailwind for $TLT and your $SCHD position. The market is now pricing ~68% odds of a June cut, up from 54% last week.
Ok. What about the tech book? I added to $NVDA last week and $AMZN is reporting Thursday.

Here's where your top tech positions stand heading into this week:

  • NVDA Up 4.2% since your add. Data center backlog commentary at GTC was strong. Hold.
  • AMZN Earnings Thursday after close. Street expects $1.14 EPS on $155B rev. AWS re-acceleration is the key metric.
  • AAPL Underperforming the Mag 7 YTD. China weakness persists but services revenue is a bright spot.
  • MSFT Copilot monetization still early. Azure growth expected 28% next quarter.

Should I trim NVDA into strength or let it run? It's now 14% of the portfolio.
At 14% concentration I'd scale out a third here. The risk/reward is skewed after a 40% move in 6 weeks. Lock in some gains and redeploy into laggards.

Makes sense. Place a limit sell for 200 shares at $925 and trail a stop on the rest at $880.
Got it. I'll set a limit sell for 200 NVDA at $925 GTC and a trailing stop on the remaining 350 shares at $880.

Pre-market is flat after yesterday's sell-off. The $SPX is sitting right on the 20-day MA at 5,180. PCE data drops at 8:30 — if core comes in below 2.7% we likely bounce.

PCE just printed: headline 2.5%, core 2.6% — both in-line. Futures spiking. $ES_F up 22 handles. Your $TLT position is up 0.8% pre-market. $NVDA limit didn't fill yesterday — stock opened at $918.
Good — keep the limit at $925. What's the plan for AMZN into earnings tonight?

For the AMZN earnings play, I'd suggest the following:

  • Hold the core position 400 shares at $176 avg cost. The risk/reward into the print is favorable given the pullback.
  • Sell 2x April $195 calls against the position at ~$3.20 to collect $640 in premium as a hedge.
  • Set a hard stop at $168 in case of a miss, that's the 50-day MA and prior breakout level.
