WHAT ARE YOU GUYS WATCHING? SEMIS ARE the flavor right now!!

Hey guys, Im from Atlanta and moved here a few years ago after living in Chicago for years. I started trading during the pandemic in 2020 and mostly taught myself. Luckily thanks to that bull run I doubles my trading principal by the end of the year but 2021 and beyond wasnt so forgiving so looking to learn better trading strategies. I primarily swing trade and also do some very basic options trading. My goal is to supplement my current day job income and hooefully one day replace it and quit the ol 9-5. My time available to trade is primarily on my days off of work when I’m at work I only have a few minutes here and there to check the markets, hence why swing trading works the best for me. My biggest challenge is finding the proper entry and exit points and I also need to improve on risk management strategies.

The market gapped up 3.5% today on the Trump tariff reversal. If you chased the open, you got smoked. Tesla, Palantir, ASTS — all faded hard off the first candle. But it was still one of the best days we've had in a while. The setup was simple: wait for the first dip, then play it. Photonics was hot. Memory was hot. The old plays are waking up. My take — any weakness from here probably gets bought. We might not be breaking out of the range, but there's 40 points of upside to the top. That's plenty. Full watchlist and 10-minute video breakdown for tomorrow: https://thebullsheet00.substack.com/p/the-trump-taco-came-now-what
