Welcome Back,
Hi there
Good morning! In today’s issue, we’ll dig into the all of the latest moves and highlight what they mean for you right now. Along the way, you’ll find insights you can put to work immediately
Stock Market Debriefing
Equities bounced beautifully into the weekend:
Index Performance Across the Week
Dow: Rebounded strongly, finishing green
S&P 500: Consistent strength, +0.6–0.9% sessions building momentum
Nasdaq: Tech stabilized after mid-week dips
Russell 2000: One of the best performers — risk appetite returned
VIX: Collapsed nearly 10%, confirming fear washed out
Standout Movers We Tracked
Winners:
Robinhood (+10% day), Meta, Micron, Costco, Walmart
LULU +4–5% days
Broadcom +3%+
Tesla +1–2% steady grinds
Mixed:
Apple flat but steady
Alphabet & Meta fluctuated between small reds & greens
Laggers at times:
NVIDIA and Amazon saw several red sessions midweek
Some semis had sharp dips before Friday’s recovery
Weekly takeaway:
This was the first week in a while where growth, value, retail, tech, and small caps all moved together. Healthier market structure.
Crypto Debriefing
Crypto kicked off the week with red across the board — BTC, ETH, and alts all retraced sharply mid-week. But by the end:
Bitcoin reclaimed the $90K+ range with steady, low-volatility climbs.
Ethereum stabilized around $3K, recovering from earlier dips.
Major altcoins (BNB, SOL, XRP, DOGE, ADA) all ended the week with positive 7-day moves, showing buyers stepped right back in.
Sentiment shifted from fear → cautious optimism as volatility cooled and liquidity improved.
Weekly takeaway:
A week that looked bearish at first turned into quiet accumulation territory by the weekend.
Real Estate Debriefing
The real estate tape stayed relatively quiet this week, with no big national policy changes or rate shocks, giving investors room to think strategically instead of reactively.
Key themes from the week:
Seasonal cooling continued — late fall/winter historically brings lower listing volumes and slower transaction activity.
This quieter environment was favorable for deal-hunters: lower competition, more negotiable sellers.
We emphasized “prep work” all week:
Building neighborhood watchlists
Getting lending conversations started early
Stress-testing deals for rate and rent volatility
Weekly takeaway:
Calm markets = prep markets. Investors who spend winter underwriting smartly tend to win big in spring.
Resource Debriefing
Energy and metals markets gave us a balanced but interesting week:
Energy
WTI crude: Oscillated between $58–59, ending slightly higher.
Brent: Hovered $62–63 with small green days.
Gasoline & Natural Gas: Both saw mini surges late-week.
Heating Oil: Volatile, with both sharp red and green sessions.
Metals
Gold: Stayed near $4,150 with tiny daily moves — acting like a stable hedge.
Silver: Quiet but consistently positive.
Platinum: Strongest metal of the week (+1–3%).
Palladium: Bounced after earlier declines.
Weekly takeaway:
Energy showed support, and Platinum took the crown for strongest performer.
