Opinions relating to short-term trades
Shawn’s Trade Idea: Buy Pilbara Minerals (PLS) at $1.20
The lithium miners have endured an awful few years with local heavyweight Pilbara (PLS) down 37% so far in 2025. The stock/sector is slowly gaining some strength, and we like PLS into fresh recent lows. This may look unlikely, being over 10% lower, but this is a volatile stock in a clear downtrend so investors/traders should never say never, i.e. “Plan your trade, and trade your plan.” Read moreTrade Idea: Buy VanEck Bitcoin ETF (VBTC) at $31
Bitcoin has been at the forefront of the strong recovery across risk assets in the last month, and with the “Trump Family”, as they say in poker, all-in on the crypto space, I believe for traders, buying the dip will pay dividends into Christmas. Read moreShawn’s Trading Ideas – Position updates

The New York Times reported on Friday that U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is considering several executive orders to expedite the construction of nuclear power plants. By definition, higher demand will create a tailwind for uranium prices and stocks. We believe Trump will pull this lever as he looks to reduce energy prices, one of his big promises on the campaign trail - remember “Drill baby drill”.

As discussed previously, MM believes oil will be supported around $US60, but a washout on the downside in the commodity and related names wouldn’t surprise. Read moreShawn’s Trading Ideas: Buy gold into further weakness
As discussed previously, MM likes gold into weakness, believing the risk/reward will be attractive ~$US3,100 I believe that gold will trade higher through 2025 in line with a re-rating of the $US. Read moreShawn’s Trading Ideas – Bullish US Tech.
As discussed above, MM likes the US tech into the current sharp sell-off, believing the risk/reward has swung in the bulls' favour. I am now looking for at least a 10% bounce after the recent 25% correction. Read moreActions relating to short-term trades
