The Sector Rotation Out of Select Mag7 Stocks Continues

 

Week ending November 7th, 2025  

Stocks closed about UNCH Friday, but the tape was anything from dull:      

1. Semis: Rug-Pulled at the open, breaking the 60-min. chart I flagged in pre-market [Linked]—washing out to the 20 day by 9:30 AM CST. 

Semiconductors pull back to the 20 day ma. This is suppose to scare me? $PSI $SOX $SOXL #Semis $VIX 20-ish (smells like the usual bear trap) 😅 pic.twitter.com/XsxTZwASRC

As they selectively sold big tech - more on that in a moment - investors piled into everything from the backstopped banking sector, to gold miners.   

 

$GDX Gold miners +2% rallied back to the 50 day SMA.  

 

 

 

 

2. Energy Quietly Stole the Show

 

• $XOM (+3%), 
• $CEG (+2%)
•  $IYE Energy - opening bid jacked above the 50 day SMA → algos triggered → the rest is history. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No mainstream coverage of the surge—despite being telegraphed weeks ago.

 

Spotted Nov 3rd fool.com: 

Is Constellation Energy Stock a Buy Right Now? 

 

I think they call that a leading question, but I'll leave that one for you to ponder. 

 

$CEG Constellation  typical Friday⸻bear market rally. You chase this one, I'll chase momentum stocks, and then we can compare notes.   

 

 

3. Rotations among the Mag7 was a sight to behold 

1. Tesla rug-pulled after 2 weeks of bearish consolidation.
   Chart has already been added to the public charts lineup.   
2. $MSFT landed precisely on target - updated Thursday
3. $NVDA closed in the green. 
4. $META continues to be punished.
5. $AAPL propped up like a puppet on a string. 
6. $NFLX continues to levitate 
7. Amazon "" 
8. Google ""  

Pro tip: Next time you want to pretend to be bearish, sell your favorites.

Energy Rotation + Semis at Support = Pinball Time!

If you were watching my Twitter/ X feed yesterday, and you sure as hell should be... then you already know where the sector is taking place - as expected - in Energy 

Energy stonks close up 1%. No wonder the $VIX isn't higher. It's a sector rotation. #NatGas closed +4%

Yeah we pinpointed that sector rotation, around mid October - after Gold cracked [link]   

Microsoft’s New Em Dash Shortcut Proves They Hate 99% of Their Users

As first spotted on TechRadar, Microsoft is finally adding a real em-dash shortcut to Windows 11 – just as AI made you want to stop using it

Image: TechRadar (screen capture)

•  Windows 11 has a new keyboard shortcut to access the ever-allusive em dash 
• To get this extra long dash you use to have to hold the the Alt key and press a number combination, as if you were keying in @ a high security bio facility, or use the emoji panel...
• Both were clunky methods, and the new shortcut is much better, although it's arguable whether you should use em dashes at all now, thanks to AI. ⸻I.e. the overuse of em dashes is a dead giveaway that AI may be actually writing your blog  articles because it had become kind an obscure symbol; until AI started spamming it all over the blogosphere. Right now, authors across the blogosphere others are scanning pages trying to remove any trace of the fact that AI did most the work lol⸻me I don't care. I need all the help I can get when it comes to editing and composition—not to mention grammar.  
• Thumb through my most recent blogs and I'm sure you'll find em dashes scattered throughout... 
•  The new keyboard shortcut for an em dash is to press the Windows key with the Shift key and the minus key all together (Windows + Shift + -). The same shortcut but without the Shift key (Windows + -) will get you an 'en' dash, which looks like this – as opposed to the em dash which is this — a fair bit longer, as you can see. 
• Note: If you're still not getting the new keyboard short-cut it could be for several different reasons.
  a. You need a laptop with a number-pad for this neat trick to work →Alt + hyphen does zilch. 
  b. You're one of the1.3B desktop users in the world. Tough luck! Microsoft's fix does zilch. 
  c. If you fit into the b. or c. category: On a Mac, press Option + Shift + hyphen (-); on Windows, if you have a numeric keypad, hold down the Alt key and type 0151!   😅      
• FunFact: typically, there should not be a space before an em dash; it is usually set closed to the words around it. However, some style guides, like those for newspapers, may recommend using spaces on either side (DuckDuckGo AI search assist).
  
            

I call it "Evil" but whatever you call it, "it" moves markets

 

 

$GOOG Advertiser, dressed as a surveillance state trojan horse wearing a Gemini halo

$GOOG or $GOOGL (preferred shares)- I usually chart the common shares, don't ask me why. 

Looking at the chart it's easy to see why I haven't been bullish on this name since it overshot the top of the channel, back in Sept. I don't normally talk about market cap, but lately there seems to be a competition going on to see who can be the most overvalued? This one topped out around 3T during the Sept ramp.

Note: This $GOOG chart replaces the chart I uploaded to the public hub, earlier in the week

 

 

 

 Yesterday, I pointed out: This isn’t a crash. It’s a slingshot [link].

Yesterdays rally confirmed it, but I think a better description of the action we're seeing is pinball, as many high-flying semiconductor stocks collided with a bumper. Yesterday's slingshot snap-back was a flipper launch to remember, bouncing off the rails, lights flashing, close to tilting? 

 

Judging by the still elevated $VIX I'm not the only one who's adding to put positions.

CFO Sarah Friar hinted at a role for the US government to “backstop the guarantee that allows the financing to happen,” but did not elaborate on how this would work

(Translation: “Please bail us out when the music stops.”)

 

  

 

  

 Of course, semiconductors led the pinball action 

 

Japan ($NIKK still on death watch) snapped back and that also helped drive markets...

The Broader "Bull Market" Fake as hell

Momentum lost 

• Leadership chaotic - pinball like

• Birds still chirping 

• Futures UNCH     

• $VIX remains sticky like inflation during the Fed's transitory years    

 

Fed's Powell says could raise rates beyond December, gives nod to disinflation reuters

Retail's in denial, chasing dips like it's 1999. But Powell just dropped this bomb this morning: Rates could hike beyond December if disinflation stalls—nod to progress, sure, but that "could" is code for "buckle up", buttercup. Kool-aid hangover hitting hard.

The Magnificent 7+ AI Heavyweights: A Field Guide

Sunny Day in Central Park - Clown Thunder Edition

Ahhh… the birds are chirping, the leaves are golden, and the $VIX just rolled over like a sleepy golden retriever. Yesterday’s “global meltdown” was clown thunder. Loud, flashy, gone by lunch. Talking heads screamed “valuation concerns” like it’s 1999. When has the market ever sold off on that boogeyman alone? Exactly. Never. We trust the $VIX, not the CNBC flavor of the day.

$NVDA: The Only AI Leader That Matters — And How Many Missed It?

If you snoozed on that +3% **snap-back** rally in NVIDIA, tough luck. As I warned yesterday: “snoozers lose”

No waiting. No “in hindsight.” No excuses. Target confirmed in real time. 🎆 Fireworks launched on X. Payday — less than 24 hours later.
I even had time for a nap. 
Mic drop.

15-min chart: textbook execution/ pivot

Completing the Mag7 Lineup with Microsoft  

$MSFT Same setup as $NVDA chart -  an expanding ascending triangle (not a "wedge", you clowns). 

Wait just a damn New York minute...  

•  Netflix $NFLX — wait, who dropped this from the lineup?
  Still getting pumped like it’s 2021.
  Mag7 + 1 = Mag8 in my book. Math is hard! 

•  And how could I forget about Tesla $TSLA - The Mag7 wildcard Wall Street loves to hate — piloted by the human meme generator, Elon. 
  Tesla: A rocket cult with wheels. Love it. Hate it. Doesn’t matter — it moves the tape  

•  Netflix $NFLX — wait, who dropped this from the lineup?
  Still getting pumped like it’s 2021.
  Mag7 + 1 = Mag8 in my book. Math is hard! 

• FAANG + 2 gets you to 7, toss in Netflix, and Oracle? Boom-we're already past 9

• More charts on tap for the Public Charts area

   

Sidenote: Why “Mag7”?

Because Jim Cramer thinks his fans can’t handle more than a “basket” o names.

I call it laziness dressed as strategy.

FAANG died when Facebook became Meta and Googlewent Alphabet.

Call it Mag12 or admit it’s just brand theater. Pick one.
