Hello dear investors, in the feed I often come across recurring doubts about how to copy Popular Investors (PIs) and, at times, criticisms of the managers when things don’t turn out as expected. But, what if part of the key lies in our responsibility as copiers? Today I would like to share a practical guide so that you can make the most out of copying, with self-criticism and strategy. 💪 1️⃣ Let’s start from the beginning, who should you copy? 🔍 Not all PIs are for everyone. There are strategies for all tastes: ETFs, dividends, cryptos, value, growth, etc. But first, you have to ask yourself: what is my risk tolerance? Do I prefer stability or am I comfortable with volatility? Choosing a PI that doesn’t match your profile is like putting on shoes that aren’t your size: uncomfortable and probably painful. Take the time to investigate their track record and strategy. eToro’s transparency with our track record is your best ally. 2️⃣ How many PIs should I copy? Less is more (sometimes) ⚖️ There is no magic number, but beware of over-diversification: it can dilute your profitability. The key is to diversify intelligently. Analyze the main positions of the PIs you copy and try to ensure they are not too correlated. For example, combining a PI focused on technology stocks with another focused on ETFs from different sectors could balance your portfolio. Again, you as a copier should adapt this decision to your strategy and risk level. 3️⃣ Is it a good time to start copying? Spoiler: it always is. ⏰ To the typical question that arises in the feed: Is now a good time to copy? Short answer: the best time to invest was yesterday; the second-best time is today. No PI will tell you to wait, and they might be right: Trying to predict the market is a trap. What matters is not when you enter, but how you manage your copy from then on. 4️⃣ And how do I manage my copy once I’m in? Simple: Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA). 📊 Make regular contributions, regardless of whether the market is at highs or lows. Studies confirm it: staying invested in the long term outperforms trying to “catch the market’s valley”. More money has been lost waiting than what is actually lost due to market downturns. DCA reduces the risk of entering at a bad time and keeps you aligned with the PI’s strategy. 5️⃣ When to take profits? Patience is key. 🕰️ How long should you keep your copy? It depends on the PI’s style. If they are traders, you might seek short-term profits. But if the manager follows a long-term strategy (as is my case), time is your friend, and the longer, the better. The stock market, historically, rewards the patient. That’s why, unless you see a drastic change in the PI’s strategy, stay firm and let the market work its magic compounding capital over time. As you can see, not everything depends on the PIs. As copiers, we have to do our homework: investigate the manager’s track record, understand their strategy, and manage our cash flow wisely. Copying is not “set and forget.” Ask, analyze, and, if you have doubts, use the feed to clarify them. The community is also there to help you. I hope this guide provides some clarity to copy with more confidence. But the topic is open: what advice would you add? Do you have any copying experience you’d like to share?
