Hey Traders! I once went 7 years without having a green September and it is a historically tricky month for the markets. However, we kept our head above the water despite broader markets struggling (the $DJ30 was down more than 4%) and posted a gain of +1.07%. This brings the YTD performance of the... Show More

Hey Traders! After a relatively muted June and July, the portfolio popped back into life in August, finishing the month at +5.60%. That brings the year-to-date performance to +12.70%. The portfolio therefore comfortably outpaced $SPX500 and the $NSDQ100 which is relatively remarkable given the defensive... Show More

Hey Traders! July ended up being a slightly muted month for the portfolio, as a pull back late in the month reined in the earlier profits. We finished at -0.25%, which brings our YTD performance to +6.72%. I'm dividing this update into three parts: 1. What drove the markets in July?  2. Key risks... Show More

That brings the YTD total to 8.95%, which is a solid return, given the correction at the start of the year and the turmoil that has surrounded the conflict in the Middle... Show More

🎉** 𝟙𝟘 𝕐𝔼𝔸ℝ𝕊 𝕆ℕ 𝔼𝕋𝕆ℝ𝕆 **🎉 Let me tell you a story. On this day 10 years ago, Leicester City had just been crowned as champions of the Premier League and an equally improbable event was about to take place. A fresh-faced, eager eddyb123 opened an eToro account, deposited a modest sum and bought 2.4 $BTC (at $527/BTC). This was a good choice. Other Tech stocks ( $GOOG, $AMZN, $CRM, $NFLX) quickly joined the portfolio within a couple of days and by the end of the year the BTC position had grown. Other names, like a relatively unknown $NVDA, came a...

Hey Traders! March has been geopolitically dramatic which has sent some shockwaves across the markets, particularly in the energy sector (as can be seen with $OIL) . Amidst this turmoil, the portfolio remained relatively resilient and came in close to flat at -0.41%. This is, in part, due to the defensive... Show More

Hey Traders! February continued a trend which we have seen over the last few months, whereby software companies have struggled to stay competitive in the markets. Subsequently, the portfolio finished at -3.38% for February. This means that the YTD performance of the portfolio is -4.88%. Not an ideal... Show More

Hey Traders! January has been an interesting start to the year. It feels like there is fresh drama every day, which makes the investment environment more challenging. The portfolio finished the month at -1.58%, which reflects the balance between some stuttering tech equities and the boost from commodities... Show More
