August Update Another solid month, with the portfolio up 3.68%, slightly ahead of the $SPX500 (+3.0%) and $NSDQ100. $BTC continues to be a major part of the portfolio, and despite the volatility, I’m increasingly comfortable with it as a long-term holding. It has also provided some useful diversification... Show More

July Update and Announcement 📣 The portfolio finished the month down roughly in line with the $NSDQ100 (-3.5%), while the $SPX500 was down only about 0.5%. Despite that, the portfolio is still up 28% year to date, so I’m happy to zoom out and focus on the bigger picture rather than a single month. With... Show More

Monthly update for Copiers 🚀 May was another good month, with the portfolio up just under 10%. That said, I’ve spent most of the month reducing position sizes and raising cash. I’m now sitting on more than 30% cash, which is unusually high for me. The reason is simple: the market is very hot right... Show More

April update 🚀 Massive month for the stock market and even better for the portfolio. The portfolio is up 21% in April, outperforming the $NSDQ100 (~18%) and $SPX500 (~12%). Positioning is doing what it’s supposed to. $BTC (11%) remains the largest holding, followed by BWLPG (7%) and $WDC (Western... Show More

Dear Copiers and Followers, Year to date the portfolio is up about 4%. Considering the backdrop, conflict involving Iran and generally shaky sentiment, I’m reasonably satisfied. The $SPX500 is roughly down 5% for the year and the $NSDQ100 about 7%, so relative performance has been good, even if markets... Show More

January 2026 Update 🚀 The portfolio is up 8% this month, handily beating the $NSDQ100 +1% and the $SPX500 +1.4%. This is largely due to the large position in $WDC (Western Digital Corporation) which soared by 45% this month. Most of the bigger holdings have had a very tough month. After careful... Show More

2025 Recap for Copiers 📈 The portfolio ends 2025 with a 24% gain, beating out the $SPX500 (up 17%) and $NSDQ100 (up 21%). My personal highlight was withdrawing about a third of my capital for a deposit on a property. It’s very satisfying when years of investment and trading pay off! 🏡 As a portfolio... Show More
