Subject: Market Summary
Dear investors,
An additional market update due to the volatility we’ve seen this week.
At the start of the week, headlines around Trump’s European tariffs and potential retaliation sent markets lower. Since then, Trump has confirmed he will not use military force and, overnight, confirmed he will not use sanctions either. Markets recovered, but only partially, and remain below recent highs.
We’ve used this volatility to deploy into European defence stocks, as investors rotate out following the ‘peace’ narrative, as well as deploying some cash more broadly across the portfolio.
We are still awaiting official confirmation that Europe will not escalate further, as well as clarity on what was actually ‘resolved’ in Trump’s talks. Overall, this is positive, but I expect further headlines over Friday and the weekend. My initial view was that this situation was being used to pressure Europe into increasing NATO spending, hence the rotation into defence.
Thanks,
TJ... Show More
In my personal opinion, $RHM.DE (Rheinmetall AG) is massively overvalued. That said, I wouldn’t go short either - but I also wouldn’t go long. Both sides feel too risky to me.... Show More
Hi @thomaspj I started copying you on Dec 31st last year. Why do your stats for January show you down -0.59%, while mine show -1.11%? I don't expect a 100% match since I started copying midday on the 31st. Still, my results are twice as bad, which seems a bit strange. Has anyone had a similar experience,... Show More
Hello @thomaspj , I came across you recently. Your performance is very impressive. As a New Zealander, I am sadly not able to copy you in Etoro. Are you perhaps aware of another platform through which I am able to copy you? If not, I notice the "portfolio" tab on Etoro shows the currently holdings,... Show More
Just wondering if anyone is able to advise me as to why my portfolio which is solely my copy of TPJ is showing that I’m over 8% up and shows the actual profit but my account balance which should be net invested plus profit is actually showing my net investment and the profit on top is 25% less than the...

Hello. I am a big fan and have been following you for some time. I am enthusiastic about your approach, your intelligence and your articles. I wanted to ask if you could, without obligation, give me some advice on which software you use for your analyses, so I can have a reference point. I would be very... Show More

volatility is not the problem here... I am copying another PI whose strategy is value/quality with a 10+ years track record. I decided to copy you as a complementary style, more dynamic and trader-like... you have half the history but seemed promising, especially after returning positive return in 2022...

Congrats on the 2025 trophy, @thomaspj, but what’s the plan for the recent underperformance? The last 6 months have been tough—trailing the $SPX500 while volatility in our tech core (like $SNOW (Snowflake Inc.)) stays high. The pivot to Banking and $AAPL (Apple) feels like a "safe" move, but... Show More
