PORTFOLIO UPDATE ✅ eToro Elite Popular Investor ✅ Interest rate decrease ✅ Tariff volatility As markets have continued to move up in September the portfolio has dropped as we are currently still 100% short. Primarily $TSLA (Tesla Motors, Inc.), our biggest position, has moved up around 28% which has impacted the portfolio the most. What many people don't know is that investors have withdrawn massive capital out of U.S. equity funds this week to lock in profits as the $NSDQ100 hit new all time highs. More than $43 billion was withdrawn in the past week which has been the highest since December 2024. The market has continued higher but this is largely based on a lower volume. The Fed has been forced to decrease interest rates this week which actually shows that higher inflation and a worrying job market has already started to have a negative effect on the U.S. economy. The Fed is now trying to compensate but this usually results in a lower stock market and there were already discussions of stagflation (which is the slowing of the economy with high inflaton and a relatively weak job market). Tariff increases will also take some time to show up in the earnings of U.S. companies as they are lagging the decisions of President Trump and the U.S. government. We are now in a situation where share prices have risen faster than earnings leading to a higher P/E ratio whilst payout ratios have fallen. This will ultimately cause more pressure on stock prices. Apart from Tesla, most of the stocks in the portfolio have remained relatively flat which is a good sign that they will drop hardest as soon as markets come back down from these overinflated valuations. Once again, thank you new copiers and followers! Be patient and let's see what the coming years will bring us.
