Dear Investors, With another month gone, all eyes are on Jerome Powell's next move to see how the remaining three months of the year might pan out. With a 25 basis point cut almost certain, investors are now eyeing a half-point cut, which would push the markets higher. The issue here is that if the markets continue to creep up for the next week or so as investors bet on a 50bp cut. A 25bp cut would certainly cause a pullback, so this is something I will be keeping an eye on this week as I look to deploy the remaining cash. For now, here is the portfolio update for last month. ๐Ÿ“… ๐™ˆ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™๐™ก๐™ฎ ๐™ช๐™ฅ๐™™๐™–๐™ฉ๐™š: ๐˜ผ๐™ช๐™œ๐™ช๐™จ๐™ฉ ๐˜พ๐™ช๐™ง๐™ง๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ฉ๐™จ: ๐Ÿ“ˆ August Return: 4.27% ๐Ÿ“ˆ Year-to-Date (YTD) Return: 14.20% ๐Ÿ“Š Copiers' Profitability: 99.66% ๐Ÿ“ˆ 2 Year Return: 181.44% (Correct at time of writing) ๐™‹๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™›๐™ค๐™ก๐™ž๐™ค ๐™ช๐™ฅ๐™™๐™–๐™ฉ๐™š: Nice steady gains this month with the portfolio gaining 4.27% ahead of the $SPX500 1.91%, and that's with holding around 10% cash and bonds in the portfolio. The returns were largely down to $ASML.NV (ASML Holding NV), AXP, and LEN, with Lennar leading the way in gains amid the high probability of the Fed cutting rates. As for changes to the portfolio, nothing major. A few increases in existing positions and a decrease in Micron technology โ€“ it's been a pretty quiet month. I've also been researching a couple of investment ideas that I will share once I have completed the write-up. ๐™‰๐™š๐™ฌ ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™จ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™จ: $ETOR (eToro Group LTD) ๐™„๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™ง๐™š๐™–๐™จ๐™š๐™™ ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™จ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™จ: $AMZN (Amazon.com Inc) (Amazon.com Inc) (Amazon.com Inc) ASML BTRW LEN XLV ๐˜ฟ๐™š๐™˜๐™ง๐™š๐™–๐™จ๐™š๐™™ ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™จ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™จ: MU Feel free to ask any questions you may have, and I will reply as soon as I can.
