April was wild 🤯 I didn't make any changes to our portfolio, and risk went up from 4 to 5 (and even got to touch 6 for a couple of days). Nothing changed; there was just a crazy amount of volatility in the markets. The first week, it seemed like everything was going to keep crashing, but suddenly, Trump lightened up the tensions, and we ended the month close to neutral. We keep beating the sp500 (by far) this year. $SPX500 (SPX500 Index (Non Expiry)) YTD: -5.30% Fran YTD: -1.42% But to be fair, a better benchmark for our portfolio would be a global ETF like VT or similar. $VT.US (Vanguard Total World Stock ETF) YTD: -0.74% Fran YTD: -1.42% I'm not planning on making any big changes this month. We keep investing long-term in great companies (or undervalued ones). Risk should go back down to 4, unless things get crazy again. We'll see how the month goes. Hopefully, we get back on the green track. The first few big earning calls were positive, like $MSFT (Microsoft) & $META (Meta Platforms Inc) and now $AAPL (Apple) & $AMZN (Amazon.com Inc), so I'm hopeful. Keep investing and stay the course 🤑
