Anders Isbrand @Compound72: "📊 MARCH 2026 UPDATE —..."

Denmark

📊 MARCH 2026 UPDATE — INCLUDING FULL TRACK RECORD 2026 has been a difficult year so far. Markets are nervous — trade tensions, the Middle East conflict, uncertainty everywhere. My portfolio is down about 8.7% year to date. I want to be upfront about that. But here is the bigger picture. ― This chart shows every single month since I started here in February 2022. The orange line is my portfolio. The blue line is the S&P 500 — the index that tracks the 500 largest American companies, and the benchmark most professional funds are measured against. Both start from the same amount of money. No tricks. Despite a brutal first year in 2022, and despite everything happening right now — the orange line is still ahead. That gap was not luck. It was built month by month, through rate shocks, corrections, and uncertainty. Exactly like what we are seeing now. ― 2022: −31% → 2023: +37% → 2024: +24% → 2025: +53% That gap was earned through four years of staying the course. ― March closed today up 1.3%. A reminder that markets can turn fast — and that being out of the market on days like this is how long-term returns get left on the table. ― Recently I added oil and gas companies to the portfolio. Not out of panic — but because I think the portfolio should be ready for whatever comes next. I see three realistic scenarios right now: - If the conflict eases and markets recover — $GOOG (Alphabet) , $AMZN (Amazon.com Inc) and $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) lead the way up. - If volatility gets worse — $FLOW.NV (Flow Traders Cooperatief UA) actually earns more when markets get choppy. - If the conflict drags on — the oil and gas positions benefit from sustained high energy prices. I don't know which of those plays out. But I don't need to. ― The long-term goal is unchanged: grow this portfolio to 1,000,000 USD by 2045 by investing steadily and letting time do the work. We are still up. That is the bigger picture. @Compound72 ― Past performance is not indicative of future results.
