𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝟒% 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐨 I added around 15% funds on 1st April. Most of it has been deployed in the last week to buy dips mainly on $ARM (ARM Holdings PLC) $BRK.B (Berkshire Hathaway Inc) $TSM (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd - ADR) $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) and others. I will add another 4% funds tomorrow to maintain liquidity in case the markets continue to dip. I have explained my position in recent posts. TLDR, I cannot tell when the current market conditions will improve, but I do expect a very fast recovery as soon as some trade deals are made. For this reason, I will continue buying the dips. I have always added funds at the beginning of the month to avoid affecting the statistics. Adding funds at the end of red months can reduce the amount of loss reflected for the month. This effect is more prominent if you add a large percentage of money, and 4% should not make a big impact on the stats. Moreover I publish the exact amounts and dates of deposits on my Google Sheet attached here. I also track the actual Profit/Loss of the portfolio on this sheet and compare it with $NSDQ100 (NASDAQ100 Index (Non Expiry)) and $SPX500 (SPX500 Index (Non Expiry)) for full transparency. Also I think it is better to add funds now, than later in the month. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15Au_bBXi2R_XGMazJ7RE0bGnUUhGQorQA6oMlm1iyX0/edit?usp=sharing I encourage copiers to regularly add funds too. In my bio, Unfortunately, it looks like eToro does not send notifications reliably to copiers when PIs add funds. Also, it's not entirely clear how automatic portfolio synchronization works on eToro. It would be best if you can match funds, but as I have explained before the impact of spreads on your portfolio is minimal and inconsequential to the performance of your portfolio, especially when you are investing for the long term. So you can add funds whenever you like. In case you are unable to add funds, your portfolio will automatically synchronize with mine. In this case it would mean that about 4% of your positions may be closed. If the market moves up 10% immediately after this, you may lose upto 0.4% on the upside potential. If the market goes down instead, and I buy the dips then you will also benefit from this. I am mindful of this risk-reward tradeoff. Please feel free to share your opinions on this matter with me in comments.
