My Banking & Finance studies have officially kicked off the fifth semester, which means itโ€™s back to writing essays instead of blog posts ๐Ÿ“šโœ๏ธ. But donโ€™t worry โ€“ even though Iโ€™m juggling lectures, assignments, and way too much coffee, Iโ€™m still watching the markets closely. Whether Iโ€™m at home, at work, or secretly during class (yes, sometimes the chart is open on my laptop while the professor is talking โ€“ but letโ€™s keep that between us ๐Ÿคซ), your portfolio remains in good hands. To be honest, there isnโ€™t a ton of new stuff to report โ€“ which is actually a good thing. Our portfolio is still holding at all-time highs, delivering a solid +28.8% year-to-date return ๐Ÿฅณ. Meanwhile, our community is growing like crazy! Weโ€™ve now reached 565 copiers, and Iโ€™m managing close to $600,000 in total assets. Thatโ€™s just insane โ€“ and I canโ€™t thank you all enough for your trust and support ๐Ÿ™. Because of you, Iโ€™ve climbed to #4 among the most copied investors in Switzerland and even made it into the Top 200 worldwide. This achievement motivates me every single day to keep pushing forward. Another milestone is just around the corner: I should be upgraded to Elite Popular Investor next month. Starting in early October, youโ€™ll see a shiny green star next to my name ๐ŸŒŸ โ€“ a sign that our community is growing stronger and more influential. To protect us from potential market swings, Iโ€™ve recently placed some hedging positions on $HKG50 and $SPXL (Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bull 3X) ( 3x leveraged $SPX500 ) which are not yet executed. These cover roughly 50% of our China stocks (which make up about 20% of the portfolio) as well as of our U.S. positions. The idea here is simple: If the markets keep going up after execution, weโ€™ll still profit, just a bit less than we would without hedging ๐Ÿ“ˆ. But if markets take a downturn, our losses will be cut in half, and we can use the gains from the hedge to buy back in at cheaper levels. Itโ€™s all about staying flexible and sleeping well at night ๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ’ฐ. Of course, not every trade works out perfectly. My short positions on $PLTR (Palantir Technologies Inc.) and $TSLA (Tesla Motors, Inc.) were stopped out recently with small losses โŒ. On the other hand, our $SPOT (Spotify Technologies SA) short is up +33.34% and $TTWO (Take Two Interactive Software Inc) is up +3.63%, so those are playing out exactly as planned โœ…. If a broader market sell-off occurs, Iโ€™m confident these positions will also drop significantly โ€“ which would benefit us nicely. Other than that, itโ€™s business as usual: $GOLD keeps shining bright โœจ while our cryptosโ€ฆ well, they got beat up again today ๐ŸฅŠ๐Ÿ˜…. But hey, thatโ€™s part of the game, and overall, Iโ€™m very satisfied with our current performance. For all my new copiers, please take a moment to read these two posts โ€“ theyโ€™ll give you a deeper understanding of my investment strategy and answer many common questions: ๐Ÿ”— etoro.tw/41pjkfF ๐Ÿ”— etoro.tw/3F2Whzi Lastly, a quick piece of advice: Weโ€™re currently in a market environment where corrections could happen at any moment. If things head south, donโ€™t panic-sell like the crowd ๐Ÿ˜ฑ. Pullbacks are some of the best opportunities to add to positions and increase your investment ๐Ÿ’ธ. So please, donโ€™t stop copying or hit the eject button just because the market gets a little rough โ€“ that would be a real shame and usually the wrong move ๐Ÿ™ƒ. Thank you all for your trust and support. Together, weโ€™ll continue to grow โ€“ no matter if the markets go up or down ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ“ˆ. Best regards and have a great evening, Luca โœŒ๏ธ Source of image: ChatGPT
