Jorden Boer @JORDENBOER: "PORTFOLIO UPDATE ✅ eToro Elite..."

Netherlands

PORTFOLIO UPDATE ✅ eToro Elite Popular Investor ✅ Shutdown ending ✅ November volatility November has started with a small gain so far but we are still down more than 9% overall this year. Not what we had expected at the beginning of 2025! With president Trump signing legislation to end the longest government shutdown in US history, the 43-day stand-off halted food aid to millions of households, cancelled thousands of flights and forced federal workers to go unpaid for more than a month. Analysts estimate that every week the shutdown dragged on cost the economy anywhere from $10 billion to $15 billion. That's around $90 billion in six weeks. This has not only caused volatility in the US markets due to future uncertainty but many important data were not presented and will come all at once. This is sure to cause even more movement in the markets the coming weeks and should be good for our portfolio. Some investors have been asking what happens to their current positions when they add funds to this portfolio but eToro will simply open new positions in the same ratio as their current investment. This is slightly different to when PI's add cash to their own portfolio to open more positions as investors would have the option (not obligation) to also add funds to remain in synq. This is always something we look at when deciding to invest more of our own money into the portfolio when we are already fully invested and require more spare cash when new opportunities arise. Some copiers complain when you take out spare cash because apparently you are not convinced of your own strategy and others complain when you add cash due to the above reason. In the last couple of weeks we have sold numerous $BFAM (Bright Horizons Family Solutions) and $FVRR (Fiverr International ) short positions with nice profits but have also been stopped out of several small $ROKU (Roku Inc) and $FSLR (First Solar, Inc.) positions. As the prices of $TSLA (Tesla Motors, Inc.) and $PLTR (Palantir Technologies Inc.) are currently overpriced we will probably be adding some more short positions with new cash this month. We will remain 100% invested in short positions until the next market correction. Watch out the coming weeks as things could get very choppy as US data hits the markets. Once again, thank you new copiers and followers! Be patient and let's see what the coming years will bring us.
