Dear Investors,
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
As another year comes to an end, I want to thank everyone who stuck with me for another year and, of course, those who have just started to copy the portfolio.
I will be doing a yearly summary of the year's ups and downs, positives/negatives and forward-looking post in the next week or so; this post is your usual monthly update.
If there is anything you would like me to cover in the annual review, please leave your questions below.

Last month, the portfolio achieved a gain of 2.61%, outperforming the $VOO (Vanguard S&P 500 ETF), which posted a 0.13% return. Salzgitter carried the portfolio in November with a fantastic 27% gain, UBS doubled their price target, steel prices were expected to rise, along with multiple analyst upgrades from hold to buy. There's nothing really to shout about elsewhere, with the rest being flat or slightly down.
Notable adjustments to the portfolio last month were the continued closure of Canadian Pacific and exiting MU, which, of course, has continued to rally, but we made a nice profit on the stock of around 140%, so no complaining there. Money moved to the structurally resilient and highly diversified $MA (Mastercard), and lastly, a 5.5% position in short-term bonds; this is mainly because copiers do not earn interest on cash within the copy, so I will hold cash here until I allocate the funds.
The most significant economic news of the month was the end of the US government shutdown, which removed one source of macroeconomic uncertainty, causing the S&P500 to drop by around 4.5% before going on to set a new all-time high. So, apart from any unforeseen events, it looks like we will be ending the year at all-time highs.

Thanks, and a happy new year. Just one questions, why increase ETRO and holding CROX?
CROX is profitable now but doesnโt show a good year if you look at the numbers.
Thanks and letโs have a great year. ... Show More
Hi Courtney, what do you think this latest round of tariffs will do to the markets, another bout of turbulence over the coming months?... Show More
