Many investors on eToro lost money on cryptos and American tech stocks. Even though my portfolio also took a hit, the other areas of the portfolio still doing quite well, or at least, not as bad. In February, my positions in precious metals, defensive ETFs, manufacturing stocks and Chinese market have outperformed the overall U.S stock market. Despite having a rather sizable chunk of portfolio in $BTC and other crypto plays, my portfolio only down ~7% in February, and still in the green region since the year begin. And more importantly, my emotion has been thus far very stable and my sanity is still intact, despite having some bad trades myself. I still can enjoy life without worrying too much about whether my portfolio is gonna tank tomorrow because of Trump's tariff policy. Seeing this play out makes me believe even more in proper diversification and the portfolio management philosophy of Ray Dalio, the brilliant hedge fund manager of Bridge Water. And which actions have I taken during this blood bath. Firstly, I reassessed the risk of each position. I sold all of my SOL holding and the tiny position in FET few days ago as my view for them changed and I see further downside. Then I took partial profit from my positions in $GLD (SPDR Gold) , $BABA (Alibaba-ADR), $1810.HK (Xiaomi Corp) , $SSABAH.HE (SSAB AB ser. A), since these positions are making me very good money. The proceeds from these sales are enough for me to redeploy on the positions that I have high conviction but are dropping like ETH, COIN, TSLA , GOOG, LINK , AMD. Many say that it is risky to catch a falling knife on these highly volatile assets. But what I see in these coins and stocks is that their fundamentals did not change and now I can buy them for up to 50% discount from the peak. Their price drops because investors are fearful and the market is full of uncertainty from Trump, FED, meme coin rug pulls, exchange hack and so on. Of course there will always be uncertainty in the market, sometimes you just have to deal with more of it. I think to overcome the uncertain periods, we need to have some core principles and only act on what we are certain about. Some of the things we always know for certain are: βœ… Stock market, precious metals and real estate always appreciate in the long term as fiat currencies get inflated. βœ… Investors sell when they are pessimistic and buy when they are optimistic. βœ… Price does not always reflect the fundamentals of an asset because the market is not always efficient. βœ… Using leverage is dangerous, many lost all their investment because of it. βœ… Timing the market is not for everyone, but Dollar Cost Averaging is applicable for anyone. I believe, if we can stick to our well-thought principles and be patient with our strategy, time would eventually award us. And that is what I have to share for my portfolio update and the current market situation. Let's us be strong as investors together to get over this turbulent phase. ---Thank you for reading---
