🛡️ 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦&𝗣 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 ~𝟴% 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿. 𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 -𝟭%. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁. That may not sound exciting — but that’s exactly the point. We’ve stayed calm, deployed smartly, and avoided large drawdowns. The system is working as designed: ✅ Lose less when the market drops ✅ Stay positioned for upside ✅ Don’t chase hype _________________________________________ 🧠 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘂𝗽𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 — 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁, 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝘂𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘀 That’s when performance matters most. That’s why asymmetric returns — protecting downside while staying open to upside — have been the foundation of how I invest. It’s how I’ve managed money for the past 9 years — and how I’ll continue for the next 30. 📉 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽? Not much. Tariffs are still in place Retaliations have worsened trade tensions U.S. proposing new tariffs on EVs, solar panels, and semiconductors China launching a probe into U.S. agriculture imports Trade risk remains elevated So the fundamentals haven’t improved — yet the market is moving higher. That tells me things can turn quickly again. 💵 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 We’re now down to just 10% cash. This gives us room to act if new opportunities come up or if things go south again. I’m considering reducing some of the more speculative bets, but at this point, I have no strong view — and that's fine. It’s okay to be neutral when the path isn’t clear. ✅ 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 The lesson this week? Don’t chase FOMO. Don’t chase trends. Stay focused on value. We’re in a good place: ✔️ Holding cash for optionality ✔️ Sticking to process, not prediction ✔️ Avoiding the noise, focusing on fundamentals We’ll keep managing the portfolio through whatever comes next — with discipline. P.S Not entirely sure why its now sexy to post your account balance, i've been doing this for over many years (see YouTube Videos) . Thumbs up if you like this.
