I have added 4% funds, as I had informed yesterday in my post. We had bought the dips in the last week with 15% of new cash that I added on 1st April. This has allowed us to narrowly lead the $SPX500 and $NSDQ100 indexes for the first time this year. You can check the statistics in the Google Sheet linked below. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15Au_bBXi2R_XGMazJ7RE0bGnUUhGQorQA6oMlm1iyX0/edit?usp=sharing No one can predict how the market will move today. The premarket trading makes it looks like we may give up some of the gains from yesterday, but trends from premarket often do not hold up when the markets open. There is still a lot of uncertainty and risks in the market. Tariffs of 10% are still a huge problem for everyone and this is only a temporary pause. Moreover, the most prominent trade partner China still faces prohibitively high tariff rates and it doesn't look like China is eager to negotiate. However, Trump's bluff has been called and he has shown signs of weakness. Hopefully China plays this well, and doesn't try to drag Trump into a corner even though he deserves it. If a deal gets struck with China, we may see the market boom again as if nothing has happened. I feel like we will get another chance to buy the dips. I will keep a close eye on this. I will remind you that there is no way to predict the market. If you are waiting to enter, this is still the right time to start copying me. Start small and add funds regularly. If you have $10k, start with only $4k today and keep the rest of the cash handy to add to the copy when the markets go down.

𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝟒% 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐨 I added around 15% funds on 1st April. Most of it has been deployed in the last week to buy dips mainly on $ARM (ARM Holdings PLC) $BRK.B (Berkshire Hathaway Inc) $TSM (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd - ADR) $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) and others. I will add another 4% funds tomorrow to maintain liquidity in case the markets continue to dip. I have explained my position in recent posts. TLDR, I cannot tell when the current market conditions will improve, but I do expect a very fast recovery as soon as some trade deals are made. For this reason, I will continue buying the dips. I have always added funds at the beginning of the month to avoid affecting the statistics. Adding funds at the end of red months can reduce the amount of loss reflected for the month. This effect is more prominent if you add a large percentage of money, and 4% should not make a big impact on the stats. Moreover I publish the exact amounts and dates of deposits on my Google Sheet attached here. I also track the actual Profit/Loss of the portfolio on this sheet and compare it with $NSDQ100 (NASDAQ100 Index (Non Expiry)) and $SPX500 (SPX500 Index (Non Expiry)) for full transparency. Also I think it is better to add funds now, than later in the month. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15Au_bBXi2R_XGMazJ7RE0bGnUUhGQorQA6oMlm1iyX0/edit?usp=sharing I encourage copiers to regularly add funds too. In my bio, Unfortunately, it looks like eToro does not send notifications reliably to copiers when PIs add funds. Also, it's not entirely clear how automatic portfolio synchronization works on eToro. It would be best if you can match funds, but as I have explained before the impact of spreads on your portfolio is minimal and inconsequential to the performance of your portfolio, especially when you are investing for the long term. So you can add funds whenever you like. In case you are unable to add funds, your portfolio will automatically synchronize with mine. In this case it would mean that about 4% of your positions may be closed. If the market moves up 10% immediately after this, you may lose upto 0.4% on the upside potential. If the market goes down instead, and I buy the dips then you will also benefit from this. I am mindful of this risk-reward tradeoff. Please feel free to share your opinions on this matter with me in comments.
