Up until now, nearly everything had been moving upward, but this week showed a clear split in the marketsโ€”some sectors and regions continued to rise, while others slipped into the red. Despite this short-term dip following recent all-time highs, the broader picture remains positive: the portfolio is up 8.9% over the first four months of the year, which is encouraging. Since I started investing with this strategy, the results have been more than solidโ€”a total return of 73.55% over 85 weeks, outperforming my main benchmarks by roughly 47 percentage points. Performance within the eToro Popular Investor program was somewhat mixed. The number of copiers continues to grow, with 6 new investors joining this week, bringing the total to 325 people copying my strategy. Naturally, after a negative week, total assets under management dipped slightlyโ€”by about $5,000โ€”but still remain above the half-million mark at $504,000. There was more downside than upside across the portfolio. 17 out of 25 positions ended the week in the red, with an average decline of -5.6%, while the 8 gaining positions rose by an average of +5.5%. So while gains and losses were similar in magnitude, the balance clearly tilted toward declines. One position posted double-digit gains, while two saw double-digit losses. The standout performer was $NESTE.HE (Neste Oyj) , the Finnish energy giant specializing in renewable fuels, whose stock climbed +13.2%. The rally was largely driven by improving expectations for renewable fuel margins, along with geopolitical tensions in the Middle Eastโ€”particularly risks tied to the Strait of Hormuzโ€”which tend to increase energy price volatility and boost demand for alternative fuels. On the downside, the weakest performer was $RR.L (Rolls-Royce) , whose shares dropped -13.8% over the week. Close behind was $FRES.L (Fresnillo) , the worldโ€™s largest primary silver producer, which fell -10.9%. In Rolls-Royceโ€™s case, the decline appears to reflect profit-taking after a strong run, combined with sensitivity to shifting economic expectations. Fresnillo, meanwhile, was weighed down by falling silver prices and broader pressure across the commodities sector. The benchmarks I track also delivered mixed results. The S&P 500 rose +0.55%, while the MSCI World Index slipped -0.38%. As a result, both their year-to-date and overall returns have largely convergedโ€”currently sitting at around 4.6% for the year (over 4 percentage points behind my portfolio) and approximately 26.6% total return over the full period (about 47 percentage points lower than my performance). $SPX500 $NSDQ100 $GOLD $BTC
