After my portfolio gained more than 6% last week, it followed up with another strong performanceโ€”this time rising by over 5%, helped once again by positive geopolitical developments. Thatโ€™s about 1.5 percentage points faster than the broader stock market, which is a meaningful outperformance. This pushed my year-to-date return up to a solid +8.07%, while the total return over 83 weeks climbed to 72.23%. Two strong weeks like these have brought my portfolio close to its all-time high again (around 75%). The sense of calm and optimism wasnโ€™t just reflected in performanceโ€”it showed in investor activity as well. This week, 13 new investors started copying my portfolio on eToro, bringing the total to 238. As both returns and investor numbers grow, the capital copying my portfolio has increased by over $20,000 for the second week in a row (nearly $24,000 this time). The total assets following my strategy now stand at approximately $340,000. Looking at individual positions, the picture is clearly positive. 19 out of 25 holdings posted gains, with an average increase of 6.7%. Five positions delivered double-digit growth, while the six declining positions fell by only about 3% on average. The standout performer this week was South Korean tech giant $SMSN.L (Samsung Electronics Co Ltd - GDR) . After a solid gain of 4.2% last week, the stock surged by 15.35%. This sharp move was largely driven by improving sentiment in the semiconductor sectorโ€”particularly stronger expectations for a recovery in the memory market (DRAM and NAND), along with growing demand tied to artificial intelligence. Among the biggest decliners was $FIVE (Five Below Inc) , a U.S. retail company I added to the portfolio at the beginning of April. Its stock dropped 7.66%, pressured by more cautious forecasts and investor concerns about slowing consumer spending in lower-income segments, as well as generally weaker sentiment across the retail sector. Overall, the broader market grew at a slower pace than my portfolio. Both the S&P 500 and MSCI World indices still posted solid gains of around 3.5โ€“3.6%. The MSCI World index is now up roughly 1% for 2026, while the S&P 500 remains slightly in the red at -0.43%. After 83 weeks of investingโ€”and especially following this strong stretchโ€”Iโ€™m now outperforming both indices by more than 50 percentage points. $SPX500 $NSDQ100 $GOLD $BTC
