Special message for my copiers and traders in general 📉 Green seduces. Red reveals who’s who. There are months when the market doesn’t ask how much you know. It asks how much you can take. And March has been one of those months. 🌍 Geopolitics stepped in again. 📊 The bearish bias is still there. ⚠️ And even when rebounds show up, the market still feels more fragile than strong. Yes, some accounts are bleeding. Yes, some portfolios are under pressure. And yes, others are still breathing a little easier simply because they entered at a different time. Because this is one of the uncomfortable truths of investing: not all of us live through the same drawdown, even when we’re looking at the same assets. A lot of serious portfolios have had at least one of the last three months in the red… or so close to flat that it barely matters. And in my case, I even added capital: close to 6% more. Not for show. Not out of romanticism. But because a thesis is not worth more when people applaud it. It is worth more when the market puts pressure on you and you still don’t lose your discipline. My portfolio is not built to make the market like me for one week. It has a core in $VOO (Vanguard S&P 500 ETF) and $QQQ. It has conviction in quality with $MSFT (Microsoft), $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation), $GOOG (Alphabet), $TSM (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd - ADR), $ASML (ASML Holding NV) and $ADBE. It has a forward-looking angle in $RKLB (Rocket Lab Corp) and $SMR. It has a crypto core with $BTC, $ETH and $SOL. And it also has positions that, if it is time to exit, will be exited in an orderly way… not in panic. That is part of portfolio management too. Because not every position asks for the same thing. Some are there to hold the thesis. Some are there to capture value. Some are there to wait for their moment without drama. And here comes something many people forget when they copy: Two copiers can follow exactly the same thesis… and still live through completely different stories. One may have entered during euphoria, at inflated prices and with less room to breathe. Another may have entered during a selloff, with far more cushion from the start. 🎯 Same thesis. 🎯 Same portfolio. 🎯 Different entry point. 🎯 Different total return potential. And this does not only happen when you copy a PI. It also happens when you copy an ETF, a SmartPortfolio, or any ready-made strategy. Because when you copy, you are not buying someone else’s past. You are stepping into a thesis, entering the booth, becoming the DJ… and remixing it with your own entry prices. That is why I say this seriously: 🚫 If you are going to copy, do not copy during moments of FOMO. Do not copy when everything looks easy. Do not copy when the market has already made everyone look brilliant. Do not copy when enthusiasm shows up late, dressed up nicely and convinced it has finally found the secret. ✅ Copy when you understand the thesis. ✅ Copy when there is consistency between what is said and what is actually endured. ✅ Copy when the market feels uncomfortable. Because many times, the best entry points are born right there… where almost nobody wants to step in. 🙏 And to my copiers: thank you. Thank you, sincerely, for being here even when the screen is not helping. When the noise gets louder. When patience weighs more than optimism. Because anyone can stay around when things are green. But staying when the market tightens, without demanding magic and without buying empty hype, carries a different kind of value. I do not control when this bearish stretch will end. I do not control when fear fades. And I do not control when the market starts rewarding a thesis again. What I do control is not turning into a salesman when the screen turns ugly. Because anyone looks brilliant in green. But the market does not define anyone when everything is going up. It defines you when it puts pressure on you. When the applause stops. When it leaves you alone with your thesis. 🔥 Copying at the highs and demanding calm at the lows is not investing: it is renting euphoria and returning panic. And you, when you copy or invest, what do you value most: the entry price, the thesis… or the patience to hold it when the market tightens? Would you copy a thesis deep in the red… or do you only dare when the green has already come back? If you made it this far, drop a like and leave a comment. Steady hand, life vest on: the market decides.
