This result was driven by a strategic selection of high-growth assets, particularly within technology and cryptocurrency sectors. ๐Ÿ† ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ผ ๐—ง๐—ผ๐—ฝ ๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€ $AVGO (Broadcom Inc) (Broadcom): +50.49% $BTC (Bitcoin) (Bitcoin): +46.32% $TSLA (Tesla Motors, Inc.)

The S&P 500 gained 6.2%, while the Nasdaq increased by 9.6%, marking its best monthly performance since 2023. This positive performance was supported by a temporary easing of trade tariffs between the US and China, alongside signals of cooling inflation. Moreover, corporate earnings have continued to surprise analysts positively for an extended period, now reaching 18 consecutive months. However, concerns persist regarding US public debt, which reached record levels. In May, US debt surpassed $36 trillion, with a debt-to-GDP ratio estimated at around 125%. This situation led Moody's to downgrade the US debt rating, increasing uncertainty among investors. Additionally, the potential for unexpected announcements from President Trump draws attention to possible volatility shifts we might experience during this year. This is why I'm currently accumulating cash reserves (held in Euros), which can be deployed if the market experiences significant downturns. In these scenarios, as Warren Buffett famously advises, cash is king, providing ammunition to capitalize on attractive asset prices. ๐Ÿ” ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ผ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ด๐˜† The DonyTrader Portfolio continues to follow a disciplined, quantitative strategy focusing on: - Selecting 20 global stocks based on proprietary algorithms. - Incorporating 1-2 commodities via liquid ETFs. - Including 1-5 cryptocurrencies selected according to algorithmic criteria.
