Hello to all my copiers and followers π
A busy and very important day on the markets:
Earnings are set to be released after market close for GOOG, AMZN, META & MSFT. Plus, the FED will be announcing their interest rate decision (a hold is again most likely). This will also be Jerome Powellβs last meeting as Chair. With the combination of all these events, high volatility is most definitely expected.
Since my last post the markets have again turned more cautious, largely linked to concerns of Iran tensions remaining longer than anticipated. As a result, the portfolio has dropped slightly to +2.68% (at time of writing), just under the S&P500. However, I am continuing to tweak and adjust the portfolio when needed.
We also have a cash position of around 15% at the moment, in addition to the larger deposit I am planning to make on Friday (please see my last post two weeks ago for full info). So, we will have substantial funds over the coming weeks, to turn any dips to our advantage.
Lastly, just a reminder that the UK market will be closed on Monday for the May Day Bank Holiday π¬π§
As always, many thanks to you all for your support and trust on here. It is greatly appreciated!

Powell's last meeting overlapping with GOOG/AMZN/META/MSFT earnings is a brutal volatility setup. I have been holding extra cash for similar reasons - the asymmetry favors patience right now. Curious whether you have specific names on your watchlist for the dips? π... Show More
