Friday’s Wall Street Correction – Volatility Is Part of Long-Term Investing The U.S. stock market ended the week with a significant sell-off. The S&P 500 declined by 2.64%, the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite lost 4.18%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 1.35%. The reason was not weak economic data. Quite the opposite – the U.S. labor market showed continued strength. The economy added 172,000 new jobs, while the unemployment rate remained stable at 4.3%. The market interpreted this as a signal that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates higher for longer. Growth technology companies and semiconductor stocks, which had experienced strong gains recently, reacted the most. Naturally, my portfolio was also affected by this market move. Technology and AI infrastructure remain among my key investment areas, as I continue to see strong long-term growth potential in these sectors. Some of my major holdings include: • AMD • Microsoft • Nvidia • Amazon • TSMC • Meta At the same time, my portfolio is not built around only one investment theme. It also includes exposure to industrials, financial services, communication services, consumer companies, and commodity-related businesses. I currently hold approximately 10% in cash, which provides flexibility during larger market movements. After a strong rally, a correction has arrived. June is currently around -3.6%, but the overall performance for the year remains positive at approximately +6.5%, while maintaining a risk score of 4. My strategy remains unchanged: ✓ own high-quality companies ✓ focus on earnings growth and cash flow ✓ avoid selling strong businesses because of short-term volatility ✓ use market corrections with discipline In the short term, markets react to interest rates and emotions. In the long term, company earnings drive performance. Thank you to all investors who copy my portfolio. Discipline and patience remain the foundation of my investment strategy.
