March Portfolio Update
One of the key moves this month was reallocating part of the portfolio into energy stocks, a position that has acted both as an effective hedge and a strong contributor relative to the benchmark. This shift has helped balance the portfolio during a period of elevated volatility in broader equities.
Portfolio Positioning
As mentioned in my previous update, I’m gradually shifting focus back toward individual stock selection, as I’m finally seeing more opportunities at reasonable valuations.
To take advantage of this environment, I will be making an additional deposit of approximately 10–12% of the current portfolio size this month.
I believe this is an attractive moment to increase exposure.
Copiers will receive the usual notification. You can choose to deposit more to maintain the same exposure, or simply let eToro automatically rebalance within 48 hours, I will aim to keep similar weightings regardless.
A Note on Market Psychology
This environment is a perfect example of what Benjamin Graham described as “Mr. Market.”
Mr. Market shows up every day offering you a price, sometimes irrationally high, sometimes irrationally low.
Last year, he was optimistic and willing to pay elevated valuations. Now, sentiment is shifting, and he’s offering assets at more attractive prices.
The paradox is that everyone says they want to buy at lower prices, but when those prices finally arrive, fear tends to take over.
Looking Ahead
Volatility is increasing, but so are opportunities.
The focus remains clear:
✅ Stay rational when markets turn emotional
✅ Increase exposure when valuations improve
✅ Prioritize long‑term positioning over short‑term noise... Show More
