The market kept moving with a risk-on tone. AI, semiconductors and infrastructure related names remained strong, while lower oil prices and some relief in yields helped the broader market stay constructive. The main theme is still the same: investors are rewarding companies linked to real structural demand. AI infrastructure. Memory. Data centers. Power. Connectivity. Industrial capacity. That is exactly where a large part of this portfolio is already positioned, so naturally the week worked in our favour. There was some profit-taking toward the end of the week, but nothing dramatic. After a strong move, that is normal. The overall setup still looks constructive, just not something to chase blindly. ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜ ๐Ÿฎ ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ผ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€ It was a strong week for the strategy. The portfolio finished around +3.0% for the week. The reason is pretty straightforward: we were already positioned in the areas that led the market. Technology remains the largest part of the stock portfolio, at roughly 46% of stock exposure. Names like CRDO, $MU (Micron Technology, Inc.), $GOOG (Alphabet), $ASML (ASML Holding NV), MXL, $TTMI (TTM Technologies Inc), $CLS (Celestica Inc) and LITE give us exposure to AI infrastructure, semiconductors, optical connectivity and the data center buildout. That worked well this week. But this is not just a โ€œbuy anything with AI in the nameโ€ portfolio. The structure is still balanced. Iโ€™m keeping around 16% in $BIL (SPDR Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF), short term T-bills, as dry powder and ballast. We also have meaningful exposure to Industrials and Materials through names like STRL, POWL, AGX, NEXA, $DY (Dycom Industries Inc.) and the gold/mining sleeve. So the idea is simple: stay exposed to structural growth where earnings momentum is real; keep enough flexibility so we are not forced to sell good positions during normal volatility. No major changes this week. Sometimes the right move is just to let the portfolio work. Monitor the risks, avoid overtrading, and donโ€™t try to be clever just because the market gave you a green week. ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜ ๐Ÿฏ ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—œโ€™๐—บ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜…๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ธ Next week will be more about macro. We have ISM Manufacturing, JOLTS job openings, and then the big one on Friday: the May jobs report. The market has been willing to focus on growth recently, especially around AI and infrastructure, but rates still matter. If labour data starts to cool, equities could get more room to move higher. If the jobs report comes in too hot, the higher for longer narrative can come back quickly. So Iโ€™m not planning to force anything. The portfolio is already positioned where I want it: structural growth, some defensive flexibility, and a macro hedge through Materials and gold/miners. No need to chase. No need to panic. Let the data come to us. Thank you to all my copiers and fellow investors for staying the course. Bogdan
