Like last year, I plan on depositing additional funds into my portfolio on the 1st of May 2026. You can choose to add funds yourself, or take no action and eToroโs algorithm will automatically re-sync your copy to my portfolio. See below for all the key information you need - Why, When and Copier Considerations. ๐๐๐ฎ? I believe adding funds annually to my account demonstrates my commitment to eToro and my copiers because it ensures my incentives are fully aligned with my co

Mixed Messages on Iran
A lot has happened in the week since my last update on the Iranian conflict, so I wanted to provide a brief update on where things stand now and my approach. Strait of Hormuz Status As of writing this, the Strait of Hormuz is still closed. Official tracking shows no ships passing through the strait over the past 24 hours, although it appears a handful of ships have been turning off transponders before navigating their way through. The US announced a $20BN insurance backstop a

November Portfolio Update
November was a painful month for my portfolio with a loss of just over 5%. This meant the portfolio dropped from 24.09% at the end of October to 17.84% by the end of November. I made quite a few tweaks to the portfolio through the month, mostly an effort to consolidate the portfolio more by reducing the number of positions held. There were also some earnings releases, a couple of which impacted the portfolio. Key Metrics November Portfolio Performance: -5.05% November S&P 500

Iโm here to add to those posts and share my thoughts after a few days back home from the event. Insights from the OGs Perhaps Iโm getting old, but I particularly enjoy talking to the OG popular investors whoโve been doing this for as long as I have.

AI Slop - Weโve all seen it in one form or another; low quality marketing imagery, poorly written social media comments and weird Instagram videos that defy logic.
