My portfolio climbed 1.9% since my last update, outpacing SPY’s 1.0% over the same period. I was this close to cracking the $900k mark, but the latest tariff flare‑up trimmed the final leg of the run. Markets gonna market.
You might notice I made an unexpected call to retire Trending Alternatives, the live strategy I recently shared. One of its core holdings, HNW, was delisted—making this the second time that spell had to be reworked due to a delisting. Rather than patch it again, I shelved the spell and rotated into SPHB/SPLV with RSI Ensemble. I used the change as an opportunity to rebalance the whole portfolio.
Between recurring tariff brinkmanship and expanding state capitalism, it’s been a tricky market for systematic strategies to navigate. I’m feeling pretty fortunate about how things have played out so far this year. Here’s to a strong finish before year-end!
