I’ve got a bad feeling about my portfolio today but I’m confident in the medium term. I’m pretty heavy weighted in Oil. After that rally last Thursday it’s definitely gonna retreat a bit.
Come summer it’s gonna rip

I could never justify exposing my family to that kind of risk.

My inv property (delayed to 2022) and home renewal are due for mortgage next year.
I'm doing a fixed this time. First time ever. Rates should still be low next year. I don't see how rates can go any lower than 2%-ish. My variable plan right now I'm paying 1.75%.

As I'm a fairly "new" investor of only about three years now, I want to bring up that if you're looking at ETFs, do some more research than I did when thinking you're diversifying. These are two different ETFs I hold. While both ahve made me money during the good times, they both are fundamentally the same thing and offer little to no diversification.

Is it really that much of a risk? You can switch to a fixed whenever you want. Take the lower variable rate and overpay as if you took the fixed.
I’ll take the variable “risk” over the risk of having to sell my home early and pay absurd mortgage break fees. Those ird break fees can be insane.

Nothing fundamentally wrong with having two different etf's with similar holdings but it's the amount of money you have in them relative to the rest of your portfolio that's important.

I bet the UK Stock Market will skyrocket as the Tax Year starts anew and people who Maxed their ISAs early will start to cram as much money into it again come tomorrow! (UK Markets are shut during Easter Mondays).
Might buy a lot more Sylvania Platinum if it doesn't run up too high.

Down about 1% but I expected that. The oil run last Thursday was too good.

Nah, you gotta be careful.
When we create portfolio's we're limited by exposure. So for example a single portfolio cannot have an exposure to an asset of more than 10.0%. So if I buy Appl, then I have to make sure that my total exposure to Appl is less than 10.0% this includes ETFs.
Reason being is that it affects the beta and VAR. So if Appl is weighted higher in an ETF and I also have the stock Appl, then a loss greater than the expected mean will drag my portfolio down.

I think we are in agreement. Everything you've said about limiting exposure was exactly what I was getting at but you worded it far better than I did

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
My portfolio is positive for the year again.
I am either a good investor (doubtful) or too stupid to realize the massive risks I am exposed to (most likely).
I just wish I had bought more aggressively during the last dip.
I am heavy in tech, didn’t do a single move during the last dip other than pick up more tech stocks.

Did you ever heard about the cat stock picker. It performed better than most portfolio managers.

Should this be your financial advisor? A house cat named Orlando did a better job managing investments over the year 2012 than a team of professional money managers, the British paper The Observer reports. The paper ran a contest where it gave three teams—a trio of money managers, a group of [...]

Currently up +0.5%. Might be 3 days in a row combining for about +2.5%. I'll take it.

NASDAQ is looking stronger going foward. Not compared to the DOW but the usual winners on the NASDAQ for the longer term and ahead of earnings are looking good.
MSFT continues to be a powerhouse.

This is the list of ETF's that I'm currently invested in, research, pick, and balance as you like:
ARKW
BLOK
BTEC
CARZ
CNBS
CTEC
DGT
KARS
KBWY
LIT
PAVE
PDBC
PPA
PXJ
QQQM
RNRG
ROKT
SMH
SPMD
SPSM
SRET
UFO
URA
VOO
XLE
XLF
XME
Planning on holding them for 5+ years.
I'll probably add a value/consumer one but apart from that I'm pretty comfortable barring a crash in any industry linked to the thematic etf's. Decided a couple of weeks ago I'm not going to bother with individual stocks anymore (other than the odd couple I have high conviction in) so gradually scaling out of the ones I have and I'm loading in to the above. Not going to swing trade either, too dodgy in the current market.
Yes, it's "lazy" investing but I'm also day trading/scalping (which ironically I'm much more comfortable with than swing trading, maybe I just like the simplicity of it) and any 75% of the money I gain from that is being funneled into the ETF's.

I sort of felt this way looking at a lot of them. Like it feels like they shouldnt have as much steady growth as they do. Like something has to give?

The same has been said of the stock market in general...
Not gonna withdraw and put money in the bank so I'll just roll with the punches.
BLOK is great for swings but make sure you buy below 54 if that's what you plan on doing.

Thanks I'll look in to it to make sure nothing I'm holding brings up any red flags. Is it the one available on the CFA institute website?
I'm not holding any of the bull/bear leveraged etf's and to be honest I've only ever bought SQQQ on days when the market had been horrible but then sold before close.
My view is that if you're going to gamble you may as well go all the way, and that's day trading. I've developed a lot of respect for swing traders, does my head in and I quite simply don't have the fortitude for it. For me personally I find day trading and scalping a lot easier, but then a lot of people say the opposite so...

I think I would feel better about day trading too but the stupid limits on it are what hold me back. Maybe if i get to 25k I will look into it more.Thanks I'll look in to it to make sure nothing I'm holding brings up any red flags. Is it the one available on the CFA institute website?

But I will say the lsat 2-3 months have been a wild ride in terms of playing stuff like GME and crypto. I think crypto is the only thing I would continue to day trade at this point. If you wait for a crash it almost seems like free money at this point. But now that I said that it will bite me in the ass.
