Nothing like an all time high. My eToro portfolio is now up +54.92% this year. It’s free to copy. 😄🙌🏻

Markets rebounding nicely off the lows 🙌🏻

With indexes nearing all time highs, and more concern about valuations. Some investors are looking to take a more defensive approach to equities. One ETF I think is worth looking at is the SPDR S&P US Dividend Aristocrats ETF $UDVD. To qualify, companies must have increased their dividends for at least 20 consecutive years. That’s 20 years of dividend increases, through recessions, market crashes and everything in between. The ETF currently holds 155 companies, trades at a forward P/E of around 16.4 and offers a dividend yield of approximately 2.8%. Certainly worth a look for anyone wanting to stay invested in equities but perhaps take a bit less risk.

Borders & Southern Petroleum $BOR There was a lot of chatter around this stock back during the lead-up to Rockhopper Exploration’s FID announcement. $RKH Particularly over on the LSE share chat forums. Share price currently sits at 10.90p. The company recently raised £2m from a single investor at a premium to the market price. Still a long way to go before the Darwin project is up and running. However, reason for some encouragement.

$ADBE Adobe’s struggles continue as we now sit at a price of USD 240.20. I recently increased my allocation and am HOLDING in my eToro portfolio. Despite a recent earnings beat, the stock continues to slide due to the perceived threat of generative AI to Adobe’s business. I’m counting on Adobe having the technology & customer base to profit from the AI buildout in the long run. Adobe currently comprises 5.27% of my portfolio.

A tough few months for Rare Earths since reaching a top in May. This cyclical & thematic ETF can be a valuable addition to high risk long term portfolios. Contains many strategic metals & resources businesses located in Australia. $ASX Attractive entry point. $REMX

There was way too much hype around this IPO. I knew when I was getting several enquiries from very casual and non active investors to take part in this IPO that there might be trouble ahead! $SPCX

eToro Portfolio took a dip yesterday. $AAPL probably the only stock that didn't take dive. Only a few days ago we hit an ATH and now around 8% down from that mark. That's markets and tech investing for you!

eToro Video bio uploaded ✅ I wonder if other PI’s have found that this helps onboard more copiers or not?

Good argument for Rockhopper Exploration $RKH.L if oil price continues to rise & Argentina tensions cool.

Probably saying thank you.

If you're a long term investor, you've got to stop worrying about the day to day swings. I see so many overreactions on here... Why are you worried about premarket on a random Wednesday if your portfolio is set up for 5 years or more. 🤣

Time & Health

Weekly eToro Portfolio Update 📈 A pretty mixed week, finishing +0.07%. $SHOP +12.85%, $MELI +11.39% and $INTU +7.71% had great weeks, while our semiconductor holdings took a bit of a step back. Balancing AI infrastructure and software is key for our strategy long term. Happy to be back above $50k AUC on eToro! Hopefully we can stay above it this time and finally get that Champion promotion 🤞 Filming my video bio this week too! 2026 YTD: +53.01% 🚀 Thanks to everyone copying and following along!

If you've never done it. Ask to borrow a girl's phone that has dating apps. Eye opener. They are inundated, overloaded with options. No matter what they look like or have on their profile.

Not a 'bubble' if the growth in share price is driven by profitability now or next year. In my opinion.
