December 2024 eToro Portfolio Update (PassionForProfit)

Hello Copiers, Followers, and eTorians!

Happy New Year! Welcome to my final portfolio update for 2024.

Performance Overview

  • 2024 Total Performance: +46.68%
  • December 2024 Performance: -12.46%
  • Risk Score: 6 (Medium)
  • Active Copiers: 19

 

Market Insights: December 2024

The U.S. stock market experienced a downturn in December, with major indices delivering mixed results:

  • S&P 500: -2.5%
  • Dow Jones Industrial Average: -5.27%
  • Nasdaq Composite: +0.39%

This decline can be attributed to several factors, including profit-taking after a strong year, concerns over high valuations, and uncertainties surrounding economic policies.

While my portfolio declined by 12.46% in December, it has significantly outperformed the broader market over the entire year, achieving a remarkable +46.68% return. For comparison:

  • S&P 500 (Annual): +23.3%
  • Dow Jones (Annual): +12.9%
  • Nasdaq Composite (Annual): +28.6%

Despite December’s dip, I’m proud of the overall results, which highlight the effectiveness of my strategy in capitalizing on market opportunities.

Portfolio Snapshot

Current Asset Allocation:

  • 37% Stocks
  • 26% ETFs
  • 13% Crypto
  • 24% Cash

My risk score has remained steady at 6 (medium) throughout December. Cash allocation is crucial for managing risk while maintaining the flexibility to seize opportunities at lower price points.

Looking Ahead: Strategy for 2025

As we move into 2025, I am approaching the markets with a balanced perspective, acknowledging both the opportunities and the challenges:

  • Opportunities: Economic growth, technological advancements, and market recovery potential.
  • Risks: High valuations and policy uncertainties.

I will continue to monitor the markets daily and make strategic adjustments to maximize returns while maintaining a medium-risk profile.

Recommendations for Copiers

If you’re considering copying my portfolio, here’s how to make the most of it:

  1. Invest a minimum of $2,000: This ensures proper diversification and mirrors my portfolio effectively.
  2. Focus on the long term: Keep the copy open for an extended period to benefit from compounding and market recoveries.
  3. Starting smaller? Begin with a lower amount and add funds later to build your investment.

Now is still an excellent time to start copying my portfolio or to add more funds if you’re already a copier.

Goals for 2025

  1. Outperform the S&P 500: Aim for another year of market-leading performance.
  2. Maintain a medium risk score: Balance risk and reward effectively.
  3. Achieve Champion Popular Investor status: Grow and strengthen our investment community.

Thank You
