November 2025 eToro Portfolio Update (PassionForProfit)

Hello Copiers, Followers, and eTorians!

Here’s my portfolio update for November 2025.

It was a volatile month for US equities, marked by tech and crypto sector turbulence.

Performance Overview

  • November: -10.24%

  • Year-to-Date (YTD): +5.47%

  • 2024 Performance: +46.68%

  • Risk Score: 5

  • Active Copiers: 18

US Market Recap

  • S&P 500: +0.13%

  • Dow Jones: +0.32%

  • Nasdaq: -1.51%

The S&P 500 and Dow eked out modest gains overall, but the Nasdaq declined about 1.51% amid AI valuation worries and profit-taking in high-flying stocks like Nvidia.

Key Market Drivers

  • AI Valuation Concerns in Tech Sector: Fears of an AI bubble led to sharp declines in stocks like Nvidia (down ~15% for the month), contributing to the Nasdaq’s 1.5-3% drop and snapping its seven-month winning streak, as investors questioned overvaluations amid high expectations.
  • Government Shutdown Uncertainty: The prolonged 43-day US federal shutdown (ending Nov 12) delayed critical economic data releases and eroded consumer confidence to near-record lows.

Cryptocurrency Market

  • Bitcoin (BTC): -17.54%

  • Ethereum (ETH): –22.25%

Bitcoin endured its worst month in over three years, closing around $86K by month-end, driven by risk aversion, liquidations, and macro headwinds. Record outflows ($3.7B from ETFs) and a “death cross” technical signal amplified the sell-off, but institutional custody trends hinted at long-term resilience.
Ethereum mirrored broader crypto woes, turning negative YTD with a drop to ~$2,800, fueled by $1.4B ETF outflows and liquidations ($273M longs).

Portfolio Snapshot

  • 32% Stocks

  • 46% ETFs

  • 13% Crypto

  • 9% Cash

My risk score is 5, excellent for managing long-term stability while achieving strong returns.

Outlook for November

As December 2025 begins, the US stock market enters its traditional “Santa Claus rally” period with a mix of seasonal optimism and macroeconomic caution. Following November’s volatile close, major benchmarks are hovering near all-time highs.

Key Positive Drivers:

  • Federal Reserve Rate Cut Expectations: Markets now price in an 85–88% chance of a 25 basis-point cut at the Fed’s December 10–11 meeting, up from ~50% mid-November, following dovish comments from Fed Presidents.
  • Seasonal and Technical Tailwinds: December has historically delivered positive returns 74% of the time since 1950, with average S&P gains of 1.4% (third-best month annually). Post-Thanksgiving momentum, year-end rebalancing by funds, and “window dressing” (managers buying winners to polish portfolios) could drive a rally, especially if nonfarm payrolls (Dec 6) and PCE inflation (Dec 6) data align dovishly.

My strategy remains unchanged: monitor markets daily, adjust positions strategically, and continue maximising returns while keeping 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.
