Record highs on Wednesday followed by a two day tumble to end the option cycle. I do okay, but am now lagging SPY for calendar 2025.
Here are a few ETFs year to date for 2025:
GLD gold 11.8%
EEM emerging mkt 7.4%
SLV silver 4.9%
QQQ Nasdaq 100 2.9%
SPY SP500 2.4%
TLT US20 yr -0.8%
IWM Russell 2000 -1.4%
My account +2.1% so slightly behind. I remain overweight mega-cap tech, while maintaining a healthy reserve. So far, it hasn’t been that good. I haven’t taken advantage of the bull moves in GLD, EEM, SLV which are leading the pack so far.
Not much is compelling. WMT took a tumble after running higher. Same story in quite a few stocks. I devote much of my recent time to songwriting.
Off topic, I participate in February Album Writing Month. The music side of the blog has the five song EP and the B-side with nine other songs and song sketches.
Here is the music side of the blog:
