Dear investors,
October has been the most profitable month so far. With a gain of 13.63%, the total return for 2025 is now +36.10%.
These are the months when everything seems to be going well. On the other hand, you also have to keep an eye on the sectors where this is happening. And at the moment, that is of course the tech sector, and in particular the AI sector. You often hear that this sector, with funds such as Palantir, is greatly overvalued. But we have to admit that this is the future. Just as computers and mobile phones were in the past.
Last month, we said goodbye to META and BYD. We also took partial profits on AMD. This stock had exploded (see chart). We sold six shares and still have 15 in our portfolio.
Other sectors I am looking at are rare earths. I made a small investment at the end of October, but have not yet been successful. I am also looking at shares in the drone sector. There is a lot of potential there too.
We are all dependent on general sentiment. But if you make the right choices, it turns out that you do have to opt for certain sectors if you want to beat the market.
Let's hope for a good end to the year. Statistically speaking, the period from the second half of November to the beginning of next year is a very strong one.
If you are interested in following my portfolio, you are of course very welcome to do so.
We currently have a special offer to try it out for €1. Click here to do so.
Sincerely,
