My Take
Alpha Picks celebrating it’s 3 year anniversary with those outrageous returns is testament to how well the team picks stocks, manages the portfolio and doesn’t try and time the market. You can do all the research you want, but all that matters in the end is price and making sure you buy low and sell high. They don’t have a 100% win rate nor do they optimize by trading these stocks with any strategy, but it’s an easy win as part of my portfolio.
Statistics show the more you trade, the less your overall returns will be. I’m a high tech growth oriented investor so I live with big ups and downs and sometimes I under perform, but adding this portfolio of small cap winners where I don’t have to research, I don’t have to watch and I only have to listen to the direction - it’s priceless.
My portfolio is made up of sections where I have my “trades”, “investments” and then “Alpha Picks”. I don’t track the performance of each, but I rather track how my portfolio does as a whole. This year I’m down (around 5%) because Apple ( AAPL 0.00%↑ ) is such a large position in my portfolio and is down 15% YTD. When over 50% of your portfolio is down 15%, to be down only 5% means the rest of your portfolio is outperforming and I’m okay with that.
This is what I mean by not following me, but making sure you’re comfortable with your own portfolio and positions. I have almost $200k invested in the Alpha Picks portfolio and while that’s not a very large position in my overall portfolio, a 10% gain in that portion is outperforming the S&P and adding to the half of my portfolio that’s greatly outperforming. It’s about self management.

🪙 It’s Still all about Tariffs
We got July 9th off the table …. It’s now August 1st after the July Fed meeting - so will the Fed say they are waiting to see the impact of tariffs or will they cut to try and get the timing right?
And Powell admitted - Trump is shooting himself in the foot … he would have had his rate cuts already if not for the aggressive tariff talk and the horrific rollout
But then you have a war on the brics nations …
And don’t dismiss this … it’s either a “buy every dip” market or there is another liberation day coming
So remember - my $tqqq play will be taken off if we see weakness this week.
