Strategy

Updated

I anchor this portfolio to its QQQ benchmark with a 70% core position for diversified large-cap tech exposure. Satellites of 10% NVDA and 10% AVGO concentrate exposure in mega-cap AI hardware leaders I expect to keep outpacing the index, with 10% cash kept as dry powder. I rebalance only when an allocation drifts materially from its target or when new information breaks this thesis.

Written when the portfolio was worth $10,000.00.
