PORTFOLIO UPDATE

Forgot to post for a couple of weeks, been travelling for work and just haven't found the time.

I definitely sold out of BBOZ to early on the rate decision that occurred a few weeks. This was a valuable lesson for me to not back my hypothesis in absolutely, if I had allowed myself to wait and watch the market and allowed for a slightly bigger window I would of caught the ASX downside and hedged the downside of a lot of my portfolio.

Additionally I loaded up on the property sector which continued to slide off the back of the decision (once again ~ if I had waited to watch the market on a slightly bigger window I likely would of gotten in at a better price.

None the less here is how we sit since the 01/JAN/2025

Other Thoughts / Ramblings and blog stuff

Resources sector allocation is now on target since increasing my holdings a few weeks ago. I am starting to see the upside on ASX:WIRE as @Sean K pointed out in his thread (and he seemingly saw that breakout!). My portfolio is currently right on where I want its weightings, I am set to get dividend income at the end of March.

I am waiting to see what happens on April 2nd prior to making any new injection into my portfolio, I figure the volatility caused in the lead up + after that day will lead to opportunity (for people that don't know what I am talking about I'm referring to Trumps broad based reciprocal tariffs).

Currently have cash ready to inject which is equivalent of ~5-6% of the current portfolio value.

I am also set to get a pay rise + promotion at work which will enable me to continue to scale this portfolio, I am also set to graduate my studies at the end of this year which will enable me to leave my home city if applicable opportunities arise.

None the less - Onwards & Upwards.
 
indeed i exited BEAR early as well BUT i locked in an acceptable profit ( and wasn't a forced seller )

could have been better ( or worse )

DON"T count on Trump's tariffs they MIGHT be a negotiating tactic ( but have options ready just in case )

tariffs are great IF you have a strong manufacturing/infrastructure base , but since the US imports so much stuff , that indicates other nations can do it better AND absorb the logistics costs of sending it the the international buyer

time will tell if tariffs do what is planned they haven't been so useful to the EU which have had them for decades , mid-term maybe but long term they tend to make local manufacturers/producers bloated and lazy
