It’s been quite a ride this year with the markets reaching new all-time highs yet again. In particular, the “Trump Trade” has showcased its influence, especially in the latter half of the year, post-September. The market has been buzzing with excitement, a trend clearly reflected across sectors like Tesla and cryptocurrencies—both of which are part of my investment portfolio.
Despite some ups and downs, my portfolio overall has climbed higher than where it started at the year’s outset. Bitcoin recently breached the $100,000 mark for the very first time, only to waver after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell announced there would be one less rate cut next year. Although I haven’t made a fortune overnight, the crypto world has seen numerous success stories, with investors earning from meme coins and leverage trading. I’m content, though, as reaching a $200,000 portfolio quicker than I anticipated is a win for me. To manage risk, I’m considering reallocating some profits into index ETFs or Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) for a bit more stability going forward.
