šŸ“ˆ Monthly Portfolio Update | +14.4% vs S&P 500 +3.3%

August is shaping up nicely. Over the past month, the portfolio is up +14.4%, compared with +3.3% for the S&P 500.

The goal isn’t to chase every market move. I’m focused on building a diversified portfolio, managing risk, and taking a disciplined approach to opportunities as they arise.

šŸš€ Portfolio: +14.4%

šŸ“Š S&P 500: +3.3%

šŸ† Outperformance: +11.1 percentage points

No hype. No promises. Just the journey, one month at a time.

Past performance is not an indication of future results. Investing involves risk, and you can lose money.

Rather than diversification, I would call it concentration. 6 companies is heavy concentration, but at least 3 of them in exactly the same sector, that is conviction.

If I had 6 companies in a portfolio, I would definitely choose unrelated sectors.

What makes you expect a reversal in software in the coming weeks/months? Any unusual options activity?

I wouldn’t frame it as a bet on a near-term ā€œreversalā€ so much as a valuation + fundamentals setup.

The common thread across INTU, CRM, NOW, ORCL and ZS is that I think the market has become overly selective on software: AI disruption is being priced more aggressively than the actual impact on durable FCF and enterprise spending. If growth stabilizes, margins keep expanding and AI starts becoming a monetization tailwind rather than just a threat, the multiple compression can reverse quickly.

So the concentration is intentional: I’m betting that the current software pessimism is too extreme relative to the quality of these businesses. AECOM is there specifically as the non-software diversifier.

On options activity, I’m not relying on any unusual flow as the thesis. The key catalyst for me is earnings/guidance showing that the feared slowdown isn’t materializing.

You focus on a strong diversified portfolio?? Really? You have 6 companies and you call that diversification?

AN

I am in the process of further diversifying, however, I want to capture the most of the software reversal that will occur in the coming weeks/months.
