What I changed my mind on in 1 year?

  • There is no truly buy and forget passive instruments with gazillions of dollars flowing into index my personal take is system driven (quant) and active (fundamental) oriented investments will win

  • S&P500 may have a lost decade when the AI bubble bursts - timing no one knows but it will burst, make hay while sunshines :)

  • I learned a lot on QUANTS/ technichals reskilling myself and now some of my ETF retirement portfolio is managed using these systems

To another glorious year
