2025 was quite a good year for the portfolio, it went up in value with my contributions and also the volatility of it provided such excitement for me. Hoping to reduce the risky factor in the portfolio by diversifying more into index funds but at the same time to make calculated bets into what I believe will grow in the coming years.
2026 continues on the AI momentum as we see IREN, NIBS, uranium stocks as well as copper (commodity) gain interest, I do not know where to put my money in but am observing them as I feel I need to know more so that if any black swan event happens, I have the conviction to hold and not sell out.
Tesla and Bitcoin (both quite substantial positions in my portfolio) performed not as well as expected towards the end of 2025 and I don't intend to add more Tesla but for bitcoin I will add more positions slowly. I will be receiving some money from a savings plan that I started when I was 21 so after 10 years, the money will be back in my pocket. I think I would have done better investing it or maybe I would have just lost it all so it is a good addition. When I started the savings plan at that time, I just started working and my mum wanted me to get into the habit of forced savings so it was a save 5 years and locked in for another 5 years. Turns out, time passes really fast!

Since it will be a sum of about low 5 digit, I might start doing some cash secured puts on it before deciding where to deploy the money in. No concrete plans for now but holding on to it and doing cash secured puts is the current plan.
Other than that, IREN seems to be a counter that I like to have a position in. I understand that they used to be a Bitcoin miner company but have since pivoted to doing data centers for AI using 100% renewable energy with Bitcoin mining still around. I haven't done much research into it. There seems to be a momentum for its analyst are setting a pretty high buy price for it as it recently had a contract awarded by Microsoft. I am not really knowledgeable in AI, chips and data centers but I can see the rise in excitement as well as more people talking about the relevant industries. Will initiate a small position before their earnings on 11 Feb 2026 and see how it goes.
Besides that, CSPX monthly position is still going on and so that is my plan so far, looking at uranium shares but I don't want to be investing into so many counters that I am not familiar with so that is just something I am looking at now and not initiating any positions.
2026 portfolio expectations
I think it will be a volatile year and the portfolio value is not something that I can control over time as it depends on many factors however, I want to make sure that I am adding in consistently and that is the plan. Of course, building a cash position is also part of the plan as I think the stock market might face some downturn although no one knows but having a cash position will allow me to take some opportunities if there is a downturn.
I lost my Bitcoin to fake blockchain impostors on Facebook. They contacted me as blockchain official support, and I fell for their mischievous act. This gave them access to my blockchain wallet account, whereby 7.0938 BTC was stolen from my wallet. I was almost in a coma and dumbfounded because this was all the savings I banked on, waiting for the Bitcoin rate to improve. Then my niece recommended an expert to me. I researched online and found the recovery expert, with the contact via (support@boleynonline.com). I wrote directly to the specialist explaining my loss. Hence, they helped me recover 85% of my bitcoin after 4days. He helped me launch the recovery program, and the culprits were identified as well, all thanks to his expertise. I hope I have been able to help someone as well. Reach out to the recovery specialist to recover your lost funds from any form of online scam.
