Deja Vu
Midweek Update
Introduction
It is April 9th, 2026. This may not seem significant to most, but for market participants, this is exactly 1 year after the market bottomed amidst the tariff war between the U.S and China. That period marked a significant opportunity in the market, and I think the recent flurry with Iran does as well, with my portfolio reflecting this sentiment. Performance for the year is as follows:
YARTONDEX: +23.69%
S&P 500: -0.92%
NASDAQ: -3.90%
DOW: -2.50%
In this article, I will be covering:
Staying convicted through turbulence
The similarities in price action and impact between 2025 and now
Ideas that didn’t break a sweat through the downtrend
My thoughts on portfolio management moving forward
