This week has been fantastic for the portfolio. ๐Ÿฅณ

May 15, 2026

At the time of writing, weโ€™re up around 7.5% for the week, which is a very strong move in such a short period. Part of that came from $AEVA, where two of our price targets were reached. Those positions were closed with profits of 28.8% and 12.8%. Because of that, we now have a small cash buffer again. Itโ€™s still tiny, but it gives us a bit more flexibility if the market gives us a pullback. Premarket currently looks like it may become a profit-taking day. After a weekly move like this, that would be completely healthy. A 7.5% increase in one week is extreme, some cooling off is normal and probably even needed. The goal stays the same: stay patient, manage risk, and keep building around the long-term story.

Quick update on $OUST: A fascinating company in LiDAR technology. Keep in mind, like most of our stocks, it's not currently profitable and comes with inherent risks. LiDAR technology can become an important sensing layer for robotics, automation, smart infrastructure, security and autonomous systems. The story is not about current profitability yet, like most of our stocks, Ouster is still loss-making. The question is whether the company can keep growing revenue while improving margins and controlling costs. In Q1 2026, revenue was around $48.6m, up 49% year-over-year and the balance sheet looks relatively clean, with around $175m in cash and no major debt pressure. Based on the current numbers, I estimate that Ouster likely needs quarterly revenue somewhere around $65m to reach adjusted EBITDA break-even, assuming margins and operating costs stay roughly in line. That means adjusted break-even could become realistic around 2027 if the company continues its current growth trend. Itโ€™s unlikely that Ouster needs massive near-term investments to keep growing, the current cash position should support continued growth for the coming year, but dilution risk remains something to watch for in 2026. My opinion is that $OUST remains high-risk, but the setup is improving. The next key milestone is clear: continue moving revenue from roughly $50m per quarter toward $60mโ€“$70m, while keeping margins stable and costs under control. If we see that happening I'll dive deeper into the market to see where we might be going with this technology and which opportunities I see fit. For now I'm definitely holding and if dilution happens I might add some to our position.

Two weeks ago I mentioned how frustrating the constant headline-driven moves have become. Itโ€™s hard to invest with any consistency when a single tweet or geopolitical comment can move the market a few percent in an hour. At the time, I expected the market to start ignoring it. Looking at where we are now, that seems to be happening. While most of the focus stayed on geopolitics, the S&P 500 pushed higher again and recovered quickly from the earlier drop. The reaction to headlines is still there, but it fades faster. The market shifts its attention back to earnings, growth expectations, and spending. And that's great for us because we need people to believe in the future of the companies weโ€™re invested in because they need the support of the market to grow. Weโ€™re seeing strong expectations for 2026 earnings and continued consumer strength. Thatโ€™s whatโ€™s driving the market right now, not the latest headline cycle. A good example in my portfolio is $NIO while the focus stays on tariffs and trade tensions, the company reported a 136% year-over-year increase in deliveries for March. And earlier this month they announced their newest flagship the ES9 and if the rumors are true, this looks like another seller. The fundamentals are great and the future looks even better and thatโ€™s why I remain bullish long term. There is one thing to keep in mind though... A strong market can also encourage more aggressive behavior from policymakers. If markets keep pushing higher despite headlines, it can create the impression that thereโ€™s room to escalate further without consequences. So keep that in mind the coming weeks, a small correction wouldn't surprise me. So while the market is starting to ignore the noise faster, it doesnโ€™t mean the noise is going away. The difference between reacting and investing is becoming more clear again. Short-term moves are still driven by headlines. Long-term performance is driven by fundamentals. Thatโ€™s where the focus should be. Copy Trading is not investment advice | Capital at risk | Past performance does not guarantee future results.

In celebration of taco Tuesday, I'll be having taco's! Trump's manipulation is becoming tiring, how are we supposed to invest in a professional manner, I guess it won't take long before the market will ignore it...

End of the month update.

March 28, 2026

Although I was expecting March to be our first +5ูช increase of the year, it seems that last week boycotted that expectation. Nevertheless March has been a volatile but interesting month and it has boosted my sentiment for the majority of our portfolio. Whatโ€™s important to highlight is that we havenโ€™t seen any major negative company-specific news across our positions. Most of the movement this month has been driven by broader market conditions and sentiment, not by deterioration in fundamentals. We saw strong momentum in $NIO , earnings expectation is increasing and sentiment is improving going into 2026. At the same time, some of our more speculative plays like $OUST and $SMR have been under pressure and $AEVA has seen some increasing volatility, but in the right direction. Thatโ€™s part of the game with emerging tech. The geopolitical tensions added some uncertainty to the markets. These situations tend to create short-term swings, but donโ€™t change the long-term thesis for the companies weโ€™re invested in. I do believe that we're almost at rock bottom, but we need stability in the middle east before we can be at ease, burning a candle for Trump's ego always helps. Going into April, the focus remains the same: - Stay patient - Stick to conviction plays (our companies are still pushing) - Avoid reacting to short-term noise - Weโ€™re positioned for growth, but expect continued volatility along the way.

This week $NIO reported it's Q4 2025 earnings and there are a few takeaways worth highlighting.

March 14, 2026

First, deliveries continue to grow strongly. The company delivered over 124k vehicles in the quarter, a major increase year-over-year. Growth in deliveries remains the main driver behind NIOโ€™s improving financials. Second, weโ€™re starting to see better margins (around 18% in Q4, which is high) and signs that the business model is scaling. For a long time the biggest concern around NIO was cash burn. The latest results show that as volumes increase, profitability becomes much more realistic. Third, management gave very strong guidance for 2026, expecting significant growth in both deliveries and revenue. That tells us demand for their newer models is still strong despite the intense EV competition in China. Of course, risks remain. The Chinese EV market is extremely competitive and price pressure across the sector continues. This will likely keep the stock volatile in the short term. In context of my portfolio, NIO remains a growth position in the portfolio, and the story still depends on execution, scaling production, and expanding internationally. With these results I can say that I'm very optimistic about the future of NIO and I'm curious how 2026 will go wrt to the stock price, I've got my price targets set. ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ธ ๐˜„๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—ก๐—œ๐—ข ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ?

Last week I mentioned that Iโ€™ve been looking closely at how AI is starting to change the IT industry, and why I decided to move back into payroll and stop freelancing.

March 12, 2026

$TEAM , the company behind tools like Jira and Confluence, announced it will cut around 10% of its workforce while restructuring the company around AI. I honestly think 10% is just the start for Atlassian, the IT industry is still figuring out what this transition actually means. Yes individual productivity increases a lot, but the bigger question is what happens to the entire software development cycle. For years weโ€™ve used frameworks like Agile and Scrum to keep development organized and predictable. If productivity suddenly multiplies, simply adding more tickets to a sprint wonโ€™t solve anything. The real change will likely happen at the planning level. Roadmaps that used to span 2โ€“3 years might shrink to 6 months or even less. Companies will be able to build, test and pivot much faster. That raises an interesting question: once organizations reach that speed, how will teams, planning cycles and product strategy adapt? This is something Iโ€™m paying close attention to when looking at tech companies. The winners will likely be the ones that rethink how they build software, not just the ones that add AI tools to their stack.

Today markets will likely be driven by geopolitics rather than company news. Tensions around Iran have pushed oil prices higher and typically lead to a short-term โ€œrisk-offโ€ sentiment, meaning higher volatility and more pressure on small cap growth stocks. For our portfolio this mainly affects short-term sentiment. Higher energy prices can actually strengthen our long-term themes such as electric vehicles and nuclear energy, which are represented by positions like NIO and $SMR . We will probably see some negative volatility today. Our strategy remains focused on long-term technological trends rather than reacting to daily geopolitical headlines. We just need to ride through the wave, let's hope this war doesn't last too long. ๐˜Š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜บ ๐˜›๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ท๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ฆ | ๐˜Š๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฌ | ๐˜—๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต ๐˜จ๐˜ถ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ง๐˜ถ๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ต๐˜ด.

Itโ€™s been quiet from my side lately for a reason.

March 3, 2026

Last Friday I officially stopped freelancing, I've ended my contract at $ATCO-A.ST and Iโ€™m preparing to start a new chapter at Telenet ( $LBTYA ). At the same time, Iโ€™ve been going deep into AI, not just experimenting, but actively embedding it into real development workflows. With the current generation of models, Iโ€™m convinced weโ€™ve entered a new phase, one that will fundamentally reshape IT jobs over the next years. The real impact isnโ€™t only in AI products, but in how companies build software: teams that integrate AI into their development process will move faster, operate leaner, and require fewer resources. Companies that move early will widen the gap, those that hesitate will struggle to catch up or will go bankrupt. Iโ€™m glad to see that $XYZ recognizes this shift, and I expect many others to follow, which will likely pressure traditional contracting models and thus impact me as a freelancer. Now, how does this affect our portfolio? Iโ€™m taking this thesis seriously. Iโ€™ll be looking closely at companies that donโ€™t just โ€œtalk AIโ€ but structurally adapt their operations around it. Iโ€™m curious how large IT consulting firms will react, considering that their revenue models are often built on billable hours and scale of manpower. What happens when clients need fewer hours? At the same time, Iโ€™m watching how FAANG evolves: will they use AI to aggressively compress costs and expand margins, will we see a creativity boost and a 100 new products or will we see big tech change into something new? Either way, productivity gains at scale can significantly impact valuations, margins, and competitive moats. Quick earnings thoughts on some names in our portfolio: $XYZ continues to show operational discipline and clear positioning in the AI-driven efficiency wave. $SMR remains a long-term infrastructure bet; volatility is high, but the structural energy narrative hasnโ€™t changed. $OUST is still in scaling mode, revenue traction matters more than short-term profitability at this stage, but a great Q4. $AEVA is also still on my good list. $PYPL has me questioning, do I buy more or should I dump everything, I think they are currently really cheap, but I'm not 100% convincedon their execution but lets see what the new CEO has to bring. So yeah that's a recap of how I see it, but let's see how this world at war continues... As long as the world is in this power hungry mode, productivity and collaboration is low, and if there's one thing I truly believe is that you go further together.

๐Ÿ“ข New addition to our portfolio $IEMA.L !

January 27, 2026

Iโ€™ve added $IEMA.L (iShares MSCI EM UCITS ETF USD Acc) to our portfolio this week. This ETF aims to track the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, meaning it invests across a broad set of companies in developing markets like China, India, Taiwan and South Korea. It gives exposure to growth in economies outside the traditional developed world. ๐Ÿ’ก What it is: IEMA.L is an accumulating equity ETF that reinvests dividends instead of paying them out. Itโ€™s physically replicating the index by holding most of the underlying stocks. ๐Ÿ’ธ TER: The total expense ratio is 0.18% p.a., which means the cost is low relative to many actively managed funds. ๐Ÿ“ˆ Why I like it for the next 5 years: โ€ข Diversification across emerging markets, which could benefit from faster economic expansion than developed markets. (Thanks Donald) โ€ข Low cost: keeping fees down helps performance compound over time. โ€ข Broad exposure: over a thousand companies in sectors like tech, finance and consumer goods. โ€ข Accumulating structure: dividends are reinvested, pushing more capital into the strategy. This fits my strategy of balanced growth and diversification, I consider this ETF as a satalite to the core of the profile. I'm expecting an average of 5% per year, but I'm hoping +10% p.a. for the next 3 years.
