Great Weekly, George. Love the PM style framing (process + portfolio behavior vs SPX, not just picks). CLS pullback breakdown was especially useful. Curious how you manage exposure , adds during index pullbacks , structured playbook or bottom-up tape-driven?

Thanks Andrew.

It is mainly bottom up. But I am keeping track of concentration per themes (AI supply chain, financials, gold…). In index pullbacks I only rebalance when prices get too disconnected. I don’t rebalance often as it needs to be a huge move. Last time it was during the tariff saga, I sent a trade alert to paid subscribers taking profit on a couple of names and doubling down on TSM. That rebalancing paid handsomely.

Oh and I forgot to mention I also track geographical concentration and as I have mentioned in previous weeklies, I am diversifying away from the US. I went from 80% US in 2024, to 65% as of the end of 2025 and I aim to have 35-45% US exposure in the next couple of years.
