Panic Drop Podcast

Hey everyone, I just wrapped up my year end portfolio analysis and wanted to share the full picture with you, the wins, the losses, and everything I learned along the way.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬

The portfolio is currently up 9.29% with a portfolio allocation of 90% stocks, 7.3% commodities ETFs (gold, silver, palladium), and 2% crypto. Normally I run higher crypto exposure, but I reduced my allocation as Bitcoin turned bearish.

𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬

My best trades this year were Solana, Palantir where I took profits, Bitcoin, Google, and Ethereum. These really carried the portfolio. On the holdings side, Booking is still up 200%, Palantir continues to perform, and Google hit over 10% allocation so I trimmed it back. Nvidia remains a core position because compared to the rest of the Mag 7, it’s actually not that overvalued. Meta took a big drop but I added more, and that position is still up 120%.

The commodities trade was massive. Gold up 28%, silver nearly 73%, and palladium up 42%. This was the right move when I reallocated capital away from underperforming crypto.

𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬

Let’s be honest, my altcoin trades were rough. XRP, Radium, and Cardano all ended up as losers. I was too deterministic about 2025 being a bullish altcoin year and that thesis didn’t play out. I also cut my loss on Estée Lauder and moved that capital into commodities, which turned out to be the right decision.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭

* Long on tech stocks and taking profits on winners when they got overweight.

* Shifting from crypto into commodities when the trend wasn’t working.

* Adding to healthcare when it was undervalued versus the S&P, that trade has recovered nicely.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫

I was too confident that 2025 would be a powerful year for crypto and took big altcoin positions when it wasn't the right time. I should have stayed longer in Bitcoin instead of rotating into alts early. During the recent crash, I was expecting a bounce and tried to trade it, but sometimes doing nothing is better.

𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔

I’m going more defensive heading into next year. I’ve trimmed some tech positions and added consumer staples like PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, and Procter & Gamble. These are currently very undervalued versus the S&P, same setup as healthcare was earlier this year.

Losing positions I’m holding:

* UNH despite the short term noise (Warren Buffett added too)

* Adobe even though it’s one of my most down positions (AI fears are overblown, their moat remains strong)

For crypto, if we’re heading into a bear market, I expect the bottom somewhere mid to late 2026. That’s when I’ll add allocation again. For now, I’m holding a small Bitcoin position and watching Ethereum closely as it could decouple from Bitcoin.

I’m expecting a Q1 correction, not trying to time it, just positioning more defensively while staying fully invested. That’s always been my approach: patient, evidence based, and willing to admit when I’m wrong.

What trades defined your 2025? Let me know in the comments.

Thanks for reading!
