2025 is in the books, and it was both outstanding and unsatisfying.
If you had told me at the beginning of the year, the Asymmetric Portfolio would more than double the market's performance, I would have taken it.
But after being up 53% early in October, the final results feel unsatisfying.
The good news is, this is a long game. I'm happy to buy some of my favorite stocks 30-50% off their highs, and long-term, these compounding businesses will become compounding stocks.
Thank you to everyone who subscribes, and if you want to see the portfolio's performance, the linked article is free to view.
Bring on 2026!

I'm underperforming the market by a wide margin in 2026, and this is why:
"Revenue for these five companies is UP 23.8% over the past year (and should accelerate), and yet the average stock is DOWN 27.6% year to date."

Everyone should have investing frameworks.
My frameworks help save me from my biggest investing mistakes, like selling $CMG in 2008, selling $AAPL in 2010, and selling $MSFT in 2015. Do you sense a theme?

According to Cox Automotive, EV sales have dropped dramatically in the past 2 quarters (no surprise with the tax credit gone) in the U.S.
What's interesting is that $RIVN and $LCID are increasing supply in a market that's seeing demand destruction and interest rates are rising, putting further pressure on prices and demand.
Why would buyers suddenly have interest in these EVs when they're trending to ICE vehicles already?
It's a mix I wouldn't want to own.
Disclosure: Short $RIVN via long-term puts.
