- The user expresses frustration with portfolio underperformance despite holding high-quality mega-cap stocks and ETFs across various sectors. While acknowledging the current market dynamics favoring specific sectors like semis, the user has no intention to alter their strategy and anticipates election-related volatility. The post seeks advice on managing underperformance.
My portfolio mostly consists of high quality mega cap stocks and ETFs. It’s up +4% YTD. I have exposure to banks, waste management, credit cards, PE, software, semis, mega tech, and defensive areas like utilities, Costco and Berkshire.
I understand why I’m lagging but it sometimes can be frustrating seeing others like semis pumping days after days. I have no plan to alter my portfolio and chase anything. There will be volatility heading into the election for sure. Just want to see how others are dealing with underperformance.
