The tech and futures sector is going through a bit of a rough patch again. Fluctuations, setbacks, uncertainty. And this despite the fact that nothing bad has actually happened fundamentally: no disasters in the quarterly figures, no new escalation with China, etc. Nevertheless, many have doubts about the sometimes high valuations - especially in the AI sector. The Fear & Greed Index currently stands at "extreme fear" - exactly the point at which many are getting shaky.

In my wikifolio "Next Level Era", I am of course also noticing this volatility - after all, it is also geared towards innovation, tech and disruption. The $ alone$IREN (-9.76%) alone was still up over 1100 % at the beginning of the week - it's clear that there will be some profit-taking. This is simply part and parcel of such hot stocks. Nevertheless, I still see potential there (and in the AI sector in general), especially after the last quarterly report. but of course: strong performance usually correlates with high volatility.

A healthy balance helps to ensure that this doesn't get on my nerves too much: a basic portfolio of solid stocks - although there can also be significant returns - this year, for example, banks, insurance companies such as $RBI (+0.36%) , $UQA (-0.15%) or $UCG (-0.93%) nice dividends and +50% YTD (better than some of my growth stocks). Some ETFs such as $CS1 (-0.23%) or gold have done well - and at the same time bring calm.

But of course - more exciting are the risky parts, the 10x or 100x candidates that we all like to talk about here 😄. Nevertheless, I wanted to mention the part of asset accumulation that focuses on stability, because it feels like we're only talking about the hot stocks. So let's hear it, what are your favorite boring stocks in your portfolio :-)
