$APO (-0.43%)

Apollo (NYSE: APO) and Bullrock Energy Ventures ("Bullrock") announced today that the funds managed by Apollo (the "Apollo Funds") have committed up to $220 million to a new joint venture partnership with Bullrock. The partnership involves a portfolio of community solar assets in New York and New England. USD 100 million of Apollo's equity commitment will finance the development of Bullrock's nearly 500 MW renewable energy pipeline.

Bullrock, based in Vermont, is a high-growth renewable energy company with operations throughout the Northeastern United States. The company's vertically integrated model includes procurement, underwriting, development, construction, financing and asset management. Under the leadership of Chairman and Founder Gregg Beldock, Bullrock and its partner company NxtGenREA, led by Mike Mills, have developed nearly 500 MW of solar projects in New England, New York and the Midwest over the past decade. The projects support residents and businesses across the country with access to affordable clean energy.

"We are excited to partner with Gregg and the Bullrock team and invest in this extensive portfolio of solar assets that we believe will provide significant benefits to surrounding communities," said Apollo Partner Corinne Still. "Community solar is an innovative solution to expand local access to clean, efficient electricity across the grid, benefiting individuals, homes and businesses alike. This partnership underscores Apollo's commitment as a leading investor to support the energy transition and invest in businesses and projects that meet the growing need for diverse energy sources."

My goal is to beat the market, I'm still relatively young and want to see if I can do it, if not I'll put everything in an etf in 5 years.

Regarding my portfolio, I currently have a cash ratio of 23-25% depending on the fluctuations in the last month.

Purchases of existing stocks:

I plan to increase the financial stocks by 50%, $CG (-1.29%)
$KKR (-0.97%)
$APO (-0.43%)
$TPG (-0.47%) .

In addition, a little $DMP (-0.43%) by 25%.

Sales:

I made the mistake of wanting to $EVO (-0.25%) and $CPRX (+1.57%) trade, but then I was too greedy.

I am convinced of both positions in the long term but not in this size in the portfolio, which is why I will reduce both stocks by 33%.

Potential purchases:

$HALO (+2.63%)
$CUV (-1.41%) - Will invest a little extra, otherwise just the 33% from sale of $CPRX. Both around 50 - 50

$SL (-0.49%) - the same as $TISG (-0.18%)

$KSPI (-2.22%) - about as high as $MUM (-0.53%)

$FIH.U (+0%) - about as high as $MUM (-0.53%)

$2GB (-1.44%) - about as high as $MUM (-0.53%)

$M12 (-5.01%) - about as high as $MUM (-0.53%)

$CPR (+1.48%)
$DGE (+0.56%)
$RI (+0.14%) - I'll wait and see, but I can imagine that they will develop in a similar way to the tobacco shares. Since I don't want to decide, I'll just buy three for the sum of one. And divide the amount between these 3.

In general:

I'm generally a fan of putting together baskets like with alcohol or the yacht builders.

What would you change because you see a high risk? I am relatively poorly positioned in the tech sector, do you have any other titles that I could take a closer look at in this area?
