September is traditionally a tricky month for markets, so I went defensive at the end of August โ rotating into names such as $PEP (+0.43%)
$UNH (+2.75%)
$CTAS (-0.45%) Pool, and adding quality European exposures like $ASML (+0.54%) and $ITX (+1.08%) . My wanted to protect capital through a seasonally weak month for tech and speculative stocks.
Despite widespread expectations for a pullback, the US equity market kept moving higher in September:
S&P 500: +3.6% in September
๐น My performance (September 2025): +2.04% for the month โ not bad given my defensive tilt. That brings my YTD gain to +60%,
Looking to October: repositioning into value & beaten-down opportunities.
October has started on a stronger note for me. Already with almost 4% profir. Companies like$ABSI
$CAN (+7.51%) and $BMNR (+2.09%) These are higher-risk, higher-reward trades that complement the defensive core I built in late August and some at end ir september. Like GIS, ABNB, Starbucks
