📊 - I recently shifted my portfolio from defensive stocks like $PEP $KO and $HSY into technology stocks, specifically Amazon, Datadog and Microsoft. This move aims to take advantage of the recent tech sector pullback and position for a potential rebound.

📉 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 – 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱

Since the start of the year, the Nasdaq has dropped approximately -9.5% and the S&P 500 is down around -4.5%, with most of the decline occurring from mid-February to March 10. My portfolio its still 6.70% ytd

📉 𝗠𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 – 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱

Currently, my portfolio is down -3.26% this month, but I’m still outperforming the broader indices, which have experienced deeper declines. Nasdaq -7% and SP500 -5.70%

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗚𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱

I see this market correction as a buying opportunity in tech. With patience and a long-term vision, I expect this strategic shift to drive a strong recovery into the end of March.

💬 How are you positioning yourself during this tech sell-off?

Buying? Selling or waiting?

My portfolio achieved a 6.74% growth in February, bringing my year-to-date return to 10.29%. This performance stands in contrast to the broader market, where the $SP500 with 1,46% and the $NSDQ100 2,25% drop over the same period. 

Anticipating a modest rebound in the technology sector, I initiated positions aT $DDOG (-2,2%) and $MSFT (-0,18%)

February presented a mixed bag for investors. While the end of the month saw a rally, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq each gaining near 1.6% on February 28, these gains were insufficient to offset earlier losses. The S&P 500 ended the month down 0,67%, and the Nasdaq declined by 2,81%. 

This underscores the importance of a disciplined investment approach, combining fundamental analysis with strategic positioning to navigate market volatility effectively.
