It's looking good so far—if you were to reduce the number now, it would only be 13x instead of 27x to reach a million :-) I'm also right on track at the moment. More on that in my monthly update.......In the two months since I’ve also been running a Global Momentum model, it has significantly outperformed the US Momentum Leaders. I’m curious to see when the tables will turn.....

@Krush82 You might be right about narrowing the focus. But I have a good feeling about my approach, and that’s what you need to invest significant amounts of money. Just like you did.
I’m a little glad that I was able to inspire you a bit to take a global approach, too!
You were a huge inspiration to me in launching this satellite.
In fact, YOU were THE inspiration.
Let’s see how the next few months go… 😊

@Wealth-Accelerator The "feel-good" factor plays a huge and important role in this type of investment or strategy implementation—and even more so as the portfolio value grows. Whether it’s a highly concentrated approach (1–2 stocks) or, like you, a handful more stocks. To me, these are just numbers on a screen that I can’t touch. I try to stick with it for as long as possible. Over the years, I’ve contributed just under 15k and, as of this moment, have already more than quadrupled that amount. Oh, and I’d thought about the global momentum strategy before, but never really followed through due to a lack of backtest data. After talking with you and a few others, I just went ahead and started in May with a weighting of about 33%, and I’m currently at around 40%.

•@Krush82 I’ve now put in 19,500, and it’s nearly doubled. But I won’t be putting in much more than that. It’s similar to your situation. It can run on its own now, and at the end of the day, to me, they’re “just numbers on a screen” because they don’t change my daily life in the here and now at all.
Still, seeing the fluctuations affects me emotionally. The way it shoots up… I haven’t gotten used to that yet. But the same goes for my core ETF. It also fluctuates immensely in absolute terms, and when you’re barely making any monthly income due to parental leave (like I am right now), it’s pretty intense to experience those five-figure monthly swings….
Just a side note:
If my satellite portfolio breaks the 100k mark, I’ll consider withdrawing 4% p.a. and reallocating it to my core portfolio.
But as of now, that’s just a thought.

@Wealth-Accelerator I know all too well about those fluctuations and how they affect you emotionally. At some point, it just stopped after the daily volatility in euros hit the four-digit range. There’s certainly no reason not to put your 4% into the core portfolio once the target size is reached. Since my momentum strategies make up the core of my portfolio, I won’t be making any such reallocations for now.

•@Krush82 Definitely a positive aspect of the habituation effect 👍🏼
••
@Krush82 But your Global Momentum model isn't available on Wiki, is it? Is that planned for the future?
••
@Multibagger See his update. It's been running as a Wikifolio since mid-May, but isn't tradable yet.
