The best time to start copying is often now, provided you approach it with a long-term investment mindset.

My strategy is built on a long-term mindset. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you plan to keep your funds invested for a minimum of 5 years. For some specific growth stocks within the portfolio, my target timeframe extends even further, potentially up to 10 years or more, to allow their full potential to materialize.

Holding a cash position within the portfolio is a deliberate strategic decision. There are several reasons for this, including:

• Anticipating Market Downturns: Cash provides flexibility to capitalize on opportunities during market corrections or dips, allowing for purchases at potentially lower prices.

• Swing Trading: I may utilize a portion of the cash for short-term swing trading opportunities, aiming to generate additional returns or reduce cost basis during periods of market weakness or volatility.

• Strategic Allocation: It ensures liquidity and the ability to act quickly on emerging investment opportunities without needing to sell existing positions.

You will see a detailed breakdown of the positions currently held in your copied portfolio. You can then compare these holdings and their proportional allocations with my public profile on eToro to ensure they align.

No, that is not necessary. When you copy my portfolio using eToro's CopyTrader™ system, all trading actions – including opening new positions, closing existing ones, and adjusting Stop Loss/Take Profit orders – are automatically replicated in your account proportionally. You do not need to manually intervene in these operations.

When you copy my portfolio, you automatically share the same underlying positions. If any stocks or ETFs within the portfolio issue dividends, eToro automatically processes and pays these dividends directly to your available balance. This happens without any additional action required from your side.

The "best" strategy depends entirely on your personal financial situation, risk tolerance, and current market outlook.

• Lump Sum Investing: Historically, in upward trending markets, investing a lump sum at once has often led to higher overall gains due to more capital being exposed to growth for longer. However, this strategy carries higher short-term risk if the market experiences a significant downturn immediately after your investment.

• Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) / Monthly Deposits: This involves investing a fixed amount of money at regular intervals (e.g., monthly), regardless of market fluctuations. DCA can help mitigate the risk associated with market timing, as you buy more shares when prices are low and fewer when prices are high, potentially resulting in a lower average purchase price over time. It also fosters disciplined investing habits.

  
  

If you have a lower risk tolerance or are concerned about current market volatility, dollar-cost averaging through monthly deposits is generally a more conservative and less emotionally taxing approach for long-term investing.

Yes, it is generally recommended to add funds on a monthly or regular basis if you are investing for the long-term (meaning at least 5 years). This practice aligns with the dollar-cost averaging strategy, which can help smooth out the impact of market volatility and potentially lead to better long-term returns by consistently investing over time, regardless of market highs or lows. It also allows for the power of compounding to work more effectively.

The risk score for this portfolio is expected to fluctuate between 4 and 6 on eToro's risk scale. This indicates a moderate risk level, which can experience some volatility.
