【NEWS EVENT】

The U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) just disclosed that President Donald Trump executed over 21,000 securities trades in 2025, with a total value between $600 million and $1.86 billion. Trump's team claims these assets are independently managed by third-party institutions through "automated, model-based portfolios," placing them in a so-called "blind trust."

Trump averaged 85 trades per market day in 2025, with a net purchase of approximately 300million in U.S. stocks for the full year. His holdings are heavily concentrated inTechnology( $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ , $Microsoft(MSFT)$ , $Apple(AAPL)$ , $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ , $Intel(INTC)$ ) and Financials ( $Goldman Sachs(GS)$ ), operating across 8 separate accounts simultaneously.

OGE filings also show that on January 6, 2025, Trump purchased up to 1 millionin $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ stock. One week later, his administration loosened chip export controls to China. $NVDA surged. On that same day, he also bought $1M–5 Meachin $Microsoft(MSFT)$ , $Broadcom(AVGO)$ , and other tech names.

【THINKING 1】 Setting aside the ethics debate, the data itself is highly educational:

  • 1️⃣ Concentration beats Diversification: Over 70% of his portfolio is in Tech + Financials — a clear bet on the AI cycle and the financial sector's trajectory.

  • 2️⃣ Buying Into Volatility: 25% of all trades were clustered into just 10 days — all during periods of heightened market volatility. This suggests he treats policy uncertainty as a buying opportunity.

  • 3️⃣ Net Buyer Mindset: With ~$300M in net U.S. stock purchases for the year, he's accumulating — not panic-selling.

  • 4️⃣ Multi-Account Strategy: 8 accounts could indicate tax-loss harvesting, risk isolation, or rebalancing across custodians.

Which of these strategies are YOU already using? Which ones do you think are worth borrowing?

【THINKING 2】 If the person who knows policy direction better than anyone is putting 70%+ of his money into AI and Financials, that's a powerful signal in itself.

H2 2026 Outlook: → The AI infrastructure investment cycle is far from over (data centers, CPO, memory chips) → The Fed's policy path remains uncertain, and financials stand to benefit from the rate environment → But concentration risk is real — a single-sector pullback could devastate the portfolio

The question is: When "policy alpha" and "valuation bubble" exist at the same time, which side do you choose?

【POLL 1】 For H2 2026, will you follow Trump's sector allocation?

🔘 A. Yes — AI + Financials is still the main theme. I'm going heavy.

🔘 B. I'll reference it but reduce concentration and add defensive positions.

🔘 C. No — his informational edge is something I can't replicate.

🔘 D. I only buy indices. No individual stock bets. 🎯

    I'm leaning toward B. I agree AI and Financials remain two of the strongest long-term themes, but I wouldn't mirror someone else's concentrated portfolio. I continue adding to AI infrastructure names during pullbacks because I believe the demand for compute, memory, networking, and enterprise AI is still in its early stages. At the same time, I prefer managing risk through diversification.

    One strategy I already use is buying into volatility. When quality companies correct without a major change in fundamentals, I see it as an opportunity to average up or DCA into my highest-conviction positions. Volatility often creates attractive entry points for long-term investors.

    In the end, I don't invest based on who is buying. I focus on business quality, earnings growth, valuation, and long-term trends. Trump's allocation is an interesting signal, but I still rely on a disciplined investment process that I can stick with in any market.

    🌟🌟🌟I choose a combination of Choice B and Choice D.  In fact, I believe that this is one of the most successful strategies in the world.  I call it the Core and Satellite investment model.

    By blending both choices, I create a portfolio that gives me the best of both worlds: the unshakeable safety of broad based index funds wrapped around a few high performing individual stocks.

    Choice D: This is the core of my portfolio which I will invest in $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPYM)$ which tracks the best 500 stocks in the US and $SS SPDR STI ETF(ES3.SI)$ which covers exposure to Singapore's best 30 blue chip companies.

    Choice B: My Satellite Portfolio.  I will put about 20% to take a tactical bet on companies that are riding massive macro trends.

    These include $DBS(D05.SI)$ as it is the top bank in Singapore & the South East Asia region, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ the best all rounder AI stock.

    With B & D, I have the best of both worlds.

    如果是我,下半年会选择B。我依然看好AI和金融,但不会把仓位过度集中。我会保留核心仓位继续持有AI龙头,同时适当配置现金流稳定、防御性较强的公司,让投资组合在享受成长机会的同时,也能抵御估值回调带来的波动。我始终认为,长期赚钱靠的是纪律和资产配置,而不是押中一次热点。

    我反而比较认同他的另一点——敢在市场波动时持续净买入。很多投资者上涨时追高、下跌时恐慌卖出,而真正创造长期回报的,往往是在市场情绪最悲观的时候慢慢累积优质资产。

    不过,我不会因为他的持仓就完全照抄。毕竟特朗普拥有普通投资者无法拥有的信息环境和政策影响力,我们复制的是行业逻辑,而不是交易时点。即使长期方向正确,估值过高时追进去,同样可能承受不小回撤。
