Market downturn, some thoughts on current holdings. 80%+ of the portfolio is in three stocks. The main consideration is not to go all in on Chinese concept stocks, so I started adjusting my U.S. stock positions last year, preferring stable stocks with lower volatility in different sectors: technology, consumer, and energy. The stocks one holds can reflect their personality. The stocks below are destined to miss out on big rallies but have also avoided many big drops.

1 $Alibaba(BABA.US)

2 $Coca Cola(KO.US)

3 $Occidental Petroleum(OXY.US)

10%+ is exploratory holdings, about 20-30 stocks, with many new attempts, resulting in negative returns.

1 $IShares Ethereum Trust ETF(ETHA.US)$iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF(IBIT.US)$Circle(CRCL.US)Bitcoin and Ethereum have fallen a lot, and Circle was also bought at a high. Although I've been using USDC quite well recently, the drop is still frustrating.

2 The healthcare sector holds $Novo Nordisk AS(NVO.US)$EDGE MEDICAL-B(02675.HK)$INSILICO(03696.HK). I'm optimistic about this industry, but I find it requires even more patience.

3 $Futu(FUTU.US)$Robinhood(HOOD.US)$UP Fintech(TIGR.US) are also held in small amounts. They don't feel great, but I hold them because I'm a user. Of course, the most frustrating one is $LexinFintech(LX.US), as shown below. Back then, I thought Orange Financial was good, and I was a loyal user. I bought at a low, but unfortunately, it was halfway up the mountain.

In summary, the ups and downs of stocks can cause significant emotional fluctuations and lead to irrational actions. It's hard for anyone to avoid, and I'm no exception. So my current takeaway is to concentrate the main funds on a few stocks I'm bullish on long-term and channel the desire to trade impulsively into a small portion of the capital, allowing myself to buy many stocks as I please. Of course, risk isolation across multiple brokerage accounts is also essential.
