Bio

Medium and long term, in companies with solid fundamentals.

This is the strategy stated on the eToro profile, rewritten here without the promotional part. The original profile text remains the source, in English.

I invest my own capital over the medium and long term, in companies with solid fundamentals and an advantage that does not depend on a single quarter. The main market is the American one.

  • HorizonMedium and long term. I do not build the portfolio around one quarter.
  • What I look forCompanies with solid accounts, a competitive advantage, and a price that is not already expensive against the hypotheses I can write down.
  • How I enterValue comes first. The chart comes afterwards, as a secondary tool. A swing stays a slice, not the centre.
  • RiskMany lines, small weights, leverage at zero. I do not use leverage. The public risk score is 4 out of 10.
  • ComparisonThe aim stated on the profile is to do better than the S&P 500 over time. It is an aim, not a result that is owed.

This is not personalised advice and not the management of third-party capital. Anyone who copies does so on their own eToro account.

Total gain

+80.76%

From the start of 2020 to today. Compounded on the public annual series, in percentage terms only. 2026 is still partial. The −30.24% of 2022 stays inside the path, not outside it.

Starting index 100. Each point is a year-end; the last is today.

The criterion

Three rules, no promise.

  1. 01

    Value before price

    I do not enter what I already judge expensive. The estimate is a written hypothesis, not a magic price.

  2. 02

    Many lines, small weights

    The November 2026 snapshot counts 61 instruments. No single position decides the year on its own.

  3. 03

    Legible risk

    Risk score 4. Leverage at zero: I do not use it. Drawdown remains possible, and it remains in the table.

Annual series

The year in the red, too.

From 2020 to partial 2026, the compound figure for the annual series is +80.76%. The −30.24% of 2022 is inside it. It is not a footnote.

Copy trading

Copying is done on eToro. Not here.

How it works

Long horizon

Copy all positions

This is the mode indicated on the profile for anyone who wants the composition already built. You inherit the current weights, with the good and the bad of prices already travelled.

Shorter horizon

Copy only the new ones

You enter trades opened from that moment, without the pre-existing portfolio. It is not more prudent by definition: it is only another exposure.

News

On the method and the public numbers.

All the news

Method

The price comes later

On the eToro profile the criterion is written plainly: no positions in shares already judged expensive. Here is the sense of that sentence, without turning it into a recipe.

Portfolio

Sixty-one lines, none in command

As at 5 November 2026 the public snapshot counts 61 instruments, and cash at zero. The top twelve positions weigh about half. The rest is made of small lines.

Risk

What I am saying when I say risk 4

The public risk score is 4 out of 10. Over the two-year window the daily maximum observed in the summary is 5. It is not a safety certificate. It is a scale of the platform.
