Glamour and anxiety

As a blogger, this year has probably been my laziest year. I feel that inspiration will be back one day or another but, so far, I feel like I don't have anything to say. 

2023 has been a very good year on the investment level. My portfolio's performance has been so far almost 150% superior to the performance of S&P500. But the year isn't over yet and anything could happen. 

This year, I've diversified my portfolio. I used to own a lot of big positions in big tech names (Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft..) but I felt that it became too concentrated on a single sector so I bought some other kind of companies like Grainger and Parker Hannifin, both great companies in the industrial sector. And I feel like it's been a good idea because these new stocks did well and made my portfolio more balanced. 

I've reached a very important milestone in november with my portfolio. That level was for me the official "anything could happen now, I'd be safe financially".  And now, I feel like all my earnings related to my job can be spent because saving them doesn't make a big difference. 

To manage to get there, I have to declare that I drive the same car since 2010. Very little glamour but very little financial anxiety too.
