As in, within a couple hundred dollars of it. Could still nosedive, and the markets will definitely trend down as people do tax-loss-harvesting, but it has been a very good year.
Beat the S&P and NASDAQ 100 for the fifth year in a row and sixth year out of seven.

The portfolio I manage myself beat the S&P, not the NAS. I would have but for the tariff fuqery - it caused me to abandon some great positions. But still, beating the S&P is better than what my money manager did
I think the Mag 7 will really take off in '26 as productivity gains become clear. Meta and MSFT are a gift right now.

I think I recommended at the time of the Trump Crash that you not react. I only sold 2% of my portfolio, and that was shyt that was resilient--IOW, I sold what I needed for cash, and didn't take a hit.
I haven't done proper attribution analysis, but my outperformance is in large part from PLTR, GEV and CAT, with APLD going nuts, but in a relatively small position (Gxd-fxcking-damnit).

I had a large position in small cap - at the time, a tariff war would have decimated that position. Of course the Russ2k rebounded

I have 2/3 QQQ and 1/3 SPY. I've made $8MM+ this year before tax. I only have 1 stock other than that, GOOGL. I bought it for like 300K and it is 1.5 million now after cashing out 400K this year to buy something.
And most of my money isn't in the market.

Not my gameb. I don't follow the Russ. My smallest capitalization stock is DKS, which is not all that small.

It was a rate play - lower rates, Russ moons.

Suggests about $40m in the market, if my back of the envelope is correct.
