Portfolio Review as of 22 Aug 21. Surviving the China Stock Crash

Image
 I am both relieved and humbled that my model portfolio has continued to outperform S&P500. It is up 20.11% from 23 March 2021. Against 16.14% for S&P500, Vanguard World Stocks with 10.51% and Hong Kong Tracker -10.27%.  I added an inverse 3x China ETF, YANG in view of the declining trend, plus 3x Emerging Market inverse ETF, EDZ.

Stock picking plays a huge part and I focus exclusively on investing in stocks with ...
