I've always been transparent with my barbell trading and investment structure:
~50% in safer, long-term holds, including treasuries/ETFs (like $SGOV, $VT, $VTI), and more established mega caps (like $AMD, $SNDK, $NVDA).
Compounds steadily and lets me ride the broader supercycle with much lower volatility.
The other ~50% goes into swinging trending themes (short-term), like Space, Neocloud, and more.
These are catalyst-driven setups with asymmetric risk/reward. This is where most of the upside lives, but also most of the volatility.
Definitely not a universal formula, but larger portfolios should lean heavier on the safer side (at mid 9-figures, capital preservation matters more IMO).
While smaller portfolios should lean heavier on the asymmetric side (higher risk, much higher reward).
As usual, NFA. Just my opinion.
