2024 Year In Review.................. International ETF Portfolio (Cash grew 38% during the year) *Tom's 10 Stock IRA Portfolio* (Cash grew 8% after RMD withdrawals) U.S. Business Sector ETF Composite Portfolio (Invesco Equal Weight Sector ETFs) (Cash grew 73% during 2024) *IRA (converted from Twinvest to AIM 12 months ago)* (Cash increased 41% during 2024 even with the RMD withdrawal) Overall, considering the situation of each portfolio's goals, things went pretty well. International did okay considering the economics of the ex-US markets along with the ongoing Putin/Ukraine situation. Since "growth" was in vogue during most of the year, my position in Vanguard's VUG in my IRA did quite well and helped boost the cash reserves there along the way. There was some sector rotation in the U.S. Business Sector portfolio with mostly selling but some buying during the year. In most of these portfolios the total cash rose and the percentage cash also rose during the year. That will help my sleep during 2025! Best wishes for the New Year, OAG Tom Buy from the Scared; Sell to the Greedy.....
