Internacional Golden Butterfly core portfolio

I’ve been pretty much all-in on tech and growth since 2020, and honestly it’s worked out way better than I expected.

The idea I keep coming back to is basically an international take on the Golden Butterfly: 40% VT 20% SHY 20% TLT 20% GLD Curious what you guys think. Am I overthinking it after a great run, or does this make sense? submitted by /u/hill

Getting rid of NVDA or AVGO (Broadcom)?

Hi everyone, I'm holding both NVDA and AVGO stock and am looking to derisk given the uncertainty/possibility of an AI bubble bursting and the fact that I'm holding multiple AI-focused stocks at once.
