During the late 1980s, nearly a third of the nation’s savings and loan associations failed, ending with a taxpayer bailout — in 2021 terms — of about $265 billion.</p>\n<p>In 1997-1998, financial crises in Asia and Russia led to the near meltdown of the largest hedge fund in the U.S. —Long-Term Capital Management(LTCM). Its reach and operating practices were such that Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said that when LTCM failed, “he had never seen anything in his lifetime that compared to the terror” he felt. LTCM was deemed “too big to fail,” and he engineered a bailout by 14 major U.S. financial institutions.</p>\n<p>Exactly a decade later, too much leverage by some of those very institutions, and the bursting of a U.S. real estate bubble, led to the near collapse of the U.S. financial system. Once again, big banks were deemed too big to fail and taxpayers came to the rescue.</p>\n<p>The trend? Every 10 years or so, and they all look different.&nbsp;Are we in the early stages of a new crisis now, with the blowup at the family office Archegos Capital Management LP?</p>\n<p>A family office, for the uninitiated, is a private wealth management vehicle for the ultra-wealthy. Here’s what I mean by ultra-wealthy: Consulting firm EY estimates there are some 10,000 family offices globally, but manage, says a separate estimate by market research firm Campden Research, nearly $6 trillion. That $6 trillion is likely far higher now given that it’s based on 2019 data.</p>\n<p><b>Unregulated money managers</b></p>\n<p>Here’s the potential danger. Family offices generally aren’t regulated. The 1940 Investment Advisers Act says firms with 15 clients or fewer don’t have to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission. What this means is that trillions of dollars are in play and no one can really say who’s running the money, what it’s invested in, how much leverage is being used, and what kind of counterparty risk may exist. (Counterparty risk is the probability that one party involved in a financial transaction could default on a contractual obligation to someone else.)</p>\n<p>This appears to be the case with Archegos. The firm bet heavily on certain Chinese stocks, including e-commerce player&nbsp;Vipshop Holdings&nbsp;Ltd.VIPS,-1.19%,U.S.-listed Chinese tutoring company&nbsp;GSX Techedu&nbsp;Inc.GSX,-10.63%and U.S. media companiesViacomCBS&nbsp;Inc.VIAC,-3.90%and&nbsp;Discovery&nbsp;Inc.DISCA,-3.86%,among others. Share prices have tumbled lately, sparking large sales — some $30 billion — by Archegos.</p>\n<p>The problem is that only about a third of that, or $10 billion, was its own money. We now know that Archegos worked with some of the biggest names on Wall Street, including&nbsp;Credit Suisse Group AGCS,+1.59%,UBS Group AGUBS,+1.01%,Goldman Sachs Group Inc.GS,-1.25%,&nbsp;Morgan StanleyMS,-0.28%,Deutsche Bank AGDB,+0.74%and Nomura Holdings Inc.&nbsp;NMR,+1.87%.</p>\n<p>But since family offices are largely allowed to operate unregulated, who’s to say how much money is really involved here and what the extent of market risk is? My colleague Mark DeCambre&nbsp;reported last week that Archegos’ true exposures to bad trades could actuallybe closer to $100 billion.</p>\n<p><b>Danger of counterparty risk</b></p>\n<p>This is where counterparty risk comes in. As Archegos’ bets went south, the above banks — looking at losses of their own — hit the firm with margin calls. Deutsche quickly dumped about $4 billion in holdings, while Goldman and Morgan Stanley are also said to have unwound their positions, perhaps limiting their downside.</p>\n<p>So is this a financial crisis? It doesn’t appear to be. Even so, the Securities and Exchange Commission has opened a preliminary investigation into Archegos and its founder, Bill Hwang.</p>\n<p>One peer, Tom Lee, the research chief of Fundstrat Global Advisors, calls Hwang one of the “top 10 of the best investment minds” he knows.</p>\n<p>But federal regulators may have a lesser opinion. In 2012, Hwang’s former hedge fund, Tiger Asia Management, pleaded guilty and paid more than $60 million in penalties after it was accused of trading on illegal tips about Chinese banks. The SEC banned Hwang from managing money on behalf of clients — essentially booting him from the hedge fund industry. So Hwang opened Archegos, and again, family offices aren’t generally aren’t regulated.</p>\n<p><b>Yellen on the case</b></p>\n<p>This issue is on Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s radar. She said last week that greater oversight of these private corners of the financial industry is needed. The Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), which she oversees, has revived a task force to help agencies better “share data, identify risks and work to strengthen our financial system.”</p>\n<p>Most financial crises end up with American taxpayers getting stuck with the tab. Gains belong to the risk-takers. But losses — they belong to us. To paraphrase Abe Lincoln, family offices — a multi-trillion dollar industry largely allowed to operate in the shadows in a global financial system that is more intertwined than ever — are of the super-wealthy, by the super-wealthy and for the super-wealthy. And no one else.</p>\n<p>The Archegos collapse may or may not be the beginning of yet another financial crisis. But who’s to say what thousands of other family offices are doing with their trillions, and whether similar problems could blow up?</p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Opinion: Financial crises get triggered about every 10 years — Archegos might be right on time</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nOpinion: Financial crises get triggered about every 10 years — Archegos might be right on time\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-06 09:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/financial-crises-happen-about-every-10-years-which-makes-the-archegos-meltdown-unnerving-11617634942?mod=home-page><strong>marketwatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>No one, for now, can say for sure that the so-called family office’s billions in investment losses won’t spread.\n\nFinancial crises are never quite the same.

During the late 1980s, nearly a third of the nation’s savings and loan associations failed, ending with a taxpayer bailout — in 2021 terms — of about $265 billion.</p>\n<p>In 1997-1998, financial crises in Asia and Russia led to the near meltdown of the largest hedge fund in the U.S. —Long-Term Capital Management(LTCM). Its reach and operating practices were such that Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said that when LTCM failed, “he had never seen anything in his lifetime that compared to the terror” he felt. LTCM was deemed “too big to fail,” and he engineered a bailout by 14 major U.S. financial institutions.</p>\n<p>Exactly a decade later, too much leverage by some of those very institutions, and the bursting of a U.S. real estate bubble, led to the near collapse of the U.S. financial system. Once again, big banks were deemed too big to fail and taxpayers came to the rescue.</p>\n<p>The trend? Every 10 years or so, and they all look different.&nbsp;Are we in the early stages of a new crisis now, with the blowup at the family office Archegos Capital Management LP?</p>\n<p>A family office, for the uninitiated, is a private wealth management vehicle for the ultra-wealthy. Here’s what I mean by ultra-wealthy: Consulting firm EY estimates there are some 10,000 family offices globally, but manage, says a separate estimate by market research firm Campden Research, nearly $6 trillion. That $6 trillion is likely far higher now given that it’s based on 2019 data.</p>\n<p><b>Unregulated money managers</b></p>\n<p>Here’s the potential danger. Family offices generally aren’t regulated. The 1940 Investment Advisers Act says firms with 15 clients or fewer don’t have to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission. What this means is that trillions of dollars are in play and no one can really say who’s running the money, what it’s invested in, how much leverage is being used, and what kind of counterparty risk may exist. (Counterparty risk is the probability that one party involved in a financial transaction could default on a contractual obligation to someone else.)</p>\n<p>This appears to be the case with Archegos. The firm bet heavily on certain Chinese stocks, including e-commerce player&nbsp;Vipshop Holdings&nbsp;Ltd.VIPS,-1.19%,U.S.-listed Chinese tutoring company&nbsp;GSX Techedu&nbsp;Inc.GSX,-10.63%and U.S. media companiesViacomCBS&nbsp;Inc.VIAC,-3.90%and&nbsp;Discovery&nbsp;Inc.DISCA,-3.86%,among others. Share prices have tumbled lately, sparking large sales — some $30 billion — by Archegos.</p>\n<p>The problem is that only about a third of that, or $10 billion, was its own money. We now know that Archegos worked with some of the biggest names on Wall Street, including&nbsp;Credit Suisse Group AGCS,+1.59%,UBS Group AGUBS,+1.01%,Goldman Sachs Group Inc.GS,-1.25%,&nbsp;Morgan StanleyMS,-0.28%,Deutsche Bank AGDB,+0.74%and Nomura Holdings Inc.&nbsp;NMR,+1.87%.</p>\n<p>But since family offices are largely allowed to operate unregulated, who’s to say how much money is really involved here and what the extent of market risk is? My colleague Mark DeCambre&nbsp;reported last week that Archegos’ true exposures to bad trades could actuallybe closer to $100 billion.</p>\n<p><b>Danger of counterparty risk</b></p>\n<p>This is where counterparty risk comes in. As Archegos’ bets went south, the above banks — looking at losses of their own — hit the firm with margin calls. Deutsche quickly dumped about $4 billion in holdings, while Goldman and Morgan Stanley are also said to have unwound their positions, perhaps limiting their downside.</p>\n<p>So is this a financial crisis? It doesn’t appear to be. Even so, the Securities and Exchange Commission has opened a preliminary investigation into Archegos and its founder, Bill Hwang.</p>\n<p>One peer, Tom Lee, the research chief of Fundstrat Global Advisors, calls Hwang one of the “top 10 of the best investment minds” he knows.</p>\n<p>But federal regulators may have a lesser opinion. In 2012, Hwang’s former hedge fund, Tiger Asia Management, pleaded guilty and paid more than $60 million in penalties after it was accused of trading on illegal tips about Chinese banks. The SEC banned Hwang from managing money on behalf of clients — essentially booting him from the hedge fund industry. So Hwang opened Archegos, and again, family offices aren’t generally aren’t regulated.</p>\n<p><b>Yellen on the case</b></p>\n<p>This issue is on Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s radar. She said last week that greater oversight of these private corners of the financial industry is needed. The Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), which she oversees, has revived a task force to help agencies better “share data, identify risks and work to strengthen our financial system.”</p>\n<p>Most financial crises end up with American taxpayers getting stuck with the tab. Gains belong to the risk-takers. But losses — they belong to us. To paraphrase Abe Lincoln, family offices — a multi-trillion dollar industry largely allowed to operate in the shadows in a global financial system that is more intertwined than ever — are of the super-wealthy, by the super-wealthy and for the super-wealthy. And no one else.</p>\n<p>The Archegos collapse may or may not be the beginning of yet another financial crisis.

During the late 1980s, nearly a third of the nation’s savings and loan associations failed, ending with a taxpayer bailout — in 2021 terms — of about $265 billion.\nIn 1997-1998, financial crises in Asia and Russia led to the near meltdown of the largest hedge fund in the U.S. —Long-Term Capital Management(LTCM). Its reach and operating practices were such that Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said that when LTCM failed, “he had never seen anything in his lifetime that compared to the terror” he felt. LTCM was deemed “too big to fail,” and he engineered a bailout by 14 major U.S. financial institutions.\nExactly a decade later, too much leverage by some of those very institutions, and the bursting of a U.S. real estate bubble, led to the near collapse of the U.S. financial system. Once again, big banks were deemed too big to fail and taxpayers came to the rescue.\nThe trend? Every 10 years or so, and they all look different. Are we in the early stages of a new crisis now, with the blowup at the family office Archegos Capital Management LP?\nA family office, for the uninitiated, is a private wealth management vehicle for the ultra-wealthy. Here’s what I mean by ultra-wealthy: Consulting firm EY estimates there are some 10,000 family offices globally, but manage, says a separate estimate by market research firm Campden Research, nearly $6 trillion. That $6 trillion is likely far higher now given that it’s based on 2019 data.\nUnregulated money managers\nHere’s the potential danger. Family offices generally aren’t regulated. The 1940 Investment Advisers Act says firms with 15 clients or fewer don’t have to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission. What this means is that trillions of dollars are in play and no one can really say who’s running the money, what it’s invested in, how much leverage is being used, and what kind of counterparty risk may exist. (Counterparty risk is the probability that one party involved in a financial transaction could default on a contractual obligation to someone else.)\nThis appears to be the case with Archegos. The firm bet heavily on certain Chinese stocks, including e-commerce player Vipshop Holdings Ltd.VIPS,-1.19%,U.S.-listed Chinese tutoring company GSX Techedu Inc.GSX,-10.63%and U.S. media companiesViacomCBS Inc.VIAC,-3.90%and Discovery Inc.DISCA,-3.86%,among others. Share prices have tumbled lately, sparking large sales — some $30 billion — by Archegos.\nThe problem is that only about a third of that, or $10 billion, was its own money. We now know that Archegos worked with some of the biggest names on Wall Street, including Credit Suisse Group AGCS,+1.59%,UBS Group AGUBS,+1.01%,Goldman Sachs Group Inc.GS,-1.25%, Morgan StanleyMS,-0.28%,Deutsche Bank AGDB,+0.74%and Nomura Holdings Inc. NMR,+1.87%.\nBut since family offices are largely allowed to operate unregulated, who’s to say how much money is really involved here and what the extent of market risk is? My colleague Mark DeCambre reported last week that Archegos’ true exposures to bad trades could actuallybe closer to $100 billion.\nDanger of counterparty risk\nThis is where counterparty risk comes in. As Archegos’ bets went south, the above banks — looking at losses of their own — hit the firm with margin calls. Deutsche quickly dumped about $4 billion in holdings, while Goldman and Morgan Stanley are also said to have unwound their positions, perhaps limiting their downside.\nSo is this a financial crisis? It doesn’t appear to be. Even so, the Securities and Exchange Commission has opened a preliminary investigation into Archegos and its founder, Bill Hwang.\nOne peer, Tom Lee, the research chief of Fundstrat Global Advisors, calls Hwang one of the “top 10 of the best investment minds” he knows.\nBut federal regulators may have a lesser opinion. In 2012, Hwang’s former hedge fund, Tiger Asia Management, pleaded guilty and paid more than $60 million in penalties after it was accused of trading on illegal tips about Chinese banks. The SEC banned Hwang from managing money on behalf of clients — essentially booting him from the hedge fund industry. So Hwang opened Archegos, and again, family offices aren’t generally aren’t regulated.\nYellen on the case\nThis issue is on Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s radar. She said last week that greater oversight of these private corners of the financial industry is needed. The Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), which she oversees, has revived a task force to help agencies better “share data, identify risks and work to strengthen our financial system.”\nMost financial crises end up with American taxpayers getting stuck with the tab. Gains belong to the risk-takers. But losses — they belong to us. To paraphrase Abe Lincoln, family offices — a multi-trillion dollar industry largely allowed to operate in the shadows in a global financial system that is more intertwined than ever — are of the super-wealthy, by the super-wealthy and for the super-wealthy. And no one else.\nThe Archegos collapse may or may not be the beginning of yet another financial crisis. But who’s to say what thousands of other family offices are doing with their trillions, and whether similar problems could blow up?","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":323,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":340862900,"gmtCreate":1617373517800,"gmtModify":1704699285364,"author":{"id":"3573872405137341","authorId":"3573872405137341","name":"Trentmercer","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/71e13d90c375cab2167430c197939599","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/340862900","repostId":"1176602902","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1176602902","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1617366683,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1176602902?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-02 20:31","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. added 916,000 jobs in March, above expectations","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1176602902","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(April 2) Job growth boomed in March at the fastest pace since last summer as stronger economic grow","content":"<p>(April&nbsp;2)&nbsp;Job growth boomed in March at the fastest pace since last summer as stronger economic growth and an aggressive vaccination effort pushed companies to step up hiring, the Labor Department reported Friday.</p><p>Nonfarm payrolls increased by 916,000 for the month while the unemployment rate fell to 6%.</p><p>Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for an increase of 675,000 and an unemployment rate of 6%.</p><p>The report comes amid a slew of other indicators pointing to stronger growth as the U.S. tries to shake off the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

I have about 3% of my portfolio in bond mutual funds so that I know how they work and to have at least a little exposure to this sector over time. I plan to have bonds be a very small portion of my portfolio up to right around age 65.

Apple (AAPL) should be considered as a potential cornerstone piece to any portfolio as one of the world's largest and most profitable companies that prints money almost faster than the Fed. I used the latest rotation from high growth to value in the market in March to add to my stockpile of Apple as the stock hasn't noticeably appreciated in the last 6 months. I hope to keep adding some shares monthly as I think it is a great value at this time and a long-term winner.</p>\n<p>2. QUALCOMM (QCOM) is a major technology solutions provider for companies like Apple and will be an integral part of upcoming transformational secular revolutions like 5G. It's currently my 8th largest individual position with no plans to ever sell currently.</p>\n<p>3. Xilinx (XLNX) is being acquired by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) in a$35B all-stock transactionhopefully before the end of 2021. I love the built-in arbitrage of all-stock transactions like this for tremendous companies like AMD and didn't mind selling my AMD in 2020 to buy Xilinx. I boosted my shares in Xilinx by a noticeable amount in March after its latest pullback. After this latest add not sure if I will get to add more shares before the end of the year when the AMD deal is close to finishing.</p>\n<p>4. Dell (DELL) is a legacy holding which continues to aggressively grow through value acquisitions like the$67B EMC dealand the future potential full acquisition of the hybrid cloud giant VMware (NYSE:VMW) which it owns ~80% of. Michael Dell is a shareholder winner through and through and following in his stock footpaths I think is a good long-term decision.</p>\n<p>5. Roblox (RBLX) is a teen gaming platform that came public through a direct listing in March of 2021. My hope was that it does not come out of the gate as hot as earlier IPOs DoorDash (DASH) and Airbnb (ABNB), which were too expensive for investing in for me personally when they premiered. I was very happy to get in at the IPO price of $64 a share for a large holding which I might add to in the coming months if it continues to linger around the IPO price or lower. I always try to have an eye on what younger generations are loving and this platform is expanding and growing phenomenally.</p>\n<p><b>Sold:</b>Sold my Microsoft(NASDAQ:MSFT)stock as it was a small position and I wanted to add to my Apple shares as a core holding.</p>\n<p><b>The Health Care Sector (Aim = 15% of my Stock holdings)</b></p>\n<table>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Stock</p></td>\n   <td><p>$30K</p></td>\n   <td><p>$300K</p></td>\n   <td><p>$3M</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>$ARWR</p></td>\n   <td><p>$1,520</p></td>\n   <td><p>$15,200</p></td>\n   <td><p>$152,000</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>$MDT</p></td>\n   <td><p>$460</p></td>\n   <td><p>$4,600</p></td>\n   <td><p>$46,000</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>$MDXG</p></td>\n   <td><p>$1,720</p></td>\n   <td><p>$17,200</p></td>\n   <td><p>$172,000</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>$LLY</p></td>\n   <td><p>$460</p></td>\n   <td><p>$4,600</p></td>\n   <td><p>$46,000</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>$PFE</p></td>\n   <td><p>$300</p></td>\n   <td><p>$3,000</p></td>\n   <td><p>$30,000</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>$MNKD</p></td>\n   <td><p>$110</p></td>\n   <td><p>$1,100</p></td>\n   <td><p>$11,000</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>$SMMT</p></td>\n   <td><p>$290</p></td>\n   <td><p>$2,900</p></td>\n   <td><p>$29,000</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>% Portfolio</p></td>\n   <td><p>19.9%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>6. Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals (ARWR) is my 4th largest individual stock position as an RNAi juggernaut entering key Phase 3 trials in 2021. A lovely balance sheet with key partnerships with Janssen (JNJ) and Amgen (AMGN) significantly de-risk its TRiM platform as it continues to expand into additional cell types. It has had a nice consolidation around $80 for a bit now so hopefully some good news will be all it needs to reach for that $100 handle.</p>\n<p>7. Medtronic (MDT) Health Care device maker that I think has significant upside from COVID-19 issues for years to come. Hospitals will need the best equipment companies like Medtronic provide as health issues from Covid-19 could persist for years.</p>\n<p>8. MiMedx (MDXG) was my largest individual stock position for a good portion of 2020 as the company made momentous strides in getting its financials back in order and re-listed on the NASDAQ. I trimmed this position after re-listing as its potentially game-changing knee osteoarthritis data comes out later in 2021. I hope to slowly add back to this position in 2021.</p>\n<p>9. Eli Lilly (LLY) is a favored legacy holding that I hope to slowly add to over time and never sell. Some amazing drugs and a pipeline of potential game changing candidates can give this company real zip when good data hits.</p>\n<p>10. Pfizer (PFE) A healthcare behemoth with a big stake in the fight against COVID-19. It seems like a great deal at current prices after its pullback from recent highs to start the year warranting me starting a new position in the company in late February.</p>\n<p>11.

Even after the most recent significant pullback, it is still my largest individual stock position as institutions continue to take a greater interest in it. As world banks and the Fed continue to print money like it's going out of style due to COVID-19, alternate money sources like Bitcoin could easily continue to see outsized gains in my opinion. EvenElon Musk likes it. Its pullback to end the month is one of the main reasons for my underperformance to the S&amp;P 500 this month.

Each and every individual person intent on having the happiest retirement possible could and should take charge of their retirement portfolios and invest in simple index/mutual funds and/or a balanced portfolio like the one I have set up to maximize returns over decades of performance.\nContributions:\nDuring the month of January, my retirement portfolio had $2,100 in contributions added to it. In February, my spouse and I contributed $12,000 to our IRA portfolios for 2020 with the goal to do another $12,000 in IRA contributions for 2021 later on this year. March had no meaningful retirement contributions for stocks or Mutual Funds. Here is how my portfolio performed compared to the SPDR S&P 500 Trust (SPY) over the beginning of 2021. The rotation to value ended up smashing my portfolio for the month but I am in great position for a rebound if that trend ends as I loaded up on unloved growth stocks and tech names.\n\n\n\nFund\nSPY\nWelsh\nWelsh Minus Contributions\n\n\n% Gain Jan 2021\n-1.02%\n2.85%\n2.2%\n\n\n% Gain Feb 2021\n2.84%\n2.59%\n-1.1%\n\n\n% Gain Mar 2021\n4.16%\n1.53%\n1.53%\n\n\nYTD GAINS\n5.96%\n7.12%\n2.66%\n\n\n\nRegular contributions to your retirement portfolio help your portfolio to grow even on less than ideal months where you fail to outperform the S&P 500. Not every month will be a winner, but regular contributions can help make anyone's performance look good over time.\nHere's how the SPY has tracked over the beginning of 2021.\nData byYCharts\nMy portfolio was divided up to start 2021 at around 73% stocks and around 27% mutual and index funds with the goal to increase stocks to over 80% of my portfolio over time. It is currently built with approximately 87% domestic stocks and 13% foreign stocks as I have added China stocks this month again to my portfolio. I have about 3% of my portfolio in bond mutual funds so that I know how they work and to have at least a little exposure to this sector over time. I plan to have bonds be a very small portion of my portfolio up to right around age 65. Diversification lifts my whole portfolio's returns over time, so finding the best stocks in every sector is a goal for me each and every year. Here are some of the main changes sincemy last portfolio article in February of 2021.\n\n\n\nWelsh Portfolio\nStocks\nIndex/Mutual Funds\nBonds\nDomestic\nInternational\n\n\nDecember 2020\n72%\n28%\n3%\n85%\n15%\n\n\nJanuary 2021\n73%\n27%\n2.6%\n87%\n13%\n\n\nFebruary 2021\n72%\n28%\n3%\n89%\n11%\n\n\nMarch 2021\n73%\n27%\n3%\n87%\n13%\n\n\n\nHere are the details of my personal ~$338k portfolio then, based on values of approximately $30k, $300k, and $3 million broken down by sectors with brief descriptions of each stock in each sector. The best thing about my portfolio setup is that it is scalable so that people interested in following a similar path can set up their portfolios to follow my path no matter how small or large their holdings are. With fee-free trading and the advent of fractional shares, investors are more capable than ever in setting up amazing portfolios even when starting from scratch.\nThe Welsh Portfolio 2021\nSource: Author\nThe Information Technology Sector (Aim = 15% of my Stock holdings)\n\n\n\nStock\n$30K\n$300K\n$3M\n\n\n$AAPL\n$1,830\n$18,300\n$183,000\n\n\n$QCOM\n$820\n$8,200\n$82,000\n\n\n$XLNX\n$860\n$8,600\n$86,000\n\n\n$DELL\n$490\n$4,900\n$49,000\n\n\n$RBOX\n$480\n$4,800\n$48,000\n\n\n% Portfolio\n18.3%\n\n\n\n1. Apple (AAPL) should be considered as a potential cornerstone piece to any portfolio as one of the world's largest and most profitable companies that prints money almost faster than the Fed. I used the latest rotation from high growth to value in the market in March to add to my stockpile of Apple as the stock hasn't noticeably appreciated in the last 6 months. I hope to keep adding some shares monthly as I think it is a great value at this time and a long-term winner.\n2. QUALCOMM (QCOM) is a major technology solutions provider for companies like Apple and will be an integral part of upcoming transformational secular revolutions like 5G. It's currently my 8th largest individual position with no plans to ever sell currently.\n3. Xilinx (XLNX) is being acquired by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) in a$35B all-stock transactionhopefully before the end of 2021. I love the built-in arbitrage of all-stock transactions like this for tremendous companies like AMD and didn't mind selling my AMD in 2020 to buy Xilinx. I boosted my shares in Xilinx by a noticeable amount in March after its latest pullback. After this latest add not sure if I will get to add more shares before the end of the year when the AMD deal is close to finishing.\n4. Dell (DELL) is a legacy holding which continues to aggressively grow through value acquisitions like the$67B EMC dealand the future potential full acquisition of the hybrid cloud giant VMware (NYSE:VMW) which it owns ~80% of. Michael Dell is a shareholder winner through and through and following in his stock footpaths I think is a good long-term decision.\n5. Roblox (RBLX) is a teen gaming platform that came public through a direct listing in March of 2021. My hope was that it does not come out of the gate as hot as earlier IPOs DoorDash (DASH) and Airbnb (ABNB), which were too expensive for investing in for me personally when they premiered. I was very happy to get in at the IPO price of $64 a share for a large holding which I might add to in the coming months if it continues to linger around the IPO price or lower. I always try to have an eye on what younger generations are loving and this platform is expanding and growing phenomenally.\nSold:Sold my Microsoft(NASDAQ:MSFT)stock as it was a small position and I wanted to add to my Apple shares as a core holding.\nThe Health Care Sector (Aim = 15% of my Stock holdings)\n\n\n\nStock\n$30K\n$300K\n$3M\n\n\n$ARWR\n$1,520\n$15,200\n$152,000\n\n\n$MDT\n$460\n$4,600\n$46,000\n\n\n$MDXG\n$1,720\n$17,200\n$172,000\n\n\n$LLY\n$460\n$4,600\n$46,000\n\n\n$PFE\n$300\n$3,000\n$30,000\n\n\n$MNKD\n$110\n$1,100\n$11,000\n\n\n$SMMT\n$290\n$2,900\n$29,000\n\n\n% Portfolio\n19.9%\n\n\n\n6. Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals (ARWR) is my 4th largest individual stock position as an RNAi juggernaut entering key Phase 3 trials in 2021. A lovely balance sheet with key partnerships with Janssen (JNJ) and Amgen (AMGN) significantly de-risk its TRiM platform as it continues to expand into additional cell types. It has had a nice consolidation around $80 for a bit now so hopefully some good news will be all it needs to reach for that $100 handle.\n7. Medtronic (MDT) Health Care device maker that I think has significant upside from COVID-19 issues for years to come. Hospitals will need the best equipment companies like Medtronic provide as health issues from Covid-19 could persist for years.\n8. MiMedx (MDXG) was my largest individual stock position for a good portion of 2020 as the company made momentous strides in getting its financials back in order and re-listed on the NASDAQ. I trimmed this position after re-listing as its potentially game-changing knee osteoarthritis data comes out later in 2021. I hope to slowly add back to this position in 2021.\n9. Eli Lilly (LLY) is a favored legacy holding that I hope to slowly add to over time and never sell. Some amazing drugs and a pipeline of potential game changing candidates can give this company real zip when good data hits.\n10. Pfizer (PFE) A healthcare behemoth with a big stake in the fight against COVID-19. It seems like a great deal at current prices after its pullback from recent highs to start the year warranting me starting a new position in the company in late February.\n11. MannKind(NASDAQ:MNKD)Is a former legacy holding that I decided to jump back into after its recent$200M capital raisealong with its collaboration with United Therapeutics.\n12. Summit Therapeutics (SMMT) is also a former holding of mine that I sold after I had about tripled my money in. I love the CDC? And gonorrhea candidates in the coming years along with the CEO and majority shareholders backing as a sub $500M company. I plan on doubling my current shares in April when itsrights offeringexpires.\nThe Communication Services Sector (Aim = 15% of my Stock holdings)\n\n\n\nStock\n$30K\n$300K\n$3M\n\n\n$DIS\n$2,010\n$20,100\n$201,000\n\n\n$BIDU\n$540\n$5,400\n$54,000\n\n\n$TME\n$300\n$3,000\n$30,000\n\n\n$WWE\n$590\n$5,900\n$59,000\n\n\n$GOOGL\n$410\n$4,100\n$41,000\n\n\n% Portfolio\n15.7%\n\n\n\n13. Disney (DIS) will crush Netflix (NFLX) over time as its streaming platform continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Forever stock for me as my 2nd largest individual stock holding while always looking to add cheap shares. Unfortunately, pullbacks have been few and far between meaning I might not be adding shares until the end of 2021.\n14. Baidu (BIDU) My main grab on re-entering the China space. The recent meltdown in stocks from the Hwang family office, Archegos Capital, means that stocks like Baidu are trading at a tremendous discount to where they were just a couple months ago with their fundamentals still intact.\n15. Tencent (TME) Another victim of Archegos Capital, Tencent is a leader in China's music entertainment industry which also initiated a $1B share repurchase buyback program after the crash of its shares.\n16. World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is one of the few remaining live event media stocks growing globally, while always a potential takeover target from juggernauts like Disney. Plus, late at night, when finding a good streaming movie seems virtually impossible, putting on a mindless WWE match serves as a great way to end the day for me at least.\n17. Alphabet (GOOGL) One of the latest adds to my portfolio from the infamous FANG names which will most likely land in the never sell category. I prefer it currently over the likes of Facebook (FB) due to privacy issues but that might just be a transitory feeling.\nSold:Sold my AT&T (T) as I sold a lot of defensive names to take advantage of the sell off of quality technology stocks.\nThe Financial Sector (Aim = 15% of my Stock holdings)\n\n\n\nStock\n$30K\n$300K\n$3M\n\n\n$GBTC\n$2,450\n$24,500\n$245,000\n\n\n$HSBC\n$210\n$2,100\n$21,000\n\n\n$RPLA\n$1,280\n$12,800\n$128,000\n\n\n% Portfolio\n16.1%\n\n\n\n18. Bitcoin (GBTC) soared over the back part of 2020 and rallied even more to start 2021 by reaching new all-time highs. Even after the most recent significant pullback, it is still my largest individual stock position as institutions continue to take a greater interest in it. As world banks and the Fed continue to print money like it's going out of style due to COVID-19, alternate money sources like Bitcoin could easily continue to see outsized gains in my opinion. EvenElon Musk likes it. Its pullback to end the month is one of the main reasons for my underperformance to the S&P 500 this month. Still absolutely love it though as my top investment.\n19. HSBC Bank (HSBC) is a legacy holding that might finally see some upside if the United Kingdom can ever get Brexit resolved. That of course, might be a big if.\n20. Finance of America (RPLA) My new value SPAC that goes public on April 1st of 2021. I believe it has a lot of hidden value in the stock which hopefully will be realized upon going public or over its first couple of earnings reports. The goal is to make some nice quick profits in the name and then transfer back into companies like JPMorgan again.\nSold:Sold my stock in JPMorgan (JPM) and BlackRock (BLK) as I took a big position in Finance of America as a value SPAC that I hope to trade out of in the near future after it goes public or after its first earnings report or two.\nThe Consumer Discretionary Sector (Aim = 6% of my Stock holdings)\n\n\n\nStock\n$30K\n$300K\n$3M\n\n\n$TSLA\n$330\n$3,300\n$33,000\n\n\n$TSCO\n$520\n$5,200\n$52,000\n\n\n$MELI\n$290\n$2,900\n$29,000\n\n\n$BABA\n$450\n$4,500\n$45,000\n\n\n% Portfolio\n6.5%\n\n\n\n21. Tesla (TSLA) continues to dominate the world of online retail, cloud, and virtually anything else it expands into like no other company in history. Is on my current never-sell list with a small celebration every time I can add another share.\n22. Tractor Supply Company (TSCO) quietly continues to perform as one of the best companies in retail mostly immune to Amazon's dominance. Itsacquisition of Petsensemakes a lot of sense now, especially with the growth of everything pet in the wake of COVID-19.\n23. MercadoLibre (MELI) is Latin America's Amazon. One of the best international stocks in my portfolio that I really should add more to on pullbacks.\n24. Alibaba (BABA) A pillar of Chinese stocks so an obvious add here although it wasn't directly involved in the latest large market sell off. Also the reason I sold my Amazon stock.\nSold:Sold Amazon (AMZN) in order to get some exposure to China stocks including its Chinese counterpart Alibaba.\nThe Consumer Staples Sector (Aim = 6% of my Stock holdings)\n\n\n\nStock\n$30K\n$300K\n$3M\n\n\n$PG\n$500\n$5,000\n$50,000\n\n\n$PEP\n$440\n$4,400\n$44,000\n\n\n$GIS\n$390\n$3,900\n$39,000\n\n\n% Portfolio\n5.5%\n\n\n\n25. Procter & Gamble (PG) is a legacy holding that sports a decent growing dividend along with many best in class brands like Olay, Head & Shoulders, Dawn, and Charmin. Always nice to have some stalwarts for the upcoming recessions and depressions.\n26. PepsiCo (PEP) is a phenomenal drink company with brands like Pepsi-Cola, Gatorade, and Tropicana along with amazing growth in the snack category with Frito-Lay that, in my mind, sets it apart from competitors like Coke (KO).\n27. General Mills (GIS) is a legacy holding for me with a great dividend that experienced a huge turnaround during COVID-19 with its brands, including its$8B acquisition of Blue Buffaloin 2018. Its former debt concerns have mostly evaporated as it has shored up its balance sheet and continues to benefit from the stay-at-home movement.\nThe Industrials Sector (Aim = 6% of my Stock holdings)\n\n\n\nStock\n$30K\n$300K\n$3M\n\n\n$J\n$870\n$8,700\n$87,000\n\n\n$SPCE\n$550\n$5,500\n$55,000\n\n\n$AXON\n$420\n$4,200\n$42,000\n\n\n% Portfolio\n7.5%\n\n\n\n28. Jacobs Engineering (J) is a legacy holding I have loved for years. A long-time no-debt company that makes super-smart acquisitions now has low debt and has initiated a dividend which it should be able to grow nicely over the coming years. Its focus on carbon neutrality and diversity in its workforce makes it a prime target for the younger generation. It is currently my 10th largest holding in my retirement portfolio.\n29. Virgin Galactic (SPCE) is one of the premier ways to play future commercial space flight. With its next test launch scheduled for May this is a wait and see stock at this time.\n30. Axon (AXON) is the maker of Taser as well as the bodysuits, cameras, and cloud software for officers across the United States. Phenomenal gains in this stock recently as well to start 2021. So many great stocks, so little money :).\nSold:Sold my Global Ship Lease (GSL) as that trade played out for a small gain to invest back into beaten down tech names as well as Chinese stocks at the end of the month.\nThe Materials Sector (Aim = 6% of my Stock holdings)\n\n\n\nStock\n$30K\n$300K\n$3M\n\n\n$CLF\n$480\n$4,800\n$48,000\n\n\n% Portfolio\n2.0%\n\n\n\n31. Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) is an Iron Range stock that acquiredAK Steelat the end of 2019 and, more recently, announced the acquisition of ArcelorMittal (NYSE:MT) in late 2020 in adeal valued at $3.3B. Cleveland-Cliffs is well on its way to becoming a fully integrated steelmaker with clout in the U.S. A bipartisan infrastructure bill later in the year could do wonders for the iron and steel markets, but that is all hypothetical at this point and time.\nSold:Sold my Barrick Gold (GOLD) stock as I am tired of taking the hits even with the phenomenal dividend. I'm looking to re-enter the stock in a couple months when hopefully the selling pressure eases.\nThe Energy Sector (Aim = 6% of my Stock holdings)\n\n\n\nStock\n$30k\n$300k\n$3M\n\n\n$RDS/B\n$180\n$1,800\n$18,000\n\n\n$PBR\n$360\n$3,600\n$36,000\n\n\n$HAL\n$340\n$3,400\n$34,000\n\n\n% Portfolio\n3.6%\n\n\n\n32. Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.B) is a leader in the oil industry with a dividend that management is looking to grow quickly after it slashed it earlier in 2020 due to COVID-19 concerns.\n33. Petrobras (PBR) is a Brazil-based oil play with lots of potential if it can get past its scandal-ridden past. Unfortunately, Brazil President Bolsonaro recently named General Joaquim Silva e Luna to replace current CEO Roberto Castello Branco resulting in a huge crisis of faith in the company in its latest scandal. Can only be uphill from here I keep telling myself.\n34.
