From Panic to Profit: I Bought 2 New Stocks and Reinforced 4 Existing Positions
Executing the defined strategy
Over the weekend, I shared my top stock picks to consider after the recent market sell-off. Now, let's take a look at the ones I actually bought once they reached attractive buy zones.
Predicting where and when the market will bottom out is never certain, especially with the added volatility from Trump’s decisions. That is why identifying compelling buy zones and deploying capital gradually is essential. This is exactly what I did.
I made a diversified set of 6 new buys, broken down as follows:
2 new positions and 4 additions to existing ones
5 US stocks and 1 European stock
4 large caps and 2 small caps
1 healthcare, 1 industrial, 2 tech, 1 financial, and 1 consumer stock
Since this newsletter began 16 months ago, I have maintained a single goal: sharing my market knowledge, highlighting straightforward and effective strategies, analyzing business models, discovering new opportunities, and transparently sharing every move (so you can learn from my successes and mistakes).
Today’s environment is challenging, and it is the perfect time to leverage everything we have built with this strategy to help us navigate the turbulence.
The first new position
The first stock I added is Amazon. No need to present this giant but if you are curious here you can find my article about the company
I opened a small position due to the current market volatility. The stock is on a compelling support. Of course, it may suffer from tariffs (like most companies by the way directly or indirectly). But in the long-term, my investment thesis is still clear.
My position: 8 shares

The stock is at the same price as 2020. At that time it was clearly overvalued. Now I find the price compelling but remain cautious as market conditions are difficult and I am prepared to reinforce.
