My Income Portfolio: The Knight's Move
Inspired by the horse race in the 2026 Palio di Siena, I made a financial move that I hope will be just as clever as the knight's move in chess. I decided to close out two positions in my Cupolone portfolio that I wasn't entirely convinced about, raising cash to reinvest when the opportunity arises. The purpose of this move is to use this liquidity in securities with better overall NAV performance and a greater likelihood of long-term success.

BST: This Income Machine Can Still Work After Reaching $50
BlackRock Science and Technology Trust remains compelling, offering direct exposure to AI leaders Anthropic, Databricks, and Anduril, plus robust monthly distributions. BST trades at a -3.93% discount to NAV, with private valuation markups for Databricks and Anthropic yet to be fully reflected in the NAV. The fund's removal of the options writing strategy has accelerated NAV growth, enabling full participation in the AI-driven CapEx cycle.

My Income Portfolio-Boosting Returns
The risk-return tradeoff is the financial principle according to which potentially higher returns require accepting higher risk. Risk is the potential for monetary loss or default stemming from market volatility, excessive debt, or unexpected economic downturns. When it comes to volatility, the main culprit is often leverage—the use of borrowed money to fund investments with the goal of multiplying returns.

Mega Dividends And Growth: Win Big With Up To 11% Yield
Growth darlings prioritize speculative future multiples, while value sectors deliver reliable, current cash flow straight to your wallet. A handful of mega-cap tech firms account for nearly 40% of the entire S&P 500 value. The extreme gap between market-cap weighting and equal weighting matches the absolute apex of the Dot-com bubble.

My Income Portfolio - Looking For Dividends
Dividend investing provides a consistent income stream, beneficial for those seeking passive income, while growth stocks may require selling shares to realize gains. Seeking dividend income does not rule out focusing on the growth of the portfolio's nominal value, thanks to many funds that see their NAV grow over time. These securities offer a dual advantage: immediate returns through regular, periodic distributions, and capital appreciation through long-term NAV increase.
