Hi Traders,
In relative terms this year has been a relatively calm one thus far. Despite markets still pricing in weather the global economy up for “soft” or hard” landing, there a are plenty of volatility to bet on.
To make it easier for you, also to put things in perspective, we’ve assembled a quick comparison of how two of our most popular managed accounts – Portfolio Flagship (ex Portfolio ECS) & Athena EA compare to other popular type of investments.
Be advised, although not exactly “apples to apples” comparison, the main purpose of this comparison is to give you a broader understanding of the key strengths, as well as possible shortcomings, of investing with our methods in relation to the broader markets.

DAX40 | 13.5% | ||

WTI Oil | 1.5% | Cuts in supply, slowing global economy & Russian Oil sanctions kept Oil from spiking. | Invest via VT Markets |
So far, popular crypto like ETH & BTC have a comeback this year, and even despite still being ≈ 25% below it’s price point just a year ago, the Q1 2023 bounce back is making many speculators hopeful of the future for the asset class.
While we are not here to speculate on the particulars of the trend reversal, the banking crisis in US, as well as a claim by Balaji Srinivasan that BTC would be rise to 1mln per coin in 90 days (public pump if you may) have certainly helped the digital currency (even though coy mr Balaji bet, given his hypothetical BTC assets would turn profit even if the “bet” doesn’t play out.
I will take that bet.
You buy 1 BTC.
I will send $1M USD.
This is ~40:1 odds as 1 BTC is worth ~$26k.
The term is 90 days.
All we need is a mutually agreed custodian who will still be there to settle this in the event of digital dollar devaluation.

On a bright side, we don’t see a similar bounce in NFTs and more speculative assets, as well as can’t help but notice that this time around – there are much less leveraged long positions, which in our view is a good sign and potential indicator that the asset class is less prone to steep spikes (not limited to short squeezes) and generally abnormal volatility this time around.
Unlike with Crypto, with biggest Indices market seem to be pricing in the global economic uncertainty a bit more carefully in Q1 2023.
It is likely that recent US Banking woes have not added extra confidence to the soft-landing camp. Interestingly, neither the hype around AI-led future growth, which on it own comes with quite a hefty uncertainty tag + even an existential risks according to some big wigs, nor layoffs by major Tech sector companies managed to reassure investors to catch up with the past year losses (SP500 is still 7% down to where it was a year ago).
To put it crudely, everyone is cautiously waiting for the Fed to indicate when it’s ready to stop with rate hikes and how it plans to address the alleged return to lower interest rates once they hike it to the ≈ 6% target.
This asset class is having a bit of a respite since the last year rally, Oil is trailing around the same price it started this year, not without the help of Saudis breaks on production and a $60 cap on Russian Oil earlier (more caps coming on 2023).
Overall, recent economic muscle display by US, China & Gulf nations is an explicit indicator of the deteriorating state the geopolitical landscape is in ever since Russia invasion of Ukraine back in February 2022.
