What I’m Buying: August 2026 Asymmetric Portfolio Update
I’m buying 3 stocks this month.
The Asymmetric Portfolio | August 2026 Additions
This is the latest allocation of $500 into a personal portfolio of stocks with 10x potential over the next decade. I’ll allocate from the “Asymmetric Universe” of stocks. Today, that universe has 25 stocks that I’ve covered in spotlight articles, and the universe will grow in time.
Not all stocks covered will receive an investment, and allocations may be made to the same stock multiple times. Here are the rules of allocation.
Invest $500 in total new capital each month.
If the S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite is 20% below its all-time high, this allocation will increase to $1,000 monthly.
If the S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite is down 30%, I’ll add $1,500, and so on.
Pick any stock* in the Asymmetric Universe.
*Stocks can be bought more than once or not at all.
Any funds received from sales/dividends will be redeployed the following month.
The full portfolio as of this morning and performance since joining SavvyTrader for tracking are at the bottom of this post.
