I don’t know about you, but the market feels really crazy right now. Indices around the world keep breaking new records while the pandemic is still around us.

We also know that a lot of these all time highs are driven by overheated printers from our central banks.

And to be honest, my portfolio does really well this year as a result with an increase of more than 20% year-to-date.

But I actually contribute that more to share price growth which has been outpacing earnings growth.

In my opinion this is not a good sign, because my portfolio is only getting more overvalued as a result of it.

That’s why I started wondering if I actually learnt from the last stock market crash when the pandemic started in 2020?

I had several dividend cuts back then (i.e. Disney and Royal Dutch Shell) and it was also clear that I was poorly diversified.

On top of that I had several top 10 companies which where already struggling with their financial health leading into the stock market crash.

This is the reason why I decided to do my portfolio analysis and share it with you in my latest episode of Sunday with eDGI.

So tune-in and learn if my top 10 portfolio holdings are showing good financial health in case a stock market crash would happen tomorrow (spoiler alert: this is not entirely the case).

See you on the inside!
