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!

Great video. I could not find the link u mention at rhe end. Can you please share it here?
Hi Kit, thank you. Do you mean the link to the spreadsheet?
Yes, I meant it, but I found it in the youtube page. I could not see it here. Thanks
Hello EDGI,
I have been trying to make the same exercise. I started easy from he debt to equity ratio. I used RDSB balance sheet from TIKR to calculate it and considered the most recent balance sheet (30/06/2021). I could not understand how you could get a ration of 52%. Given for granted that you used the total equity (171,243 USD), what balance sheets items did you use to calculate the LTD? I am trying to make my own calculations and if you could answer it would be really helpful.
