Value outperformed Growth by 110% during the Tech Wreck — could history be rhyming again?

Over the past few months, Value has quietly started to outperform Growth. It’s a pattern we’ve seen before — one that feels eerily similar to the lead-up to the early 2000s Tech Wreck.

Back then, speculative excess, sky-high valuations, and profitless IPOs ruled the markets. When the correction came, Value investors came out on top.

Between March 2000 and October 2002, Berkshire Hathaway gained +27.6%, while the Nasdaq-100 fell –82.7% — a 110% outperformance by Value.

Are we seeing history rhyme once again?

Everyone in the golf club thought they were investing in American property…

I told them it was actually a foreign exchange bet—and it turned out I was right.

The dollar dropped 30%. Their equity? Wiped out.

The FX market is often overlooked in portfolio construction, but it can make or break returns—especially for passive investors holding unhedged US assets.

This year alone, the Euro Stoxx 50 has outperformed the S&P 500 by 16% in euro-adjusted terms.

Tensions in the Middle East are rising again.

Crude oil? Everyone’s watching it.

But you know what quietly gained +5.57% the same day conflict headlines broke?
Uranium.

With energy independence now a top priority worldwide, nuclear is back in the spotlight.

China plans to nearly double its nuclear capacity by 2040

TerraPower just raised $650M (yes, with help from Nvidia)

The World Bank lifted its ban on nuclear funding

Westinghouse plans to pour $75B into 10 new U.S. reactors

Why does this matter to investors?
Because uranium isn’t just gaining momentum—it’s non-correlated to traditional asset classes, making it a strong diversifier in any portfolio.

Active vs Passive Investing in 2025: Does Trump Change the Game?

With US debt topping $35 TRILLION and Trump eyeing broad tariffs if re-elected, the passive “set it and forget it” approach might be facing its biggest test yet.

Here’s the dilemma:
Passive investing is cheap, reliable long-term — but rigid during shocks.
Active investing can pivot fast — but only works if you pick the right managers (and the fees don’t eat you alive).

In a world of rising rates, inflation risks, trade wars, and market concentration (hello, Big Tech ), active managers may finally have their moment... if they can deliver.

So what’s the smart move?

A blended strategy might just be your best hedge:

Core: low-cost index exposure

Satellite: tactical active plays in volatile sectors

I break down all the macro risks (debt, tariffs, inflation) — and what they mean for your portfolio — in the full blog.

Is it time to load up on Silver?

A friend of ours asked if he should buy physical gold “just in case WW3 breaks out.” Fair. But here’s the thing — Silver is currently way undervalued compared to Gold.

The Gold/Silver ratio is 91 (historical average = 60)
That means Silver could jump over 50% if things rebalance

So if you're stacking precious metals, don't sleep on Silver.

China Tech Outperforms US Tech – and It’s Not Even Close

Over the last 15 months, Chinese tech stocks (via the Kraneshares CSI China Internet ETF) returned +32.27%, outperforming the Nasdaq 100’s +19.11%. That’s a 13.16% edge — and yet most portfolios are still heavily weighted toward U.S. tech.

We believe this is a once-in-a-decade opportunity — think post-2008 US Tech, but in China.

Why it matters:

- Huge market size & online retail dominance
- $204B in cash across the “Dragon 7” (China’s Mag 7)
- Strong free cash flow + undervalued PEG ratios
- Major share buyback programs
- Strategic government support

For those looking to diversify beyond the Magnificent 7 — or seeking capital protection and yield — there are smart, tax-efficient ways to gain exposure to this theme inside your pension.
