I felt it will be good to track the returns on a regular basis since the returns will fluctuate from time to time depending on the stock market. 

Looks like most of the returns are trending up, with the exception of the Cryptocurrency portfolio:

Here's a recap of the major market events (positive events in green and negative events in red):

• May 2022: the crash of TerraUSD and Luna

• July 2022: Covid-19 is causing lockdowns still in major Chinese cities. US-China tensions remain high. Russia-Ukraine managed to ink a deal to reopen grain exports, thereby alleviating the global food crisis. Petrol prices dropped to the lowest in 4 months.

• October 2022: rising interest rates, high inflation, the war in Ukraine, and a possible recession in the US. China-Taiwan tensions due to Pelosi's visit.

• Nov 2022: CPI increased less than expected which suggests inflation has peaked, in turn causing markets to rise as they believe Fed will not increase interest rates as much

As I have insinuated a few times, as long as I do not need the money, the plan is to hold even if there is a WW3.
