Real Returns, Real Talk: My May Recap

May was a big month for the markets. Tech continued to surge, AI remained the hot topic, and investors who stayed the course were rewarded. Personally, I saw solid returns across my portfolio.

✅ CIBR (Cybersecurity ETF): +20% – Cybersecurity demand is growing fast, and it’s paying off.

✅ PLTR (Palantir): +53% – One of the strongest movers this month, driven by real traction in AI and government contracts.

✅ SCHD (Dividend ETF): +6% – Steady as always. Slow but solid income and stability.

✅ SCHG (Growth ETF): +11% – Growth names bounced back strong in May.

✅ SPLG (S&P 500 ETF): +9% – A good reminder that sometimes the broad market can still deliver.

Now the big question; hold or sell?

For me, I’m holding. These positions have long-term potential. Palantir is volatile, but the upside still looks promising. CIBR is gaining ground with global digital threats on the rise. The ETFs provide balance and stability.

Every investor’s situation is different, but timing the top is never easy. Sometimes, letting winners run while managing risk is the smarter move.

May was green. Let’s stay ready for June.

    PLTR is only 2.59% short and I'd swear every one of them is here. That number right there despite PLTR's high valuation is another reason to buy.

    Right? For all the noise about PLTR being overvalued, only 2.59% short interest? Feels like even the bears aren’t fully convinced. Just makes the long case look even stronger.
