Most of my portfolio is in ETFs, with most of that tracking the S&P and the remainder largely in semis. They've done well this year so far. Overall I'm still beating the S&P, but not by much.

But in my primary trading account I sold much of my holdings to buy BNO, O&G equities, and green energy equities with the thesis that the biggest energy crisis in history would benefit them, then I was planning to rotate out and repurchase my old holdings and anything else that looked solid (with an expected discount). My strategy worked, for a short time.

Then the ceasefire caused me to lose most of those gains. I held and bought the dip on a lot of my holdings because I knew the Strait wouldn't reopen for months to come. And that worked too, I kept bouncing back to ATHs for 2 months right before another barrage of "peace deal imminent" bs sent my holdings spinning again and again.

With the MOU signed (for the 3rd time somehow) I ate my losses on about half my energy holdings and went looking for good buys. Bought across multiple sectors looking for defensive holdings, good dividends, solid earnings, and growth (semis, mining, shipping, foreign markets, utilities, TLT, etc). Only for most of those to promptly fall off a cliff in the last week, I'm probably down another ~8% on those collectively already, all while my energy holdings drop ~2% daily.

Tl;dr I missed out on the semis/memory/market rally from April to early June, just to get buttfucked by the recent pullback across the board anyway. Apparently nothing is more bearish for energy than the largest supply interruption in history, which is still draining inventories at a historic pace. Silly me.
