This Portfolio Is CRUSHING the Market by 6X in 2026

Hey, Ross here.

This portfolio is crushing the market right now, and I’m about to reveal every single holding, ticker symbol, and allocation percentage.

Three months ago, I shared my retirement account on this channel. Since then? The stock market’s crawled up 2%. My account surged almost 13%.

This isn’t some risky gamble. I actually believe it’s less risky than traditional index funds. The strategy is built for today’s conditions: record-high valuations, above-average inflation, surging energy demand, and a commodity supercycle. What comes next isn’t speculation—it’s strategic allocation.


The Numbers Don’t Lie

Over the last 90 days, my portfolio is up 12.91%.

The S&P 500? Up 2.4%. The Dow? Up 2.65%. Bonds are actually down a quarter percent. Money market funds barely cracked 1%.

Fidelity retirement account total returns table showing Ross 401K at +12.91% versus S&P 500 at +2.40% and Dow Jones Total Stock Market at +2.65% for the period Oct 22, 2025 to Jan 21, 2026

 

Ross’s 401K portfolio significantly outperforms major market indices over a 3-month period

That’s significant outperformance. Taking it back to October 1st, the return jumps even higher—14.56%.


Tracking It All in TradingView

I built this portfolio out in TradingView using their new portfolio feature. It’s essentially a SIM account—you deposit fake money and decide how many shares of what to buy.

Performance so far this year: up around 8.25% versus less than 0.5% for the S&P 500. You want to keep track of your portfolio’s daily gainers and losers—this tool makes that easy.


Debunking the Silver Myth

You might think I’m heavily weighted in silver.

Nope. Only 3% of this portfolio sits in silver. I didn’t just YOLO it on one of these metals.


The Full Portfolio Breakdown

Here’s the complete picture of my retirement portfolio. Every position is a simple ETF you can buy in any brokerage account. And every single one is up so far in 2026.

Let me break that down.


Equity Indexes (40%)

Beyond the Magnificent Seven

This chunk goes to general market index funds, but with a twist.

  • VOO (20%): Vanguard’s S&P 500. The foundation.
  • VTV (5%): Vanguard’s value ETF. Stocks with low price-to-earnings multiples and low price-to-book ratios.
  • VXF (5%): Small and mid-cap fund. More domestic growth exposure, less correlated to the tech giants.
  • VWO (10%): Emerging markets. This fund focuses on commodity-rich economies benefiting from demand in copper, lithium, and other metals.

The Magnificent 7—Nvidia, Tesla, Microsoft, and the rest—are actually underperforming lately. I think that continues through the rest of the year.

While it may seem like only 40% is in stocks, almost all of these holdings are stocks. They’re just focused on energy, metals, and other key sectors rather than tech.

Energy Allocation (25%)

Renewable and reliable, split down the middle

Renewable Energy (12.5%)

  • Nuclear (4%) and Solar (4%): I believe one of these will make a big move in the coming years. We’re slowly evolving to a cleaner energy system. Nuclear takes time. Solar can power up quickly.
  • ICLN (5%): A catch-all for global clean energy stocks, with some overlap into solar and nuclear.

Traditional Energy (12.5%)

We’re not getting off crude, coal, and natural gas completely anytime soon.

  • AMLP (4%): The midstream ETF. Think of it as a toll bridge—it catches money no matter who drills or refines.
  • FCG (4%): Natural gas exposure.
  • VDE (4%): Vanguard’s broad energy fund. Oil and gas producers plus service companies.

Metals Allocation (25%)

Precious and industrial, evenly split

Precious Metals (12.5%)

  • GLDM (3%): Gold position. No different than GLD, just a lower share price for easier allocation. Backed by physical gold.
  • SLV (3%): Silver trust, also backed by the physical commodity.
  • PALL (2%): Palladium exposure.
  • GDXJ (3%): VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF. Junior miners run more volatile and riskier than the big players, but at just 3% of my portfolio, I think it’s worth it. GDXJ also holds some silver miners.
Silver Futures (SI1!) daily candlestick chart showing parabolic uptrend with price at $95.660, up 3.26% on the day

Industrial Metals (12.5%)

  • COPX (3%): Copper.
  • LIT (3%): Lithium batteries.
  • SLX (3%): Steel. Whether you’re building data centers or daycare centers, they all have steel structures.
  • XME (4%): SPDR S&P Metals and Mining ETF.

Real Assets & Infrastructure (10%)

The inflation hedge

I think inflation will get worse. Hard assets will continue to rise. This allocation gives us that tailwind.

  • PAVE (4%): Infrastructure fund. Grids, power distribution, the works.
  • FPI (3%): Farmland exposure.
  • DBA (3%): Agriculture fund covering soft commodities. Cattle, corn, soybeans, cotton—all likely to rise under inflation.

Final Thoughts

I am not telling you to copy my portfolio verbatim. You’re welcome to, but this allocation won’t fit everybody.
