A snapchot of the performance of my portfolio for Q1 2026, generated by ai (in merely 5 seconds).
$ALCO $DBO.TO $MIAX $EVC $SOFW.TA $GPW.WA $CPH.TO $IGIC. Due to specific weighting and closing some winners that missed my hurdle rate due to share price appreciation, I managed to achieve 16.40% YTD so far.

@TheBigBerbowski Market might be overreacting here

[Jochem Verzijl - AAIG @JochemAAIG]

@TheBigBerbowski ‘Geopolitical Situation in the Middle East Causes Near-Term Project Timing Delays’ 👀

[Jochem Verzijl - AAIG @JochemAAIG]

@TheBigBerbowski Yes curious about Mena as well. Must have had a negative impact in a way (contracts being signed, delays, higher variable costs, bla bla).

And yes I read it when it was published! Wasn’t I the one that recommended including the ‘management’ section in the writeup?

[Jochem Verzijl - AAIG @JochemAAIG]

@TheBigBerbowski Any significant developments or new catalysts for this name?

[Jochem Verzijl - AAIG @JochemAAIG]

@TheBigBerbowski Yesss now I can congratulate you. Well deserved mate. Favourite piece is your $PPIH writeup. 🤩

[Jochem Verzijl - AAIG @JochemAAIG]

@InvestorMexican Happens mate, can't catch them all. On to the next!

[Jochem Verzijl - AAIG @JochemAAIG]

@TheBigBerbowski I think i used a direct Dutch to English translation 😆

What i meant to say is i wouldn’t label myself in the ai segment. There are better accounts to follow for that (@MarkosAAIG 😛).

See myself more as a special situation/micro cap investor.

[Jochem Verzijl - AAIG @JochemAAIG]

$NTDO.NE up almost 20% on the month. Looking at the 1yr graph gives you the full picture. Been punished way and way too hard over memory fears. Still a company with a strong brand, moat, and fundamentals. Might be an interesting play to look at. For the investor’s more informed about this name, what is the bear thesis at these prices?

[Jochem Verzijl - AAIG @JochemAAIG]

@TacticzH @MarkosAAIG @mvanbeijeren @SimeonResearch_ Thanks man! We do our best hehe 💫

[Jochem Verzijl - AAIG @JochemAAIG]

I am 101% sure this will give us so many behind the scenes insights in the defence industry, huge…

Sending @SimeonResearch_ to one of the biggest defence expo’s in the world 💫

[Markos @MarkosAAIG]

So. A couple months back @citrini sent Analyst #3 behind the lines into the Strait of Hormuz. Cuban cigar in the water, Shahed drones overhead, IRGC patrol boats running circles eighteen miles off the Iranian coast. One of the best pieces anyone published all year.

We agree with the ethos completely. We just took the part about staying alive a little more seriously.

So our AAIG HR department (which we don’t have) decided it’d be slightly smarter to send @SimeonResearch_ behind the guns instead of in front of them.

Badge is in hand. We’re going to Eurosatory, Paris, June 15–19 the second largest defense expo on earth. 120,000+ people, 60+ countries, every major prime and a full hall of disruptors under one roof.

And no, what you just watched isn’t AI. That’s a real autonomous swarm by @swarm_defense_

Counter-drone is the single hottest fight on that floor right now the radars, the jammers, the lasers and the interceptors built to put swarms exactly like that back on the ground. That’s where we start with $EOS.AX. In remote weapon systems, High Energy Laser Weapons (HELW) and much more. Loitering munitions and autonomous strike following the story.

From AI-enabled command and control, space-based ISR and secure comms to soldier man-to-man protection and optics. We are going to look at it all.

But the bigger question we’re flying to Paris to answer is the money one: Europe is committing well over a trillion to defense this decade and we’re there to see where it actually goes.

We’re sitting down with industry experts and management teams across the space.

This is the open of a proper deep dive into the defense sector. Not from a desk. From the floor. what’s actually being ordered, and where the money flows next.

Follow along trough our Substack.

@MarkosAAIG @citrini I am 101% sure this will give us so many behind the scenes insights in the space, huge.

[Jochem Verzijl - AAIG @JochemAAIG]

@TheBigBerbowski Does that include or exclude VAT?

[Jochem Verzijl - AAIG @JochemAAIG]

@TheBigBerbowski @MarkosAAIG I hate you 😆

[Jochem Verzijl - AAIG @JochemAAIG]

@TheBigBerbowski We will go through this together, don’t worry 😉

[Jochem Verzijl - AAIG @JochemAAIG]

Personally taking advantage of this weakness. Fundamentals have gone up, but price is clearly lagging behind. $miax. Transaction volume for options will increase a lot in the future. Bloomberg 500 index futures will be launched 7-8th of June as well.
