February Portfolio

marked safe from Silver crash

February 01, 2026

First month of 2026 ended in a red candle. Nifty fell around 3% in January, while Sensex fell around 3.5%, midcaps and smallcaps were 3-5% in red for the first month. January also gave a big red candle to everyone’s dear precious metals, especially Gold and Silver.

On the 30th of January, Silver fell 26%+ in a single day, while Gold fell around 9%. Many investors got caught up in this fall since is fell on Friday after market close and by Monday, Silver had fallen a whopping 42%.

I turned out to be quite the lucky chap in all this fiasco, since I sold 90% of my Silver investments just 1-2 days prior.

SilverBees made a top closing at 352 on Thursday and I sold my holdings a day prior on Wednesday at 336. At no point did I expect Silver to give such a correction instantly, my entire selling basis on based on the fact that Silver had run up quite a lot and chart looked almost vertical and I did not want to end up going down the vertical line and my instinct decided to exit my position. One trade for my history books

Quick recap

  1. I’ve still not entered into smallcaps and midcaps, just holding onto largecaps.

  2. I’ve completely sold my Silver investments, not looking to enter at this prices again. Happy with profits. 😄 

  3. Have not sold any Gold, will keep buying systematically and not looking to encash SGB’s either and with the latest tax revision, it makes most sense for me to hold it till maturity.

  4. I’ve started allocating more towards equities for last 2 months and more specifically inclined towards 3-4 sectors for now. PSUBANK, METALS, FINANCIAL SERVICES is what I’m more allocated towards.

 😀

That’s it for February!
