I follow a quarterly schedule unless there’s a huge market event. MonitrexPRO makes rebalancing painless—it shows current vs target allocations and lets me adjust in a few clicks. That way I’m not making emotional decisions in the moment, just following a plan. The platform’s reminders help too.

Over the past few years, I’ve been following the rapid growth of DED additive manufacturing and metal additive manufacturing technologies, and the advancements are incredible. One area that’s really exciting is directed energy deposition — it’s enabling companies to repair, enhance, and produce complex metal components faster and with less waste.

I’ve seen it applied in aerospace, defense, and even energy sectors, where the ability to work with both wire and powder feedstocks allows for unmatched flexibility in production. These technologies aren’t just buzzwords — they’re actively reshaping supply chains and improving sustainability in manufacturing.

Is anyone here currently working with Directed Energy Deposition or metal additive manufacturing in their business? I’d love to hear your thoughts on its potential over the next few years.
