July (2020), fourth profitable month in a row



Dear Copier and Followers,

I am glad to announce that we have completed the fourth month in a row in profits.

The month of July concluded with about 3,75% of profits.

We continued to work to stabilize the Risk Factor which now is back to an average of 3 and maximum value of 4.

This month we tried to be rather aggressive, we moved to from record of about 40% cash to a very low level of 6% within a few weeks, then we started to move out again from some trades locking in some good profits.

The market seems to begin giving signs of euphoria, partly justified from the blowout quarterly reports of the big tech companies, anyway many issues are still on the horizon from the exploding small corporate debts, to the presidential elections, Brexit and the development of Covid.

It's easy to predict that the volatility will continue to be higher than average which means also high risks of corrections, for this reason we will keep a very high level of protection as you can see from the Figure 1, 2 and 3 that show a bit more how our portfolio was structured the last trading day of July.


Figure 3: Stocks structure (Note: the largest Stock is Barric Gold)


The Boeing stock is also one of the largest holding in this current portfolio. I believe that the worst news have been released with this earning call, and the cascade of downgrades is approaching it's peak.
After it bottom, I am expecting a period of consolidation, difficult to predict, after that a steady rise of at least 100% in value during the second half of the next year.

We also shopped a bit of BTC.

From now on in order to help my reader to keep track of what's going with the yearly performance, I will begin to release a sort of Quarterly Earnings for this Portfolio, just like Corporations do.

Summary

First quarter: 54,51% Loss (this quarter was impacted with a big loss due to the Covid and oil induced market collapse which hit very hard BA and many other stocks).
Second quarter: 21%
Third quarter: currently going on, started with a 3,75% profits for July. 


I thank my Copiers and Followers for the confidence and I wish you a great time moving forward.

Daniele

Monthly Report (April, 2020)

April's month back to profit. Dear Copier and Followers, After the last week of February and the first two weeks of March, our portfolio rich on very volatile titles fell to what I believe is our Portfolio's bottom and started to recover. We completed the month of April with a profit slightly above 14%, the lose from the beginning of the year is about 41%. Figure 1 shows the structure of the Portfolio that will begin the trading month of May. Figure 1: PortFolio composition The stocks composition is still quit low since I believe the run up was a bit too fast and the market will need some time to consolidate and digest the gains. If you want to read more of my opinion on this subject you can read my recent entry on the Nasdaq here: Nasdaq analysis (24.04.2020). There is a new entry on our PortFolio which is the currencies, I normally don't trade currency pairs but due the very special situation we are observing I was compelled to begin trading the pair ...

If you are interested to check out my previous analysis, here it is: Gold Analysis 29.12.2019. Gold Spot Price Analysis The evolution of the Gold Spot prices gives a very good indication of what has happened in recent time in the market and it can also give clear indications on when one market phase is ending and a new phase is starting.

Quarterly Report (2021)

  I quarter (2021), a quarter of correction and consolidation Dear Copier and Followers, we began the first quarter of the 2021, with a long and relatively frustrating period of consolidation and correction, we recorded a 5.9% decline, which in my opinion is a good opportunity to increase the copy amount because I expect this to be the bottom quarter for our Portfolio for the year 2021. The stock component of our PortFolio are on prevalence composed by technology assets. Even though this assets class is predicted to under perform cyclical and industrial assets, I like to trade their higher volatility. On this regard this is actually the best period to trade them with a high turn over and take advantage of a VXN above 25 on a regular basis. We have stored a significant amount of cash, about 30% of the portfolio that will be used if a good opportunity will occur and to quickly rotate capitals in and out of assets.   What went down? All of what could be defined as hedge assets: T...
