Monthly Report (September, 2020)

September (2020), first month in the last six months in red


Dear Copier and Followers,


the typically difficult September month ended with a loss of 2,22% in a month rather volatile and during which our Portfolio has been consolidating through the first actual Nasdaq correction since the March/April oil/Covid caused collapse.

We completed our third trading quarter of 2020 with a 3.91% profit, with a risk factor at an average of 3 with maximum of 4. Considering how complicated this quarter was I feel that this is a positive result.

The TLT we own produced very limited protection to the stock correction, which indicates that the FED is stealthily suspended its balance sheet expansion in order to gain some extra ammunition to use if the situation deteriorates further.
 
Trump is ill with Covid-19, how will this impact the stock markets and the presidential?
Hard to say, we will try to be ready for whatever comes our way during the next weeks.

Figure 1 shows the structure of our portfolio entering next quarter.

 

Figure 1: Portfolio composition

 

 The ETFs became the larger portion of the Portfolio composed mostly by protective assets such as TLT and XLU, and some volatile but recession prof assets such as gold miners GDXJ, and Barric Gold.

Figure 2 shows more into details the ETF structure.

 But we are stock traders after all, so a certain % of TQQQ will be how we will try to play the volatility of the markets and the bounds back up in the months to come.


Among the stocks we still hold are mostly gold miners such as Barric Gold, and promising for the future stocks that have been punished very heavily from the covid such as GWPH, Ba and Dal.

I would expect that gold will complete the current consolidation phase soon and begin to rise again, during years end and beyond, and I plane to gain some profits from it.

This is actually a good period to increase your copy because I believe we can gain some good profits from the high volatility we most likely see during the next 12 months of trading.


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. Long Term view On Figure 1 we take a long term view point, with the weekly chart of the Gold Spot prices taken from the eToro trading platform chart-system.

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...
