Monthly Report (October, 2020)

October (2020), first month in the last Quarter

 

Dear Copier and Followers,

the interesting month of October ended, unfortunately the last few days of this month trading coincided with the per-election typical correction which reduced the gains to a negative 2.51%.

It's just a temporary effect though.

All in all, I believe we worked well during October, we increased our holding of safety assets such as TLT that have been correcting for most of the last 3 months and they are probably close to their temporary bottom.

Same goes for gold and gold miners that have been correcting more or less for the same amount of time, that's due to the fact that they are deeply connected and both connected with the Fed actions.

 We slightly increased our gold miners holding to position in preparation for what I expect to be a new upward run of the gold that might be beginning soon, maybe it's actually began the day I am writing this blog post, maybe it will take a few more months. Very difficult to place an accurate timing on such events.

 

Figure 1: Porfolio structure

 

The portfolio structure (Figure 1) shows that we started to increase stocks content and the ETFs.

Figure 2 shows they contained over 42% of TLT, over 7% of GDXJ/GLD and we began to position into TQQQ with nearly 6% holding to expose to the volatility and market gains which I believe will come during the next months (Figure 2)

 

Figure 2: ETF structure

 

If I manage to find some time I will release some posts about the very interesting situation with Gold and Nasdaq 100 and how the current situation can be interpreted.

 

As long as Biden or Trump win but can't control both Parliament chambers, I expect the market to go higher because the market hates change and uncertainty and any of the two candidate will be able to do much for the next two years if they have to pass their laws through an hostile parliament.

 

If the so called "Blue wave" were to happen (very unlikely), then I would expect a significant correction, which might follow shortly and that would be a great "buy the deep" scenario opportunity.

 

We will see how the situation develops but we tried to position our portfolio in a neutral stance in order to be able to readjust according to how the situation develops.

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 ...

Technical Analysis   I think that this is a good time to share with my readers and copiers my view on how the gold market evolved in recent time and related assets. Almost 4 months has past since my last Gold update, after the latest market development it's time to update our view. 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...
