Portfolios (S&P500, Nasdaq 100, DAX, US Stocks)

Recommended Posts

As was observed before, it seems that the ACWI (iShares MSCI All Country World Index Fund) is following the same pattern.

I expect that overall market (USA, Germany,...) continues to go up, as long as the ACWI continues to close above the previous low 46,48 and key support. If close daily below 46,48 I consider the possibility of exit.

The following charts provide an overview of the portfolios evolution since the beginning.

 

The black line illustrates the evolution of the portfolio and the blue line shows an exponential moving average.

(Updated on Fridays)

 

I made a small correction: On October 5, the stock LTON closed at 2, 54, but I updated the portfolio with the day low price (2, 47).

The portfolio chart has already been corrected.

I have wanted to try trade without any stop loss because I take a long time to put the stop loss in all assets but the market fell and I took time to act.

In rare situations I'll consider the possibility to buy and sell partial positions and I will not use the amount that I have determined at the start. (4000 USD or 3200 EUR) This would have been one of these situations.

I'll spend more money on commissions, but I'll protect the portfolio.

The recent fall in NASDAQ reflects the great dependence on and affinity with the movements seen on the Apple which, by its turn influence the remaining indexes (S&P 500, DAX). This fall shows us that we can look quickly at the Apple chart to help us in market analysis.

Both have the possibility of having the same formation (Head and Shoulders) with the difference that Appl broke down one day before as compared with the NASDAQ.

 

 

Now, I'm going to wait the confirmation that the rising support trend line in Appl is broken.

I'll start a New Portfolio.

 

In the “All ETFs Portfolio” I trade ETFs of all markets and indexes in the world.

The great majority of Exchange Traded Funds/Indexes that I´ll trade are leveraged, which makes this portfolio a very high risk portfolio.

My goal is to follow market trends, and with a higher risk achieve a higher return.

 

The portfolio is composed by 5 ETFs.

I sold the stocks for different reasons:

 

1. I think the markets can go down a few days (Maybe one or two days?)

2. To be possible for me to buy others stocks.

3. LTON´s average daily volume of transactions has remained low and also because the stock it is near to a horizontal line resistance.

Despite the low trading volume I don´t put aside to buy again the stock.

4. EGHT and WIBC not rose as much as I expected. I want to buy stocks that go up a little faster.

Today, for example, I had predicted that market was going to fall but I hold the vast majority of positions in the portfolios.

This is because I have many open positions and I wouldn't have time to do many updates.

I will hold the great majority of positions as long as I believe that the trend will continue.

The NASDAQ 100 fell -1, 54% this week, which reflects the considerable weight of the Apple in this index and its great dependence on and affinity with the movements seen on the Apple. If the Apple continues to drop, the market will be unable to rise because the NASDAQ influences the remaining indexes.

The Apple support lines have been broken, which is a bad sign.

The Apple fell the last four consecutive weeks, which does not happen often. Since 2009, this is the third time this happens.

In the last two times, the market has recovered very rapidly.

The MSCI All Country World Index Fund continues to have higher lows and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF is close to the 50 days moving average where, since June, has reacted positively.

This week’s poll of its members by the American Association of Individual Investors is at 44, 5% bearish, only 28, 7% bullish.

The traditional interpretation of sentiment readings is contrarian, meaning that AAII Investor Sentiment is giving a possible bullish signal.

 

It is difficult to predict what will happen, but I still think that the market will rise.

S&P 500 should keep rising!

There has been a lot of good news coming out of the US on the economy front with the Fiscal Cliff deal being reached being one. There is also very encouraging Non Farm Payrolls numbers, although the unemployment rate has has persistently remained high.

The Fiscal Cliff agreement being reached has surely avoided the much feared double dip recession and now investors can stop worrying and turn their attention to the next round of corporate earnings announcements.

Wall Street is long on the index!:)

    • Date: 13th May 2024. Market News – Stock markets traded mixed; Flat USD ahead of US CPI.   Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Japanese government bond yields surged to multi years highs after the BOJ’s unexpected move to decrease the quantity of bonds it typically purchases during routine operations, signaling a more hawkish stance to the markets. BOJ Kato stated that it’s natural that monetary policy will revert to positive interest rates, while BOJ Governor Ueda signalled the potential for multiple rate hikes ahead. Chinese authorities have kicked off plans to sell $140bn of long-dated bonds on Friday, in order to support investment in key areas and reinforce economic momentum in the second quarter amid the country’s lengthy property crisis. US government plans to raise tariffs to a raft of Chinese exports were weighing on sentiment. BlackRock stated: The Yen’s weakness is turning foreign investors away from Japanese stocks. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex is steady at 105 lows, at 105.58 ahead of US CPI on Wednesday, while USDJPY is holding at 155.80, after retesting May’s high at 155.96. EURUSD steady above 1.0750 as the euro zone prepares for an inflation reading of its own on Friday. USOIL declined amid demand concerns and as traders looked ahead to an OPEC+ meeting on supply policy. On the supply front, the Iraqi Oil Minister initially claimed that production cuts were adequate and opposed further reductions but later deferred decisions to OPEC. Next OPEC+ meeting: June 1. Currently USOIL is at $77.78. Gold corrected to $2349 per ounce, from $2380 highs. Market Trends:   Asian stocks fluctuate between gains and losses, as sentiment was impacted by disappointing Chinese economic data alongside optimism amid reports indicating that the country plans to initiate the sale of ultra-long bonds. European markets are also narrowly mixed in opening trade, while US futures are slightly higher. The NASDAQ is outperforming. Bonds are finding buyers and the 10-year Treasury yield is down -1.0 bp, while Bund and Gilt yields have corrected -1.3 bp and -2.3 bp in early trade. Always trade with strict risk management.
