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

[Duarte 10]

I'll clarify what I have done so far.

 

I wrote in the first posts what I do.

 

I wrote this: "I determine my market posture through a careful analysis of the charts. I observe the market direction - up, down or sideways – with the S&P 500 index, Nasdaq 100 index, Dow Jones index, MSCI ACWI index, Dax index or other leader index where the stock acts. Acting in concert with the market direction, i increase my odds of success."

 

What I did first? I have carefully looked at the ACWI (iShares MSCI ACWI index Fund)

 

"The overall market direction is up since the beginning of June. The overall market fall a few days but now went back up and breakout has happened. The breakout suggests that the market direction continues upward. I'm still afraid to be buying in the worst month for the markets, but I also don´t want that the market run away without me. My market posture is bullish."

 

I wrote this: "When I expect the market will go up, my market posture is bullish. That means, I’m buying stocks and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). My market posture remains bullish until my "stop" is reached."

 

That's what I did. I bought stocks and ETFs.

[Duarte 10]

The overall market continues pointing in an upward direction. The ACWI (iShares MSCI ACWI index Fund) will continue to rise as long as it remains to build higher highs and higher lows.

I saw that the "U.S. Stock Portfolio" has an emergency stop wrong. Not updated the emergency stop of DCT, and still appears the emergency stop of NCT (7.58), it was already closed. As nobody noticed, I see that nobody is paying enough attention.

 

 

 

Buy alert:

 

 

DCT INDUSTRIAL TRUST INC (DCT) with emergency stop at 6,46.

Two additional tips to review before investing in a leveraged ETF

 

1. Decide first on the amount of leverage that is appropriate from 1x to 3x.

 

2. Before placing a trade, confirm the ticker. As this products have similar ticker between long and short version, double checking will prevent errors.

[Duarte 10]

As I have described, I observe the market direction in the indexes *, determine my market posture and I act in concert with the market direction. I think this is already assimilated by those who followed the portfolios until this point.

 

* Observe market direction in index or in ETF is the same thing, because the purpose of the ETF is to replicate the index.

 

On 09/04/2012 I observed the market direction through the ACWI (MSCI All Country World Index ETF) and later returned to do the same.

 

I not talked about ACWI, but from the description it is clear that is an ETF world.

 

When I analyze the global market, I use often this ETF.The ACWI is constituted by a large number of United States stocks (46.28%), UK stocks (8.25%), Germany stocks (3.14%) and stocks of various other countries.

 

Read about the ACWI: http://us.ishares.com/product_info/fund/overview/ACWI.htm

 

When my market posture is bullish in ACWI that means, almost always, bullish also in the United States and Germany.

 

Now that I clarified better this part. I thought it might be interesting to create a portfolio for my market posture and I did it. The market posture is the key piece of gear that makes portfolios to move.

I think I'll buy again SIRI, but I still don´t know when.

 

 

I think it's time to buy again SIRI, responded well to the MA (50).

I´ll sell DCT and buy SIRI with emergency stop at 2,32.

Examples of websites where you can search stocks/ETFs quotes :

I expect that overall market continues to go up, as long as the ACWI (MSCI All Country World Index Fund) continues to close above the previous low 47,20 and key support. If close daily below 47, 20, I consider the possibility of exit.

 

[Duarte 10]

The ACWI reached the previous low.

It is still too early to know if this is simply a few days of selling or the beginning of a deeper correction but I'll put the emergency stop closer to the current price in all ETFs and stocks.

The US Stock Portfolio has no open positions at this moment.

The five trades have reached the emergency stop.

 

[Duarte 10]

DAX ETF PORTFOLIO UPTDATE

 

[Duarte 10]

There are no open positions in the other portfolios.

All trades have reached their emergency stop.

 

[Duarte 10]

There is only an open position, EXS1 (DAX ETF PORTFOLIO)

[Duarte 10]

If the market falls, then it will be possible to buy at lower prices and that is positive.

At this time, all hypotheses are possible.

[Duarte 10]

The EXS1 ETF (DAX index) has reached its emergency stop.

 

At the moment there are no open positions in the portfolios.

My current market posture is neutral.

 

Below is the DAX ETF PORTFOLIO.

The following charts illustrate the evolution of the Portfolios since the beginning.

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

The QQQ ETF distributes dividends quarterly. The last dividend was 0,20 on 09/21/2012.

Qty * dividend = 59 * 0,20 = 11,80. This amount I added to the "Nasdaq 100 ETF PORTFOLIO."

“Actual Value”: 4277,63 + 11,80= 4289,43

“Closed trades”: 85,93 + 11,80= 97,73

 

Curiously it was after the dividend, that markets began to fall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The SPY ETF distributes dividends quarterly. The last dividend was 0,779 on 09/21/2012.

Qty * dividend = 28 * 0,779 = 21,81. This amount I added to the “S&P 500 ETF PORTFOLIO".

“Actual Value”: 4325,95 + 21,81= 4347,76

“Closed trades”: 85,93 + 21,81= 107,74

 

Curiously it was after the dividend, that markets began to fall.

 

 

 

 

 

The SSO ETF distributes dividends quarterly. The last dividend was 0,1180 on 09/25/2012.

Qty * dividend = 69 * 0,1180 = 8,14. This amount I added to the “S&P 500 DOUBLE-LEVERAGED PORTFOLIO ".

“Actual Value”: 4445,01 + 8,14= 4453,15

“Closed trades”: 205,01 + 8,14= 213,15

About a month ago, the ACWI rise after 11 days of declines. Now, there are also 11 days of declines, but the breakout not happened yet.

Maybe in a few days, I understand better what the market is doing.

The futures market is rising.

I guess that the pattern will be repeated and the market will rise.

My current market posture is bullish. This means that I´ll buy ETFs and stocks.

I'll buy the almost the same stocks and ETFs, but this time I will not use the emergency stop.

I´ll use the emergency stop at a later date.

 

So...

 

I´ll buy:

 

S&P 500 SPDRs (SPY) ETF

ProSharesUltra S&P 500 Fund (SSO) ETF

ProSharesUltraPro S&P 500 (UPRO) ETF

ProShares QQQ Trust (QQQ) ETF

ProSharesUltra QQQ Fund (QLD) ETF

ProSharesUltraPro QQQ (TQQQ) ETF

 

Rentech, Inc. (RTK)

Wilshire State Bank (WIBC)

8X8 INC (EGHT)

Sirius XM Radio Inc (SIRI)

LINKTONE LTD ADS (LTON)

 

I picked 5 stocks which are in concert with the market direction.

All of the stocks mentioned above increased their net cash provided by operating activities from 2010 to 2011.

I thought I had written this post here at 08:22 AM, about the same time I wrote for the thread "Portfolios (Gold and Silver) Stocks and ETFs", but some error happened and I copied this post again. I apologize for the delay, I don´t know what happened.

It made no difference because the markets have not risen, but my goal is to communicate the trades before market opening.

Below are the Portfolios.
