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.

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: 21st November 2024. Gold Regains Momentum as NVIDIA Delivers a Revenue Surge! NVIDIA beat earnings expectations, and nearly doubled revenue on an annual basis. NVIDIA stocks dip slightly despite strong earnings and a strong forecast for the current quarter. Analysts expect market participants to purchase the dip. The Japanese Yen wins back some ground as Bank of Japan Governor indicates the regulator will be willing to hike to support the FX market. Gold, Silver and other Metals all rise due to predictions of high retail and institutional demand and geopolitical tensions remaining high. NASDAQ – NVIDIA Surpasses Earnings Expectations! The NASDAQ took a sudden dip on Wednesday measuring 1.50%, however, investors quickly took the opportunity to purchase at the lower price as most indicators fell to give an oversold indication. As a result, the NASDAQ ended the day only slightly lower than the open price, but downward momentum remains this morning. The downward momentum is partially due to geopolitical tensions which are on the rise. Yesterday, Ukraine fired UK-made missiles into Russia and fired US-made the day before. There are also reports and speculations that Russia has sent ICB Missiles into Ukraine for the first time. However, reports are not confirmed, and there are signs of certain stocks recovering. Currently, there is no economic data which is driving the lack of demand, therefore investors are mainly concentrating on NVIDIA earnings. NVIDIA beat earnings expectations by 8.50% and revenue by 5.90%. Investors were particularly impressed by the significantly higher revenue which has almost doubled annually. In addition to this, the forecast given for the current quarter came in relatively strong. Lastly, the CEO, Jenson Huang, said to Bloomberg that demand exceeds supply but the company is setting in place measures to boost supply in order to meet the high level of demand. Taking into consideration the strong earnings, positive tone and upbeat forecasts for the coming quarter, many may wonder, “why is the stock declining 2.50% during this morning’s Asian session?”. This is partially due to the lower risk appetite, but also due to certain forecast expectations for NVIDIA not being met. The average NVIDIA forecast expectations from Wall Street firms was $37.1 billion, which NVIDIA comfortably surpassed. However, certain firms had expectations as high as $41 billion. Based on these higher expectations, the company underachieved and could trigger a lack of demand from this sector of Wall Street. Though many analysts continue to expect shareholders to purchase the lower price as long as the stock market will remain favorable.   EURJPY – BOJ To Consider Hike! The EURJPY declines for a second consecutive day, particularly gaining bearish momentum after this morning’s Bank of Japan press conference. The main takeaway from the press conference was that the Governor told journalists that the BOJ was willing to hike interest rates in the upcoming months but decisions will be made meeting by meeting. The Bank of Japan’s decision to raise interest rates in July was influenced in part by the weak Yen, which had driven up import costs and inflation. At the Europlace Financial Forum in Tokyo, Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized that exchange-rate fluctuations are a key consideration in shaping economic and inflation forecasts. He noted that the central bank carefully examines what is driving these currency changes when assessing their impact. The EURJPY now trades below the 75-Bar Exponential Moving Average and below the 50.00 on the RSI. In addition to this, the exchange rate continues to form lower swing lows while the Euro underperforms against most currencies. These indications point towards a potential downward price movement.   Gold – Geopolitical Tensions Send Gold on a Bullish Path! Gold has increased in value for a fourth consecutive day, driven largely by geopolitical tensions. Additionally, the absence of significant US economic news has left markets uncertain about the Federal Reserve’s next move. Gold is currently witnessing an active buy signal from most momentum-based indicators due to the strong bullish momentum. For example, traders are able to see the price trading above the Bollinger Band, within a bullish moving average crossover and significantly high on most oscilators. However, investors should note as the price increases, the asset can become overbought and this may trigger a retracement, a correction or sideways price movement. In terms of geopolitical tensions, hopes for a Middle East ceasefire are being tempered by Russia’s revision of its nuclear doctrine, which aims to strengthen its borders after the US-approved long-range strikes from Ukraine reached deep into Russian territory. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s re-election has yet to significantly influence the conflict, though markets remain optimistic about potential positive developments following his January 20 inauguration.
