The Good Bad and Ugly weekly review : 05 Aug 2022

Performance Update

WHY WE ALWAYS SAY – REACT ! DON’T PREDICT ?
None of the major issues that were labelled as ‘factors responsible for market weakness’ sometime ago have really met with a proper fruitful conclusion & yet markets are up around (+10%) in the last 1 month & about (+17%) since the recent bottom in mid June. Russia-Ukraine situation , China Taiwan tension, successive interest rate hikes from central banks, inflation woes are some of the issues that are still very much in the news today but markets have their own ways as we have always seen forever. We’re not sure many would’ve called out for a straight up (+17%) rally around Mid June. Now what to do with this rally ? Should we jump all in ? Will markets make a fresh all time high as we are only about 6% away from getting there. Well that’s the hope but can anyone really say with certainty ? We don’t think so.

So what to do ? The answer is simple – REACT. DON’T PREDICT. That has very much been the main philosophy here at WeekendInvesting where we only try to react to what is happening and do not try to sit and ponder over any sort of economic or political tension that may be brewing or taking center stage.

Nifty and other benchmarks were up between (+1.3%) & (+2%). Amongst the sectors – almost all were up between (+1) & (+3%) barring REALTY which stayed negative. METALS have seen an extraordinary rally in the last one month clocking (+20%).

The last one month has been superb for WeekendInvesting strategies which have been cruising ahead – thanks to the uptrend.
Mi 20 (+10.89%), Mi NNF 10 (+14.75%), Mi ATH 2 (+12.52%) & Mi EverGreen (+11.13%) have been the top performers in the last 30 days.

A SHORT COURSE to Help you Stay Calm in All Market Conditions

Usually, quick – sharp corrections amidst a Bull Run creates ambiguity in the minds of lots of new investors. The most important questions we often get asked is whether markets will crash from here ? Should we exit ? and few other questions like these. We have made several videos to help you clarify many such questions and help you have the RIGHT MINDSET for a rewarding journey in investing.

We have put together a few of our previous Daily Bytes which we think might be relevant for times like these. Do have a look and send us your thoughts, questions or comments if any.

The smallcase products are all LONG ONLY products that invest in various subsegments of the markets but have the momentum theme underlying in all of them. The strategies will pick strong outperforming stocks and remove weak ones once a week (except NNF10 which is monthly rebalanced)

These are all long term strategies that will create enormous wealth in each upswing and then maybe give some back in the downswing and repeating this process again and again achieving the compounding effect. With patience and grit to follow strategy over ups and downs over the last nearly five years it has been shown that much superior CAGR returns are possible than the benchmarks.
FY22 was also superb and I will let the numbers speak for themselves. You may read the Consolidated FY22 report.

STAIRS Revamped Models

We have launched revamped versions of our STAIRS models and we had made a video giving you a basic introduction to the models.

STAIRS is a LONG / SHORT derivative strategy that is designed to offer an uncorrelated diversification option to your equity portfolio. STAIRS will do well when there are up trends & also when there are down trends while giving up some of the gains when markets remain rangebound / volatile.

STAIRS models had yet another good week capitalizing on the up trend. You may go through the Weekly Review

All 4 STAIRS models go in line with our fundamental philosophy of making the most and compounding aggressively when markets give us trends and go very defensive as trends fizzle out and enter a rangebound territory thus providing a robust capital & profit protection.

Effectively – STAIRS is a complete trading system (Futures & Options) that covers each of the following decisions required for a successful trading outcome:

• Markets – What to buy or sell ?

• Position Sizing – How much to buy or sell ?

• Entries – When to buy or sell ?

• Stops – When to get out of a losing position ?

• Exits – When to get out of a winning position ?

We also run a dedicated telegram channel for STAIRS which you may join using this link
