The Good Bad and Ugly weekly review : 17 Feb 2023

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Markets reacted positively to the CPI data but could not surpass the resistance at 18200. The last two sessions of the week saw some active selling coming in which also saw Nifty closing inside the budget day range once again after breaking out briefly. As of now, it does seem like we are short on the demand side and may await stronger economic cues to get on the upward journey.

Most of the benchmarks remained flat this week. With less than 6 weeks to go for the end of this FY, things certainly do not look very bright with most of the indices remaining flat. We have been consolidating for a very long time now and a break out from here can lead to a very strong rally. As long term investors, we shall continue to remain patient and hope for good times ahead.

PSE (+1.9%) , INFRA (+1.7%) & COMMODITIES (+1.6%) were the top gainers of the week while REALTY & PSU BANKS continue to struggle at the bottom of the chart. The story of the week however is IT which has topped the 30 & 90 day performance chart clocking (+5.2%) & (+4.6%) respectively. This is the first time in a long long time that IT has outperformed all other sectors across any timeframe. This proves the relative strength of this sector which may see a stronger uptrend when it happens.

Most of the WeekendInvesting strategies remained in line with the benchmarks recording a flattish to negative performance barring a few. The performance is updated below.

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 question we often get asked is whether markets will crash from here. Should we exit? and a 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 Mi NNF10, Mi EverGreen & Mi India Top 10 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 repeat 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.

We give advance notice here on the upcoming changes in your smallcase for Monday. This advance notice can be used to ignore Monday’s update if there is no change. If there is a change indicated you can use the smallcase app or log in to weekendinvesting.smallcase.com to see the rebalance. A backup email is sent by mid-day Monday if you have not rebalanced by then and yet another one a day later.

Note: We are not including LIQUIDBEES as an ADD or an EXIT count.

The performance of all strategies across various timeframes are listed below.
