The Good Bad and Ugly weekly review : 29 Apr 2022

Performance Update

This week was all about volatility & wild gaps with no continuation of trend on either side. While FIIs have continued to sell aggressively, domestic inflows have sort of kept the markets afloat. We are looking at positive cues globally for a potential up move going forward. Smallcaps took a beating , losing (-2.34%) while other benchmark indices stayed in the range of (-0.8%) to (-1.3%). Amongst the sectors, IT continued on it’s downtrend losing (-2.5%). IT has now fallen by a massive (-12.5%) in the last one month. There was some profit booking in ENERGY which has been on a tremendous up trend since quite a long time. Defensive sectors like FMCG clocking about 7% in the last month may not be the most encouraging sign but we will have to wait and see how markets go after this volatile phase. Whatever may be the scenario – We at WeekendInvesting are fully prepared to tackle any situation with time tested strategies that are designed to protect capital if and when markets enter a weak territory.
This week – WeekendInvesting strategies also took a beating with Smallcap based Smallcases facing maximum damage. We hope this choppiness will end and pave way for fresh up trends. 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 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.

After witnessing good trends, STAIRS models took a bit of beating last week – thanks to insane choppiness. You may go through this report to read through the Weekly Report

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 ?
