The Good Bad and Ugly weekly review : 30 Sep 2022

Performance Update

• Another tough week for the Markets as consolidation continues . . Nifty broke below the important 200 DMA and fortunately got a strong candle on 30th Sep to close just above 200 DMA. Nifty faces resistance around the receding trendline of lower highs & crossing the same will be very important to set the tone for journey towards a fresh all time high.
• Nifty Next 50 was hit the hardest losing 2.3% while rest of the benchmarks dropped by around 1% to 1.5%. In the last month, Smallcaps have been relatively stronger having dropped (-0.94%) while the larger caps have lost about (-3%) to (-3.75%). In Q2 FY 2023, Nifty Jnr topped the charts clocking (+16.1%) while Nifty 50 was the weakest at (+8.3%). A solid solid quarter for sure .
• IT was a surprise clocking (+1.4%) especially considering the sector’s recent trend and also the overall market weakness last week. Apart from IT and PHARMA (+2.86%) most other sectors closed the week in negative territory. In Q2 FY 23, METALS (+23.76%) & PSU BANKS (+23%) topped the charts while IT was the only sector to close out in negative zone (amongst the sectors we track)
• WeekendInvesting strategies had to bare the brunt of the sharp fall this with many strategies giving up some good gains achieved in the recent rally. Despite that, we still are happy as we close out this quarter with some very good results. Mi ATH 2 – after a poor start last year, seems to have picked up some momentum while topping our quarterly charts with a superb (+25.6%) gain. Overall it has been a very good quarter and we hope to see another bout of trends in the next two.

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.

We give an advance notice here on the upcoming changes in your smallcase for Monday . This advance notice can be used to ignore Monday update if there is no change. If there is a change indicated you can use the smallcase app or login to weekendinvesting.smallcase.com to see the rebalance. A back up 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 for the week and the month for all the smallcases is presented below.

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.

You may go through our latest weekly report for more details.

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
