Hi all!
EOW 08
Portfolio performance up to date (Starting 10th of March 2017) = 6.05
Market performance (ASX200 Accumulation) up to date from 10th March 2017 = -0.06%
Today was a terrible day on the market, what a way to end the financial year!
Actions this week:
Sold off BBOZ yesterday just before the market went sour today.... My decision to sell BBOZ was due to us coming towards the end of the tax selling period and that my original intention of the BBOZ trade was not enacting anytime soon (in the next 1-3 months). If we had BBOZ today, that would've been awesome... but it could've gone the other way too. As July is normally a seasonally strong month + the surge of capital flowing into super fund accounts due to regulatory changes which will be invested in the coming month. I am still happy with my decision to sell.
We topped up our position in APX after it closed on $4.00 yesterday, injected another 3.33% of my capital into that trade after it displaying some strength (again) in recent times.
We have ended the financial year with a out performance of 6.11% in a period of 4 months. Now that we are heading into the new financial year and I have managed to knuckle down the way i track my performance, how i manage my trades and various techniques to improve on, I cannot wait for the new financial year to begin and start recording my portfolio for the full financial year (and many more) going forward.
CTD and ALL have hit their stop loss today on a massively down day but I decided not to sell the stocks as the negativity in their share prices were due to the overall market being down and a contagion effect from the US market last night. HOWEVER I will be keeping a close eye on them next week, especially CTD which is sitting on a relatively high P/E of 47.34 compared to industry peers of 24.63.
July will be a very interesting month as mentioned before, the super industry have experience a huge inflow of capital due to the changing regulations and investors trying to get their $540,000 contributions in before the EOFY. Along with that, history shows that July is normally a seasonally strong month as the tax selling and restructuring of portfolios by investors and fund managers subside. Me thinks this July will be even stronger in comparison to previous years. Do note that risk across the globe is slightly elevated such as Trump's inability to push through reforms or keep to his promises, Geopolitical risk in the Middle East, China sea and North Korea, equities across markets are considered "Over-valued" by many professionals and the end of the "Easy money" as central banks start to unwind their monetary policy easing - could potentially see inflated asset price come off.
We will be riding the uptrend until the all comes tumbling down Expensive stocks can become MORE expensive and cheap stocks can become MORE cheaper - 101 Trend following.
One thing that I am looking forward to in my portfolio are my gold stocks - NST and SAR. The greenback against the Aussie is widening due to overall weakness in the USD, I am expecting for the USD to start improving against the AUD as the fed starts raising and erasing the premium gap that Australian bonds have over the US bonds. This would bode well for the aussie goldies as they would benefit from a stronger USD once they translate the currency back. One thing that could stop that from happening would be if the resource sector starts running hot against due to the Chinese property market, which would elevate the AUD, the commodity currency. Geopolitical risk has not be in the newspapers as much as it was 2-3 months ago but that does not mean that it has subsided and we are still erring on the side of caution.
Have your portfolios done well in FY2016-17?
IF there is something that you have learnt about yourself in the last 12 months and you know how to apply that to investing to improve your outcome, what better time is there to implement the changes than the start of a new financial year!? I know I have learnt a lot more about investing/trading and also on my personality and I still have a long long road ahead of me, but I am excited to meet new challenges head on as new doors start opening for myself!
Have a happy new financial year!
Warm regards,
Ryan
