Interesting Developments About the Stock Markets

I've been checking the charts of most of the major indices and stocks that I follow. It appears that many emerging market indices and stocks have the weekly charts turning positive in the MACD. However, the monthly charts are still negative. This means that there's a high probability that we will see a rally lasting one to three months, with upside of 5 to 15% before we see another leg down. Therefore this rebound, that started in January 2019, is likely to last till March.

The European index is not far away. It is at neutral in the mid term. We may also see a rally. The S&P500 has the most downside and we could see a similar rally before slamming down.

I believe we have seen the bottom of EM and Asia x Japan indices. There may be another leg down but it may not be a lower low! Huge revelations.

For Europe, we may see another leg down but we may break below the last low. For S&P500, it's the worst. It is likely to see a further 10 - 15% leg down.

The indices leading the recovery is likely to be Asia ex Japan and Emerging Markets this time due to valuations. It will be similar to 2011 - 12 recovery.

Incidentally, one of my apartments is going through en bloc and I believe the odds are very high. There are several developers chasing after my building for strategic reasons and it is not a case of getting 80% and going through an auction not knowing who will bid. This is a case of developers wanting my building and if we clear 80% we will definitely get sold.

My Funds Portfolio 14 Jan 2021

Image
  Below is the overall performance of my funds. For CPF, I put everything into funds. I refuse to buy SGD stocks because you should see the performance of MSCI Singapore below. In the last 1 year, the performance was down 5.9%. it is only this year that the performance went up slightly but it is still down. If I had used my CPF and cash to buy SGX listed companies I would have done at best 5% even with superior stock picking.   Look at the other indices. MSCI world is up 16.1%, S&P500 is up 18.0%, China is up 38.6%, Europe up 6.2%, MSCI Asia ex Japan up 28.2%. NASDAQ was of course the best performer with 44.7%. So the growth is NOT in Singapore. It is either in the US or Asia, mainly China. Even the best companies from Singapore are listed in NASDAQ, e.g. SEA Ltd. We have become the “forgotten man” or “sick Man” of Asia in terms of stock markets.       The average performance of my funds are 25.8%. this is unrealised return and doesn’t include realised gains. I’ve held them through

Lessons in Life

 I've worked with lots of people. Some are my good friends. I thought we could collaborate together. But somehow, maybe they found better opportunities elsewhere, decide to cast me aside and work with others. Some, don't add value but still want to be my equal partner. Others, limit their collaboration with me, denying me other opportunities.  The best way to act is to show every inch of gratitude I can to everyone. First, the one that opens doors and work with me wholeheartedly, I shall wholeheartedly contribute and ensure that the pie is greater than not dividing with me and working alone.  For those who opened a door and then decide to limit collaboration, I shall still be thankful, have gratitude. Whatever someone gives me in good faith, no matter how little, I shall still do my best.  For those who shut the door, I bear no grudges for I am thankful we have met.  This is the path I've chosen to walk, without regrets.

Performance Attribution

 My portfolio comprises stocks and funds from various gurus and teachers. Here is the description of each one. I shan't name them for fear of being accused of promoting one over the other.  Guru 1: 15 years of track record. Averaged 25% per year return. Highly transparent and informed me of every trade.  Result: from 23 Mar 21 to now.  4.8% return.  Guru 2: 10 years of track record with 30% return per year. Gives me a black box type of system based solely on momentum. Scans through the NASDAQ for the top five momentum stocks.  Result: -15.04%.  Guru 3: Internet sensation with almost 1 million followers. Personal friend. Made 3x in 2020 due to investments in speculative tech companies like SEA Ltd, Tesla, ARK Genomic Revolution, Lemonade, Square.  Result: - 13.2% Guru 4: 12 years of track record of around 7.7% return per year.
