The Good Bad and Ugly weekly review : 13 Apr 2022

Performance Update

Nifty Jnr was the only benchmark index to close this short three day week in green with (+1.24%) returns. Rest of the indices gave up some of the gains from the the continuous up leg witnessed from 8th Mar 2022. For Nifty 50 – 18100 acts as the immediate resistance zone while the 200 DMA may be the immediate support level. FIIs seem to be back on their selling spree with 6 continuous sell offs while DII have managed to provide a bit of counter balance with some buying. This has been the trend for quite some time now. Amongst the sectors, ENERGY (+2.63%) & FMCG (+1.6%) showed some strength while others stayed relatively dull. ENERGY stocks seem to be on a fabulous run showing strong trends especially in the last month with (+12.76%) gains.

Mi NNF 10 – an up to 10 stocks rotational momentum strategy that picks up trends from the Nifty Jnr Index, made the most out of the strong trend in Nifty Jnr Index returning (+3.38%) this week while rest of WeekendInvesting Smallcases remained flat to negative. Mi NNF 10 has also raced to a superbly strong (+8.42%) in the very first couple of weeks of FY 23. This favorite strategy of ours can be an amazing core strategy for long term wealth creation. This strategy also clocked it’s first 6x multi-bagger in ADANITRANS & we covered this in our Daily Byte. Please do have a look. Overall, we look happy couple of weeks into FY 23. We will further need some positive cues to see another leg of up trend going forward. The performance is tabulated 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.

The above image shows how Nifty has traded in the current Calendar Year between 01 Jan 2022 and 13 Apr 2022 (a period of 3 & half months). If you look at the net returns, Nifty has stayed flat with close to (0%) returns in this period. But if you notice from the above image, we have had some good trends both on the upside & downside which is exactly what STAIRS sets out to capture. Basically we make money when markets trend upwards , also make money when markets trend downwards & give up some gains & protect capital with strict position sizing rules when markets trend side ways with volatile choppy moves.

During the same period of 3 & half months when Nifty has stayed flat at 0% – STAIRS Options AIT model is up (+25%), STAIRS Options EXP model is up (+42.5%) , STAIRS Options BUY model is up (+101.6%) & STAIRS FUT model is up (+22.4%).
You may have a look at the detailed past performances here & also access the live performance of the models from the STAIRS HUB.

All 4 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 ?
