The Good Bad and Ugly weekly review : 29 Jul 2022

Performance Update

The SMILES are certainly BACK after witnessing nifty climb above 200 DMA after testing our patience for quite sometime. The last year has been a tough one and this should do a whole lot of good in terms of bringing back some optimism. Nifty still has to show strong momentum to climb above the recent lower highs which act as immediate resistance zones. But – hold on. As practitioners of momentum investing, we try to follow the markets rather than working based on assumptions or predictions. We stay either in CASH (absolute momentum) or allocate to the strongest stocks (rotational momentum) when markets show weakness and try to capitalize whenever there is an uptrend. Check out this video to know more about the difference between ROTATIONAL & ABSOLUTE Momentum.

Nifty is almost up (+13%) from the recent bottom on 17 June 2022 & is also up (+2.62%) in the past week. All other benchmark indices have performed in line with Nifty barring the smallcaps which are yet to show similar kind of momentum. METALS witnessed an incredible rally in the past two days to clock (7.69%) in the past week & most sectors fared well returning between (+1%) & (+4%). FMCG & AUTO were negative this week but are still in top 2 when you look at the performance in last 3 months. WeekendInvesting strategies have done quite well to capitalize on the recent up trend. CASH levels on absolute momentum strategies are gradually coming down while Rotational momentum strategies are doing very well with Mi NNF 10 leading the charge.

Cruising ahead with Mi NNF 10

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.

Rebalance Update

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.

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.

STAIRS models had yet another good week capitalizing on the up trend. You may go through the Weekly Review

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
