Macchia69 @Macchia69: "Just completed the weekly stats..."

Italy

Just completed the weekly stats and, as usual, despite a decrease in the realised value of the portfolio this past week, there has still been growth in the unrealised value. However, what is happening is that the gap between realized and unrealized values is widening, with a potential +20% drop if the portfolio were to be liquidated now. The strategy relies on the value of the $UK100 oscillating within the confines of a grid, currently set at 7000 and 8200. The current value of the index is 8153, and the stop-loss for the open trades is set to trigger at 8250, with approximately $40,000 still in reserve to extend those stop-losses well beyond 8500. This post serves two objectives: Firstly, I want to reassure the copiers and, if anything, entice new copiers, as entering the copy at this exposure level has historically been the most profitable. Not only am I fairly confident that the index will not continue to grow indefinitely, but I also believe there will be enough fluctuations to allow lower positions to be closed without losses. Additionally, I want to remind you that I am already in the process of shifting the midpoint upwards, as it is becoming evident that the "back to equity business" move, following the COVID-War interval, is well underway. Secondly, I want to once again draw the copiers' and potential copiers' attention to the fact that my strategy is not a low-risk one. Investing using grid patterns in the UK100 rather than in the $NSDQ100, $TSLA (Tesla Motors, Inc.) or $OIL makes it less dangerous, but it still is something to be careful with. As I am more of a right-brain person and think better in images than words, I have decided to AI an image (attached) that describes graphically what I do. The racing car symbolises performance, and the green fields represent times when the going is easy, with the index closer to the midpoint. However, the lava abyss is always present, something that all investors should keep in mind when evaluating the portfolio. Personally, I have a high tolerance for risk and can accept racing at the edge of the abyss. I can do so because only a small part of my interests are on the line on the eToro platform. I have often, and continue to, advise copiers not to put all their eggs in my basket, but I also believe that putting some eggs here is a good idea, much like eating chocolate in moderation as part of a balanced diet is very fulfilling. Soon, the tide will turn, and the gap between the two reported profits will close again. After that, I will begin moving the grid up, and with that, I expect profits to continue rolling in for years to come. Those who stay true to the course will likely be rewarded, but whether to invest or not is a very personal choice linked to circumstances beyond what I can know. Good investing and good weekend.
