Portfolio update:
Volatility again is driving the markets. The daily swing in the $SPX500 and $NSDQ100 on Friday was more dramatic than the price at the end of the day indicated. I am continuing the strategy of investment in global value stocks, with a reserve of cash in USD and Euros together being around 25% and around 3% in crypto and 3% in gold/silver.
Many of the stock picks I have are deliberately uncorrelated with the US economy (a central cooling utility company in UAE, a regional bank in Norway, a Real Estate Trust in Europe, a Chinese property/life insurance company, etc etc). This is a very different strategy of having the US index, so I would expect a different outcome. My aim is to avoid, or at very least, greatly reduce the likelihood of a big drawdown.
There is always the effect of the tail wagging the dog however, in that if the US market drops it has an effect on everything. It is news from the US which seems to be the primary driver for global prices at the moment.
So just to summarise, I am happy with current portfolio during this time, I don't want to step out of the market, I may add to some positions if they get cheaper, and continue to review positions than have gained to see if they still hold future value.
This are my opinions and not investment advice.
