PORTFOLIO UPDATE ✅ eToro Elite Popular Investor ✅ Market volatility increase ✅ Merry Xmas everyone! Only one week to go until the Christmas holidays and only four weeks to go before companies start to report their earnings over Q4 2024. Their future earnings expectations will show us how they view 2025 and this will be key to the direction markets will begin to move as the new year begins. The FED's JPowell lowered the rate cut expectations yesterday from four to two over 2025, causing the $NSDQ100 to drop by more than 3.6%. He even mentioned that the FED's next move could be a rate hike. Can they control inflation and a cooling labor market or are they simply reacting to the markets, trying to prevent melt downs (or melt ups)? In any case, these interest rate fluctuations cause many investors to move in and out of the markets and into real estate, gold, BTC, bonds and other commodities. It would be great for our portfolio if investors see other more profitable investments than stocks causing our short positions to become profitable. Yesterday's pull back is in no way the start of a big correction just yet as there are still too many FOMO investors looking to profit from this year's bullish trend and buying the 'dip'. Tomorrow will be the biggest OPEX ever with $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) options expiring, which will definitely move the markets. The options expiration week occurs on the Friday before the 3rd Saturday of each month usually causing quite some volatility. We could even start looking at gradually closing some short positions but I think stocks such as $FSLR (First Solar, Inc.) and $RDFN (Redfin Corp) will come down even further as soon as the whole market comes down. We will then revert to our original strategy of holding a bit more cash but only after the long awaited correction comes (even though I have been saying this for over a year now and November ended deep in the red). The markets will close earlier than usual next week on Tuesday 24/12 and the markets will be closed the whole day on Wednesday 25/12. Wishing everybody a wonderful Christmas and make sure to spend some quality time with your family! Once again, thank you new copiers and followers! Be patient and let's see what the coming years will bring us.
