𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 Merry Christmas to my ✅ 𝟏 copier and ✅ 𝟏𝟔 followers! The portfolio is up 𝟒.𝟏𝟏% so far in December. This proves that a 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞, 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐝 portfolio does not mean boring and unprofitable. 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐲 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐒𝐂𝐈 𝐬𝐮𝐛-𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫. It's not hard to have a green month if you just invest in tech stocks. The problem is your portfolio is then at the whims of a 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫. The last couple of months I nearly left eToro because they froze my account frozen due to my international travel. However, that's all in the past now. So I've taken the plunge and now fully funded the account. This week, I made the changes to the instruments I'm actively trading in the 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 sector. He's an update on what's changed and why. This part of the portfolio now contains: Alternative Carriers $CCOI (Cogent Communications Holdings Inc) Integrated Telecommunication Services $0728.HK (China Telecom) Wireless Telecommunication Services $TMUS (T-Mobile US Inc) Advertising $OMC (Omnicom Group Inc) Broadcasting $MMT.PA (Metropole Television SA) Cable & Satellite $CMCSA (Comcast Corp) Publishing $SCHL (Scholastic Corporation) Movies & Entertainment $SEAT (Vivid Seats Inc (Class A)) Interactive Home Entertainment $NTES (NetEase Inc.-ADR) Interactive Media & Services $MONY.L (Moneysupermarket.com Group PLC) The following instruments have been replaced: Alternative Carriers $LILA (Liberty Latin America Ltd.) Wireless Telecommunication Services $0941.HK (China Mobile) Publishing $NYT (The New York Times Co) Movies & Entertainment $LYV (Live Nation Entertainment Inc) In the case of $LILA, $NYT and $LYV, the other instruments have stronger fundamentals after recent performance of the companies. However, they're all strong stocks still, and so I may consider swapping them to make the most of volatility in the market if the opportunity arises. In the case of $0941.HK, there seem to be some problems trading this stock. It's not the only Chinese stock that seems to have trading or liquidity problems, so I'm lowering the proportion of stocks like this from the portfolio. So, that's my update for this week on 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬. Another change I made this week was I added 𝐆𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐬 to the portfolio as a hedge, and am exploring creating a 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐬 section. My next update will talk about these areas and how I'm evaluating 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐓𝐅𝐬. So, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤? I'd love to hear your thoughts and questions in the comments section below.
