Portfolio Convenctial Wisdom 60% stocks, 40% bonds? Ha! / Stock-Markets / Investing 2022
By: EWI
In his February 2022 book, Last Chance to Conquer the Crash, Robert Prechter said:
Countless advisors have counseled "diversification," a "balanced portfolio" and other end-all solutions to the problem of allocating your investments. These approaches are delusional. ... No investment strategy will provide stability forever.
That certainly has applied to the classic 60% stocks / 40% bonds portfolio this year.

Are you Cut Out for Investing in Microcap Stocks? / Companies / Investing 2022
By: Stephen_McBride
By Chris Wood : I love microcaps.As a group, they generate 24.5% higher returns than bigger stocks, based off nearly 100 years of data.
They’re largely “undiscovered” by Wall Street, which means you can gain a real “information edge” 99% of the public isn’t privy to.
And unlike big stocks, you can get in on the “ground floor”... before the most explosive growth occurs.

MONEY PRINTING - How an Ugly Yellowish Machine Minted Fortunes / Companies / Investing 2022
By: Stephen_McBride
By Chris Wood : Have you ever been lucky enough to own a “tipping point” stock?
They can create extreme sums of wealth in relatively short periods of time.
The greatest tipping point stock in history handed early investors a 102,400% gain in 10 years. That turns every $1,000 invested into over $1 million.
We might never see anything quite like that again...

Small Cap Stocks - When cheap isn’t enough / Companies / Investing 2022
By: Stephen_McBride
This “behind the scenes” conversation is too good not to share…I recently sat down with RiskHedge Chief Investment Officer Chris Wood.
He’s the smartest guy I know when it comes to investing in early-stage disruptive companies.

The Only Stocks to Buy in a Recession / Companies / Investing 2022
By: Submissions
By Chris Wood : When you think of “recession-proof” stocks... what comes to mind?
Let me guess… toilet paper and toothpaste?
The widespread (but wrong) belief is companies that sell “essentials,” like Clorox or Johnson & Johnson, are the best way to ride out a recession.
No offense... but I’m not interested in making 5% on a toilet paper stock.

Feeding the Stocks Bear Market Beast / Stock-Markets / Investing 2022
By: Nadeem_Walayat
For some reason most folk when looking at the charts focus on the high vs the low as if investors only buy and sell at the exact highs and lows, well maybe the mania herd bought near the highs last year to sell near the lows this year but most intelligent investors don't invest that way i.e. during the second half of last year, I sold down 80% of my AI tech stocks portfolio in advance of this bear market, including warning virtually within a few percent of the high to get ready for a bear market during 2022 and maybe even worse a crash! That was on the 5th of December 2021!

I made lots of small across the board buys earlier in the the week with my main focus on Nvidia, HPQ, Logitec and Arrow, and 1 big buy - Samsung. Current state of my portfolio is 71% invested, 29% cash. Remember as stock prices go up so does the percent invested, similarly when stock prices fall the percent invested naturally drops.

Some of my friends switched energy providers to get better deals. Others drive to the next town over to get cheaper gas. It’s gotten so bad even the “six-figure club” have turned into penny pinchers...

By: Nadeem_Walayat
INFLATION! INFLATION! INFLATION!
The big questions for the US and how our US tech stocks will fair over the coming year are -
1. Does the Federal Reserve finally understand just how dangerous inflation actually is ?
2. If it does then how is it going to subvert the inflationary policies of the White house, does not matter which clown is in office i.e. democrat or republican, BOTH have tendencies towards rampant money printing given the 4 year election cycle.

How to Profit During a Bear Market - Portfolio Account / Stock-Markets / Investing 2022
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Back in early April I opened an IKBR ISA with £20k (ISA limit) that I proceeded to quickly populate with target stocks as they traded down to new bear market lows. ISA's limit what one can do, i.e. NO SHORTING, Options and no access to most ETF's due to HMRC rules, another restriction is one cannot hold US Dollars, every buy and sell has to be converted into and out of US dollars, so ISA's are definitely geared towards longer term investors. Anyway the IKBR ISA acts as a good real world proxy for how my public portfolio should perform if one followed my analysis, where the primary goal is to accumulate during this temporary bear market to capitalise on during the subsequent bull market, my expectations from the outset were that there WILL BE DRAWDOWNS because stock prices FALL during bear markets so as to result in the buying opportunities, stocks getting cheaper during a bear market is a good thing! Cheaper in terms of their valuations for if a stock price falls and the stock gets more expensive in valuation terms then that is NOT a good thing!
Current state of the IKBR ISA is up 12% since inception (Early April 2022) through following my analysis of buying target stocks when they trade down to NEW LOWS and then trimming lightly on the subsequent rallies, cash now comprises about 33% of this portfolio up from about 3% near the lows, as IKBR does not charge a rip off f/x fee as many brokers, for comparison FreeTrade charges 0.45%, AJ Bell 1% and Interactive Investor charge 1.5%, what are they smoking! AJ Bell recently cut their f/x fee to 0.75% but their platform is a pain in the butt to use for US stocks i.e. NO LIMIT ORDERS!

Stocks Bear Market Accumulation Strategy / Stock-Markets / Investing 2022
By: Nadeem_Walayat
My strategy for this bear market from the outset has been be to accumulate during a volatile trend to a probable Dow target of 29k to 30k where I settled on my best guess of 29.6k, by late August. In the course of which I was expecting volatile swings of between 15% to 30% in either direction that would allow me to BUY big during the DIPs and then SELL a portion of what I bought during the bear market rallies, as well as selective shorting. Unfortunately this bear market has tuned out to be LESS volatile than what I was expecting i.e. swings higher of 9% are just not enough for any significant trimming of positions as the table illustrates.

Today, I’ll show you why that’s a mistake.
Instead, you should focus on the single biggest driver of stock market returns, which I’ll share in a moment.
