Investment Information 10

Well that rounds out the 10-part series! But it is fairly fun, so I think I'll continue to do it. We hit this milestone on a SGT Friday night, no less, ready to go into the last trading day of the week!

This clip mentioned an idea of back-testing. And I find this was actually helpful before I first entered my position. Back-testing allows me to verify my hypothesis.

Scrolling more, I discovered another channel Sully's Advice which may be useful to learn Risk Management

Risk Management

  1. Win Rate Strategy - win 8 of 10 trades. But 1:1 risk:reward ratio.
  2. Risk:Reward Strategy - 1:2 ratio, win 5 of 10 trades.

Dude did 3 year back-test, usually going for 1:2, but sometimes 1:1. So it seems like having a strategy, testing it before applying would be very useful.

Portfolio Distribution

For this, I read that ideally you don't want to have more than 2% in a single stock. But is that different for Magnificent Seven?

Part 11: Temperance

This is a short update so probably just write it here. I think it's prudent to wait out before trying to buy in. Maybe:

  1. Backtesting further
  2. Learning new strategy

Might help. But for today, let's wait for the market to do its thing, which is, only buy in after a green 1% up bar appears from the minimum point. Along with StochRSI and MACD indicators. Still have my eye on GOOGL and TSLA

Part 12: Back-testing Pelosi'$ trades

It seems considering the prices she buy and sell, for normal stock trade is poor. I did this comparing the announced trade dates and volumes of her / spouse. Then I checked the price of the stock on those days and calculated her annual returns. Generally it does a lot poorer than S&P.

Part 13: Tesla(?)

Instead of finding one video that dives into the fundamentals of Tesla, I found one that talks about fundamental analysis of stocks in general. At least from this video, his stock picks have 80% moon success rate! Here are the 10 key areas he scores over 100:

  • 3Y Revenue: grow (10)
  • Net Profit Margin: > 10% (10) / 5% (5) / less (0)
  • 3Y Cash: increase (10)
  • Assets to Liabilities
  • Cash:Debt
  • Short Interest: < 5% (10) / <10% (5) / >10% (0)
  • Institutional Shareholding: >50% (10)
  • Scalability: revenue > expenses growth
  • Stock since IPO
  • P/E ratio: >30 (0) / 10-30 (5) / <10 (10)
Stock TSLA PLTR TEM
3Y Revenue increase abit (5) 20% increase (10) good (10)
Net Profit Margin 7.30% (5) 18% (10) -116% (0)
3Y Cash Reduce (0) Doubled (10) bad (0)
Asset to Liabilities 3:1 (10) 5:1 (10) bad (0)
Cash to Debt Ratio >1.0 (10) very high (10) bad (0)
Short Interest (to float) 2.26% (10) 4.13% (10) 13.28% (0)
Institutional Shareholding 47.74% (5) 52.16% (10) 34.57% (0)
Scalability (Revenue > Expenses Growth) 7B (5) good (10) good (10)
Stock since IPO 350 times (10) 12 times (10) 2 times (10)
P/E Ratio 177 (0) 589.94 (0) N/A
-- FINAL SCORE -- 60/100 90/100 30/100

Part 14: Random Tips

  1. Backtest (a month, at least, to see if your tips work)
  2. Patience is queen - takes time and money to learn. Takes 6 years of study to become a doctor to earn 10k/month!!
  3. Market Structure: ABC - zigzag up or zigzag down
  4. Fair Value Gaps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7ViDziObKI

Part 15: Backtesting GOOGL

Consider again my entry strategy:

  • first bar clear off lower BB
  • oversold conditions (StochRSI < 20)

Let's see how google does ...
