From the Research Desk of WeekendInvesting
The first report focused on a case study of Mi India Top 10 strategy. We analyzed its performance over the long term, highlighting periods of underperformance but also emphasizing the benefits of staying invested for the long term.
Case Study on Gold in Japan : Another case study was conducted on Japan, specifically on how gold has protected investments even during the worst equity markets in the last three to four decades. The study examined the importance of hedging gold and the potential outcomes if gold had been hedged.
Nifty vs S&P 500 Historical Charts : This story compared historical charts of the Nifty and S&P 500. We analyzed the movement and performance of these two indices to provide insight into their correlation and potential investment opportunities.
Case Study on Momentum Investing : A case study was conducted on momentum investing, showcasing its effectiveness in providing a great exit before the collapse of the narrative or actual results. This study emphasizes the benefits of incorporating momentum-based strategies into investment decisions.
What to do After a Market Fall : We also explored what investors should do after a market fall. The study analyzed the historical precedence of previous falls to provide guidance on potential actions investors can take during such times.
You have Life, Car & Health insurance but no portfolio insurance ? We highlighted the importance of portfolio insurance in the form of hedging with Gold. The study stressed that while we have insurance for our life, car, and health, it’s equally important to protect our investment portfolios.
Market Performance Near 200 DMAs : This study was based on the market’s performance near the 200 DMAs (daily moving averages). This study examined how the market has historically performed in relation to these DMAs and provided insights into potential future trends.
What to expect from an Election year ? This study focused on the market movements during pre and post-election years. This analysis delved into the historical data to understand the correlation between elections and market performance, providing useful information for investors during election cycles
All of these reports, along with rich content, are available on the Weekend Investing app. Subscribers can also receive some of this content through the daily newsletter and the Twitter feed. The abundance of free content aims to build a community of momentum investors who can take advantage of these insights.
It’s worth noting that while much of the valuable content on the internet is behind paywalls, the research desk at Weekend Investing has made a conscious decision not to charge for their content. This effort is driven by the goal of building a community and providing free access to informative and actionable investment information.
Now let’s move on to the market performance of the week.
Markets this week
The market experienced significant volatility during the week, with sharp down days followed by a bounce. Nifty lost about 2.5% on the weekly chart. This decline broke the previous lows made three weeks ago and at the end of August, indicating a sign of weakness in the market.
There is uncertainty about how much the market will bounce back, but it is expected that the resistance will come around the 19000 level, which was broken down in the recent decline. The hope is that the market will consolidate for a few weeks before starting an upward trend. However, whether the bounce leads to higher highs and higher lows or another collapse remains to be seen.
Sectoral Overview
In terms of sectoral performance, metals experienced the most significant loss at 3.9%, followed by commodities, IT stocks, real estate, private banks, infrastructure, pharma, public sector enterprises, consumption, auto, and energy, all of which lost around 2% to 3%. FMCG, the defensive sector, experienced a minimal loss of 0.8%, while PSU Banks made a sharp recovery on the last day to end the week with an overall loss of 0.6%.
The sectoral momentum has shifted dramatically, with pharma, FMCG, and consumption stocks moving up in the ranks in the short term. Real estate and public sector enterprise stocks, which were previously performing well, have moved down in terms of momentum. Gold has also shown remarkable strength, closing above $2,000 for the first time since May 23. Autos are performing strongly, and Maruti’s recent results have confirmed the positive trend in the sector.
Financial services, private banking, and infrastructure sectors have lagged in terms of performance, while media is trying to recover from a downward trend. Metals have shown little movement.
Benchmark Indices Overview
All benchmark indices were in deep red this week but the bounce on the last session would have provided some cushion to market enthusiasts. The fact that mid and smallcaps did not fall too bad in comparison to large caps also signifies that there may not be much of weakness heading forward but only time can answer this accurately.
WeekendInvesting Overview
Several strategies have shown positive performance, with some outperforming the indices. Mi 20, Mi 35, Mi ATH 2, HNI Wealth Builder, and Mi 25 have all delivered impressive results, with returns ranging from 31% to 63% for the financial year. However, Mi ST ATH has lagged behind this year.
Spotlight – HNI Wealth Builder
