As a general remark, The value change represents only the value change of the opened
positions at the time of the update.
Year to date, the actual value change of the combined portfolios is -4.41%.
The calculation includes the dividends received and, the income from sold stocks
during the year, both of which were moved into cash. The cash is closed for short periods
of time, and at present it gives 4.9% yearly interest.
For now, the strategy, is to wait on the sidelines and accumulate cash (through dividends and closing positions when they reach a value change of approx 100%). This strategy
will stay in place, till the Fed’s QT policy will end(ergo high interest rates). In my opinion, this will continue through 2023, and Q1 2024.
