How I Beat the Stock Market in 2019: A Review
1333 segments
hi this Adam Koo here and welcome to
this final weapon of the year on the
2019 stock market review so it's one
week to Christmas and two weeks to the
end of the year and I drew about you by
found that this year really passed by in
a flash or is it just that when you're
getting older time passes faster anyway
towards the end of every year I do a
review of what has happened for the year
in the markets and before I do that I
think it's important to go back to
January 2019 to look at my strategy for
the year so at the beginning of every
year I do a strategy forecast for the
year and I do it every year so watch out
for my general one coming in 2020
alright so let's take a quick look at
the one I presented in January of this
year let me just bring it out alright so
I'm not gonna run through the entire
forecast all of the games gonna take two
hours so I'm just gonna highlight some
of the main ideas of my 2019 strategy
and how much of it actually played out
how much came true how much did not come
true because I don't get it right all
the time
no one does alright alright so let's go
back to that presentation so what I
talked about in the beginning of the
year was really about the China's stock
market opportunity because at the
beginning of the year China was really
undervalued and it came from a big
sell-off that happened back in late 2018
at the start of the us-china trade war
and I said that China presented amazing
investment opportunity u.s. had great
opportunity but China had even bigger
opportunity and the reason is because
China was near the bottom of their bear
market right here at to 744 right so I
said this was a big bear market where it
dropped about 40 percent because the
trade law as well as the China's slowing
economy and I said that we are right now
at the bottom of this bear market and
we're gonna buy just before the next
bull market as you know markets are made
up of bear markets and bull markets they
don't want me
straight line and the time to buy is not
during a bull market where people are
excited the time to buy is towards the
end of the bear market when people are
fearful right to court Warren Buffett be
fearful when others are greedy and
greedy when others are fearful and the
way to make money is to buy when there's
blood running on the streets so in late
2018 there was intense fear about China
because China was you know slowing down
the trade war people freaking out and
said this is the time to buy because
we're a bottom of the bear market and
again if you look at the history of
China now the US stock market has been
around for over 227 years started in
1782 there abouts China's stock market
is only about 30 years old and it's
really fall at all but if you know when
to get in you can make a lot of money
like what I have so we look at the last
24 years you can see there's a bear
market here from market dropped 61% and
the Shanghai index after the bear market
61% drop you've got the bull market
three hundred percent up 32% down bull
market bear market bull market bear
market bull market and bear market so
again we are we were right at the bottom
of the bull market going into Jimmy 2019
so I said that you know I'm gonna really
really start to allocate a lot of my
portfolio to China just be an example
back in 2018 my portfolio was about 90%
us 10% China right now it's about 50% us
50% China and Asia so I've made a big
shift in my allocation and it's the
reason is because I want to catch the
next bull market up basically right now
here's the thing the market dropped 51%
and I said that that's the bottom okay
how did I know is the bottom I looked at
a price action of the individual chance
of the market I'll talk about in a short
walk now question is could I have been
wrong yeah but I was not wrong okay I'll
show you later that I was right it was
the bottom but even if I was wrong
and you dropped a bit more how much more
can it drop because normally during a
bear market it has dropped 70% in the
past it has dropped 61% in the past so
it has really dropped 51% which means my
downside is limited at the very most you
would drop another 10 or 20% okay but
once I catch the next bull market the
next bull market how much would it be
well no one knows but again based on
history it has gone up 200% 500%
trehearne percent a hundred percent I
don't know which is gonna be but a point
is is gonna go up at least a hundred
percent to up to five hundred percent
which means by getting in right at the
bottom of the bear market I've only got
a ten or twenty percent more downside
for a hundred to five hundred and upside
and that is what I call a cement
asymmetrical risk in trading you're
betting $1 to make two three four
dollars and you want to buy aggressively
in those situations and that's why in
2019 throughout the year I accumulated a
lot of China companies and China ETFs
aggressively while still holding on to
my US position so that was my first call
for 2019 and it did play out we'll look
at what happened what happened
thereafter in a short law all right at
the beginning of the year the p/e ratio
for the Shanghai index stood at 12 PE
right it stood at about 12 PE now to
give you some perspective historically
the PE ratio has been as low as 10 which
means we were already near the bottom in
January as high as 70 and the median is
40 okay now I don't expect to get back
to 70 of course but I expect that the PE
ratio will get back to 40 eventually
once the trade war is resolved alright
so from a PE of 12 to 40
that's about more than three times right
so I
that whatever I bought in China I
expected to triple in value in the next
couple of years so that was my first
call for 2019 get aggressive on China
and buy the china index ETFs the
Shanghai ETF the Hang Seng ETF as well
as individual China companies and I
talked about basically four main
companies I was looking at by - Alibaba
Tencent
and ping uninsurance right and after
four I dropped by 2 at the middle of the
year for those of you who've been really
my reports the reason I dropped it is
because from my scuttlebutt now what is
scuttlebutt scared what means you gotta
talk to people who are using the
products every day you gotta talk to
employees while working in the companies
and that's the only way to really
understand the business see many times
when you invest in a stock and you only
look at the chance or the financial
statements you're looking at what's on
the surface but to understand what's
going on deep down inside to get a first
mover advantage you have to talk to the
customers who are using the products
every day you have to talk to the
employees who are working in the company
okay because when you do that what
happens you are doing what costs cattle
back which means you're digging up
information that is for presented yet in
the chance for the financial statements
so when I discover that many of my
friends in China they said pi2 sucks
right it too much adds a lot of scams
right we're not using by do anymore and
that's why at the middle of the year I
soaked by two shares I got up before the
crash thank God and I use it to buy mate
110 which later we're not fifty two
percent since I bought it four months
ago because all my friends in China were
using mate 1 TN ping their new super app
so you gotta understand like customers
who are using the products every day now
I don't live in China I have not been to
China for many many years but I've got
close friends who live in China and they
can tell me everything about the Chinese
companies and I share it with all my
friends and my subscribers and my
students and that's how they're able to
get an age
over other investors because got people
in China using the trucks every single
day all right now when it comes to $0.10
Alibaba and pick an insurance these
three companies did pretty well and
again we'll look at the performance
later on but these are the three main
stocks I held on to plus I replace this
with mate 110 ping at the middle of the
year now how about the US what did I say
about the US markets at the beginning of
2019 I said that the US markets were not
cheap but they were not extremely
expensive yet and I'm still holding and
I'm still buying a lot in fact it was
still some companies they were very
undervalued then I was buying like the
banks JP Morgan bank of America Johnson
& Johnson Amazon Facebook they were
still cheap alpha but Google still cheap
I was buying a lot of these companies
Microsoft as well during 2019 okay at
the beginning of the year the S&P 500
the p/e ratio was seventeen point seven
three remember the figures seventy point
seven three which is above historical
average so for the last eight years the
average p/e is fifteen so anything about
fifteen PE is expensive below fifteen is
she now of course we like to buy one is
really undervalue but the US markets are
not cheap they are slightly over value
at 17 but say hey it could go back as
high as 30 or 25
in fact historically 25 has been the
historical high once he reaches 25 it
gets really expensive it has to go back
down again
so from 17.7 to 25 we have still got
some runway all right so I said the US
market I expected to be bullish this
year as well now don't forget that at
the end of 2018
the US market was actually in a bear
market for a month you know some mini
bear market let me just show that to you
oh yeah so look at that right so this
was December 2018
and the US markets went into a bear
market way when below the 200 moving
average the 50 moving average cross
below the 150 and this was scary as [ __ ]
so at that point of time it was again
the heart of the trade war China was
crashing the u.s. was crashing and at
that time people were saying that hey is
the start of the big bear market is a
start of a recession and they pointed to
a yield curve signal au curve has
inverted and it's de it's a signal for
recession now what did I say I said that
yes the US market is on a bear market
but in a strong economy that's
divergence because we have got a
remarkable S&P 500 earnings growth right
company earnings were still growing
strong and projected to continue growing
strong the bear market I said was
primarily psychological fear over the
uncertainty of the trade war brexit
flattering new curve I said economic
fundamentals are still strong employment
is growing manufacturing is growing at
the same time I said the current bear
market is unlikely to leave here's what
I say the current bear mark is unlikely
to lead to a recession and presents an
opportunity to buy great companies at
huge discounts however it is at a late
late stage of the economic cycle so what
were the stops I was buying I've got a
preference for stocks in technology
communications and financials my
favorites were Microsoft Adobe
Salesforce and Applied Materials
Facebook elphaba Netflix JP Morgan as
well as Blackrock now I must say that
through during the mid of the year I did
sell my Blackrock for a small profit but
I held onto the rest I never bought
Netflix by the way I bought everything
else ok and what happened sure enough
the
bear market the everyone thought would
lead to a recession did not in fact it
only lasted for a month after falling
20% the bear market reversed back into
the bull market and that's how I had a
pretty good return on my portfolio by
holding on an eddy more shares right at
the bottom over there okay if you
remember Facebook was also going through
a lot of problems
Zuckerberg went to Congress and got
grill for you know the Dieterle in
basically selling data to to the wrong
party is basically right and I said that
you know Facebook's a great opportunity
and buying Facebook at a huge discount
my evaluation for Facebook was about two
hundred and seven dollars but right now
I've raised my evaluation to $250 and I
bought it at a huge discount at about a
hundred and but I had 150 bucks right
and Facebook has gone up quite a bit
quite a bit since then I also talked
about Johnson & Johnson after it plunged
10 percent because of the problems with
asbestos in baby powder right so gng
plunged to $129 I started to buy really
cheap and right now it's a really really
high price again J&J is up about I'll
check it out later
let me see how much is up so far J&J
since I bought it let me check it out
there we go right yeah so since I bought
it in a support level it's gone up from
$127 to 140 for a pretty good return let
me see what's return yeah well 11% in
just a couple of months G&G right and
again this came out in my general report
but I started entering at the support
level over there all right
so these were my summary of
opportunities for 2019 what did I say I
said that the current bear market in US
stocks is unlikely to lead to a
recession and offers value investors an
opportunity to buy great copies at huge
discounts
was I right on that yes I was okay the
US economy is at a late stage cycle best
to focus on high-quality good companies
that are less economically sensitive
example Adobe Microsoft Google and
Facebook how did these stocks do let's
take a look so first of all Adobe for
the year let's look at how we did for
the year for the last one years so Adobe
you can see it's up from two hundred and
ten dollars to $325 it tripled in 2019
so that was a great call next Microsoft
what are my core holdings as well
Microsoft there we go it started a year
at $90 it's now a hundred and fifty five
dollars so again that's about almost an
80% return for the year for Microsoft
alphabet Google right my call in January
it was at $1,000 now it's at $1300 so
there's 30% return for alphabet as well
all right and I also talked about
Facebook yeah Facebook how could I
forget Facebook my call holding as well
it's gonna see Facebook was in the
[ __ ] at a hundred and twenty dollars
now it's a hit a high of $200 so it
almost a 90% return over there
consolidated and now we had 198 so about
80% return for the year as well
all right so all that worked out for me
pretty well what else did I say okay my
favorite sectors were communications
technology and finance all of which have
outperformed the markets this year China
is the long-term world growth leader is
undervalued and so I was buying the
China ETS like gxc ethics I and EWH I
talked a bit about Singapore and
Malaysia and I said that day we're not
gonna do very well long term growth
potential is low and indeed they did not
do as well as before I also use the
option to buy a lot of REITs as well
right so those were my main calls for
the year so what happened at the end was
the result so again let's take a look
so the S&P 500 let's go to year-to-date
yeah started the year at the bottom of
the bear market at two three four six we
are now at tree one nine eight
so the S&P 500 is up about 26 percent
for the year right so it's been a pretty
bullish year the Dow Jones is up
slightly less it's up about 21% for the
year
okay now how they tryna do let's look at
China so for China basically I look at
two markets the first bit is Shanghai
Composite Index
okay so Shanghai started the year
here at about 2004 and now we're at 3:01
7 so China and the year are about let me
see
19 percent right so this is one thing I
got wrong I expected China to up from
the US this year but the US still up
outperform Kylie right so the u.s. is up
26% China is up 19% but this is okay I
got it wrong but I'm again 50/50 in both
so it doesn't really matter me right
I've got an equal allocation to US China
agent stocks but I really do expect that
in 2020 right China and Asia will
outperform the US and let's see if I'm
right next year okay now I was equally
bullish on the Shanghai index and the
Hong Kong hansung index at the beginning
of the year what I did not see I did not
predict was the riots that unfolded in
Hong Kong is something that I never
foresaw and it's still going on and so
when that happened I started to allocate
more resources to Shanghai as compared
to Hong Kong but despite all the riots
Hong Kong is still up all right if you
check it out interestingly enough the
despite all the problems that Hong Kong
has been having and they will be
resolved eventually right they will be
resolved right how I don't know but it
will be resolved it still ended up the
year from here to year right so Hong
Kong is 2 up 7.7 percent return for the
year not as great as I wanted but still
not bad now the great thing is that you
see in the Hong Kong stock market in the
Hang Seng Index half the companies are
China companies where they sell to China
and the other half a Hong Kong companies
where they sell primarily to the Hong
Kong consumers right and for me I only
buy companies that sell to the China
market why because it's a much bigger
market than Hong Kong so I buy china
companies that sell to China in the
world but are listed on the Hong Kong
market so even though Hong Kong had all
the
but the companies I bought like 10 Sen
like Alibaba like me 20 and ping they
all wanna double digits because they are
Chinese companies primarily selling to
the mainland China as well as to the
rest of the world and not confined to
just the Hong Kong markets now the
interesting thing is that although the
S&P 500 is up 26.4%
here today and the Shanghai market is up
19% here today but the whole year has
been nothing but bad news if you
remember right almost every single month
there were tremendous bad news in the
mainstream media from the brexit
uncertainty to the us-china trade war
Trump's tweeting right slowing China GDP
the yield curve inversions signaling a
recession the Hong Kong on unrest so is
all the bad news and so that's one thing
you have to understand about the markets
bull markets tend to climb a wall of
worry in other words I can tell you that
after being in the markets for 28 years
I found that every time the media tells
you it's really bad news doomsday the
market keeps going higher
now once the media tells you that
everything is great that's when the
market crashes so boo is always climb up
wall of worry and best slide down a
slippery slope of hope right remember
that saying now and again the mainstream
news was all about fear this year right
like back in October you know they said
that awfully high risk of global
recession in the next 12 to 18 months
they were saying things like the father
of the yield curve says now is the time
to prepare for recession this was back
again in October right and you know a
lot of these economies were saying it's
time to start shorting the S&P 500 and
all this was back in August to October
when the yield curve was signaling a
recession somewhere about there so if
you listen to all these people all these
experts and economists and news what's
gonna happen right when it drops over
here you're gonna panic and start
selling and once you sell what happens
that's where it goes hi
so that's why retail investors always
get screwed by the root system all right
because the rigged system will tell them
to always sell at the lowest point and
after they sell the market goes up once
it goes up you'll tell them to buy once
they buy your crash again and that's why
the retail investors will never ever
make money that's why in the markets
it's always 90% of people who lose all
the money to the 10% will make all the
money now some people may hate me and
say hey you're a bastard taking my money
let me tell you something don't hate the
player hate the game but the game is
rigged but if you want to be a player
that makes money from this game you have
to understand that you never make
investment decisions based on reading
the mainstream news you never make
investment decisions based on emotions
like fear and greed you never make
investment decisions by listening to the
opinions of all these experts economies
or analysts the only way to make money
is to think independently the only way
to make money is to make investment
decisions of buying and selling based on
number one fundamental research you have
to do the research of the companies that
you're buying remember when you're
buying a stock you're not buying a
lottery ticket you're buying a part
ownership of a business you got to
understand the business you can
understand are the sales earnings
growing does the company have a strong
business model that gives it a white
economic mode do they have growth
drivers all right is the company
overvalued or undervalued
this is what is important not brexit and
not the trade war all those are merely
noise and distractions meant to screw
you up you're gonna look at the
fundamentals of the company next
scuttlebutt I make decisions based on
again like I said talking to employees
of the company asking eh how's your
company doing I talk to the customers I
used to buying a product every single
day I talk to competitor
to find out what do you think about my
company the next thing is you're gonna
look at technical analysis it's gonna
look at the trends is it an uptrend or a
downtrend is it at a resistance or
support level you can look at price
action so my decisions on whether to buy
or sell every single day is based on
fundamentals technicals and scarib at
the same time I also keep an eye on a
macro picture I look at market cycles
right market cycles are driven by
interest rates is the whole market on an
uptrend or is a whole market on a
downtrend I look at secular growth
trends there are certain industries that
are growing because of certain trends
like health care from an aging global
population 5g technology cloud computing
marijuana being legal in the u.s.
robotics cyber security so when you buy
companies that position themselves
within these trends you make a lot of
money and I'll talk a lot about it in my
coming premium newsletter reports that
I'll be sharing with you later in this
webinar next you gotta look at macro
economic drivers as well things like the
political cycle the interest rate cycle
in fact let me just show you one of my
reports that I wrote and these are
monthly reports this is not the premium
report this is just the basic Mickey
Mouse report right the premium report
will blow your mind away now this was
back in me alright this was my May
report and what did I say in me right
oops sorry yeah I said there are two
reasons that the boom market is likely
to continue now to jog your memory
remember what happened in me all right
in me over here we had this big drop so
people freaky oh my God we're gonna die
and I say hey hold on we're gonna die
we're gonna end up the year much higher
and the reason I knew was because I was
watching the US presidential cycle I
said that there are two reasons the boom
market is gonna continue
number one 12 months after the US
midterm elections and the third
year of the presidential US stub have
been the most bullish historically so
you're gonna look at what we call cycles
for example look at his chart over here
there we go
so this is the first year of the new
presidential term which was 2016 for
Trump's administration 2017 I'm sorry my
bad
2017 was year 2016 was the elections
right 2017 is the first year of the
tribal administration second year third
year and fourth year and historically
since 1928 the most bullish year has
been the third year of the presidential
term and this is the third year 2019 so
I said this you're gonna be bullish
because of the third year cycle so you
gotta understand the cycle really
important right and I said reason number
two why I'm bullish is because the
majority of investors are fearful and
pessimistic remember when everyone is
scared the market tends to go up when
everyone is excited the market tends to
crunch the market tends to always go
opposite of what the general public
things and at that time in me when
everyone was saying that amok is gonna
go to [ __ ] I said I'm buying right now
so when you go opposite of the crowd of
the hood that's how you make money
always remember these guys 90% of people
will lose money in their investments 90%
and only 10% will make money so if you
want to be the ones to make money you
have to follow the minority and ignore
the majority it has worked for me for 28
years and I got my students to follow
this philosophy every month every week
every day every year and that's how we
beat the markets so this year has been
pretty bullish like I said the espys up
20 26 percent my goal has to be has been
to beat the markets every year and I've
beaten the markets almost every single
year of the last 28 years and I'm
thankful to have beaten it again this
year
all right so this is one of my accounts
I've got several accounts that I manage
for myself and for my family so one of
my accounts and you can see that I'm
using Interactive Brokers
one of the many brokers I use so here
today all right you can see I'm up so
far for the year forty five percent for
the year
alright beating the S&P 500 of 26
percent another counter can show you
would be is another kind of managing
yeah this one right so this account I
only funded it with Interactive Brokers
in Maine right if you look at since
inception over here okay so I only
started in me with IB and it's up about
15 percent for the last six months about
yeah seven months right so annualized
it's about 25 percent analyzed because
this 15 percent return is just for about
six to seven months and the reason is
because I transferred all these funds
from another broker which I'm not gonna
use anymore I won't mention which broker
but because their customer service SAP
so I transferred all my funds to IB into
this new account right in fact from that
broker I actually started with about a
hundred grand $100,000 in that broker
and I grew it to now almost seven
hundred thousand over the last five and
a half years alright so again I don't
say I can you know double my account
every year some years you get twenty
percent some years thirty percent some
years forty percent some year seventy
percent but if you compound it you can
really really build your wealth with
your account right so what was some of
the great opportunities that helped me
to drive my account value up this year
right and there were many of them and I
share many of them in my monthly reports
with my students the basic reports and
more importantly my upcoming premium
report known as the ultimate investors
playbook we shall talk about towards the
end of the webinar and a chance for you
to grab this very powerful report that
will come up once a month where I talk
about exactly what stocks I'm looking at
what stocks I'm buying and what stocks
I'm selling
right and it's available for anyone who
wants to purchase this premium ultimate
investors playbook all right so let's
take a look at some of the opportunities
for the year and I'll show you some of
my previous reports one of one or one of
them was back in August alright so you
can see this was my August report and
again as always my disclaimer is I am
NOT a licensed financial adviser so I do
not give financial advice and
recommendations I never tell people what
to buy what to sell I only tell you what
I'm buying and what I'm selling ok so i
only share this for educational purposes
but before you buy and sell a stock
always do your own research always seek
advice from a licensed financial advisor
because i'm not licensed all right I'm
just a professional investor who manages
my own money and no one else's money my
family and my money and I'm just sharing
what I do for the benefit of people's
education so that's my disclaimer right
and so back in August some of my key
things I talked about was Microsoft
right so I said you look at Microsoft
you can see that yep it's finding
support at the moving averages exactly
when I would add Microsoft and Microsoft
is up almost 100% this year as you saw
earlier on the other one was Johnson &
Johnson which was in my report back in
August so I said that hey I'm getting in
at these support levels over there right
so always buy at the support levels of a
consolidation pattern and now as you can
see J&J for the year it's up to a new
high right there right at the support
level right so I take advantage of
technical analysis and looking at the
fundamentals really really important
right the other thing which I entered
was Domino's Pizza this was also my
August report you can see Domino's was
at a very strong support level so I
started buying Domino's at about 2 to 44
Domino's Pizza right and now it's
already recovered let's see where
Domino's is right now yeah so from 244
which was my entry price there about 244
it's now at 291 and it's right now at
the previous resistance so good B's
would be some would be a good time to
take some profits right before it comes
back down again it could but I'm buying
some put options and selling cutter
calls and hold it onto the stop that's
another way to hitch my portfolio all
right so that is the August report so
you can see that in just one report I
had three great investment opportunities
that made a lot of money in just one
month report okay all right and my
September report was also really
interesting because my September report
I said that banks are very cheap so I
was buying the bags JP Morgan bank of
America because of the historically low
interest rates at a time I was buying
the banks and let's see what has
happened to the bank since then since my
September report right so since
September right you can see that JP
Morgan it went down it hit the 200
moving average
he was very undervalued and I started
buying aggressively at about a hundred
and five dollars and right now it's up
40% well it's up 40% for the year but
it's up about 20% since since my second
entry because I was holding it since
last year as well so over 40% for Bank
of America
that I also accumulated as you can see
back in September I added more shares at
a support level at a very strong support
every time we hit support I will add
more shares right now up to the five
bucks from twenty six again up about 25%
from there and for the year is up almost
40% so that was in this September report
right now in September I also talked
about the born ETF and I said bonds are
in a bubble waiting to burst and I said
that I'm shorting that bond etf right so
we shot the body thereby by put options
or by shorting the born ETF directly all
right and what has happened since then
it has indeed come down there we go so
this was my September report I said
bonds are overvalued it's in a bubble
short bones boom it's down all right now
again don't get me wrong I am NOT able
to anticipate anything a hundred percent
I don't get it right all the time
okay I I only get it right more than
half the time so there are times I get
it wrong okay so for example on GE
General Electric I was Barry's house
shorting the stuff I thought it would go
down but the bastard and it never went
down
it went up instead so anyway now I
quickly cut my losses so I took a small
loss on GE so the important thing is not
to be right all the time no one can be
right all the time
you just have to be right more than
you're wrong and make more when you're
right and lose less when you're wrong
and that's how you make great profits
every single year alright so that was in
my September report what else did I talk
about ah yes of course meet one Tian
Bing
this was the China stock that I started
buying back in September and I bought it
my buy price after I did my research
there was yeah so my buy price at a time
I said hey that's a resistance support
so I'm aiming to buy seventy dollars
over there
then I'll prefer to start adding shares
at $70 right so I bought this in
September
since then it has gone up from 70 bucks
over here to a hundred and three dollars
so 40% returns or a 50% return in just
four months
so this replaced my PI two shares that I
saw when all my friends in China told me
was a crap company right so the more I
sold it I reallocated the shares to May
20 and being made fifty percent return
in four months and again all these are
in my monthly reports and again stay
tuned because at the end of the webinar
show you how you can get my monthly
reports as well as again a premium
report known as the ultimate investors
playbook and if you think this is good
that would blow your freakin mind right
so this was my September report and
October
this was my October report I talked
about the health insurance industry
because Elizabeth Warren who is a
Democratic frontrunner she's against
private health insurance so the moment
she started leading in the polls why she
didn't lead her the moment she started
gaining in the polls against Joe Biden
people freaked out and saw all the
health insurance companies so this stop
united health right it drop all the way
down to the support level and I started
buying and I started buying this at two
to one seven that's right so where is it
right now it's recovered since then from
two one seven
it's up to 95 that's right so I bought
it here at the support level and it's up
34% since I bought it so this was
another great opportunity that came out
in the October report and I also talked
about this ETF right this one which is
the IHF this is the health insurance ETF
and you can see a strong support at the
150 it dropped and hit the support I
started buying at 161 that's right but
at 161 this was back in October and in
two months see what happened we go right
so my entry was at this 150 moving
average on the weekly candles I bought
it here now it's up here it's up about
23% in just two months in fact a month
and a half right 23 percent in a month
and a half great opportunity and this
was my October report right so this will
fall so you can see that in one report
one idea makes me so much money all
right
and I share these ideas again not as
advice no its recommendations but as
education and I make sure that you know
my subscribers are able to benefit from
the best education possible every single
month now those of you who are in my
investment in a circle you know that my
ability to pick great companies and
great stocks at the right time it does
not happen by chance
it takes a tremendous amount of hard
work and experience to pull this off
every single year and let me just say
that anyone can succeed in the markets
but again it takes hours and hours of
hard work you gotta first accumulate the
knowledge of knowing how to analyze
businesses fundamental analysis you must
be a master reading charts technical
analysis and
also understand macroeconomic analysis
as well and once you understand that you
must be able to do research before you
buy a stock you must be able to execute
your research and to track your
portfolio's and your investments
regularly see a lot of people they look
at me and say hey you've got a great
life all you do is sit around and talk
and click a button and you make you know
hundreds of thousands dollars all the
time but what they don't sees before
that click of the mouse before I sit
down and press that button they don't
see the hours and hours of hard work
that is put into it they don't see that
they just see that click all right so
let me just tell you that before I click
a buy or sell what goes on behind that
and here's just a very very quick
summary right so before I make every buy
or sell decision the first thing I do is
I spend up to 6 to 10 hours doing
intensive research into the company's
financial statements its business model
its technical patterns and I go back
through years and years of data
sometimes even up to 10 to 20 years of
financial data to do that I subscribe to
a whole range of research tools in the
markets like professional screening and
research tools from Bloomberg from S&P
Capital IQ and many others and in total
in a year I invest about $50,000 in
subscription fees to get all these
professional equipment and software to
get the data at the same time I watch my
favorite companies for months once I
like a company I don't buy immediately i
watch it every single day week and month
for the right time for the price to be
under value at the right support level
and I stripe and once I buy that's not
all I then watched a price action every
day to know hey is it time to get out is
it time to add more shares do I have to
protect my portfolio using options and
using inverse ETFs and even before I do
all that I gotta first have the
knowledge and the experience
okay so let me tell you that besides
spending three years in Business School
majoring in finance I also read since I
was seventeen I also read over 600 books
on accounting economics fundamental
analysis technical analysis behavioral
finance and any book that has got to do
with the markets I've spent the last 28
years since I was 17 years old I'm not
45 right I spent a last 28 years
watching the live markets every day for
about two to three hours every single
day so if you do the math that's about
19,000 hours I've been watching the
markets now let me tell you that if
anyone has spent 19,000 hours watching
the markets is hot not to be good at the
markets right in the same time I've
spent again the last 28 years
reading financial reports of companies
what reading their technical charts
drawing all those lines for at least two
to three hours a day every day for 20
years so add another 19,000 hours to
that okay so question is what is the
price you put on all this experience and
all this hard work what's the price now
I don't the honest view I've got no idea
what price to put but it's not a lower
price see everyone wants to succeed but
very few people are willing to pay the
price necessary to be the best in the
business
necessary to be successful and wealthy
now I'm not saying all this to impress
you but to really drive home the point
that there is no free lunch in this
world there is no free money because if
it was that easy everyone would become a
multi-millionaire everyone would be
sitting at home earning passive income
it is not easy the only way to succeed
and build your wealth is if you're
committed to put in the hard work that
time and the energy if you're committed
to pay the price now am I saying that to
achieve the same success you have to go
to three years of business school you
have to spend forty thousand hours
watching the markets reading financial
reports am I saying gonna do all this to
succeed the answer is you could write
but you don't have to
why here's the good news how could you
catch up with professionals like me who
have spent decades mastering the markets
mastering companies and how can you
massively cut short your learning curve
so what it takes people 28 years to pull
off you can pull off in a couple of
months and I've got a solution for you
and this is what inspired me to create
this brand new product for my students
for my subscribers and this new product
is called the ultimate investors
playbook so this is a premium report
that I write with my research team every
single month where we highlight the best
asymmetrical investment opportunities in
today's global markets and again what is
the meaning of asymmetrical which means
I only look for opportunities where we
put tremendous returns for very low risk
or capital and we're gonna be focusing
on both the US as well as China and some
Asian markets as well now my personal
allocation in investments is about
currently 50% the u.s. 50% China in Asia
but China and Asia could increase in
time to come now when I say this there
are some people for example from the
west from the US a Miss a you know but
China is a communist country you'll
think about the companies it's gonna be
dangerous hey you've been fed all this
[ __ ] by the media and if you don't
invest in China you could be missing out
on one of the greatest growth engines
over the next 20 to 50 years now I love
the US I use US products I invest in US
markets but you can't ignore China and
here's a great great news whether you're
from the u.s. from Europe from Asia from
Africa
anyone can invest in Chinese stocks US
stocks if you know how using the power
of the internet online trading online
investing so you can be learning about
how to do all that through these courses
and newsletters and be focusing not just
on stocks per se but also on ETFs as
well as other asset classes so if I see
an opportunity in goal if I see an
opportunity in bonds if I see an
opportunity in currencies you
the first to know in this report as well
because whatever I put my money into
I'll talk about in these reports so what
kind of opportunities do I put my money
into what kind of stocks do I buy the
answer is I buy all kinds of stocks as
long as I see a great opportunity
so in this premium report I'll talk
about the different kind of stocks that
will come up from time to time for
example there are times when I'll put my
money into large cap growth companies
that grow beyond 25% a year that
dominate industry there are also times
when I'll buy large cap predictable
companies like Johnson & Johnson or
McDonald's really save companies by
selling at huge discounts because of
temporary bad news in the markets and I
can make money really fast even if
they'll really save companies I also
look for companies that are selling at a
very undervalued price we call them deep
value stocks so there's certain times
when there's a industry recession where
certain companies just share price is
selling below their net liquidation
value or their cash value per share
which means even if the company closes
down and sells and liquidate everything
and say you get a dollar back you can
buy the stock of 50 cents and it's
happening in some markets like Hong Kong
right now so these are some great
opportunities that we'll also be looking
at next there are times when I also
invest in companies for great dividends
especially you REITs real estate
investment trusts when they do come up
these are the things you're gonna learn
as well I also go from time to time into
speculative growth stocks so these are
companies that have not yet dominated
the industry but they could potentially
become large companies but they're just
growing they're at their very early
phase of growth like may 20mp or
possibly zoom communications we call
this speculative growth stocks finally I
also look at secular growth industries
like I said 5g cybersecurity
computing and how do we select the right
ETFs to write on this strong waves of
growth in the time in the years to come
right there are also times when certain
industries are at huge discounts for
example the health insurance industry
which I mentioned in my earlier report
right because of the presidential
elections health insurance stocks took a
big beating bank stocks were really
undervalued in the last four months so
we'll also get really under than
industries and how do we write on them
using ETS as well so again we'll be
looking at anything that makes money
with lorries and low costs so for any
kind of stock which I'm watching and I'm
investing in I will highlight it into
this premium report and for every stock
I'll share view my detailed analysis of
how I analyze the company's business
model is competitive advantage again
it's competition its performance track
record as well as how I value these
companies to know whether it's
undervalued or overvalued I'll also show
you how I read the technical chart
patterns to identify the exact points
when I'm accumulating the shares or
where may be selling the shares where I
analyze the trend support and resistance
levels using candlestick patterns price
action
I will also incorporate and show you how
I make use of secular growth trends by
looking again at market cycles macro
economics interest rates and also the
scuttlebutt approach to investing which
means we'll take a look at how I talk to
the customers of these companies even
the competitors and sometimes even the
employees so all these things go into an
investment opportunity whether it's it
stocks or REITs or ETS and again these
could be again companies like Apple
which are growth companies or Amazon or
speculative companies at Roku or Alibaba
China companies US companies Asian
companies we look at anything globally
worldwide there's a great opportunity
now once these great companies or ETS
are high light
in a report you'll be placed into our
ultimate investors watchlist so as a

watchlist that you can watch every
