July 2018 Portfolio Performance Report for US market Q3 -0.84%, YTD +2.74%, Overall +78.84%

The US market had a good run in July. Despite the recent sell down of tech stocks and small caps, all 3 indices ended the month in green. S&P500 posted a 3.6% monthly gain. Dow Jones recorded a 4.71% gain while NASDAQ gain was 2.15%. As the trade war fear has somewhat subsided together with good earning reports and the impressive 4.1% GDP, investors' sentiments are generally upbeat.

Unfortunately, this month, my system's US portfolio did not manage to outperform the S&P500. It posted a small loss of 0.84%. This is due to a stock that plummeted at the end of the month, erased almost 50% of unrealized gain accumulated so far. Good thing is that each stock only represents about 10% of the overall portfolio. That's why I kept emphasizing the need to have proper risk management and position sizing.

July return is -0.84%.

The portfolio YTD return is now +2.74%.

Total return since inception (from June 2016) is now +78.84%.

Currently, the system still keeps a short term bullish view of the US market but the overall market appears to be losing steam led by the tech sectors and small caps. It could be just that the market is going to take a breather or it could lead to a reversal. We'll get to know when the system gives the signal. Subscribe as a member to find out.
