Intro
Hi, welcome to the February 2023 eToro Portfolio Update.
My name is Vincenzo Stefanini and my eToro username is vincenzost.
Portfolio’s Performance
In February my portfolio closed with a profit of 1.15%.
So far, this year, my portfolio is in a profit of 0.63%.
I know that for many of you, the copy is still negative.
In this case, I recommend being patient and keeping the copy open for the long term.
I’m expecting to close this year in profit.
Now is a good time if you want to add more funds to the copy.
Portfolio’s Strategy
February has been a negative month for stocks and slightly positive for crypto.
My portfolio closed positive because I have long positions in cryptos and short positions in stocks.
I took profit on some short positions on stocks.
I will make changes to the asset allocation, depending on the market’s next direction.
I am waiting before opening new positions.
I have cash available in my balance to use for new trades.
Anyway, now is the best time to invest, in my opinion.
If you are already a copier, keep the copy open and add new funds to the copy every month.
Remember that this is an investment for the long term.
If you are not copying my portfolio, now is a great time to start investing.
Market Forecast
The US economy is doing well at the moment.
Inflation remains high and also employment is very high.
However, good news for the economy is bad news for stocks and cryptos.
This is because the FED is trying to reduce inflation by increasing the interest rates, which is negative for risky assets.
The Federal Reserve said that more rate increases are coming this year and that there won’t be rate cuts in the short term once they stop raising rates.
On the technical side, stock indices are now trading just above their 200-day moving average.
If the price can remain above it, it will be a bullish sign.
If instead, the price breaks below it, we can expect new selling pressure and lower prices.
My opinion
Everyone is wondering if we are already in a bull market or if this was just a bear market rally.
Based on the FED’s monetary policy and the economy’s current status, I believe that the major bottom in stocks and crypto markets has yet to come.
Investors are too optimistic right now, in my opinion.
We are not in a bull market yet and it’s not the time to go all in on crypto and stocks.
In fact, I think that this is just a bear market rally fueled by short coverings in stocks and liquidation in crypto.
Inflation is decreasing, which is good, but it still remains high and it’s possible to see another spike in inflation because of the reopening in China.
It’s possible that the US economy will fall into a recession because the monetary policy is very restrictive.
Also, we haven’t reached a proper capitulation in stocks and cryptos.
So, I remain cautious for the time being but still will do my best to take advantage of the market movement, in any direction.
