Australian (ASX) Stock Market Forum

Actively managed portfolio journey

More ramblings;

AUDUSD pull back today will be shortlived, I dont believe we will see real AUD destruction until Trump takes office (how much of what he says is empty words?). Hence I am still bullish on the AUD in the very short term.

Looking to rotate out of AUDUSD in the next 2 weeks and will rotate it into a core holding of ASX:WIRE

Following this a subsequent 10% allocation will be loaded into the equal weighted SP500 (I believe we will see the rise of the S&P493)

Onwards and upwards

empty words , or building a position before starting negotiations , at least Xi hasn't openly ( to his face ) told Trump all he speaks are deceptions ( like he did to Biden )

now the AUD is liable to be collateral damage in the coming currency/trade war , a potential black swan will be a Japanese yen carry-trade debacle , that might really rattle the ( US ) dollar

i suggest staying agile ( ready to move in any direction as needed )

good luck

Thoughts & Feelings


Sharesight is artificially showing my speculative position as excessively overweight (AUDS is actually a trade I will update the tags to accommodate the 10% for trading.

As mentioned previously, I am thinking pretty consistently about whether ASX:VDBA fits the growth strategy I am aiming for. I think these funds would be better allocated into either a vanguard high growth or into other indexes. Income is not my target.

Its likely next week I will liquidate my AUDS position and rotate it into ASX:WIRE will update the blog accordingly.

So close to out performing the ASX200 (largely off the back of ASX:AAL) which has had an absolute gun run. I am still waiting for the ~10% dividend yield (at the initial entry price set for March).

Small caps also performing well however gains have been offset by the depreciation in the Australian Dollar (the position isnt currency hedged). Still keen on the equal weight as the subsequent 10% position to be entered in the backend of December / Mid January.

Set to receive a bonus from work that should enable this injection of capital.

I am also so proud of my exit from ASX:DUG which has had the ass fall out of itself. If we go back to a version of myself just 9 months ago I would of been inclined to not sell and to instead double down. My ability to cut emotions out has been invaluable over these last 3 months preventing some absolute value destruction.

Onwards & Upwards.
