📈 S&P 500 Reaches New High Amidst Bubble Concerns

The S&P 500 has achieved a new record, hitting 5,500 points and marking the 31st all-time high of 2024, resulting in a 15% increase year-to-date. Despite common fears of a market downturn following such highs, historical data since 1950 shows an average of 16 all-time highs annually, with the 1990s seeing the most highs and the 2000s the least, correlating with market performance. Financial experts often warn of a bubble, but the speaker argues that all-time highs are signs of strength, not reasons to sell. The current market is contrasted with the dot-com bubble, where stock prices were driven by speculation rather than earnings, unlike today's leading companies like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple, which are financially robust.

05:01

🤔 Market All-Time Highs: Bullish Signal or Cause for Concern?

This paragraph delves into the historical significance of all-time highs in the stock market, suggesting they are bullish indicators rather than warnings of an impending crash. The speaker uses the example of the 1990s, which had 310 all-time highs and a market gain of 32%, to argue that such highs are positive. The current decade has seen 104 all-time highs, indicating a strong market. The speaker also addresses concerns about market crashes, comparing the current situation favorably to the dot-com bubble and the 2008 financial crisis, emphasizing that today's market leaders are backed by strong earnings.

10:02

📊 Earnings Growth and Market Valuation Analysis

The speaker discusses the importance of earnings growth in supporting market valuations, using the S&P 500 as an example. As long as the market's price trend remains close to its earnings per share, there is no bubble. The speaker anticipates that earnings estimates will continue to rise due to the benefits of AI, which can increase productivity and profit margins. However, the speaker also advises against buying during a market upswing, preferring to invest during pullbacks or retracements for better entry points.

15:03

📉 Market Corrections and Investment Timing

The speaker outlines a strategy for investing during market corrections, suggesting that investors should be patient and wait for a market pullback to buy in at better prices. The speaker identifies potential support levels for the S&P 500, including the 20 EMA, previous swing lows, and moving averages, as areas to consider adding to positions. The speaker also notes that while the market is up 15%, some investors may not be experiencing similar gains due to sector-specific performance.

20:05

😕 Individual Stock Performance and Portfolio Diversification

The speaker addresses the disparity between the overall market performance and individual stock performance, noting that gains in the S&P 500 are concentrated in a few sectors, particularly technology and communication services. The speaker shares their own portfolio performance, which, despite being diversified, is slightly underperforming the S&P 500 due to the underperformance of certain sectors. The speaker emphasizes that short-term underperformance does not indicate poor investment skills, as market rotation and sector performance can vary significantly.

25:06

🚀 Investing in Overvalued and Undervalued Stocks

The speaker provides guidance on how to approach investing in overvalued and undervalued stocks. For overvalued stocks like Nvidia and Apple, which have led the market rally, the speaker suggests holding but not buying more until prices become more attractive. For undervalued stocks that have been left out of the rally, the speaker advises caution, as some may be down for valid reasons, while others present a good buying opportunity. The speaker promises to cover more on this topic in a follow-up video.

🛑 Avoiding Emotional Decisions in Stock Investments

The speaker concludes by warning against making investment decisions based on emotions such as fear of missing out or fear of losing profits. Instead, investors should think logically and act like business owners, considering the long-term growth potential of their investments. The speaker also promotes their own investment program, offering live buy and sell notifications, updated intrinsic values, and portfolio reviews.

Keywords

💡S&P 500

The S&P 500, or Standard & Poor's 500 Index, is a stock market index that measures the stock performance of 500 large companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States.

In the video, the S&P 500 hitting a new milestone of 5,500 points signifies a new all-time high, indicating a strong market performance.

💡All-time High

An all-time high refers to the highest price or value that an asset, such as a stock or index, has ever reached. In the context of the video, the mention of the 31st all-time high in 2024 for the U.S. market suggests a bullish trend and investor optimism, despite concerns about potential market corrections.

💡Year-to-Date (YTD)

Year-to-date (YTD) refers to the period starting from the beginning of the current calendar year up to the present date. It is used to measure the performance of investments over the course of the year. The video mentions that the market is up over 15% YTD, showcasing the market's growth from the start of 2024 until the time of the video.

💡Bubble

In financial terms, a bubble refers to a situation where the prices of goods or assets rise significantly above their intrinsic values, often due to speculation or hype. In the script, experts warning about a 'bubble' suggest the possibility of an unsustainable market rise that could lead to a crash.

💡Bearish

A bearish sentiment or outlook anticipates a decline in market prices. In the video, the discussion around all-time highs being a reason to get bearish explores whether market peaks are signals to sell and expect a downturn, contrasting with the historical data presented.

💡Bullish

💡Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Earnings Per Share (EPS) is a measure of a company's profitability on a per-share basis. It is calculated by dividing the company's net income by the number of shares outstanding. In the video, the script discusses how the S&P 500's EPS is supporting its rise, suggesting that the increase in stock prices is justified by the companies' actual earnings growth.

💡Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)

Dollar-cost averaging is an investment strategy where an investor consistently buys a fixed dollar amount of a particular investment, regardless of its price. In the video, the speaker suggests using DCA when adding to S&P 500 ETF positions during market pullbacks, aiming to reduce the impact of market volatility on the investment.

Sector rotation is an investment strategy that involves shifting investments across different sectors of the economy based on their expected performance. The video mentions that different sectors perform well in rotation, affecting the overall performance of diversified portfolios.

💡Intrinsic Value

Intrinsic value is an estimate of the true value of a company based on its fundamentals, such as earnings, growth, and cash flows. It is used by investors to determine if a stock is overvalued or undervalued. The video discusses intrinsic value in the context of evaluating whether to buy more of a stock like NVIDIA, suggesting waiting until the stock price falls below this value.

💡Overbought

Overbought is a term used to describe a security that is considered to have been driven to a disproportionately high price based on its current fundamentals. In the script, the speaker refers to NVIDIA as being overbought and overextended, indicating that its price may be due for a correction.

💡Support Level

A support level is a price level where an asset's price tends to find stability and is likely to rebound. It is where buyers are expected to enter the market, preventing the price from falling further. The video mentions specific support levels for the S&P 500, suggesting these are good entry points for investors during market dips.

Highlights

The S&P 500 reached a new all-time high of 5,500 points, marking the 31st time in 2024.

Despite market highs, there's a common fear of a market downturn leading to a temptation to sell and take profits.

Financial experts often warn of a bubble and market crash when the market reaches new highs, but history shows different outcomes.

Since 1950, the S&P 500 has set 1,250 all-time highs, averaging about 16 highs per year.

The 1990s had the most all-time highs with 310, coinciding with a 32% market gain.

The 2000s had the fewest all-time highs with only 13, marking a bearish decade.

All-time highs are generally a bullish signal, indicating market and economic strength, rather than a reason to sell.

The 2020s have seen 104 all-time highs so far, making it a strong bullish decade for stocks.

Companies leading the market, like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple, are making significant profits, unlike the dot-com bubble era.

Stock prices are supported by earnings, which is a healthy market indicator, unlike the dot-com bubble where prices were driven by speculation.

The S&P 500's rise is currently supported by earnings per share, indicating no bubble formation.

Analysts are raising earnings estimates for companies due to the benefits of AI deployment, suggesting continued market growth.

Investors should avoid buying during a wave up pattern and instead wait for a pullback or retracement for better entry points.

Support levels for the S&P 500 have been identified for potential investment opportunities during market corrections.

Some investors may not be benefiting from the market's rise if their portfolio is not heavily weighted in the leading AI-related hardware companies.

Investors should not be discouraged by short-term underperformance compared to the S&P 500, as long-term performance is more indicative of skill.

There are still undervalued sectors and companies that have not yet participated in the AI bull run, presenting potential opportunities for investors.

Transcripts

play00:00

so the S&P 500 just hit a new Milestone

play00:02

on Thursday hitting 5,500 points and

play00:06

making a new all-time high before

play00:08

pulling back slightly on Friday and the

play00:11

interesting thing is that on Thursday

play00:14

this was the 31st time the US market

play00:17

made an all-time high in 2024 and it's

play00:20

up currently over 15% year to date now

play00:23

whenever the market makes new all-time

play00:25

highs people get nervous because they

play00:27

think it's going to come down and

play00:29

there's this overwhelming temptation to

play00:31

want to sell and take profits be before

play00:34

the market comes down and increasingly

play00:36

more and more financial economists and

play00:38

analysts and experts start to come out

play00:40

and they start to scream bubble bubble

play00:42

bubble the Market's going to crash right

play00:44

they always do that whenever the market

play00:46

reaches an all-time high but does it

play00:48

mean that all-time Highs are a reason to

play00:50

get bearish in the market is it a reason

play00:52

to sell your stocks in the market or our

play00:54

all-time highs actually less bearish

play00:57

than we think well again as always we

play00:59

like to go back to history and learn

play01:01

from history and what is interesting is

play01:03

that since 1950 this is the S&P 500 from

play01:08

1950 to the present day 2024 during this

play01:12

period as you know the market always

play01:14

goes up in the long run and over this

play01:17

journey of the market going up to its

play01:19

current level the S&P 500 has set

play01:24

1,250 alltime highs since 1950 and

play01:28

that's an average of 6 16 all-time highs

play01:31

a year that means in any given year the

play01:33

market makes 16 alltime highs and if you

play01:37

break it down by decades these are the

play01:39

decades this is the 1950s 1960s 1970s

play01:43

1980s right and if you look at the

play01:45

decades with the most all-time highs

play01:47

they were actually the most bullish for

play01:50

example if you look at 1990s from 1990

play01:53

to 1999 the market made 310 all-time

play01:58

highs and during this decade which was

play02:00

from right here 1990 to

play02:04

1999 the market gained

play02:08

32% making 300 all-time highs the decade

play02:13

with the least all-time highs was the 2s

play02:16

which was the year 2000 which was

play02:18

somewhere uh here to 2010 which was

play02:22

somewhere around there right so during

play02:25

this period the market only made 13

play02:27

all-time highs and it was was a bearish

play02:31

decade if you can see that so in other

play02:33

words all-time highs is a bullish signal

play02:36

it's a signal of Market strength

play02:38

economic strength and it's not a bearish

play02:40

signal it's not a reason to sell your

play02:41

stocks and in fact this year again we've

play02:44

had uh 31 all-time highs and since the

play02:47

start of the 2020s decade we've had 104

play02:50

alltime highs so so far this has been a

play02:53

very strong bullish decade for stocks

play02:56

now of course you've got people saying

play02:57

that well in 2000 made all time high and

play03:00

it collapsed why is this any different

play03:03

well there are couple of reasons why

play03:04

this is very different from 2020 uh the

play03:07

Doom crash and 2008 October the great

play03:10

financial crisis if you look at a dot

play03:13

bubble if you're old enough to remember

play03:15

it and like me I was in the Market at

play03:17

the time it was a very different Market

play03:19

because at the time stock prices were

play03:21

going up like crazy on companies that

play03:24

were not making money the companies were

play03:26

not making money but today the stocks

play03:28

that are leading the market like Nvidia

play03:30

Microsoft and Apple they are making a

play03:32

lot of money and this chart shows you

play03:34

the big difference so again in a dotom

play03:36

bubble you can see

play03:38

that this uh blue line over here is the

play03:42

NASDAQ the the the the share price of

play03:45

the NASDAQ versus the S&P 500 so the

play03:47

market the the NASDAQ was going up but

play03:51

the earnings of the company they were

play03:54

not really making much money so we call

play03:56

this a bubble stock price is going up is

play03:58

driven by hype and speculation and

play04:02

stories okay but it's not backed by

play04:05

actual earnings of the company and sure

play04:07

enough uh companies have to make money

play04:10

if not eventually the Hy will collapse

play04:12

that's what happened to R ETF you look

play04:14

at R ETF a lot of the stocks that they

play04:17

own the companies don't make money or

play04:20

they make very little money and you know

play04:22

the price was supported by hype back in

play04:25

2021 before it collapsed right but in

play04:27

today's market you can see that that

play04:30

although the stock stocks have gone up

play04:32

of the NASDAQ companies the one in light

play04:35

blue but the earnings of the companies

play04:38

have actually been supporting the share

play04:40

price and I've said this before that if

play04:42

you look at Nvidia for example Nvidia in

play04:44

the last year also the share price went

play04:46

up over 200% but the earnings grew at

play04:51

600% and that's why Nvidia is actually

play04:54

cheaper today than it was a year ago you

play04:58

know I said that before that you know

play04:59

when a stock price goes up it doesn't

play05:01

mean the stock gets more expensive the

play05:02

stock can actually get cheaper if the

play05:05

price goes up if the earnings are going

play05:07

up stronger than the price it's the same

play05:09

thing with the S&P 500 so again you can

play05:12

see that currently the Blue Line S&P 500

play05:16

is going up and up and up and just hit

play05:18

5,500 points but it is actually

play05:21

supported by the earnings per share and

play05:25

the black line is the forward 12 months

play05:27

earnings per share so as long as the

play05:30

blue line is close to the black line

play05:33

there's no bubble but if the Blue Line

play05:35

gets far above the black line then it's

play05:38

over stretched price is way above the

play05:41

earnings that's when a bubble forms and

play05:43

the blue line will eventually crash back

play05:45

down to the black line so as of now um

play05:49

that's not the case now the question is

play05:51

moving forward do we expect the earnings

play05:54

of companies to continue growing or to

play05:56

contract well as of now you can see that

play05:59

earnings

play06:00

uh per share of the S&P 500 this is

play06:02

based on the calendar year 2023 which is

play06:05

already over 24 this is the current year

play06:09

and this is next year 2025 and then 2026

play06:13

so moving forward to the next uh three

play06:16

years you can see that analysts have

play06:19

actually been raising the earnings

play06:21

estimates of companies as they

play06:23

benefit from deploying AI because if AI

play06:26

it increases their productivity reduces

play06:29

their cost increases their profit

play06:30

margins so as long as earnings estimates

play06:34

are rising the stock market can continue

play06:37

to go up now although I say the S&P

play06:40

remains bullish and will continue to go

play06:42

up over the medium to longer term does

play06:45

it mean that I'm going to jump in right

play06:46

now to buy more S&P 500 ETF no okay I'm

play06:50

not and I don't suggest that you know

play06:53

anyone does it why because again the

play06:56

market does not go up in a straight line

play06:58

the market moves in wave patterns I've

play07:01

said this many many times before and

play07:03

what I never like to do is I never like

play07:05

to buy during a wave up pattern I like

play07:08

to always buy on a pullback on a

play07:10

retracement on a wave down pattern that

play07:12

will happen once in a while so you've

play07:15

got to be patient to add on Wave Downs

play07:17

then you get in at uh better prices so

play07:20

again as you guys know you can just look

play07:23

at the wave patterns right you've got

play07:25

you know wave up wave down wave up wave

play07:28

down wave up wave down wave

play07:31

up wave down and right now we are on a

play07:35

wave up pattern okay now again I like to

play07:39

buy on a wave down so when will we start

play07:42

waving down no one knows everyone tries

play07:44

to guess no one can predict the absolute

play07:46

future but it will wave down eventually

play07:49

maybe in July maybe in August maybe in

play07:52

September so usually as you guys know

play07:54

August September tend to be the

play07:57

seasonally weaker months is it a

play07:59

guaranteed of course not but it's just a

play08:01

guess right so don't be surprised that

play08:03

maybe in in in July August September we

play08:06

get a bit of a wave down all right if he

play08:09

waves down to this red line over there

play08:12

the 20 EMA on weekly candles that could

play08:15

be a level to add if you're looking to

play08:19

average in dollar cost average in to the

play08:22

uh S&P 500 let me kind of like draw a

play08:25

line there somewhere around there you

play08:27

know 5173 could be a level to add shares

play08:30

right and you never know sometimes you

play08:32

could get an even bigger retracement

play08:35

that be another uh potential level of

play08:38

Support over there which was the

play08:40

previous swing low let me just get rid

play08:42

of this that uh so you can see clear

play08:45

right previous swing low there right and

play08:48

then if we get a much bigger correction

play08:51

which usually remember that in a

play08:53

year the market tends to drop

play08:57

5% at least

play09:00

two to three times a year right on

play09:02

average and the market tends to drop 10%

play09:04

at least once a year when it happens no

play09:06

one knows all right but it will happen

play09:08

so when as an investor I always like to

play09:11

identify a key support levels and these

play09:14

will be the key support levels first at

play09:15

a 20 EMA at

play09:18

5173 second support level at the

play09:20

previous swing low that coincides with

play09:23

the 40 EMA at

play09:25

4954 and finally at the 50 moving

play09:28

average on weekly candle that coincides

play09:30

with the previous swing high so these

play09:32

are three very very strong support

play09:35

levels and again like I said as and when

play09:38

the market corrects down this would be

play09:39

levels where I would add I would add

play09:43

into the S&P 500 if I was you know

play09:46

dollar cost averaging and these are

play09:48

intelligent levels to add because you

play09:50

never know where the bottom is in a

play09:52

correction right it could hit this level

play09:54

and then go back up or this level go

play09:56

back up so we can never pick the bottom

play09:57

and that's why it makes sense to always

play09:59

average in our position now I hear some

play10:01

people saying to me that Adam the S&P

play10:03

500 is at an all-time high it's up 15%

play10:06

but the stops I own are are barely up in

play10:09

fact some of them are even down and my

play10:11

portfolio is not doing too well this

play10:13

year now you are not alone the reason is

play10:17

this that so far the gains in the S&P

play10:20

500 are skewed to just a few companies

play10:24

bringing up the entire index so if we

play10:27

take a look at the the 10 sectors that

play10:30

make up the index right you've got

play10:32

technology communication Services

play10:34

financials Healthcare and so and so

play10:36

forth and of of all these sectors are

play10:38

they all going up equally as much no you

play10:42

can see that most of the gains are

play10:44

driven by you guested technology and not

play10:49

all the technology companies only some

play10:52

of them which are the AI related

play10:55

Hardware companies those are the ones

play10:58

that are driving all the gains in the

play11:00

market and there are some technology

play11:02

stocks for example like IT consulting

play11:05

Essentia or software companies like

play11:07

sales force that are barely up this year

play11:09

in fact some of them are down this year

play11:11

and the other one that's up a lot would

play11:13

be communication Services driven by

play11:15

Google and meta the two biggest

play11:17

contributors of communication Services

play11:20

financials are up as well but only up 8%

play11:23

Healthcare also up up 7% consumer

play11:26

defense is up 6.9% it Industrials up

play11:30

6.4% utilities up

play11:33

5.85% energy up 4% but consumer

play11:37

discretionary also known as consumer

play11:39

cyclicals of which I've got quite a bit

play11:40

myself is only up 3% this year and basic

play11:44

materials down 1% and real estate down

play11:48

5% so unless your portfolio of stocks

play11:53

are heavily

play11:54

weighted into Nvidia or asml or apple

play11:58

those few Hardware AI related companies

play12:01

chances are your portfolio is not that

play12:04

exciting this year it is probably

play12:06

underperforming the S&P 500 and you know

play12:09

something it's fine no matter how great

play12:12

you are as an

play12:13

investor you can't always beat the S&P

play12:16

in the short term and I can tell you

play12:18

that even myself the first 6 months of

play12:21

the year I'm not beating the S&P 500 I'm

play12:24

not right I I always beat the S&P over

play12:28

the medium the long run but short term

play12:30

there are times when I underperform the

play12:32

S&P why because although I have

play12:36

Microsoft I've got Apple I've got asml

play12:40

I've got Nvidia I I do have all these

play12:42

companies but I also diversify into

play12:45

other companies I've got Pepsi I've got

play12:47

McDonald's I've got Hershey so because

play12:49

I'm so

play12:51

Diversified uh my other sectors or the

play12:54

stocks that I own in other sectors like

play12:56

consumer discretionary or defensives

play12:59

they're not up as much and so my

play13:00

portfolio is uh not beating the S&P year

play13:04

to date so well let me just show you

play13:07

this is my uh returns year today where

play13:10

is

play13:12

that ah there we are okay so year today

play13:16

the S&P is up 15% my portfolio is only

play13:20

up 12% so I'm slightly trailing the S&P

play13:24

500 and again reason is because if you

play13:27

take a look at my portfolio allocation

play13:30

by the way this is my actual portfolio

play13:31

I'm not going to reveal all my stocks to

play13:33

you unless you become uh unless you're

play13:37

in my private Community then you can see

play13:39

every single position every single

play13:40

allocation right but you can see that

play13:43

technology makes up 31% of my portfolio

play13:46

so this is the one that's driving my

play13:49

portfolio all right again not all stocks

play13:51

I I own Salesforce that's down uh but

play13:54

it's my Nvidia that's up it's my

play13:56

Microsoft that's up right and I've got V

play13:59

which is technology that's down as well

play14:01

so I've got quite a number of tech

play14:03

companies that are down this year as

play14:04

well all right I've got 24% into

play14:08

consumer discretionary so I've got a

play14:10

heavy weightage into this and this has

play14:13

not been outperforming so far this year

play14:16

as I showed you earlier on consumer

play14:18

discretionary also known as consumer

play14:20

cyclicals that is only up 3% year to dat

play14:24

and that's why that is in a way pulling

play14:27

down my portfolio

play14:29

returns okay uh let's go back to that

play14:33

and I've got uh my next biggest chunk

play14:36

would be healthare that's up as well but

play14:38

not as much I've got financials 11%

play14:41

again up as well not that much I've got

play14:43

10% communication so that is helping me

play14:45

a lot I own meta I own Google so that's

play14:48

pulling up my portfolio as well I also

play14:50

own 6% of consumer staples like

play14:53

McDonald's like Pepsi like Hershey's and

play14:56

and and that's not been up so much this

play14:58

year

play14:59

okay so as an investor if you are not

play15:03

outperforming the index does it mean

play15:05

that oh you suck you're lousy investor

play15:07

no I can tell you that in the short term

play15:11

whether you outperform the index or not

play15:13

in the short term in a few months or

play15:14

even a year it's not skilled it's luck

play15:17

it's completely luck right because it

play15:19

depends on which sectors are in rotation

play15:23

for example if you happen to have most

play15:25

of your stocks in technology and AI

play15:28

Hardware of course you beat the market

play15:30

you do really well right because that

play15:33

sector is what we call in

play15:35

rotation so different sectors in the

play15:38

market they take turns going in and out

play15:40

of rotation right so when you are when

play15:43

you have a diversified portfolio in

play15:45

different sectors certain sectors will

play15:47

outperform certain years and certain

play15:49

sectors will underperform certain years

play15:51

for example in

play15:54

2022 it was the complete opposite right

play15:56

in 2022 if you H any technology stocks

play16:00

whoo that dropped significantly in 2022

play16:03

but which sector was in rotation in

play16:07

2022 energy if you recall in 2022 energy

play16:12

did very well energy was uh double

play16:15

digits right whereas technology

play16:17

was uh minus you know 20% now of course

play16:22

we would love to predict exactly which

play16:24

sector will outperform this year which

play16:27

sector will underperform

play16:29

but there's no way you can predict

play16:30

there's no way to know until it happens

play16:33

all right but like I said if in the in

play16:37

the longer term in over 1 three 5 years

play16:40

it's not about luck if you hold great

play16:42

companies regardless of the sectors you

play16:45

will beat the S&P 500 right so for

play16:48

example just in a onee time frame uh the

play16:51

S&P is up let me just show

play16:53

you um let's see let's bring up trading

play16:57

view okay this's as

play16:59

so like I said for year to date it's up

play17:03

15% right so my portfolio is trailing

play17:05

slightly at

play17:07

12.25% but on the 12 month time frame

play17:10

the SNP is up 24% for the last 12 months

play17:15

but my portfolio in the last 12 months

play17:18

is

play17:19

up 26% right so I am

play17:24

outperforming uh the S&P in a one-year

play17:27

time frame and in a threeyear five 10

play17:29

year I am way outperforming the S&P 500

play17:31

right so like I said no matter how good

play17:34

you are you can't beat the market all

play17:36

the time in the short term but medium to

play17:38

long term you will always beat the

play17:40

market if you invest in the high quality

play17:46

businesses regardless of which sectors

play17:48

they in because again different sectors

play17:50

will take turns going in and out of

play17:52

favor of Mr Market but in the long run

play17:56

great companies regardless of sectors

play17:58

will do really really well now the fact

play18:00

that not all sectors not all stocks have

play18:02

joined this AI Bull Run so far this year

play18:07

is that good news or bad news well I'm

play18:09

the comp person who always says it's

play18:10

good news there's always a blessing in

play18:13

disguise there's always a silver lining

play18:15

and the Silver Lining is that even

play18:17

though the market is near all-time highs

play18:21

there are still certain sectors and

play18:23

certain companies that are undervalued

play18:26

that are cheap and as a as an

play18:29

intelligent investor instead of chasing

play18:32

those stocks that are running that are

play18:35

you know now overprice why not look at

play18:37

the ones that are still relatively

play18:40

attractive so that's my next focus in

play18:44

this video and I can't cover everything

play18:45

in this in this video so I'll do a part

play18:48

two where I'll go into more specific

play18:50

companies for you guys to consider again

play18:53

not a recommendation for you guys to buy

play18:55

but just to think about what kind of

play18:57

companies I look for and you could also

play18:59

look for your your own type of companies

play19:02

that suit your investment

play19:04

criteria all right so again uh the

play19:07

million dollar question is what do you

play19:09

do right now with markets near all-time

play19:12

highs now for those of you who are just

play19:15

investing in the ETF like I mentioned

play19:18

earlier would I buy the SNP ETF or the

play19:22

triple Q ETF right here and right now no

play19:26

I won't all right so one of my

play19:28

disciplines again is I never buy after a

play19:30

wave up even though the wave up could

play19:33

still wave up even more you can never

play19:35

tell when is the exact point when the

play19:39

wave up will end and you wave down

play19:41

there's no way to predict for certain

play19:43

there's no way to predict right so what

play19:45

what I would do if I was again just

play19:47

buying the ETF would be I'll just wait

play19:50

for the wave down whether it comes in

play19:51

July comes in August comes in September

play19:54

when it comes then I'll start to um

play19:58

dollar cost average and add to my ETF

play20:01

positions when it hits these significant

play20:05

support levels and that is if I'm buying

play20:07

the ETF so how about individual

play20:09

companies so I divide them into two

play20:12

groups number one would be those

play20:13

individual companies that are leading

play20:16

the rally this year they up double

play20:17

digits and they are overvalued that's

play20:20

one group right then another group are

play20:22

very good companies but they have been

play20:24

left out of the rally for whatever

play20:26

reason and they are currently

play20:27

undervalued so let's talk about the the

play20:30

the first category which are great

play20:32

companies but they overvalued because

play20:34

they are leading the AI RAR a good

play20:36

example is NVIDIA so Nvidia currently is

play20:39

my fourth largest position in my

play20:42

portfolio and for

play20:44

NVIDIA I hear half the people in my

play20:48

communities uh getting nervous and say

play20:50

it's got up so much it's got to come

play20:52

down it's got to come down it's

play20:53

overpriced and they want to get out they

play20:55

say you know they want to sell right

play20:57

then I've got another group who are

play21:00

saying it keeps going and and I'm not in

play21:02

the store and you know should I buy so

play21:04

got half the people wanting to get into

play21:06

Nvidia they up wanting to get out so

play21:09

what to do right so again never allow

play21:11

emotions to drive your decisions whether

play21:14

is it for more the fear of missing out

play21:16

or the fear of losing profits so always

play21:19

think logically like the owner of a

play21:20

business so what am I doing for my

play21:23

Nvidia position the answer is I'm not

play21:25

selling why am I not selling because

play21:28

long run I expect it to continue to grow

play21:30

and compound but neither am I buying

play21:34

more right now why because although I

play21:36

expect it to uh double in the next 5 to

play21:39

6 years because it's a long Runway we at

play21:42

the start of the AI Revolution but

play21:44

shortterm Nvidia is slightly overvalued

play21:47

and it is slightly overextended and so I

play21:50

I won't buy until it gets a bit more

play21:53

attractively priced so again

play21:55

overextended basically means overbought

play21:58

as you know prices move in wave patterns

play22:01

which I keep saying right you've got to

play22:02

wave up wave down wave up wave down wave

play22:05

up wave down wave up wave down wave up

play22:08

so right now it's on this wave up

play22:09

pattern and it's getting a bit

play22:12

overextended and eventually it's going

play22:14

to wave down no one knows exactly when

play22:17

it could be waving down right now it

play22:19

could be waving down in in July August

play22:21

September we don't know right so the

play22:23

whole thing is I never like to buy I

play22:25

never like to so chase the girl you know

play22:28

I always like to wait for the girl to

play22:30

run into my arms when there's fear in in

play22:33

in the market right so for me I'm

play22:37

waiting for NVIDIA to retrace at least

play22:40

nearer to this red line This 20 EMA on

play22:43

weekly candles before I want to add more

play22:46

to my position yeah that's based on the

play22:50

on the technical perspective now on the

play22:52

fundamental perspective is all about

play22:53

valuation so my recent valuation and

play22:56

again bear in mind that valuations

play22:58

change all the time every every time the

play23:00

company releases its new earnings

play23:02

results New I've got new free cash flow

play23:05

and growth projections I have to revalue

play23:07

the stock and Nvidia is a one of the

play23:09

unique companies that every time they

play23:11

announce their new earnings results I

play23:14

have to revalue it very very fast but

play23:16

based on their last report my intrinsic

play23:19

value for NVIDIA which I mentioned

play23:21

earlier on is between $1 and $22 my base

play23:25

case valuation to my more pessimistic

play23:28

valuation of $94 so this is my what my

play23:32

my valuation range so my discipline as a

play23:35

value investor is to never buy when it's

play23:38

overpriced no matter how great it is

play23:41

right I want to wait for the price to

play23:43

drop below the intrinsic value which is

play23:47

122 so it must get below 122 before I

play23:51

would add more to my position and

play23:54

ideally not only drop below the

play23:55

intrinsic value but drop to a

play23:57

significant

play23:59

support level of which I've identified

play24:01

the closest support where I may add

play24:03

start adding more to my early fourth

play24:05

largest position is

play24:08

101 okay and then uh if it even retraces

play24:11

even more to uh what's the next level uh

play24:14

87 then of course you know I'll add even

play24:16

more to my position so this is an

play24:19

example of a stock that has let this

play24:22

rally another example of a stock that

play24:24

read LED this rally is of of course

play24:26

apple apple is in my portfolio but it's

play24:28

it's not uh a very big position I wish

play24:30

it was but it's not uh because I didn't

play24:34

get a chance to buy enough before it

play24:36

started flying up really really fast so

play24:38

in the case of Apple you can see that my

play24:42

intrinsic value is 166 okay so and right

play24:46

now it's 207 so you know it it's

play24:47

overpriced you know so again Apple I own

play24:51

Apple am I selling it no because Al

play24:54

although shortterm it is overpriced

play24:56

slightly it is OV extend ended slightly

play24:59

but long run Apple I believe would

play25:02

continue to compound and grow my wealth

play25:05

because it's got such a dominant uh

play25:08

position uh but would I buy more Apple

play25:11

now no I won't right so again I'll only

play25:12

buy Apple if it gets below my 166

play25:17

intrinsic value for example right and

play25:20

again if you take uh the whale investor

play25:23

call you will learn how to calculate the

play25:25

intrinsic value for all these kind of

play25:27

companies and and if you're if you want

play25:30

me to do it for you yeah subscribe to

play25:32

the ultimate investors Playbook where my

play25:34

play25:41

they get my updated intrinsic values my

play25:43

updated support levels you know every

play25:46

single month my updated portfolio

play25:48

reviews now how about the stocks that

play25:50

have not participated they have been

play25:52

left out of this AI buun here today for

play25:56

example in the Dow Jones index that's up

play25:59

this year but you know what they've got

play26:02

some components like Cisco down 6% Intel

play26:06

down 36% you've got Boeing down 31%

play26:10

Salesforce down 5.9% United Health down

play26:13

8.4% McDonald's down 12% Nike down

play26:16

99.69% if you look at the NASDAQ uh over

play26:21

here right this is a NASDAQ 100 index is

play26:23

up tremendously this year but look at

play26:26

Adobe is down 9% Tesla is down 26% over

play26:30

here Lululemon down 38% year today so

play26:34

should you buy these unloved stocks that

play26:36

have been forgotten by Mr Market or

play26:38

should you stay away from them because

play26:39

something's wrong with them well it

play26:41

depends some of these stocks I think are

play26:43

great companies and are just down

play26:45

temporarily for all kinds of stupid

play26:47

reasons and it's a great opportunity to

play26:49

add these stocks but on the other hand

play26:51

there are some stocks that are down a

play26:53

lot this year that I wouldn't touch with

play26:54

a 10- foot pole because I think there

play26:56

are some long-term structural problems

play26:59

with these companies so how do you tell

play27:01
