Transcripts
hi everyone so on this video I'm going
to speak about us stock markets so for
the last few months I haven't been
speaking about the US markets the reason
was that I wasn't buying much in that
market now I feel that the entire
position in the US is set to be pivoted
so I am building a lot of positions now
elections are going to happen so I'm
going to comment on that as well that
what kind of election rally we can
possibly expect and I will give you
stock specific commentary so on that
note let me quickly touch upon the
concept of long-term investing also that
many of us look for companies like 10
years K I'll buy something and I will
just keep on holding my positions so are
like some Indian companies Great from
that front or us companies Great from
that forant see guys I mean there are
good companies in India also good
companies in the US also but from
longevity point of
view 10 years you just keep it and don't
do much I think that these type of
companies are much greater in number in
the US do you really think that Google
Apple Amazon these companies are going
away like in the next 3 4 years no
almost all of us are using these
products on everyday basis meta for
example serves approximately daily
average users there are approximately
one third of the world uses like meta
products on daily basis now that's how
powerful these companies are so
therefore understanding about the US
market is also very very important
second key point that I'm also trying to
diversify my portfolio
internationally 12 a half%
ltcg tax so anything can happen in the
Indian market so all the profits
notional profits that you're seeing can
go away also so on that note it's very
important to internationally diversify
I'm personally doing it I will be moving
30 40% of my portfolio at least outside
India because I see that as a long-term
hedge I'm also starting an NRI community
in case you guys are interested in
joining that if you are outside India
you want to learn more about
International investing how to invest in
Dubai how to invest in US Stocks how to
invest in Thailand these locations I'm
personally going and visiting and
learning more about I'm currently in
Dubai I'll be spending a fairly long
period of time here to understand the
real estate market here I'll share all
those type of insights with you in the
NRI Community the link is there to join
in the description and comment box okay
so very quickly let me quickly touch
upon where NASDAQ currently is there are
two types of indices NASDAQ and S&P 500
in the US okay so
NASDAQ and even on my member Community
had categorically said that sip in
NASDAQ was very very good we bought a
lot here in this Zone and since then uh
ndaq has given very good run up the
reason was you know what this is like a
cup with handle that is getting formed
here so it will go something like this
and so this level has already been
achieved right so this was the midterm
perspective on NASDAQ which has already
been achieved so okay so this was
regarding the midterm now let us look at
the long term so if you consider this
entire pattern right so this is very
good accumulation that has happened on
NASDAQ with handle so if you figure out
the the technical Target of NASDAQ from
here to
here right now if you go and stick this
depth now then the level comes out to be
approximately 26,000 okay and ABI NASDAQ
ABI NASDAQ is somewhere here right so
this is the long-term Target for Nasdaq
there is a 50% clear gain from a
technicals point of view now maybe it
will take like 3 years I don't know but
from a safety point of view this
accumulation of entire NASDAQ in this
Zone is looks to be complete okay
Nares is going to eat up all the jobs e
narrative was there right very good
earning scheme for major tech companies
right so that also happened chips
manufacturing like
NV per I picked up a company called as
smci right in the last one and a half
two years so very very good bet for me
made a lot of money from this right meta
for example I will link the video here
also when I made it there was a lot of
negativity associated with that
because then the stock gave like 150%
plus run up 150% run up it was a clear
like you know lollipop to right I mean
in order to buy this stuff literally
like if you pick good companies at a
discount you're almost given to make
money you understand thing confidently
and make bets and even if you can make
even two such bets literally two such BS
then you know what you will generate
like massive wealth so okay so because
you will say that okay I miss the SMC
rally I miss the Nvidia rally I miss the
meta rally what is it that I can do next
Amazon all that stuff so let me take you
point by point and see guys I mean I get
to speak with a lot of investors I'm
running my hedge fund so I get to speak
with a lot of international investors
they are looking for safety okay now in
the past if you go back like 10 15 years
ago the concept of safety was in bonds
right up
usy that will continue to happen but
there is a very High ultra high net
worth individuals these would be people
more than $30 million in liquid savings
or liquid wealth they where are they
moving right so they are actually they
will continue to invest in US tech
stocks especially NASDAQ oriented
companies nasda B it's like us Tech okay
so it's Tech heavy okay when I'm
speaking about S&P 500 that's like broad
based index in the US right
so Ultra
hnwi these people are going to continue
to invest in big Tech even going in the
future so correction I'll speak about
that but let me give you a very broad
macro view about us
elections so I'll show you like three
four key charts and then I will come
back to stock specific conversation so
this is exactly the type of data that I
will share on my NRI Community also so I
will do a lot of exclusive videos for
them also so in case you someone who
will benefit from International
investing definitely check out that
community so anyways coming back to the
topic if you take a look at this
particular chart what you will notice is
that in non-election years right
non-election years and election years
data made money right and lost money
right so in non-election years 70% of
the time you make money and in election
years almost 83% of the times you make
money so is it good to invest during the
election year the short answer is yes so
election November we can say that year
has started and given this data it
definitely makes sense to invest right
now if we look at the election year
stock market performance as per election
year in 1926 data so I don't think there
is any point in terms of understanding
that but from here if we actually start
looking at then we will see that 16% run
up 23% run up this was 2008 so this was
an anom year right van 16% run up 18%
right this is giving like you know
whatever only 10 and a half dollar
adjustment so dollar
adjustment keeps falling by roughly 4 to
5% a year okay so data this is not B
data right I mean when we are looking at
these type of returns because this we
have to understand in terms of dollars
now the second key data point that I
will show you is that many people try to
overinvestment interesting and what you
will notice is that see if you invested
in the entire time in S&P 500 nasda I'm
talking about S&P 500 okay then you
would have made the most returns but if
you only invested you know what
Republicans you know
market now please don't try to apply the
Indian election brain in the market
knowe
stocket market no don't do all this just
stay invested don't try to swing it
right that's what I'm saying right now
very very good time
November right in the US market not an
issue you have to be stock selective no
doubt about
that but from a macro level there is no
problem in terms of investing in US
Stocks as of now okay so now comes the
next point that okay fine I want to pick
some stocks then what possible options
can there be so number one is
NASDAQ so depending on Your Horizon risk
profile you can consider that
opportunity now this is not an
investment
ADV my job is not to give you investment
advice I'm just sharing my perspective
on things okay so if you take a look at
Google for example right s% roughly
similarly Amazon had been crushed a
little bit so
%% correction is happening in these type
of stocks on top of that if you look at
some big players portfolios War buff
portfolio what you will notice is that
from the quarter of
2023 he has maintained his positions in
the market he has not increased
it from the last quarter he was sitting
on how much 351 billion 331 billion SO2
billion and where has he cut his
position so for example you will see
that Apple stock you can see that he has
actually sold almost 13% of his holding
on Apple stock so what does this mean to
me as an investor and what is it that I
am reading from this so at a macro level
that there are two primary type of
stocks that are there in the US so one
are called as value stocks right and the
second are called as growth stocks right
so US market is f right the money
rotates from value stocks to growth
stocks and from growth stocks to value
stocks right now growth stocks examples
so these would be M7 companies the
Magnificent s
Google Netflix all these companies and
value stocks these are like your
consistent stocks like GM shipping
companies all that stuff so these will
be your value
stocks this is a very interesting data
point community so dat so what you will
notice is that this compares the 23 year
performance of 500 value versus growth
stocks right what you will notice is
that this orange line is value right
this blue uh line is growth stocks just
for example this entire phase right from
2010 to to almost like 2020 right this
was growth
phase met
Netflix
okay now what is happening that here
value stocks have started to rise right
and growth stocks Warren Buffet G is
cutting his positions you
know all
this example if you take a look at Apple
Computers what you will notice is that
it is almost at its alltime high in fact
it is still at its alltime high so
correction there is very good chance of
Correction now why is that the case
right the first key reason for that is
that there has been a massive AI rally
in the tech stocks now apple is not
necessarily playing the AI rally game uh
but other m7s they are heavily involved
for example Microsoft Google they are
betting a lot on AI okay second key
point is that interest rates are still
very high interest rates have not been
cut interest rate cuts that is when
these companies collect a lot of debt
right and they increase their debt
positions and throw a lot of money on
R&D which eventually kind of rallies the
market right so this game is still like
good 3 to 6 months away so from an
immediate short-term perspective there
is a very high chance of Correction on
these stocks whereas there is more value
well there is more value in value stocks
okay to consistent type stocks so one
stock where I'm looking quite heavily
into is called as a global ship lease so
let me do a very quick commentary here
so basically as the name suggests they
run like shipping containers okay so
whenever there is increase of trade and
more import exports coming to and from
us this increases China is rebounding
now there will be a lot of resumption of
trade between us and China and these
type of companies can benefit a lot
please note this is a highly cyclical
business right so this was when the US
China trade war broke out in 2016 this
company suffered a lot right
andb and now it is going sideways so
this is a very good turnaround stock as
per my understanding I will be building
some positions in this again this is not
a stock recommendation whatever you feel
like doing please do I'm just sharing
you my understanding of the entire thing
okay so whenever there is rebound in
China Chinese stocks not great
investment opportunity to be honest it's
very opaque right but these type of
China proxy play are much better in my
understanding for us as International
investors this is what I will teach you
right even on my n community tax tax
residencies how to ensure tax saving all
that stuff I will teach you through my
NRA Community also but these insightful
points is what you need to know in order
to do well in the stock market so
anyways uh coming to the topic that I
feel that this is a very good company
from that angle this is a example of a
value stock if I show you the financials
also you will see all green numbers
okay Oro right so this is in a very
strong rebound from that perspective and
I'll definitely be building some
positions on it so anyways quickly
summarizing number one NASDAQ is very
good from an SIV point of view right now
it is likely to give a breakout in the
next one OD year we can see a good rally
if the entire Market sort of Supports
number two key point is that election
years are good to invest and by no data
tells us that it is to invest so we
should definitely take advantage of that
number three we should not keep on
waiting right you
know no okay number four point there in
the short term there is a chance that
the growth stocks might correct
shortterm basis longm no problem in the
short term value stocks is where the
value truly lies so please identify more
I will also give you more commentary on
value stocks going forward I hope you
enjoyed this insightful conversation if
