This week in the stock market felt pretty hectic, with a flurry of activity keeping investors on their toes. The S&P 500 has spent 45 days above its 200-day moving average, meaning we’ve been allowed to add new positions according to our strategy. Yet, with only 11.4% of the portfolio in cash, we’re nearly fully vested. While tech stocks faced some turbulence, our momentum-based approach continues to guide our moves, just as Andreas Clenow describes in his book, Stocks On The Move.
We initiated positions in Humana (HUM), a company in the healthcare sector offering insurance services, nVent Electric (NVT), a provider of electrical connection and protection solutions in the industrial sector, and Quanta Services (PWR), which operates primarily in infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, we made the decision to close out our positions in Dow Inc. (DOW) and Lumentum Holdings (LITE), among others. Both DOW and LITE were no longer in the top-ranked stocks, and along with Roivant Sciences (ROIV), which closed for a profit, didn’t align with our criteria anymore. Moreover, we’ve reduced our holdings in a few stocks, including Ciena Corporation (CIEN) and Coherent Corp. (COHR).
Technology remains the top sector in our portfolio, known for offering growth opportunities. Companies like Coherent Corp (COHR) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) usually play integral roles in this space. Currently, our top holdings are a mix of cash, MACOM Technology Solutions (MTSI), and Humana (HUM). This week, COHR led our portfolio, gaining 11.2%, while CIEN was our worst performer, down by 19.6%. Overall, our portfolio edged out a 1.32% return compared to the S&P 500’s decline of -2.77%. At present, our model is showing favor towards top-ranked stocks not held in the portfolio, such as SNDK, DigitalOcean (DOCN), DELL, Intel (INTC), and AMD.
