Been considering how I’m happy to own stocks, but not the market. US markets showing death crosses & today WisdomTree Quality Growth #ggrg too. Going to venture a change: high-PEG large-cap quality underperforms- passive has gone too far. Stock-pickers market? Or just cope? 🤔

I don’t trust this bounce, possible bear market rally. May fade as investors refocus in the future.

That said, small top up on Ashtead Tech #AT.l. P/E 12.7, Fwd PEG 0.5, ROCE 15%, ROIC 13%.

Reckon he’s finding an off-ramp. In two minds.

I bought: Amazon, Shift Four, F5, Nvidia, Broadcom. So that bolt has been shot.

But also moved the smaller remainder of my pension that was in equities into cash funds, to move once the dust settles.

Small top-up on Gaming Realms #gmr.l

Dropped Time Finance this week - Cheap on some metrics & growing, but don’t fancy holding an immature high yield business lender priced above its book into a potentially large downturn.

20% cash, waiting to see how this pans out.

Pension also only 25% equities.

Bargains await.

US market has surged driven by years of massive deficit spending (and cheap energy, low tax, huge internal market, etc). Now the US seems headed towards switching off the tap.

Meanwhile in Germany….

Looks like time to add that Euro area subscription to Stockopedia!

The DG2 podcast is the most insightful tech & investment analysis on a weekly basis. Highly recommended. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b...

Brad Gerstner pointing out US austerity, plus stage of AI roll out (high capex, fast depreciation, revenues trailing) have him 50% underweight.

Feeling tempted to sell everything else and just go all in on Yu Group, Time Finance, Alumasc, Water Intelligence, Gaming Realms and Ashtead Technology.

🤷

Seem to have found myself buying some Time Finance. Also added to Water Intelligence yesterday.

In a move to derisk had previously trimmed Wise, Concurrent and Synectics, and sold Games Workshop. Tilting towards lower P/E positions. Bargains galore again.

Backed out of Warpaint $w7l.l smallish trade - don’t like the price action. Nasty price action on Yu Group $yu.l, but tempted to add there.
February 19, 2025 at 12:59 PM
Seems like bargains everywhere again to me. Rebought Alumasc - fears of a slowdown came to nought. 20% YoY H1 growth and bought for a similar price I sold for several months ago. P/E 10.4, PCF 9.9, 7% forecast earnings growth, ROIC 17.2%. Organic growth in all units.

EnSilica 👀

Things seem to be looking up. Bought today.

Reluctantly sold out of Warpaint #w7l.l:
- Slowing sales momentum (Broker says transitory)
- Loss of SP momentum
- Lack of trading update
- Added risk from being relatively high P/FCF, P/E and forward PEG compared to some other holdings
- Death cross

Hopefully will get back in.

Wonder when Novo Nordisk will stop falling. IMO it’ll be one hell of a buy when it does! Price alerts all set.
January 18, 2025 at 10:34 PM
First two stocks on my buy list for 2025 already lined up. Both US small cap growth companies that have been clobbered since the Summer, despite growth trajectory remaining intact. Waiting on price to moving averages shifting to an uptrend before buying in both cases.

A reasonable year overall - beat the UK indices, but lagged the S&P.

Some speculative stocks have taken off in December - Spectral AI up over 60% and have bagged on Airship AI in under a month, albeit only a 1% position.

Top picks for 25:
#at.l #watr.l #wise.l #wpho.l #yu.l

All the best, HNY 🥳

Golden cross on Spectral AI #mdai. Up 66% since December 18th.
December 30, 2024 at 3:22 PM
New position - Windar Photonics. Leader in its field for mid-sized wind turbines, of which there are well over 100k globally without LiDar installed. Now has capacity to produce c. 2500 / annum at c. $50m value. Funded and orders now rolling in. Plus ARR from software. #wpho.l
December 23, 2024 at 8:46 AM
Looks to me like there are lots of cheap good companies still. Bought back into Ashtead Technology #at.l on Friday, as i think looking perky and now v good value for a high ROCE roll-up opportunity. Have a couple of others I can’t quite fit in yet.

Will Warpaint ever release a trading update? Was expecting one within the last couple of weeks. #w7l.l
November 29, 2024 at 7:52 AM
And that’s the remainder of my Alumasc #alu.l sold. Just too many warnings and downgrades around construction for me at the moment. End markets now very well diversified away from the UK, excepting utilities #yu.l and #good.l
November 26, 2024 at 11:49 AM
Yu Group #yu.l - Is this Bubba Gump Shrimp after the hurricane? Few upstart utilities remain, licences not being granted, nimble & free to nibble away at the big boys.

Raised by Paul Hill in his Vox podcast with Paul Scott, I don’t think either here yet to tag.

Does the regulator provide the moat?
November 24, 2024 at 12:45 PM
As with Warpaint #w7l.l a while ago, Games Workshop’s #gaw.l latest update makes it a ‘have to have it’. Gloomy forecasts have turned into excellent results.
November 22, 2024 at 12:58 PM
Following selling out of #adf.l am now also out of #etp.l - the budget has removed my confidence in UK focused recovery plays, plus read across from Genuit has me doubting a second half pick-up.

Sold my #ugrw - WisdomTree UK Quality Dividend Growth ETF - today and put it into my #ggrg - WisdomTree Global Quality Dividend Growth ETF - holding.
