Single Stocks vs Sector: When to Buy an ETF?

-

 This of course isn't a financial advice.


Due to my Science background, I have a tendency to call "finance" stuff the way I understand them so don't be alarmed if some of the terms don't make sense, they make sense to me.

I find stocks to buy by browsing charts, but thanks to stock screener I now screen for stocks that meet the set criteria. More on this here: Systematic Trend Following Cheat Sheet. Around September/October 2020 I started to get a lot of property & financial stocks, not much from the mineral sector except for platinum group metals (PGMs). At that time I had a gold long position which was in the money but struggling to break to new highs.

It then hit me, what if there's a "sector rotation?". I missed the bull run in the commodity cycle due to my then limited knowledge, a story of another day. I certainly didn't want to miss another sectoral bullish cycle, I began to shortlist buy candidates. 

Problem: I got over 10 property stocks and all the banks at once, excluding Capitec. I can't buy all these stocks as it'll result in over-exposure in one sector. Then I wondered if buying an ETF could be a solution.



I now have Property and Financials ETFs in my portfolio, and few selected stocks from each sector. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) were depressed in the past 5 years, I don't expect a lot of distributions from REITs in 2021, but I'm targeting price appreciation.

Now I just have to remind myself that I'm an individual stock Trader, I can just use ETFs to avoid over-exposure in one sector.

How do you manage risk in your investments, let's hear in the comments.

Simple Guide to Stock Market Investing

-

 I opened a TikTok account, the plan was just to make silly videos. I thought that’s what everyone was doing there. After a while I realised that it’s actually a great learning platform, obviously depending on what you’re looking for. I have a YouTube Channel , in my channel I cover stock market related content. I basically trade stocks using technical analysis. Some market participants subscribe to the thinking of fundamental analysis and value investing, as you can imagine it was a struggle to reach 100 subscribers. After a few unsuccessful TikTok videos I decided to touch a topic I’m familiar with. I spoke about stock market investing. Ta da, now my videos started getting attention. The numbers of followers started to grow, up to the point where it became impossible to follow everyone back. I learnt that there are people who are interested in stock market investing but they lack information on where to start. I started to do live videos to respond to people’s questions. That helped

Trading System: A Beginners Guide

  To succeed in the market you need to have a trading (or investing) system. System =  A set of rules What to buy How much to buy When to exit; profitable and losing trades Design a system that is in line with your personality, and time allocation for trading purposes. Don't design a system that uses H1 time-frame when you have other commitments during trading hours. Don't design a fundamental analysis system when you don't understand the information presented in financial statements. Can't read a chart, forget about technical analysis based systems! After you've designed your system, it's time to test it (or back test it if you're an advanced Trader), you can use a demo account but I prefer to use a small, reasonable, real cash account (you can't back test emotions on a demo account). If the system is profitable, and you're emotionally ready to trade it, use it in 10, 50, and 100 trades. Check the numbers. Win rate, percentage of winners vs losers
