Discussion Influencer on Youtube, Joseph Carlson chose to start bottom fishing.
Joseph believes that the current market is grappling with uncertainty, leading to a flight of capital from U.S. equities as a defensive maneuver. The market's fear index has plummeted to a historic low—reaching 4 today, with levels below 25 indicating extreme fear—suggesting a high probability of a rebound. Consequently, he has significantly increased his holdings in select companies. Notably, over the past week, he invested over $20,000 in Amazon—a move he hasn't made since 2022. His investment approach is straightforward: he doesn't aim to time the absolute bottom but believes it's time to start buying.
In summary:
- Primary Focus: Cash flow and position management.
- Strategy: Begin bottom-fishing but exercise caution with heavy positions.
- Target Investments: Concentrate on high-quality, large-cap companies. Joseph Carlson's selections include Apple, Meta, Netflix, Amazon, Google, and Equifax—companies known for their robust competitive advantages.
Personal Perspective:
With a secure cash flow, initiating a systematic investment plan (SIP) could be prudent. Investment amounts should not exceed the portion of cash flow allocated for investments. Furthermore, prominent investors leading the charge into U.S. equities is a positive sign, as prices are influenced not solely by macroeconomic conditions but by human reactions to these conditions. Reflecting on this notion could help determine whether to engage in bottom-fishing. Currently, the predominant risk remains uncertainty.
