Long story short, stock have always been my thing, quit job after 5 years to start a very small scale hedge fund-ish investment vehicle.
Long equity only, have been a devotee of Lynch and Fisher.
Currently having record of 29.49% CAGR since inception 4 years ago.
But due to the trade-war talks and whatnot currently 20% down for overall portfolio this yr, part of it also due to my mistake of switching strategy too often.
So valuation and stock quality remains unchanged, but the short term volatility started to eat into my confidence, plan to seek advice to go through this rough patch:
1) is it normal for stock to go so low that they will be traded at the same price 4 years ago despite the earnings have 5x as of now?
2) Will long term value focus strategy always prevail at the end of the day?
3) the operator are always so cunning on pressing down the prices, dun want to buy high and sell low back to them, have any1 face this before?
4) I've generally go over many diff type of industry and made the most out of oil, but for consistent record purpose, should I specialize in a certain industry I am good at? or just continue with the general value oriented approach. which would yield more in the long term?
5) Generally any other suggestion or experience sharing is welcome, or other problem and you've overcome in managing fund or related activities.
This is not a post/thread to advertise, nor to solicit any fund from anyone. Purely discussion and info sharing. And no troll pls thanks.Oh and English is not my first language.
im sorry but you have to be kidding me right? You started a hedge fund and you dont have an idea of why the value of stocks decrease during times of trouble?

I am still learning during the 1st 3 years and just had my big break last year, but somewhat I started to lose a bit of confidence over myself with such a sharp drop during the span of 1 week. Guess emotion gets the better of me. Anyway good reply there, really appreciate it.
Carter Roberts
so youre in the US?
Christopher Adams
You are right
Tyler Morales
Nope, SEA country, or as they call it emerging market.
Austin Torres
Personally i dont think youve got anything to worry about if youre in SEA because the USA cant win a tradewar vs china. If youre worried, start hedging and buy gold stocks
US non farm payrolls and unemployment rate coming out in the us in about 8 hours from now and if theyre good then your stocks may take a bit more of a hit. If youre associated with forex trading you could possibly short a couple currencies that trade against the US to hedge funds aswell
Asher Phillips
well you can take comfort in the fact that nobody in your industry has any fucking clue of what they're doing either.
