What to do in Current Stock Market in Oct2021: Sell out, buy more or hold or Reorganize ?

Also read : Invest in Stock market IF

We can broadly classify investors today in three kinds only

  1. Who have made lot of money in last 1 year or so and kept on riding and still want to ride further
  2. Who are sitting on sidelines and thinking to jump or have jumped in last few months
  3. Those who wanted to exit now looking at various indicators

Most of the investors I talk are fearful of immediate correction in market, though they have not exited the market yet to cash positions. Some of them are confident after making money in last one year. Even the so called new breed of investors are also 1 year old in markets and calling themselves experienced now who have seen volatilities, and buying every dip. Time will tell who will be the Last Standing Man

So as you are reading this article, did you notice where do you belong? If you feel you are outside the purview of these three kinds, you have two choices. 1. Align to one of the view 2. Send me with your classification!

Congratulations, if you are able to see yourself amongst one of the three kinds mentioned above

Question still remains same for everyone : What to do now? Should we buy, sell or keep holding? What’s next : Is it bull market or is crash near?

Let’s read further to understand more about it and see what strategies people can adopt

Case 1. Sell out 100% and wait to re-enter at lower levels

This strategy is for people who

  • Are facing Liquidity challenges
  • Can’t sleep properly due to fear of crash in markets
  • Borrowed money to invest
  • Goals are near ( within 1-2 years)

OR

You are able to foresee with your experience drastic correction coming. It may be due to Evergrande default or US debt or may be some other reason

Advantage with these strategy is you may not lose capital if market goes down and may get a chance to re-enter at lower levels. Problem with this strategy is it is impossible for anyone to predict whether market has topped out or not. Will Market go further up and can give you a bigger chance to cash out? Will market come down and give you a chance to enter at lower levels. Nobody knows. Get away from people if they claim to know.

It is always better to cash out if our goals are near or we have debt to pay because when correction happens, it will not give you a chance to exit at your desired levels

This strategy although seems good but it can be painful as markets may remain irrational longer than you remaining rational and you might keep on getting the itch to enter again.

So be careful of this approach and you have to be sure when you should re-enter.

Case 2 Go opposite and buy more

I will strongly advised against this

Problem with this strategy is most of us will be invested in 40-50 stocks on tips from random sources and keeping most of the stocks which are in loss. So if market correction happens, we will not be having enough money to average down all stocks.

In case, you have idle money and have a itch to invest at these levels, in such cases adopt a simple strategy

  • Keep buying same quality stocks based on quarterly results or in sip mode
  • Plan your investment in a staggered manner instead of putting money in single go
  • Invest the money which you don’t need for next 5 years

Correct portfolio allocation and conviction in the chosen stocks is a must for investing at these levels.

Case 3- Hold and reorganise your portfolio

This strategy is for people

  • Who have long term views on equity
  • Who have money available to invest right now
  • Who do not need to sell out as no immediate money requirement
  • Who understand their stocks and sitting on good cushion of profit in last one year and can handle 30% downside
  • Who will not panic when market falls down and quality watchlist is ready to buy in such an event

Under this strategy, adopt the simple course of action

  • Reduce number of stocks to a level which you can track easily. (20 stocks in a portfolio is considered reasonable for an average investor to track)
  • Reduce the stocks positions partially or completely which you have bought on tips and not working or in loss. Getting out with a small loss is good at these levels to rearrange your portfolio
  • Moving some part to cash from positional stocks. May be keeping cash close to 30-40%
  • Buy stocks from upcoming niche sectors
  • Buy more of convincing stocks with long term horizon of 3-5 yrs.
  • Increase the positions in stocks which are showing a promising future and management is walking the talk

Case 4- Sell Partially

This strategy is for people

  • Who are ready to leave last 10-20% gains on table
  • Who are ready to have patience for their cash deployment
  • They do not feel zealous when other people make money and they themselves stay in cash
  • Under this the simple course of action is
  • Sell partially up to 10-25% and sit on cash, may or may not get a chance to deploy cash soon and wait can get longer
  • Rest 75% to 90% should remain invested, so if markets runs up, they are still in the market

What I am doing in this market? My answer is Case 3 ( changed from Case 4 earlier this year)

  • I have booked out of most positional stocks apart from few holding with my closed group of people. Last few months, i have moved to already 35-40% cash but at same time reshuffled that cash to strengthen my existing positions or build new positions aligning to next few months
  • I am holding stocks which have good story building up and adding more on each quarterly result. I do expect strong quarterly results of my investment holdings
  • Any new stock which looks promising to me, I am adding as positional and converting to investment as my conviction increases
  • I am not averaging down any stock as of now

So that effectively means

I am putting money into the market from so many booked positions in last few months and adding new positions

I am selling my existing less convincing or loss making positions

I am not waiting for correction in market as i have sufficient liquidity available

I am re-organizing my portfolio for next cycle of market

I am happy to ride with my invested convincing positions

Overall, what I learnt from markets in my journey is very simple and easy to follow :

You can’t be 100% invested in market

You can’t be 100% sold out from market.

Will correction happen–Few events like US Debt, Tapering of interest rates, China India talks failure, China Power crisis, India Power crisis can dampen the spirit much faster than anticipated. So yes, quite a few things are bad, China power crisis is biggest of them. Any correction will be fast and furious. Be ready to see 30-40% erosion of capital seen on Screen today.

Are things all bad — On other hand there is good results anticipated for Q2FY22 both QoQ and YoY in many companies. Bigger population has been been vaccinated either partially or fully so effectively third wave is ruled out for few more weeks. Currently many things looking positive. Be it exports, be it festive demand in many sectors. Nifty has made new highs and can go further up. In short term upside seems limited though if everything falls in place, 21K on Nifty cant be ruled out within 7-9 Months (Jun-Jul2022)

Whatever strategy finally you adopt. don’t be a blind follower

Essential Cash Flow Tips for Small Business Owners

Guest Blogger : Michael

For more valuable financial resources, check out the Alpha Affairs website!

Cash flow issues sink small businesses every single day. If you’re not on top of your cash flow, future financial problems are inevitable. Learning about common cash flow issues and good financial management practices will ensure you don’t fall victim to the mistakes made by many other small business owners. Below, we share some great tips to help you establish good cash flow practices from day one!

Protect Your Personal Assets

Before concerning yourself with your business finances, make sure your personal financial health is in good standing. Many first-time entrepreneurs don’t think about the fact that their personal assets are at risk in the case of litigation or overdue business debts. Shield yourself from financial hardship by establishing your business as a separate legal entity.

One of the easiest ways to do this is to form an LLC. Besides shielding your personal assets, forming an LLC will also offer tax advantages that can further support your financial health. You can form an LLC online through formation services like ZenBusiness. Just make sure you review the rules and regulations around forming an LLC in your specific state before moving forward!

Speed Up Accounts Receivable

The faster you can get money coming in, the better. Collecting money owed to you by customers and clients will ensure you have the cash you need to pay your bills on time. Thankfully, there are many things you can do to speed up your accounts receivable. Consider asking clients for a deposit before starting work on a project. Invoice your clients as soon as the work is done. And make it as easy as possible for people to send you money by setting up digital payments. If your clients tend to wait a long time before paying their invoices, consider establishing late penalties or early payment discounts to incentivize them to pay faster.

Cut Your Ongoing Expenses

Many small business owners don’t start thinking about making expense cuts until they’re facing tough times. But to keep your cash flow strong, try to be mindful of your spending at all times. Always be on the lookout for ways to reduce your ongoing expenses, whether this means downgrading to a less expensive email service provider or reducing the size of your office and hiring remote employees. When cutting costs, don’t sacrifice the quality of your products or your customer service. As MoneyHighStreet explains, striving for high levels of customer satisfaction and encouraging repeat business is much more affordable than continuously looking for new customers.

Stabilize Cash Flow with a Line of Credit

Cash flow naturally fluctuates throughout the year. As consumer shopping behavior shifts with the seasons, it can be tough to keep up with your spending needs. For example, if you need to purchase extra inventory ahead of the holidays, you may be short on working capital for a while. This is where a line of credit can help you out. A line of credit will allow you to access cash quickly, so you can pay bills or purchase inventory when your cash flow slows down. Unlike traditional loans that require a long and drawn-out application process, lines of credit make money available whenever you need it.

Lines of credit are ideal for established businesses but may not be available for startups. According to ZDNet, most lenders will require that your business has been operating for at least 6 months and earns an annual income of $25,000 or more. You may have to rely on a personal line of credit until your business is established enough to qualify for its own.

Maintaining healthy cash flow is key to the long-term success of your business. Make sure you always have the working capital you need to pay the bills and your business is sure to thrive! Taking steps to cut your costs, speed up your accounts receivable, and stabilize your cash flow will go a long way towards securing your financial future.

Tracking expenses for Profitable Rental Property Business

Guest Blogger : Seth

The Importance of Tracking Expenses for a Profitable Rental Property Business

Alpha Affairs is your source of financial, fitness, and health tips and resources. Subscribe now to live your best life!

Tracking expenses can mean the difference between success and failure for a business. For a company that manages multiple properties, keeping track of finances, managing your profit and loss, and monitoring expenditure can be a full-time job — a job that can be made easier with the use of effective accounting tools.

Why should I track expenses?

A record of expenses needs to be kept by every business, including one that’s focused on investment property. Tracking costs allows you to keep track of spending, which is especially important in larger organizations where multiple employees incur costs. Keeping an eye on your outgoings helps you make better analyses to minimize mistakes made through human error. Collecting data around your earnings and outgoings allows you to oversee your P&L and use the data to identify areas of weakness and potential growth. In addition, the government requires you, by law, to keep paper copies of some expenses for tax purposes.

What records do I need to track?

Fortune Builders estimates there are 14 types of expenses that a property rental business needs to track: property taxes, maintenance, utilities, property management, homeowners insurance, appraisal fees, home inspection, broker fees and tenant screening, marketing, property improvements, accounting fees, vacancy costs, business permits, and closing costs. Even for one property, this is a large number of expenses to monitor — multiply that by 10 or 100, and you can see the importance of sophisticated expense tracking systems.

How can I track my expenses?

A property rental business should focus on organizing expenses by specific categories, ideally by each property and by type of expenditure (i.e., repairs, insurances, etc.). Accounts should be regularly updated with earnings and outgoings for the entire business. Expense tracking can be done traditionally, through paper filing, via spreadsheets such as Excel, or through robust accounting software systems.

Paper tracking

It can be tempting to shun paper filing in place of modern accounting systems. However, paper filing does have some benefits. The IRS requires receipts for business expenses that are more than $75.00. Moreover, it is recommended that small businesses retain receipts for all purchases to track business expenses effectively. 

Paper tracking uses a traditional hand filing system to file documents into category folders. Paper filing is tedious, takes up physical space, and doesn’t give you an effective overview of your accounts department without transferring at least some of the data onto a spreadsheet or accounting system

Spreadsheets

For small businesses, the use of a spreadsheet may be enough to keep track of business expenses, and it has the advantage of eliminating some wasteful paper usages. However, spreadsheets for large businesses, or companies with many users, can become unwieldy and are open to human error. For this reason, spreadsheets are suggested for SMEs only.

Online accounting systems

For businesses, both large and small, that want a robust accounting system, QuickBooks Online Advanced is highly endorsed. Quickbooks process invoices, bills, checks, and expenses faster by allowing the user to input all data directly into the system, and it is connected to your bank and Paypal accounts. This complete integration into the financial aspects of your business allows you to see where your money is going by giving you a simple overview and analysis of your data. Quickbooks can be used to oversee a large number of employees, making this an excellent option for large companies. This sophisticated accounting system means your business is fully prepared when tax time rolls around.

Whichever method you choose to track your expenses, with managing rental property, it is imperative that you ensure that detailed accounts are kept and reviewed regularly. Successful businesses keep an eye on cash flow and use the data that they obtain to tweak practices to ensure growth and profit for the future.
