The Largest Investment of My Life (Wall Street Hates It)

Hi guys, today we are going to look at my returns for last months and how I reached $126,000 in profit since I started this channel 20 months ago. I'm also going to show you all my current holdings, including what has become the biggest investment I ever made in my life. On top of that, I want to talk about the six unpopular stocks that deserves our attention and we will wrap it up with the tips of the week. A couple of video recommendation. Before we begin, let me try Jeremy's [music] trick. I appreciate you all for joining me. Thank you so much for being here. Please do one things for me and one things only. Just smash [music] the like button. >> Just smash the like button. >> Let's start with my portfolio. I think I have the most concentrated portfolio of any stock YouTuber. Only seven stocks. I'm taking a lot of risks and many people have commented that my portfolio is a big joke and they might be right. So, please do not copy me. Joke or not, I'm on a great run. Here you can see my performance since I started this channel. The blue line is the S&P 500. The green line is me. I'm up 90% in 20 months. Pretty pretty pretty pretty good. >> However, lately I feel a bit paralyzed. I cannot find the conviction to do anything one way or another. The second biggest piece of the pie is 43,000 in cash and I cannot find the spark to open a new position. I spend my days staring at Meta Chart wondering if I should open a position and what will happen with the eye and I end up doing absolutely nothing for over a month. Regardless, August returns were very nice, up 7% or about 17,000 in profit after a great 13% gain in July. It has been a great summer for my investments. Most of these gains come from my top position. This is now a $77,000 investment and is the single largest holding I ever owned. Last year I had 250 shares of Google. And when I sold around $300, they were worth around 75K. Last week, my current biggest holding officially surpassed Google. I'm talking about Dolingo. Mentally, it feels completely different than holding Google. With Google, I was relaxed. Buffett also bought right after me and confirming it was a really solid choice. Dualingo is not the same. Everybody is against it. It's a midcap company with 7 billion market cap. there is much more risk and volatility around it. I love the business, but holding it while it represents 29% of my portfolio, it's not easy. I'm quite conflicted. In one hand, I believe I am taking a little bit too much risk. On the other hand, I believe the company is worth more than the current market price, and Wall Street is slowly catching up. The same analyst that downgraded it a few months ago when I was heavily buying and building my position are now finally upgrading it to a buy. I don't want to sell it. Dualingo is more than double the size of my second biggest holding SoFi. There is a lot of fear around this company, especially connected to the Fed rate hikes and the effect prolonged high rates might have on SoFi loans. By the way, a couple of weeks ago, I pointed out how this trend line would act as a resistance and the stock stop precisely there. technically is critical for the bulls to clear this level and get above the 200 days moving average. Next is HIMS sitting around 10% of my portfolio. HIMS was doing fantastic until July and then problems hit bad earnings and new lawsuits. I believe healthcare will become way more digital in the future and hims is the clear leader in the space and this creates a massive tailwind long term. However, Andrew Dudum the CEO of hims is very hard to read. One day I watch an interview and I think is sharp and cool but the next day I feel management is incompetent and create unnecessary problems for the business for example with Novo. Speaking of leadership Adobe another 10% of my portfolio finally announced a new CEO and no one seems thrilled about it. Especially disappointed was Arya Radna who after publishing the video that became the northstar for Adobe Bulls decided to suddenly sell out and take a loss right after the new CEO was announced. To be honest, I'm not especially excited about this choice either, especially because another key leader of Adobe, David Vadvani, just resigned after losing the internal race for chief position. So, leadership uncertainty continues at Adobe even after naming the new CEO. However, let's not panic over it. I feel reaction was a bit rushed. Yeah, I uh I sold out of the stock >> this week. We have earnings results. So, let's first see what the management has to say. We check the numbers and then we decide. Technically, we are at a very critical spot. Since 2024, Adobe has been following this downtrend channel. We reached the upper level. So, finding resistance here is completely normal. Adobe also crossed the 200 days moving average and retesting that level is very common. The next few trading days will be very important. My three smaller holdings are Microsoft, Novenor, Disk, and Booking. I consider these three relatively defensive and with the 10-year yield around 4.8% equities naturally become less attractive. Micro fears are real with a 60% probability of a rate hike. Here is how my stocks reacted on Friday after the US economy added 162,000 jobs in August. Good news is bad news once again. So, please be prepared, mentally prepared for a big pullback. Before we watch the six stocks on my watch list, be sure to hit subscribe. You see these fake dollars? I need to test how they look on camera because very soon they will become real. Subscribe to the channel. I have a big surprise coming up for my audience. Let's talk about the companies that are getting my attention as a contrarian value investor. Four of them, and sooner or later I will buy at least one, are in the apparel and footwear sector. First, Lululemon. I talked about it in the past and I was completely wrong. Fortunately, I never actually bought shirts because generally I dislike clothing brand because the moat in fashion is really really fragile. Lululemon latest quarter was horrible, but the stock is now trading at 2018 price levels. Back then revenue was 2.7 billion and today is over 11 billion. Lululemon may have lost relevance but the valuation and the price seems completely disconnected for a company that is still producing positive free cash flow. Next is Nike. I've been tracking this long-term trend and right now we are at the lower bound of the channel. In my experience, beaten down stocks often experience a final panic breakdown before the true turnaround begins. I'm very happy I always found Nike too expensive in the past. Despite me being a contrarian and the stock keep going down, I managed to stay away during these five years of bare dominance. Now, we are finally approaching a valuation that has my interest. But if you don't believe Nike will turn around, the natural winner will be on running shoes. Topline growth is decelerating, but we are very close to IPO prices of 2022, but now the cash flow is real. Valuation is compelling. Last footware option is Deckers. High quality multibrand operation, an immaculate balance sheet, very cheap valuation, and check this great corporate habit of aggressively repurchasing shares with the cash flow. We are talking about a stock that went from 16 cents to $200 in a couple of decades. Keep an eye on it. Switching sector completely, Brad Jacobs KXO. It's a roofing and construction company. Jacob's playbook is straightforward. Raise capital, buy out competitors, integrate operations, and expand margins. Last couple of rounds, the raise capital at $16 in 25 and at $23 last January. Today, you can buy the same business around $13 per share. expect delusion along the way, but the riskreward setup seems asymmetric. I think it's an attractive contrarian bet. Finally, I want to diversified beyond the United States and I would like more direct exposure to China. In my watch list, I have PDD, Ping Du Duo. I found them extremely cheap compared to how dominant they are. Unfortunately, the lack of corporate transparency and the management that is not particularly shareholder friendly are stopping me from investing until now. To conclude the tips of the week, I consume an enormous amount of content to so let me give you a couple of tips on what's worth watching. First, Joseph Carson recent video addressing his portfolio underperformance. It seems as though something has gone terribly wrong. When I look at my portfolio and I switch over to the year-to- date, my performance so far is only plus 1.3%. His actual justification made zero sense to me. Drop a comment if you want to know my critiques. Anyway, kudos to Joseph for owning his underperformance and for being so honest and transparent. We need more YouTubers like him. Second, this Netflix untold documentary about Reagan. I don't use social media, so I didn't know about Reagan story before, but it's very contrarian. It's an inspiration about being different, even if people will have fun of you. Just buy when everybody is selling. Guys, thanks a lot for watching. Please help me out with the algo. Leave a comment, criticize my portfolio, or let me know a good stock pick. See you next time. Peace out.
