S & P Index 500 one month study

Sept. 1, 2019

Introduction

It is my personal finance research. I learn that emotion is the biggest enemy of investment. I like to do a case study of S & P Index 500.

One month chart

Here is one month chart.

I purchased ETF and built my portfolio 3 month ago, S & P Index is around 2800. Last 30 days three times my profit went down less than $100 dollars except dividend.

Here is Key largo portfolio on Sept. 1, 2019.

Here is Victoria portfolio on Sept. 1, 2019.

My understanding is that I should not play like a day trader. But those fluctuations are so interesting for me to watch my portfolio. If I play with the market, then I may get addicted and affect my daily work and life.

Actionable Items

I like to learn how to invest long term. It is very hard to push myself invest all my 10 years savings in Canada into TFSA. So I should stay on the track on 3 year recession plan in worst case, I should target 10% return in 3 years, that is $4300 dollars profit.

If the market will not crash in 12 months, then I should get 10% return which is also $4300 dollars.

I may think about selling all my S & P index fund when S & P index is around 1900, and then purchase back when it is 1800. I can have 3 buy and sell in last one month.
