Investor Merja Mähkä Already in the early part of the year, it was thought that the value of his investment portfolio exceeds EUR 1 million this year. It was so close.
Then came Donald Trump and duties. As Mähkä on Monday morning lowered the value of his portfolio, he noticed that the value of his investments had fallen by eight percent, or about EUR 70,000.
The ride on the stock market has been so cold that you can consider the result as some kind of a victory. As an experienced investor, Mähkä has sworn to the name of decentralization and has now protected from higher losses.
“Half of the shares are in the United States and half in Europe. In addition, I started fixed investments a couple of years ago, and their share of the portfolio is now about 15 percent,” says Mähkä.
Relatively the biggest losses have been experienced by the shares owned by Mähkä Applebut he has owned it for so long, the investment is still 600 percent plus. Instead of buying a Christmas one Google and Broadcomin The shares were sold in February.
Due to the price invoice, Mähkä has increased Europe’s share weight at the US expense. In addition, he has sold some of the newer ones, including investing ETFs in Europe, India and the S&P 500. Old and brisk victory were allowed to stay in the portfolio. The funds obtained from the sales are now in cash.
“I also put a redemption request in one interest fund because I thought it would be nice if I had cash now,” Mähkä says.
After Friday, the amount of cash is a few tens of thousands of euros.
Mähkä is raised because the stock market crash always offers an investor to buy places. Trump is known to be volatile, and courses can also rise rapidly. That is why Mähkä thinks that the market cannot really be gone now.
“The situation is really difficult, because when this turns up, it can happen really hard too. At all, it is very difficult to know what’s going on here,” Mähkä says.
“On Friday, I thought that this would probably turn on Monday for the better, but it didn’t go.”
Although the situation is exceptional, the mole is better than the coronary crisis or the financial crisis, for example. Customs is a self -inflicted crisis that could also be stopped by itself.
“The medicine is clear, you just have to cancel these duties,” Mähkä says.
