Beachman's Comeback Portfolio - Oct 2022 report
Portfolio: Month-end update on my portfolio performance and actions
October was a kinder month for Beachman’s Comeback Portfolio as we started getting positive earnings reports for some of our key holdings. A variety of macro indicators also started pointing to signs that inflation is coming down. This improved investor sentiment and they started buying the dip during the last 2 weeks of Oct. In fact, a certain level of FOMO set in as the Fear and Greed index pivoted from extreme fear to greed in just a few weeks. Not the pivot we wanted to see, but that was the only pivot we got.
Let’s take a closer look at the numbers.
