1. Describe your half-year performance in one word.Thrilling2. What did you learn from a fluctuating market?When volatility spikes, it may be possible to generate above-average profits, but I also run the risk of losing a larger amount of capital in a relatively shorter period of time. Nonetheless, if I am disciplined, I may be able to take advantage of volatility—while minimizing risks.In fluctuating market markets, profits can suddenly vanish and turn into losses, so I consider ways to lock in more gains when I can. One approach here would be to lower the profit target for parts of my positions. If my stock is moving sharply higher, I would consider selling a portion of my position, while letting the remainder ride to capture any further gains.3. What is your investment plan for the rema

Stocks ended lower Monday as global investors reacted to a series of weekend protests in China over the country's Covid policies and braced for a key week of data releases on jobs and inflation that could define the Federal Reserve's near-term rate path. Hundreds of demonstrators clashed with police in Shanghai yesterday, with protests also breaking out in the capital city of Beijing, as anger over the country's strict lock-down policies, which are approaching their third year, boiled over following a deadly apartment fire in the city of Urumqi. Commentary on Chinese social media suggested the ten deaths from the fire were linked to restrictions that prevented a proper response from rescuers. The unrest has added another layer of uncertainty to global markets, already grappling with reces

$Apple(AAPL)$ is my top pick. Apple have an army of loyal fans. Many aren’t just Apple users – they’re Apple promoters. Many of them will buy multiple Apple products, no matter what the cost. And it’s hard to think of another brand that has managed to achieve the same adoration and fan base that this brand has. In terms of functionality, Apple knows how to create a product that’s really easy to use. Pick up an iPhone or log into an iMac and you can use it, without struggling to work out its features. Apple is a company that is known to put ease-of-use as the main goal when designing a product. And as technology continues to advance, Apple still manages to create a product that works for absolutely anyone using i

American Express has demonstrated incredible resilience as it recovers from early pandemic declines and navigates through inflation and macroeconomic volatility. As a financial services company with its own funding sources, it has greater exposure to risk from rising interest rates and spending dips, which makes its robust performance all the more impressive. Revenue increased 19% in the third quarter over last year, and net income rose 3%. This was powered by record cardholder acquisitions in certain categories, specifically for millennials and Gen Zers. These were the fastest-growing categories by age, making up 60% of new cardholder acquisitions. There was growth in spending in both the goods and services and the travel and entertainment categories, which has finally overtaken 2019 leve

While it may sound counterintuitive, it is actually safer to keep my money in the market during periods of volatility. Although my portfolio may take a hit in the short term, if I stay invested in a diverse array of stocks, I should be able to simply ride out the storm and wait for the market to bounce back. It can also be wise to buy more stocks during this time.

I will add more value stocks to my existing portfolio when facing a stock market crash. Value stocks would be a smart addition to my portfolio when the selling accelerates during a crash or steep correction. Not only are the vast m
