Investment strategy portfolio

Our investment portfolio strategy is selling out share in case of inefficiencies. Investment will only cover undervalued and overvalued stocks. In accordance to this strategy we will keep an eye on market changes particularly, fluctuation in the share prices to jump over a golden opportunity to earn maximum yield or short selling profit. Our selected companies in this investment portfolio are Google, Netflix, Nike, and Apple. Inc. We will buy shares and securities from these companies with different volume in light of possibility of yield or profit. We will determine which stock value will go down and which will have raise in next days. Monitoring stock market condition is the best strategy to get idea about when we should select put strategy and when call option can work well for our portfolio. We will also follow up short selling strategy by borrowing shares to selling that shares to cover our investment. Our strategy is to earn profit by circulating our investment rather than waiting for an investment (stock) to produce maximum yield. Rather than waiting for highest yield or profit we will prefer to get higher profit

Trade Justification of Investment Portfolio Strategy

Here in this section we will cover information about our buy and sell decisions for the presented below companies’ stock. See detailed justification and explanation for each decision

During the last month news came that Google stock prices will goes towards decrease because of changes in accounting rule and their policies in the company. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation was also a major cause of this problem (PRESSMAN, 2019). In accordance to the news stock surge was huge step that could influence the prices of stock in the market. Decrease in stock prices was expected to decrease organizational net profit of the fiscal year. Somehow, unexpected increase in the revenue of 1^st quarter forecasted that overall revenue will increase up to $30.29 billion with increase in EPS of 9.28. In the beginning of April 2019, news engaged out attention towards the possible increase of stock value because of Google reports of 1^st quarter performance. Understanding this situation, we took a decision to buy 100 shares of the company at price $1150. We later sold some of these shares at $1263.52 and secured profit of 11352 total on 100 shares.   

Netflix stock prices (NFLX)

Netflix Prices are changing continuously from last few years. Whenever, business gets stability stock prices goes up in the open market. While on the other than changes in the competitive market bring down the market value of stock offered by Netflix Company. While investing in the Netflix Company we conducted market research and analyzed share prices fluctuation to find a prime opportunity for investment (Kalogeropoulos, 2019). In the beginning of 2019, Netflix claimed that company is expecting increase in the overall profit of first quarter by 16%. Subscribers growth (as 29 million people subscribed Netflix) in 2019 was the indicator of potential increase in the financial position for the 1^st quarter of the fiscal year. But Netflix failed to surprise Wall Street with their business trajectory. Financial performance of latest quarter was not according to the expectations of the investors and administration of the company.

Netflix Investment Portfolio(NFLX)

We had stock of 300 Netflix shares in our investment portfolio. We were looking for an opportunity to select put option for these shares. In the beginning of January when news came out about the possible increase of profit, EPS, and net income we took a decision to buy undervalued shares of Netflix. We purchased 300 shares in January. We bought shares at market value of $290.23 in the first week of January and sold that shares at market value of $382.88. The total sold quantity was 250. Thus, we earned profit of 23162.5 on 250 shares.  

Netflix financial performance (NFLX)

As the news came out about the unexceptional financial performance of 1^st quarter, we forecasted the potential decrease in stock prices. Jumping on this opportunity we took a decision of short selling. We borrowed stock (350) for short selling. We shorted 350 shares at $399.12 per share and covered our position within 3 days at $382.88 per share. Thus, we covered 5684 on 350 shares. 

Netflix market to grab (NFLX)

After getting huge profit of 23162.5 selling 250 shares in the market at short selling we again took a decision to purchase more stock from Netflix market to grab on opportunity to get more profit by selling these shares. Considering this we again selected call option and bought almost 250 more shares of Netflix Company before the start of April 2019. Somehow, this time we realize that our decision was wrong. Price neither goes towards decline nor towards increase. At the time of buying stock per share market value was $382.88 and when we sold shares at one-week prices were as $383.72 per share. Thus, we only earned profit of $210 on 250 shares. In other words, we earned profit less than $1 on each share.

Apple Inc. stock (AAPL)

Apple Inc. stock is on tear. News present that stock is up over 43% since January 2019 (Leswing, 2019).  In the beginning of 2019, we got new about decline in the share prices of Apple Inc. Having believe on Apple stock market we purchased 300 Apple shares at open market value of $180.99. After waiting one week we sold 300 shares at market value of $204.43 and earned total profit of $7032.

Nike stock (NKE)

Nike shoes selling company is working efficiently in the market. Like other companies Stock prices are not rigid or fixed for Nike Company. Increase in market demands leads towards increase of market value per share (LARKIN, 2019).

Analysis the stock market situation of Nike Company (NKE)

Analysis the stock market situation of Nike Company we found that stock prices are going towards increase in future therefore we purchased 200 shares at 70 per share prices and sold later at 87.57. This is how we earned 3512 on 200 shares sales

purchased 200 shares of Nike Company (NKE)

Because of good experience in we again purchased 200 shares of Nike Company from open market at market value of $86.55 per share. Somehow, prices remained almost same after this buying decision so we found it an inefficient investment. Investing this amount in other companies we could get profit higher than this. So we decided to sell out these shares immediately when prices goes up. During this week prices went up to $87.57 each. We accepted this offer and sold 200 shares at $87.57 each to earn profit of $204 (almost $1 for each share).
