This week’s update tells us that we are finally back on green figures!    The total ParaTopia portfolio has jumped from -3.5% to 2.7% between the 14th and 28th of October, showing positive returns for the first time since Update #0819 . My benchmark, OMX Stockholm 30 , is also doing great. Totally well-deserved too. 

SINCH.ST rose about 34% this Friday, contributing to the nice little peak in cumulative returns for my strategy (ParaTopia) as illustrated below. It turns out that my mentioned worries about the stock (see Buy-Side _ August 2022 ) might have been pretty harmless. Overall, this week's update shows some positive trends which are always encouraging.  Sure enough, I’m still losing money. Not to mention that I’m still losing more money than the market that I eventually aim to beat. But still, I remain hopeful.  

This update as of 14 Oct 2020 starts with an overview of my current asset weight allocation, post my latest investments as presented in The late October-buy . This is followed by the second graph, showing my asset returns so far.    My strategy is still dominated by the big industrial stocks SKA-B.ST and ABB.ST and the -6.3% return of SKA-B.ST can to some extent explain the lesser total portfolio return. Meanwhile, two clear winners of this period are SWMA.ST and SHB-A.ST, two financial services stocks that comprise only a smaller faction of my total allocations. FOMO anyone? 

About time for some new investments, and yes, I know, I am late, and I my sorry for keeping you on hold last weekend (it must have been truly devastating for all my currently ca. 14 weekly readers).  With that said, here comes an overview of my October buy, expected to enter the market on Monday, 10 Oct 2022.     The asset allocation above is, like the last month, Buy-Side _ September 2022 , derived using the expanding window approach as described in The Static, the Expanding, and the Moving  and with the single asset characteristic dolvol . My theta for October (θ = -0.30) is also like the one as of September, plus/minus a few decimals that is.
