The Nasdaq is showing an increasingly sharp decline: -6% since January 1 and -8% since its November highs.<sup>er<\/sup>\u00a0janvier et\u00a0 -8% depuis ses plus hauts de novembre.<\/p>\n<p>What's more, most of its component stocks are down sharply (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-01-06\/number-of-nasdaq-stocks-down-50-or-more-is-almost-at-a-record?sref=ZVajCYcV\">40% of the index is down 50% over one year).<\/a>Finally, the famous \"insiders\", i.e. the management of these companies (surely the people most aware of the \"true value of the business\") are selling their shares in droves:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/07d9b3c3-9c8a-4d0f-bf25-a9e419d5b949\">they have sold $32 billion over the last 6 months against only $95 million in purchases.<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With valuations still excessive, an increasingly acidic inflation-rate hike cocktail and a certain warming of the spirits, it seems wise to ask the following question: what should you do in such a context when you are an investor and what are the different outcomes?<\/p>\n<p>In order for the markets to continue their ascent, inflows are needed. However, it seems that all the available liquidity is currently in the system, especially with leverage. It is therefore a market made up of many more potential sellers than potential buyers.<\/p>\n<p>Stagnation? Why not, but given the major changes that have impacted the markets in the last two years, the volatility generated by the retails flows seems to be a well established trend.<\/p>\n<p>A correction? It all depends on its magnitude, but it may be the most coherent scenario. Rising interest rates could prompt investors to sell their stocks and reallocate their portfolios to less risky assets.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, there is no simple answer, but it seems like a good time to look at your allocations and think carefully not about the upside potential, but rather about the downside risk of each of your lines - and to make the necessary changes to cushion the blow in the event of a hard blow.<\/p>\n<p>Have a good evening,<br \/>\nMax<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chers lecteurs, chers investisseurs, Apr\u00e8s une ann\u00e9e 2021 exceptionnelle sur les march\u00e9s, au cours de laquelle tant de records ont \u00e9t\u00e9 battus, il semble \u00eatre l\u2019heure de faire&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2848,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-le-billet-de-monocle"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
