[Topic]Market Q3 Roundup: How Did Your Investing Perform?

Before the Roundup, How Did Your Investing Perform in Q3? Which market event in Q3 that that still shocks in your mind? For the coming Q4, what expectations do you have on investing or life?

1. Q3 of 2022 was a time when events took a truly extraordinary turn

Weekly: Sept Extends Relentless Decline, Facing a "Spiral Sell-off"?

Tumbled $10 trillion! A desperate Moment? Another Black Swan May Approach

As the Federal Reserve ratcheted up its monetary policy tightening to tame the worst inflation in decades, Pivot-Hope-Punisher Powell Leaves Q3 Global Market Bloodbath In His Wake.

The greenback is up about 7% for the quarter against a basket of currencies and stands near its highest level since May 2002. Still, the British currency lost 8.3% relative to the dollar in the third quarter.

The global stock market changed its strength last year, and the major stock indexes of many countries or regions fell by more than 20% in Q3.

  • According to Tradeview data, in Q3 2022, the Russian RTS index fell by 33.84%, leading the decline in major global stock markets. South Korea Composite Index, Shenzhen Composite Index, Hang Seng Index, Taiwan Weighted Index, S&P 500, Germany DAX and other indexes fell by more than 20% in the Q3.
  • India's SENSEX30 index, Britain's FTSE 100 index, and the Nikkei 225 index also fell with a decline of less than 10%.
  • The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ is down nearly 25% year-to-date. The Hang Seng Index of Hong Kong shares fell by more than 20% during the period. The A-share Shanghai Stock Exchange Index fell by 11.01% in the Q3.

Yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury which move inversely to bond prices, recently hit their highest level since 2008.

Global M&A just suffered its worst Q3 in a decade.

Oil markets just closed their worst quarter since demand collapsed at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, with prices for international benchmark Brent crude down 23%. $Light Crude Oil - main 2211(CLmain)$$United States Oil Fund(USO)$

2A number of large cap technology stocks fell significantly in Q3

From the performance of specific large companies, in the Q3 of 2022, American stock companies experienced a sharp structural differentiation.

According to Wind data, among the top companies in the US stock market, $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ became one of the worst performing big companies during the period, with a cumulative decline of nearly 60% in the first three quarters.

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ also became one of the worst performing big companies during the period, with its share price halved in the first three quarters.

In addition, in the first three quarters, $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ US stocks, $Alphabet(GOOG)$ Class A stocks, $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ ,$Microsoft(MSFT)$ and other stocks also fell by more than 30%.

While technology stocks fell sharply, oil and other energy stocks became the biggest "winners" in the Q3. Among them, $Exxon Mobil(XOM)$ cumulative growth in the Q3 was nearly 50%, and $Chevron(CVX)$ growth was more than 25%.

3. Downbeat Q3 Profit Growth

Analysts also become more downbeat on Q3 profit growth, with consensus estimates falling to 4.6% from 7.2% in early August, according to Refinitiv IBES.

European and U.K. companies with significant overseas exposures have experienced profit tailwinds from weakness in the euro and the pound relative to the dollar, but favorable exchange rates might not avert an earnings slowdown in the short to medium term.

As investors gear up for the third-quarter earnings season, a flurry of profit warnings from U.S. and European chemical companies has painted a picture of waning demand across the sector, with Europe and China as the main sources of weakness.

Many investors are looking to the next three months with trepidation, betting the selloff in U.S. stocks will continue until there are signs the Fed is winning its battle against inflation.

Equity strategists at $Morgan Stanley(MSSXL)$ said in a research note last week:

Foreign-exchange tailwinds might still blow over the next couple of quarters, but European stocks could still see a downgrade cycle down the road as a looming economic downturn is set to weaken end demand and erode companies' pricing power.

4. GDP Forcast for 2022 Q3

From BofA:

Overall, the data since our last weekly publication and our updated assumptions on trade boosted our3Q US GDP tracking from 0.8% q/q saar to 1.5% q/q saar. [September 30th estimate]
emphasis added

From Goldman:

Following this morning’s data and yesterday’s revisions, we have lowered ourQ3 GDP tracking forecast by 0.5pp to +0.9% (qoq ar). [September 30th estimate]

The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third quarter of 2022 is 2.4% on September 30, up from 0.3% on September 27. After recent releases from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis and the US Census Bureau, the nowcasts of third-quarter personal consumption expenditures growth and third-quarter gross private domestic investment growth increased from 0.4 percent and -7.6 percent, respectively, to 1.0 percent and -4.2 percent, respectively.

    Very painful September.  Some said the worse has yet come. Some said it's time to average down.  I guess I'll stay sideline and wait for Bull to return.  Will periodically average down if price gets irresistible.

      US stocks are in the red.The Jackson Hole Powell speech aftermath is what i’ll never forget as it taught me that I need to have more self-confidence to wait out instead of rushing in to buy the dip.

    Q3 2022 has been the worst quarter for me as almost everything I have in my portfolio are in a sea of reds.  However I am comforted by the sliver of greens still in my portfolio.  My defensive stocks in Consumer Staples, Healthcare, Energy and Banks are still in the green zone.

    The pivotal event in Q3 2022 was when Jerome Powell gave his speech in Jackson Hole  in August.  Wall Street ended in a hole after his speech as he signalled his hawkish intent to quell high inflation with continued interest rate hikes. Q3 2022 concluded  with the worst month in September as the stock markets fell like a house of cards. 

    Fortunately October is looking to be a much better month with the markets up today. 

    Since I am a long term investor with time horizon of 10 to 20 years, market sell downs are a great opportunity to bargain hunt quality stocks at irresistible prices.  It's short term pain but long term gain.  It is time in the market that counts, not timing the market.

    My tech stocks took a major hit, as the market plummetted, amidst slowing global economy and recession risks as central banks raced to hike rates to rein in surging inflation, especially the tech sector which is particularly sentitive interest rate. The only saving grace was that my portfolio largely comprises of bluechips like our local banking trio $DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD(D05.SI)$, $OVERSEA-CHINESE BANKING CORP(O39.SI)$ and $UNITED OVERSEAS BANK LIMITED(U11.SI)$ that are my safe harbour in the storm and my stable sources of passive incomes amidst the market turmoil. I took opportunity of the price weaknesses to collect more $Apple(AAPL)$ and $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO)$ , as I believe that Apple with its strong fundamentals and the broad S&P 500 market will prevail through a looming recession & emerge stronger over time. @Tiger_chat

    Portfolio turns red and got red-er across Q3, think it started due to the high inflation and powell speech mentioning that they will do whatever it takes to bring the inflation under control. Some reports that inflation likely to drag across to next year. Hence will think that we wouldnt see green and bull in Q4. Tech companies is mostly affected since they rely on interest rate lot. Waiting for the next bull sign~

    感谢 @Tiger_chat 办活动👍🏻👍🏻
    我的第三季度的投资表现是全军覆没,全部美股都变红色 [难过]这一切拜全球高通胀所赐,而经济最强的美国正在启动史无前例的激进加息运动,明年联邦基金利率或触及4.6%~4.8%。美股跌破年内新低,标普500指数跌幅已达25%
    第三季度最难忘的市场事件应该是最近股市常常大暴跌,心想应该触底了吧!就逢低买入,可惜只要一买入股票就被套住☹️最惨的是重复了很多次,唉😮‍💨很怕一路套到破產😓
    在第四季度我不会再乱投资买低价股,在这次的熊市中我在$摩贝(MKDTY)$和一些投机股得到很惨痛的教训[难过]最糟糕的时刻应该还没有过去,不过股票涨跌有时,没有永恒上涨,也不会无休止下跌。关键是你要站对方向,勿加杠杆!否则,一旦输光钱,就算机会来了,也没法再买入。我现在会卖了我部分股票,換成現金,入袋為安。等待机会再买入有潜力和有价值的优质好股!

    I went BACK TO THE FUTURE in Q3. Actually, it was the Past!
    Went back to Q2 because in Sep, we returned to June lows.
    I thought the time machine was spoilt but Jerome Powell mad scientist fixed it at Jacksonhole event.
    Unforgettable event.
    He created a blackhole that sucked all cash from stock market into oblivion.
    In Q4, I'm going into the Future to rectify this. I'm buying buying buying until the blackhole closes and Powell disappears.
    Wish me luck! [Grin]

    Q3 2022 = loss$. Stock market beaten by the Fed. TA & DCA not useful because the Fed wants economic slowdown. Best keeping $ in U.S. Treasury bills now. Wait for policy change.🙏🏻🙏🏻🍀🍀

    我的投资组合在第三季度仍然表现出色,主要持有 $1.5倍做多波动率指数短期期货ETF-ProShares(UVXY)$ 。第四季度,我预计市场将有所反弹,准备调整一部分投资进行对冲。

    Only my SG portfolio remain in green by end of Q3. As for Q4 expectation, if prices are right, I'll continue to DCA. I know in my experience if market recovers, my portfolio will recover and make even more in the years ahead.

    A sea of red is all i can say. Never forget powell speech which cause the market to swing right into the bear zone and deeper. Inflation is still high so highly interest hike will still continue. Just hope that at least the marker stays sidelined and stop diving deeper~ will continue to hold my position and DCA in ETF.
