Thank you my dear,
Not every Buffet strategy needs to be understood.
And not every investment decision has to be the Holy Grail.
So don't let yourself be controlled too much by others and stay true to yourself.

Michael Burry is not known for optimism either. 😄

Q1 has been over for 1.5 months and things went downhill at the beginning of April. He was quite right with most of his predictions.

His portfolio probably looks completely different now. Don't let that unsettle you.

Buy Estee Lauder Hold vs L'Oreal

$EL (-0,53 %)

Hello everyone, I have 35 Estee Lauders$EL (-0,53 %) in the portfolio and recently bought more. Am now 20% in the red? Because of the high level of debt, I am considering selling and switching to L'Oreal $OR (+0,5 %) and switch to L'Oreal. From the chart, Estee looks like it has greater potential, but L'Oreal is much less indebted and has cash if things get rough over the next few months/years. What do you think?

From flop to top? Focus on the S&P 500 losers!

Last year was a complete success for many investors - but not for everyone. While the S&P 500 rose by around 25 %, there were also shares that took a nosedive. 🤔

The biggest losers included companies such as Celanese Corp. $CE (+0,09 %), which fell by 19.25 %, and Estée Lauder ($EL (-0,53 %)which lost 1.45 %. Intel $INTC (-1,43 %) and Moderna $MRNA (+0,87 %) were also under pressure.

But what does that mean? Are yesterday's flops the potential stars of tomorrow? Some analysts see recovery potential, while others point to the ongoing challenges.

What do you think? Is it worth buying into these supposed bargains now, or is staying away the better strategy? Let's discuss it! 📈💬

Cool info, thanks. Find Estee Lauder $EL particularly blatant. I didn't realize they'd gone down like that. Also interesting that the CEO of MSCI $MSCI has hit out himself, even though the stock hasn't even dropped that much. Seems to have a lot of confidence in the business and its outlook.
