Journal to portfolio afterlife

 
In an interview with CNBC’s Squawk Box, professor of finance at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business Jeremy Siegel said that we are already in a mild recession, and urged the Fed to exercise caution in its tightening policy.
 
If you have a traditional 60/40 split in your portfolio, for example, the article advises adjusting stock allocation down to 50% at the moment when the market is buoyant and going up every day. That’s because it’s usually at this time, when investors are feeling confident and self-congratulatory, when their position starts to falter. Instead of riding that high, take a step back and reduce risk before you get knocked off your high horse. On the flip side, when things aren’t going well and you’re feeling despondent about your holdings, that is actually the time to step up your risk factors and increase stock allocation to 70%.
 
The result has been twofold: high-yield bonds are now generating much higher income, more than 8% on average, and the steep drop in prices could spur those that issue the debts to actually start buying the bonds themselves. In a recent note from Bank of America that is cited in the article, strategists wrote that with an estimated $300 billion of corporate bonds trading at 75% of their face value or below, buybacks could skyrocket. That’s especially true since many of the corporate bonds now trading at a discount include such household names as Apple, Amazon, Verizon, and Microsoft. These companies could seize the rare opportunity to generate high returns from buying back their own debt at a lower price.
 
Come vogliamo essere? Così come desideriamo per noi stessi o come ci vorrebbero gli altri? E se vogliamo essere noi stessi, questo obiettivo lo perseguiamo senza condizionamenti esterni o cerchiamo di mimare la proiezione che vorremmo di noi stessi?
