Now currency impact the highest since i went in at January lol

Lump sum in the beginning of this month.
Now currency impact higher than investment return

I see the same thing on one of my portfolios created this month. But maybe also coz much lower risk. My other 36% has much better returns than currency impact.

Valuations Still High in Consumer Staples: 6 ETFs to Shun

The investing scenario in the United States is a little tricky now. Global growth worries have led several central banks from the developed markets to adopt an easy monetary policy, which in turn has resulted in subdued dollar and Treasury bond yields. This should make a great investing scenario for Consumer Staples stocks and ETFs.

Hi, I am new here and I have a question. If I have made profits from my portfolio, will my profits be reinvested? Or they just sit there and I have to withdraw, then manually invest for reinvestment?

I know that SA reinvests dividends but what about profits?
Thanks

Those are paper profit (gain); unrealized profit (gain).
It is just showing your portfolio performance.
Nothing is solid till you realize it by selling your holding.

Same when things go south way; i.e loss

reinvestment only applied to dividend, in auto mode.

It is just like share, your gain is just paper gain, unless you sell it, then it become realized gain

if you can use the gain, to buy low, sell high again, then it will snowball.

Thou, everyone know that but

but SA will sell according to the % of holding.

They will sell performed EQ to buy under performed EQ to balance up the holding. I seen this in 6.5%.

Turn OFF the optimization and see if it happens again.

then it wont. Already mentioned under the button

Since it bothers you so much, turn it OFF then.
You have been repeating that statement several times.

I think he's just helping the new comer to understand it?

But he kept repeating two statements over and over again.

1. Holdings get sold if risk % set to about 6%
2. Double digit of negative return (- 2X%)

He can put those cautionary tips at Page#1 since he's the TS right?
