This week was the week of GAFAM. Large-cap stocks, especially AAPL, were strong.
Broad gains across financials, tech, and consumer cyclicals, including MVP.
On the other hand, energy sector fell as crude oil prices declined.
U.S. stock holdings
SBI Securities account summary. (End of April 10)
Progressed smoothly, with unrealized gains of $12,450.
Also, dividends were about $157 (2021 cumulative dividends: $288).
In cumulative profit and loss including realized losses and dividends, plus $10,765.
Since starting U.S. stock investment, first time breaking the $10k mark.
Stock holdings about $84k, cash and equivalents (MMF, etc.) about $38k, ratio 69:31.
As the U.S.-Japan interest rate gap narrowed, the yen weakened and then settled, so dollar and yen conversions will be on hold for a while.
Buy: VT (620→640)
Sell: none
AAPL turned positive, and BTI was briefly in positive territory as well.
Next week I plan to focus on buying back VT.
See you next time.
