Interviews with the heroes

Justified whether your expectations for this month?

Rodion Scriabin

Yes! I expected that I would be a lot to buy and sell - it is. The first two weeks of November has been doing that and read the analyst positions in the "Pulse", I thought to sell and what to buy to release the money. I was even a bit tired.

Alex Sexton

In general, yes. There were very interesting and positive trends, it is encouraging!

Recouped if finally falling assets or unavailable?

Rodion Scriabin

Not. I sold them that there was more money to work with other assets. I decided that I had no time to wait for them to grow back to Long. I'm competing with Ponomarom, not with his patience. Therefore, I recorded a small loss and went to earn money.

Alex Sexton

Not yet, but "Yandex" now shows serious growth. I predict that he will recover fairly quickly after the fall. Yet just a couple of months - and will once again be in the black. Of not very positive: I have a large landslides NLMK, which pulls down the entire portfolio, but everything is about stable, and I just keep it vdolguyu.

The most successful investment in November?

Rodion Scriabin

Tyson Foods: I bought for 332.48 dollars, sold for 346.76. It was a very exciting day in anticipation of a report, and then I strained all the forces of intuition in time to sell the paper. Kaif.

Alex Sexton

Chinese ETF revenge, but from him that I most likely will get rid of in the near future: very much a controversial asset. Instead, he took a little poshortit Baidu. While not doing this very well. I bought, and all at once it went down. I hold it for a while and then decide what to do.

Will you continue to diversify the portfolio in the next month?

Rodion Scriabin

I do not know, I think now is not about diversification, but about the fixing of profit and find interesting stocks. Need to earn more money, that's what I think.

Alex Sexton

I'm in this month finally bargain. I came out of the US IT, bought Baidu, another left until the dollar. I want to look at the dynamics of the end of the year. There is a suspicion that the dollar will rise, and perhaps this will give some boost.

And I finally came out strongly enough from gold, because it has become sag in recent years. So I just recorded a profit in order to go ahead with some more interesting and fast-growing securities. But I think that gold, I will definitely be back, because it seems that this is - this is our everything during complicated political upheavals.

Are you a hint applications have helped? What were the most useful?

Rodion Scriabin

The best tip was about Alibaba. But the last few days with the Chinese market are all very sad. So there is almost zero. I've recently bought 35 shares of Chesapeake Energy Corporation with a projected growth of + 314%. Not to mention the fact that a few hours analysts increased the likelihood of its bankruptcy, it pulls on good advice. We'll see.

Alex Sexton

Yes. I find them with the help of interesting papers and trade them virtually: watch that advised the app and then what happened. Still, we have to Rodion different strategies. I am a big opponent of the game in short and I believe that even now, committing too many unnecessary actions.

Where else are you looking for information on investments? Whose tips are listening?

Rodion Scriabin

Carefully read the Cyril advice. It would be foolish not to pay attention to them. Did you see what happened to Albemarle? It is no longer with me. More read Telegram-channel "Tinkoff Investments" (very exciting), and reporting the schedule with the projections of "Tinkoff". Well, the news shows through in order to understand how it's going at the Trump and China.

Alex Sexton

Complex issue. When I brought some of the assets in cash and trying to find a use for it, then I tried to search for the information systematically. However, I realized that in fact is now, in principle, a very bad season for shopping. All of the companies have reported, but somehow I do not understand, very few predictions come true, and the political factor has a very strange influence. It seems that the better until it is, but for some reason, rejoice. It is not known how this positive last and how much will grow the shares.

Your forecast for the next two weeks? Let's see if fulfilled.

Rodion Scriabin

Three days ago, I would say that the buzz is straight. And today I hurt again.

Para-para-memory, vzhuh!

Alex Sexton

"Yandex" will grow. Everything else, most likely, will also feel pretty good, will continue a period of optimism. I think at the end of the month is closed in the area of ​​106 000 rubles.
