Well the BOE's comments have sent sterling down again today against the dollar quite significantly. SMT currently up 1.47% today.

Sterling's newfound strength does ScoMo's majority dollar-denominated holdings little benefit on a revaluation basis.

Whilst I like ScoMo's portfolio a lot, personally I agree that sky-high valuations in the USA Tech Sector are overdue for a major correction of some 10-20%.

That is when I would reinvest.

Look at this worrying statistic:-

In June, ScoMo issued Equity from Treasury on 14/FOURTEEN separate occasions such was the demand for their stock.

In July, Just once on the 5th. July.



Good Luck All - but carry a shamrock and a brolly.

US tech stocks continue to surprise on the upside with stonking results. Not just the big names like AAPL and TSLA, but the component manufacturers like Qorvo. However, these sky-high valuations cannot go on forever and all these stocks must be vulnerable to a more general correction in the US markets which seem determined to ignore the political risks of the chaos in Washington. SMT has a high exposure to these risks, so I have banked my profits here for now.Like QP I prefer Herald to ScoMo at the moment, and switched a month ago, while continuing to drip feed monthly savings into SMT to rebuild a base here from scratch in the hope of using 'pound-cost averaging' to catch them on the bounce if/when the correction comes along in the coming year. I see no logic in Herald's 18% discount while SMT is still trading at a premium. Herald's discount may narrow when the market wakes up to the lower valuations of UK and European tech stocks, and the potentially exponential growth of companies like IQE which must now be Herald's biggest holding.

No!!

That's what they want you to do.

That's what they tell you to do as it suits them. - There is no rule book.



SMT has had a great two years. I have made a return of +90%.

But that ride is grinding to a halt as the US Tech sector stumbles, sterling strengthens and Trump looks like he is not achieving any of his pre-election promises. The NASDAQ is going nowhere fast.

Now is the time for another ride and I think the UK/European Tech sector amongst others is looking better and for example Herald is up 10% in last three months whereas SMT is down.

I can jump back on SMT another time in the future. Or alternatively cherry-pick ideas from their Top Ten holdings such as China-based stocks like Alibaba or CTRIP which have rocketed.

You are not locked in.

It's your choice.

It's up to you whether you are an active or passive investor.

A number of big funds are going sideways at the moment. This and Fundsmith have both struggled over the past few weeks.

But the you're supposed to buy and hold for years and not care about "short term" movements....

Getting bored with the increasingly high-handed and bombastic flavour of a certain well-known fund that shall remain nameless and by contrast getting increasingly interested in the significant successes, inherent value and great upside potential in the Katie Potts Herald Investment Trust which trades at an inexplicable 18% discount-to-NAV.

Herald are off the radar and, unlike some, like to maintain a charmingly and refreshingly discrete profile.

However, for the curious, here is a rare write-up on Ms. Potts from the March 10th. edition of MoneyWeek.

In many ways, a not dissimilar ethos to SMT, although Ms. Potts has an enormous personal interest to succeed as she set up her own firm - and her flagship fund HIT/Herald Investment Trust (ticker HRI) is now approaching £1billion in size.

I find the Scottish Mortgage website rather frustrating. It seems to be a collection of waffly essays and not much meat. Do they actually have lists of holdings and financial statements and so on? Where are they hidden?

Davrola,
You are very welcome.

in case it helps this is what I recently posted about Herald Investment Trust (HRI) on a different bulletin board for the Chelverton Smaller Companies Trust:

Quote

I like this Trust a lot.

However, I have recently switched the majority of my holdings into Herald General Investment Trust (HRI) which is a much bigger Trust with approaching £1billion of assets and which is focused on the smaller cap Tech + Media sector with a good weighting in UK and North America and 10% Cash.

This Chelverton smaller cap trust trades at a PREMIUM nowadays ( having a few years ago been at a whopping 20% ++ Discount ).


For some reason which I cannot put my finger on - probably due to lack of profile and publicity and being off the radar- HRI still trades at a MASSIVE discount of 18% despite some excellent recent performance and a very good pedigree.

With money flowing fast into Europe and with a great track-record of having increased shareholder money 10x since inception combined with a low management fee of 1%, in my opinion HRI looks totally undervalued by the market, if not misunderstood and mispriced.

When I look at sector comparisons like SDT, Patience capital, Schroders' small cap funds, JPM smaller and even big-brother and Tech giant Scottish Mortgage, the discount on HRI looks totally out of whack with the rest of the market.

Additionally, HRI have a share buy-back program and the cash to support it.

For seekers of value and hunters of big discounts, it appears to me that at an inexplicable 18% discount-to-Nav that HRI has a great deal to offer. Personally, I see the discount ripe for very rapid compression.

Good Luck All.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

After seeing the very strong 6 months figures reported yesterday by specialist technology/media Investment Trust, Herald Investment (HRI) who reported a tremendous 14% increase in NAV just in six months, it appears to me that Herald's massive 18% discount is grossly out of kilter and over-due for compression.

The global largest manufacturer of semi-conductor/photolithography machinery.

A significant item in ScoMo's portfolio

ASML picking up strong momentum.

I think the dip will be more prolonged as the market awaits further FED news. Having (luckily) sold out two weeks back, my ploy is to drip-feed small amounts back in monthly to average the price.

Fully concur.

Only temporary.

But USA Tech Sector still further to fall before the current rout finishes.

That will be the time to reinvest.
