Negative news from India and Indonesia certainly had an impact on the portfolio. Will it just get worse if US attacks Syria? We don't know and we don't care :-)

For the month in July, the HK portfolio is down 0.84%. It's been a volatile month in terms of HK market. The sportswear companies showed a bit of encouraging momentum in the middle of the month but was crushed swiftly by the negative movement of the APAC markets led by India and Indonesia.

The concern is still about TSLA, the latest result again beats the expectation yet immediately market  gave it even higher valuation. What's next?

The highlight is that after 15 months the value of the portfolio more than doubled. The result is rather encouraging. For the month, the return of the portfolio is 14.61%, the second highest since inception. It's overall a "normal" month--the portfolio delivered a strong return during a very bullish month (S&P up more than 4%).

The concern is all about TSLA, which the current sky high valuation and a quaterly result to be released early August, risk of big move (up or down) is quite likely. We hope it is to move up...
