Selling a beautiful growth story of producing actual earnings far into the future doesn't seem that attractive anymore.

Those cash-burning small companies are falling out of favour. As we enter the new rate hike cycle, investors are shifting to companies with proven revenue AND earnings growth.

Apple with its iPhone and Mac eco-system, Alphabet with its Google search engine and Youtube, Microsoft with its Windows, Office software and Azure cloud services. The returns of S&P500 and Nasdaq in recent years have been heavily skewed towards the top 6 constituents (FAAMG). Big Tech usually stay long-term winners as they compound on their competitive advantages and dominant market position. But Apple is taking around 40% of the global smartphone profits! All about that profit margin.Although 2021 was the first year I got into the tech sector, it turned out that investing in tech stocks is rather similar to investing in bluechips and REITs. Its iPhone global market share is only 12%, way below Samsung's. This is like taking a leaf out of Apple's playbook. The Gigafactories are more efficient and vertically integrated than those old factories of legacy car companies. Tesla is able to squeeze more profits out of each EV than the legacy automakers.

It should get more profitable as the gross margins expand. With two new Gigafactories on the verge of production, Tesla is going to further strengthen its track record of growing earnings and net income. In 2021, they already showed how a ramped-up Giga Shanghai can boost earnings sustainably. Giga Berlin and Giga Texas starting production, 4680 cells high-volume production, Giga Shanghai expansion, FSD Beta 11 going to Level 4 autonomy, automotive insurance and Cybertruck production. I believe 2022 is going to be an explosive year for Tesla. Especially for Tesla, the EV tidal wave looks unstoppable. Considering their size, both companies achieved phenomenal consistent growth in 2021. If there is one thing I learnt in 2021, that is to stay with the winners. 10.34% XIRR and 13% annual dividend growth is nothing to write home about, but I can live with that, considering there are people still mired in losses in a bullish year. At the very least, my portfolio growth was able to offset the high inflation. Cutting away the festering tumors so that healthy cells can grow again. Cutting away all my tiny, loss-making positions and reinvest into the winners. Personal Net Worth crossed S$900k mark in Q2 2021ĭid a tonne of rebalancing work on my portfolio in Q4.
