Hello All TEDs After being a silent reader of the forum for over a month now, thought I should start communicating. Being new at equity trading (13 months precisely), I think I can only be a student as yet and would appreciate your opinions on my current portfolio. Am looking mainly for LT growth investments. After having delved in over 60+ scripts, net PL @ current valuations is zero (0)! Not what I set out to do. Kept booking small profits earlier in the hope of re-entering the scripts at lower levels and in the bargain have lost a lot of value-buys. Now after a lot of reading and some basic research in the last couple of months, understand value investment principles a bit more. Have now trimmed the portfolio to 14 scripts. Would also like to invest some more, say another 40%, in income generating scripts providing 10% to 12% dividend. Still searching for these. Here goes:
The balance 10% consists of a few bad scripts like ABAN (  ) , MUNDRA, DISH TV, REL POWER ( my first buy!) which I plan to liquidate.Looking to trim some more of TISCO, add more VOLTAS, YES and TITAN. Welcome all opinions. -------------  “ Money talks… but all mine ever says is good-bye.” -Anon

Nice shares if held over the long term but question is purchased at what price... but yes, a good portfolio for the beginner, as you go along you will learn a lot and change portfolio many times i believe.
There are some who would advocate that its best to hold over a very long term and let the share become a multibagger and then there are some, like me , who believe, that every year, there should be some profit booked(provided of coarse there is profit to be booked in the first place) , so that personal balance sheet keeps growing over time. Its a matter of personal taste, so you see what you plan to do.
If you plan to book profits every year, then one ends up with another kind of portfolio... if you are looking for a long term multibagger kind of portfolio, again it looks different.
And of coarse, there is a portfolio of defensive stocks, that is yet another category...which also can be beneficial, but over the very long term.. ie over the years.
So it is best to think about these things and see how you want to proceed because as far as shares are concerned, there are plenty of good to excellent stocks, but they all cater to diff. kind of investors..
Of coarse, you can chose to create a mix portfolio too, where you have all kinds of shares and you keep some for a very long time, some for long time and yet others for booking profits every now and then.
Hope the above has created more questions for you than any answers...
Enjoy Investing and make lots of money!
best wishes,
samir.

Thanks for your views Samir, much appreciated... In reply to the pricing, most of the stocks average to today's valuations, except for LARSEN & TATACHEM so as you would put it, not a good personal B/S as yet. In it for the long haul and hopefully will have about 25% in multi-baggers, 25-40% in well-managed long term companies. Do you think it is a wise idea to do profit-booking by batches ie selling a script partially and re-entering at lower levels? This is the way I have thought of it. ------------- “ Money talks… but all mine ever says is good-bye.” -Anon

In the stock markets, determining whether an idea was wise or not can onlybe found out after the event has passed. Many times when stock prices run up too much, one would like to book profit, only to re-enter at a later time.. if one looks back, it seems this was a wise idea for many years.. but if one looks at the recent bull market of 2007-2008, it would not have been such a wise idea after all, as people who sold out, either never got to buy that stock again, or highly disciplined people might have bought the stock back, albeit at higher prices than what they sold it at. What i am trying to get at is , that over the short term, its all up in the air and noone knows what one is going to catch. So, if you were to sell now, with a view to buy back a bit later so as to decrease your acquisition cost, there is no saying whether this would be correct on 17thJune,2009.. but if you had sold around last week, and bought back today, you would already be sitting on some extra cash.
So while i cannot specifically advise you as noone else on earth can, as noone knows whats going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month etc. i can say that its completely upto you and what you feel. You will have to be probabaly god, to precisely time the market, so its tough to sell highest and buy lowest, but if one finds that he is not happy with initial cost but still likes the stock, one can give it a try but all the time knowing that he can risk losing the stock altogether.
Personally, i am sold out and am already finding lower than sale prices on 90 percent of my portfolio, but i am controlling myself,as my personal feeling is , that markets will correct further and then not go anywhere for several months hence there will be plenty of time to buy... but please, a word of caution, this is my personal intuition and i will happily accept whatever circumstances arise from it over time.. you have to do you own thinking and see what works best for you.
best wishes,
samir ------------- |

There may be very few good companies (probably none) which have a current dividend yield of 10-12%. However, that could be the future dividend yield for a company having a current dividend yield of 3-5%.

One may argue about what is a very good company, but companies like SCI, Tata Elxsi, GIC Housing Finance are all yielding me above 10% because I bought at the right price. Vivek will have his own long list. One has constantly to be on the look out for these opportunities. They don't remain for too long. ------------- |

Thank you for the suggestions. The discussions were very enlightening. Planning to take some exposure to Tata Elxsi, Savita Chemical & Balmer Lawrie based on history. How can one take an informed guesstimate on the future yields, in order to decide the slices to allocate to each one  ------------- “ Money talks… but all mine ever says is good-bye.” -Anon
