    You do have some high quality mid cap companies in your portfolio. I would refrain from commenting on individual stocks or any buy/sell about any particular stock but overall your portfolio does constitute of some high beta names. One thing I would like to ask you is that in the event of a downturn or stock meltdown would you be willing to hold on to your positions and maybe buy some more in some of the quality midcap names.

    The thing is that these mid cap companies have a high beta. In simple terms if the market is moving upwards they would grow faster than the market indices but the same holds for vice versa when the market falls these might fall quite significantly. This fall shouldn't be taken as a conclusion that the underlying companies are bad or of poor quality but it is the general nature of mid caps that they have higher volatility. A wise investor would generally take advantage of the fall in the stock market prices and purchase more of the quality scripts that he/she has a firm conviction on. Since your time horizon is 5 years one can't predict how the markets would be at that moment of time.

    If you are looking in for some stability in your portfolio, I would suggest you to add some quality large caps to your portfolio.This might just balance your portfolio as a whole but that is totally up to you. Some of us do have a higher risk taking ability than the others.

    Happy Investing :)

    I do agree with the points made by @stockguru. I think they are very sensible and worthy of being followed.

    I don't think one can fault the quality of the companies in the portfolio. Each is a top-class company, with reputed management and a good track record for delivery. The only issue is about the valuations. Some of the companies (e.g. GATI, Pidilite, Kitex, Repro, Atul Auto etc) are quoting at exorbitant valuations where the "margin of safety" is virtually absent. If there is a slow-down in the growth process, the stocks can get disproportionately punished. We can see this happening in the case of Hawkins Cookers where the slowdown in growth has caused the stock to correct by more than 50%.

    So, that risk is there. One way to mitigate that is, as suggested by @stockguru, to introduce large cap stocks into the portfolio. This will reduce the weightage of the mid-caps and bring some stability.

    The other important issue is about the extent of your net worth in these stocks. If, for instance, you are fully invested, then it is a dangerous situation to be in. If there is a sudden risk aversion in the market, your stocks will be the first to plunge owing to their high P/Es. But if you are only partly invested, it is not so bad because you will have the opportunity to average out.

    @Meenakshi Razdan

    Is it advisable to average down a stock in a falling market? The exact bottom and top can't be predicted, so one should not average down, just booking loss is advisable. In a case, where the correction is not related to the stock fundamental, there may be a case of averaging can happen. I believe, averaging down is not a solution of a wrong stock selection. Why on earth one have to buy a stock of PE ratio 50?? I know the example of Page Ind or Sun Pharma, but these are exceptions. I have made a mistake in Pidilite.

    This is my personal view only.

    Regards.

    @Meenakshi. Actually im investing in MF through SIP. Part of the investment transferred in these stock for fast growth. In case of market correction, i do transfer some more amount in these stocks. MFs usually less volatile, hence, hence transfer amount is only some petty loss. Please suggest?
