Would like some feedback regarding my Portfolio

Hi,
Guys im a newbie to the world of stock market.

Would love some views/comments on my portfolio.

Just a small background :

Since this is my first year in the market, my portfolio is very diversified. I plan to keep it diversified but with much more consolidation. I have a good appetite for risk. I prefer high risk high returns. Dont like the banking sector much. Actively Trade in the market. First year has been good. Managed to pick PTC Fin @ 27 & Shreyas Shipping @ 85 levels. Also, made some terrible calls in Bajaj Hindusthan and Renuka Sugars. Not afraid of risks. Any advise/ critique would help.... Thanks in advance ! Cheers

@Meenakshi ji,

Thank you for your positive reinforcement !

Happy investing

 

Yes. Good clear thinking. Keep it up.

 

Get out of lycos.

 

@ Guruji - Any particular reason to drop lycos totally?

At the moment my Avg price is at 33. I understand the stock has underwhelmed in recent times. But i haven't lost patience yet...Part of which stems from the fact, that i believe the downside is limited now and i still believe in the potential of the company. Would like to understand your point of view ......

@ srouta - Thanks

 

Review all your stocks, why you bought them ? ...Lycos has more than 200 crores of debt..an IT company with debt itself should raise a red flag... plus I do not understand the business model

 

Portfolio is over diversified, which may badly hamper your money.

Cut it to 10-15.

 

@guruji : I agree, portfolio is very over diversified. Pruning it will take some time , but its work in progress. 18-20 scrips is what i have as a target initially. Lets see how it goes.

@bholu : Yes there is 200 cr debt. But as per a Business standard report 2 days ago, its also due to raise 100million$ to fuel expansion. As i said, i still believe in the business.And i guess that's where we differ.
Appreciate your comments nevertheless !

 

well if you have the conviction certainly stay invested

Hi Trendzz,

Nice research Report. Still a hold/accumulate from my end. Would love to see some deliverables being met this year. That should really make things clear. Too much apprehension in the market as of now as far as Lycos is concerned. Patience needed.

 

allocating very small percentage to stocks will not get you any benefits in totality with regards to your investments... put at least 40-50% of money in 3-4 stocks and just look at portfolio of badshah mr. rakesh jhunjunwala & he often points out that allocating small percentage to ur your conviction stock can make a career but a larger percentage can make your life...around 55-60% of his portfoilio consists of lupim, crisil nd titan.

 

Abhiarps ji,

Thank you for your valuable input. To be honest, i didn't have the conviction & courage to put in 40-50% in 3-4 stocks, as this was a new world to me. My parents don't understand the market. So i was all on my own.

But i really understand the importance of what you're saying and i hope to develop my skills so that i can remodel my portfolio with more consolidation as you've said.

 

@marrakesh

Thank you sir for your response.

You are absolutely correct, in this recent correction, my portfolio has taken a good beating.

However, the decision to leave out the large caps , was a conscious one to begin with. So i have no excuses !

 

My portfolio has also taken a big beating

 

your portfolio is well diversified and represent all sectors.
Please add some high conviction/potential pharma stock and housing finance like suven, coral, can fin homes.

Declaimer:- I m not a market expert, its your call.
