Hello Mam,Thank you for taking out time and reviewing it.

Mam each and every stock in this portfolio has been bought after doing a lot of research and with a strong conviction . For example Inox and Swelect are there because they are a play on the Renewable theme.KNR has been bought after reading a lot about them and considering gov infra push. I purchase Surana before all that happened and was trying to play the Solar and LED theme .

So no these picks are not impulse based but everything has been carefully researched . Sintex I read a lot about their Waste Water Management And Gov Sanitation push so every pick has a theory attached to it .

I just feel more comfortable in investing my money into ideas rather than a few selected stocks.Palred was bought as an E Commerce play .

So these ideas do come from those Model Portfolio reports / Articles on various websites even this one.And a few reco frm known investors .But all these are just resources of knowledge for me .I don't just read about a stock and just buy it .I do my own research after that and if I have the conviction then only I buy it .
I hope that is an approach I can follow ?Also now that I have shared my stock picking ideology how would you rate my stock picks and do you see good returns from the pottfolio

 

Do you have conviction to put all your hard earned money in any single stock picked from your portfolio ? If not, revisit your thought process and reshape portfolio. I don't agree that this portfolio will perform. Well thought out investments also don't work if thought process is wrong.

 

You have made a nice diversified portfolio. However I would like to advice you is that keep a regular watch on the companies and make sure they are still on track with the goals that you might have though for them. I would also suggest you to book at least partial profits whenever you may get a chance atleast to recover your initial amount and to reinvest that amount in new ideas.If you believe the stock has more growth then you can leave it as it is.

Another point I would like to make is that, you mentioned that you invest money into ideas which actually is a good thing. But the point to remember is that you are not buying an idea you are buying a stock of a company.The returns you get would not be for the performance of that specific company As an example if you are buying a stock because it is an ecommerce play or maybe any other sector play, however you have never heard of the company nor you are familiar with the fundamentals of the company then it might be dangerous to invest in that company. I mentioned ecommerce for the reason that there are very few listed players in the Indian market who are on ecommerce play. Infoedge and Just Dial are somewhat there but purely they are not like traditional ecommerce players that buy/sell stuff like flipkart or amazon. Most of the well known ecommerce companies are either private or not listed in India.
Investing in an idea can be an exciting thing but always look at the company you are investing because ultimately it is the pedigree of the company that would assure your returns and not the sector that it is in.

Happy Investing
