Hi,
I am new into investing say about 6 months. Earlier it was managed by my very good friend and have been literally pushed into it as he backed out. Request you all to kindly advice. I am currently holding the following-
I am keen to hold for a long term investment (2 to 3 yrs) but tend to get deviated when i see them making some profit. Like Page Industries is currently on a high and I feel I should book my profit and buy once it drops. Kindly advice
Lupin is a major issue for me as I bought it at 1442 and it does not seem to be coming even close to it.
2-3 year horizon means you should be a conservative. >5 yr is for aggressive, concentrated investments.
Hence while creating portfolio, ensure that no sector is alloted > 20% and no stock is alloted > 12% unless there is something very attractive like metals in feb-2016 or banks in sep-2013.
Start with 2-5% in a stock as and when you find it reasonably priced and then accumulate on dips or even on rise if fundamental improves (value > price).
And your issue with Lupin is not the price of 1442 (25 X FY17 EPS) but the weightage of 26% and pharma weightage @ 35%.
Thank you for ur inputs. I really appreciate it and will keep in mind the points u have stated. Its just that I am not aware of any other gud share in which I should invest.
Any particular site that I should look into for reading ?
i see approx 50% of portfolio in pharma which is one of most complicated sectors. I understand this could be a contrarian view but a good portfolio must be balanced by sector exposure, currency exposure etc. until and unless you are absolute master of the stock and sector know hidden analysis better than others.
