Starting off with Value Pickr

Investment Learning
1

Hi All,

I am a Finance Professional with 15 years’ experience across various industries. I started with my investment journey 5-6 years back, however started seriously only recently as I decided to make this a full time career… My Portfolio is as below… and these stocks are subject to re-balancing.

Hope to receive feedback if any. I am still learning and some of the picks are experimental as I strongly believe you won’t learn something permanently without learning it in hard way (Means you must burn your hands first)

Look at the threads posted my members sharing their PF, they give their rationale for choosing their picks. If you are starting off with VP, this is the way to do.

There are many PF threads, go through them, and you will see how discussions happen and go forward.

Hi @Sankar Are you tracking Ultracab? Can you help me understanding these facts?

  1. I was checking it on screener and found that promoters decreased their ownership from 62% to 27% in last 6 months.
  2. At the same time company secretary also resigned within 9 months of joining.
    Is there any corporate governance issue in company?

@M_K_Srikanth I was holding this stock couple of months back and booked profits after wards I have not tracked this stock.
Just had a look at it today . Fundamentals are good for this company however the recent issue with Polycab have scared investors/promoters I guess. Ultracab had received large order in Nov 2023 from Sterling and Wilson Private Limited of around Rs 47.78 crore for supply of LT AB Cable. This supply project will be completed by Mar 2025 as per news reports.

Stake sale by promoters is nothing to be surprised about. Several promoters pared stake and booked part profits in 2023, as markets climbed new highs. But promoters need to disclose such trades, which is the missing link in Ultracab. Apart from this point I dont see any issue.

PS: I am not holding any Ultracab shares now.
