Yogesh's blue chip 10 Portfolio

@sunnysachdeva

Do you use this indicator for any specific stock as well ? if so then how?

This cannot be used for individual stocks as this is a diffusion indicator. More appropriate for large diversified index of highly liquid stocks.

@pandi.rao

can you elaborate this point a bit more on how do we calculate whether the internal accruals are not getting tied up with WC

Calculate working capital for current year and subtract last year’s working capital to get incremental working capital and see if it less than cash profits. Usually it does.

Working capital = current assets - current liabilities.

I sometimes use
working capital = account receivables + inventories - accounts payable.

Thanks Yogesh for the details.

Although I don’t use technical analysis for picking stocks, I have been using a technical indicator to help me decide how much cash I should hold in my portfolio. This indicator is the % of stocks that are trading above 200 day moving average.

To calculate this indicator, I take 100 stocks from Nifty 100 index (nifty 50 + Nifty Next 50). For each stock, I calculate 200 day moving average (DMA) and compare it with current market price. The indicator is simply the number of stocks trading above their 200 DMA.

As markets rise, more and more investors turn optimistic and they push more and more stocks above 200 DMA. At the top of the bull market, this number is around 80. As market begins to correct, more and more investors turn bearish, they push more and more stocks below their 200 DMA. At the bottom of bear market, this number is usually around 20. This indicator is at 35% now and trending down."[quote=“Yogesh_s, post:230, topic:7142, full:true”]

I created a shareable version for VP.

Link to Google Speadsheet is below.

Nifty 100 Tech Analysis - Google Sheets
Note: Be patient. This sheet takes few minutes to open.

There are 3 sheets for Nifty 100, Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100. Nifty 100 sheet can be used for back-testing by changing the As On date.

This sheet uses GOOGLEFINANCE formula which has its own limitations like missing data and unadjusted prices. To that extent, results will be inaccurate but overall, results are fairly good.

As the indicator moves lower towards 20, I generally begin to deploy cash and as it moves beyond 70 or 75, I generally start selling if I have any overvalued stocks in my portfolio. This is a slow moving indicator, and it generally coincides with the bull-bear markets. As with any technical indicator, this is not accurate all the time. In some cases, indicator will top out or bottom out few days before the market does (which is good as it gives you some time to act) and other times it tops out or bottoms out much before the market (which is not optimum as this can be too early). But in either case, it is a good leading indicator and will act as a early warning.

Your views are invited especially how do you decide your asset allocation (if at all you manage that actively).

At times, I feel the like button does not (rather cannot) express the amount and extent of gratitude one feels on coming across such posts !

Thank you so much Yogesh

Agreed, the thought process some of the posts share are work of art. Gratitude and Salute Yogesh Ji for adding to the beauty of life.

[Prasad_India]

You are marvelous not only at creativity but more in sharing with others. A big salute to you.

[ausking]

Truly educative on professional line of thinking. Articulating thoughts is an art. You have mastered it.
Sharing knowledge with people with similar interest but not trained in finance is truly egalitarian approach.

Enjoy reading your notes in virtual world. Hope to meet you some day.

[rskothari]

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts generously.

[drjkshetty1978]

Thank you Yogesh for your generosity to share your knowledge. For new investors like me, it is really useful.

Dear Yogesh
As the indicator moves lower towards 20, I generally begin to deploy cash

Since you are using the 200 MDA of the Nifty stocks would you deploy your cash in the stocks belonging to the Nifty - or is it just a signal to buy stocks on your watch list, irrespective of whether they belong to the Nifty or Nifty Next 50?
Also - what if the stocks on your watch list are trading above their 200 DMA at the time that your indicator is showing 20?

Trying to understand strategy - since I have only tested one - that of Mr A Basu Mallick - of trailing stop loss.
Thanking you for making me think!

Yogesh Bhai,
You have been holding Yes bank for few years.

Many people(Even some popular investors) of are the view that Yes bank is cooking its NPA numbers. Because axis and icici have very high npa and their lending profile is similar to Yes bank.
I believe even you might have heard these arguments. I would just like to know your thought process.
Are you of the view that believe what company reports and ignore what people assume OR you have identified some data points which assures you that yes bank numbers are genuine?

[ausking]

When you use 200 for 200 DMA - does google use work days or calendar days?

My understanding is it simply subtracts 200 days. Will it make sense to adjust 200 to 240-250 days range?

[PavanM]

Please have a look at the formula; it obtains values of the past 320 odd days and selects 200 of those.

=average(query(sort(GoogleFinance(“NSE:” & $A3,“close”, H$2-320, H$2),1,0),“select Col2 limit 200”))

Dear Yogesh Ji,

If i want to invest in pharma sector funds now, what could be some indicators to get a good entry point (which might show that pharma is near or has undergone a turn-around).

Thanks

Hi Yogesh,
The SME results are out for Worth peripherals and Shanti Overseas.
I would appreciate if you can throw some light on these results
.
There is a one time deferred tax liability of approx 5.90 cr in case of worth.
Results look good but this tax has skewed the results.
Can u elaborate on this one?

Thanks.

Hi Yogesh,

Needed a quick suggestion -
From where can I download for Banks and NBFCs (for free ). Apparently screener does not have lot of relevant metrics (NIM, Cost of Funds, Yield etc.)
