Hi everyone,

I have finally moved my blog to wordpress.

I hope to see the same audience I had on this blog there.
My frequency of blogging will be far more on this new blog.
The focus will be on stock investing following fundamentals and 18 stocks in particular.

Do stop by there.

Stock Investing Strategy for 2010

It is time to review my portfolio performance so far and to decide what to do next.

So far the last year has been great. Both in terms of opportunities and volatility, the market has given even a value investor like me strong returns which must usually be expected only for long term.

I don't want this short term success to make me overconfident and susceptible to greedy mistakes.

My portfolio has a healthy mix of a few sectors. Some of my picks have been extremely strong on fundamentals, bought at very attractive valuations and some have been a little more adventurous :)

I want my decisions to be even more rewarding and well structured this year. I tend to invest in too many opportunities and then it becomes a task for me to handle my portfolio.

Guidelines for this year-

1. Pick green fundamentally strong companies.

2. Buy below Discount Price only.

3. Reducing the no. of companies being held.

4. Make sure to sell when target is achieved.

5. Invest the most in stocks farthest from MRP. If a certain stock is close to its target it can be sold and reinvested in a stock which has greater returns to offer.

I think these new guidelines should help me stay disciplined and follow value investing to get the best results.
