Re: Stocks To Keep A Close Eye On - Chapter II
SM sir,
What I have learned is that
Ideal portfolio size is 10-15 stocks.
Risk per stock = 1% to 1.5% of total capital
and over all portfolio risk = 5 to 8%
are the prudent limits.
so, in your case assuming your total capital is approx. 2 lakhs, your exposure in ABG should have been
entry @ 262 and stoplos @ 213 => risk is 49 Rs.
assuming a risk % @ 1.5 % your total risk in this stock should be 2 lakh 1.5%
= 3,000/-
so, no of shares you should have bought is 3000/49 = 60 shares, that is total investment of RS. 262 X 60 = 15600/-
If you calculate this way, the No. of scrips in your portfolio, would come down to 10-12 scrips.
Savant sir can guide you better in pruning your portfolio.
BTW, how come you have entered in to that stock on 15th sept. when the original trigger was given long back?
Brother Prasad, But each in small qty. Invested 3 to 5 thousand for each. But iam facing problem in monitoring. Hence, I put all the stks in Portfolio of rediff.com which provides me with updated profit/loss position & latest prices all the time. Plz sugggest me is it wise to hold so big portfolio or i shall put my money only in a few stks which r trending up. Iam in confusion. Will it be wise further 2 buy stks as per new triggers which will make my portfolio more bigger. I expect a suggested reply from Mr SG & all my friends.Thanks..SM
