Not bad at all...at least your are holding an on benchmark position in NPN

Thanks - Yeah NPN's volitility atm playing havoc with portfolio values. Had a larger holding but started to get a bit nervous when this volitility started, thus sold a few % when price hit 1300 last month, hence cash is so high.

GFI - 5 %

MTN - 16 %

NPN - 11 %

NTC - 14 %

REI - 6 %

TPC - 7 %

Can't get them all right...well done see you still have those REI's!

Thanks Zero Hedge. Your comments are noted. I also believe NPN is now overpriced, especially at a P/E of 63. I think this horse has run it's legs although my main reason for investing in this company was because of Koos. While he has taken a bit of a break from NPN, it is still a great company. But I agree, if you're looking for short term growth, this one is maybe not too great. The age old question though is when do we know when to get out? As per your suggestion I will looking to get a couple more horses on the track. Thanks again.

You are welcome...and remember never underestimate the "portfolio effect"/benefit of diversification because if you get a call wrong (and it happens to all of us) it is better if it is only 10% of your portfolio than 50 or 60%...less painful and easier to make the tough and hard call if needed

Mine is:

AGL - 13.27% +

ACL - 11.57% -

GLN - 16.40% -

KIO - 38.15% -

LHC - 12.62% +

SGL - 9.97% +

 

what's your take? inputs very welcomed

In my opinion your portfolio is better constructed and diversified except for perhaps the heavy weighting in KIO (given that you also hold AGL). That said, KIO has fallen very hard and the 9% dividend yield should provide an underpin but keep a close eye on China and the iron ore price...and if KIO gets back to 430 take profit!!

...and just so that you know the smart money is taking profits in NPN and is also saying that their share price above R100 does not make any sense.

Hi Guys

 

This is mine:

 

ACP - 0.13%

ADI - 50.06%

CML - 19.65%

NPN - 24.64%

SOL - 5.52%

 

To explain the make up of it, I'm sure you can see it's quite an aggressive portfolio, but being young I'm not terribly phased by severe volatility, as exemplified by NPN lately. I invested in ACP as I have done a bit of work for the company so this was merely a token amount. I try to keep the amount of companies I invest in as low as possible to prevent a unit trust kind of syndrome as I'm looking for aggressive growth.

 

I'm about to invest additional funds and am looking to top up ADI and MAYBE NPN (which could be due for a correction in the form of an upturn - although maybe the recent dive WAS the correction). But I've also looked at POY as another potential stock as it is showing decent growth and with a share at R3.50 and a P/E at 28 (which isn't too high) it looks quite attractive.

 

Any comments more than welcome.

Why bet 95% of your money on only 3 horses...especially shares that has more than doubled over the last year. Not sure that is prudent investing...I also tried that when I was young and it didn't work. But who knows it may be different this time...but all that I know is that nothing goes up forever especially not in a straight line and NPN and CML is as close to a straight line that you can get.

Thx Mr Div.
 
I have just shorted Shoprite at 162.51 and Kio at 382.00.
Looking for small 5% corrections here.
 
Longer term shares are PanAff and Invicta.Being dying to get into Sasol for a medium to long term but doesnt seem to hit my entry price even when i adjust

You are brave to short SHP in such big size...if it breaks thru 164 you will be in big trouble...so pray 164 holds

BIt top heavy retail for now but guess you'll be fine on a ten year horizon...personally you should consider adding more foreign exposure ie diversifying away from SA as I would imagine that most of your fixed and other assets are in SA in therefore ZAR denominated.
