My Stock Portfolio

Few days back I have a discussion with one of my dear friend, Prasad, I always admire him for his rational advice. We are friend from college days, and we have regular discussion on various topic. One day he give me a call and discuss about stock market investing, after discussion I came to know, he has a great wisdom on investing, we exchange our thoughts, and came to know how much return we make till date, he has make great return, but not investing for long term and I show him my return, My holdings are always long term.

He shocked after seen my return, and he asked, Why not you share all this with me, I said I don’t like to show my success, he replied, you are wrong if you have something, you must share, that might help others, you make my loss by not sharing all this things…. We have long debate and discussion… after his advice I am sharing my presentation and my portfolio with public.

Why Prasad shocked, it’s not due to return. There are few reasons, he knows me personally, I don’t have formal financial education like B. Com or MBA in finance; I am a science graduate and post graduation in Marketing, and I have a big problem in mathematics and chemistry, I don’t have any problem accepting my weakness. They remain my problem always.

In discussion I told him, there is no connection between formal financial education and investing success, whatever I learn in investing, I earn from Warren Buffett & Charlie Munger, and I have a my personal rule, I never deviate the rules and thoughts of both the persons.

After doing short course, on “basics of stock market investing” in Pune which cost me around Rs 800 in 2006, I continue my learning, I give maximum time to reading, I read books on Finance, Investing, Economics, Behavioral Finance, and from few good Blogs on internet.

Why I share all this information? You may have this question in mind. Right

There are few points. I am not a genius who makes money, not at all smart, not having any finance background, but what makes this result great,

• Long term approach
• Discipline
• Patience
• No attention to NEWS
• Buying at Margin of safety
• Continuous learning and reading
• Not paying attentions to short term profits
• Disciplined investing
• Benefits of Compounding
• Remain Invested in Full Market Cycle
• Long Term Capital Gain
• Not listening to TV Gurus

I think anybody can have above qualities, if you invest your little time in learning and reading good books on investing, because money is important and necessary in today’s world. This can bring happiness in your family life.

Don’t just jump and invest.
