Hi all,
Just thought it would be interesting to start a thread that allows ASF members to share what stocks currently make up their investing portfolio for those of you that want to share (excuse the pun!!).

My current portfolio consists of the following in order of length of time that i have held them:
SDL
AZS
GBG
ADY
RAU
FNT
As you can see they are all mining stocks and mostly in the exploration stage of development. I'd be the first to admit that i need to work on a more diversified portfolio.....lol..... but obviously with the resource sector booming the way it is currently, i find it difficult to channel my funds elsewhere!! I'd be interested to know what approach others are taking?

G'day fellow ASF members! Good to see this thread is still alive and well. It is interesting to see the make-up of other portfolios and peoples comments about stocks and investment strategies.

Since i started this thread my portfolio has changed a little and below is an update at this moment in time:
SDL - Completely out now ... i bought in at 23c and got right out at 80c ... timing was very good looking back!
RAU - got in early and then topped up again on its spectacular run ... it had a correction today but i'm in for the med-long term and i still believe we are in for an exciting month ahead with lots of drilling results due!
AZS - seems to have settled at 18-20c for the time being... i'm sitting patiently as there seems to be lots of potential ... announced today that they will list on TSX
GBG - a little disappointing recently from a SP point of view .... still very good fundamentals ... and i'll wait patiently to be rewarded
FNT - Huge copper deposit at Kodu in PNG ... currently in trading halt pending news ... possibly CMS? .... here's hoping for a very positive announcement to kick the SP along .... many other projects in exploration stage
ADY - lots of potential with a very exciting world class lithium project being developed, also iron ore
EXM - got in at 3.3c and with volume and interest growing quickly with upcoming drill results in a few weeks ... this is one that IMHO could have extremely good potential in the near future
MHL - my most recent buy at SP of 5.2c ...have been watching since low 3's but didn't have funds at the time to purchase ... however, lots of potential with this one also .... early days ... close to a significant announcement in terms of JV partner for oil and gas exploration ... also has uranium projects

Keep the thread going .... thanks all for for sharing!

This is fun.

So mine are miners plus a property trust - some foolish, some worthwhile.

EXM - underpinned by 530k ounces of gold. Drilling at the moment. Hoping that modern exploration techniques will throw up some whopper grades and JORC can be firmed up to 2m + ounces. Some cash, lots of shares on offer. Current trading range of 3.1c to 3.7c seems fair value for the moment.

IIG - so speculative it hurts. Will be out of this quick as a flash if it turns. If they do hit some 'bonanza' grades as per last ann, cap is very low, neighbours are powerful and this has potential.

AGM - no brainer to me at a time when nickel is $25k plus. Will be producing in 6 months. Great potential to extend Ni resource. Geothermal is interesting. Long term hold.

QOL - see above, lose geothermal, replace Ni with moly. Another long term hold. But where is the mining lease? When that is granted it should be re-rated.

MDX - chased my last pipe dream. But Fe and Au has been found plus rights/options at 10c. No reason to sell and rights issue allows me to average down.

CNP - a truckload due to company share plan so no choice. Out of favour due to sub prime. Bad time to be a fund manager with 60% of your assets in the States. Will be back given it has a yield of 7%.

Recently sold but looking to get back in:
NGF - 27c to 46.5c. Looking to become the 4th largest Aussie miner.
VRE - bought hastily thinking it was the next NGF. Worried about cashflow. If cash can be resolved, will be a good thing.
GBG - out of favour. Longer term prospect. Wanted to top up QOL.
FNT - if Kodu gets the go ahead, I will load up the truck. Politics is a dirty game.
CUY - Wanted to top up on QOL. Next U producer god willing.
POL - spooked by environmental concerns plus cap raising. Just started drillling. Monster potential.
AZS - great ground, good drill results, TSX listing, low cap. Smashed by the August correction and never recovered. Want some JORC to be delineated.


Mistakes - LML, PSP, AIM...more to come. Not saying they aren't any good. Hopefully I wont be adding IIG to this list.

On my watchlist:
KAL, PRC, RVR, SEG, TLM, RML, PDM, DYL, CTS and blue chips (BHP, WOW) when I get tired of trying to beat the market.

In order of value

ZFX
WBC
BSL
CTX
MRE

I hold:

• KAL
• KALO (heaps)
• CVN
• EMS
• BHP
• CDS
• CUL
• NWE

And a few others

Regrets:
Not buying:

• GUJO at 15c a few months ago (Now 511c or something crazy)
• WPG at 70c a few months ago, when I read shares mag and a good article on it (now $1.75 or so)

Also regret selling too early on good stocks when they announce, only to see the price twice or more what it was, weeks or months later...

Long term

WBC
BHP
SGP

Short - Mid term

MHL
CIG
MON

(and got an eye on WTE, AGX & CAZ at the moment)

OK.. my SMSF .. I dont trade much but reasonably happy with the last 2 years..

ADI .. Doubled my holding the other day. Need good news from Texas
AIO .. Resulted from owning TOL. Stapled securities too much trouble
ANZ .. Ah well.. what can I say. Long term
ARQ .. Hey, I'm a west aussie.. Canning basin may come good
ASB .. All the oil money has to be spent somewhere
ASL .. Someone will always need a driller
BHP .. Got them at $20
IWL .. Going to be turned into 'which bank?' shares
JBM .. Got them for $7.70, Extrata will give me $23
MCR .. In at 75c, what more can I say..
MCU .. Was emitch, going ok (I think)
MND .. So, I'm from WA
RDS .. In at IPO
RIO .. Got both bases covered
SEN .. My major failing.. still confident in the long term
SGB .. Another bank, better than ANZ but.
TAP .. Still waiting
TOL .. Another long termer
WPL .. O&G have not been kind to me yet. not that I've lost money
ZFX .. They owe me $16.50.. the divy was nice but..

After 2 years I'm less stressed about the whole business than when I started which is good.. Thanks to all for their thoughts..

I will mention some that look OK for sooner or later -

ATV - gold
Production in 2008.
People behind this have had outstanding success with past ventures.
Under the radar a bit due to operations being in Nova Scottia.

AYR - gold
I think I should have more.

CXYO - UCG
My goodness, this stock can really move up very nicely or down, down!
Sold some. Hold some.

EXM - gold
Holders waiting for drill results (maybe next month?).

HDN - coal, garnet etc
Sold most but holding some for longer-term. Lots of potential. China is now a net importer of coal!

JMS - iron ore, gold, nickel, uranium...
Excellent tenements. Has to deliver sooner or later. Been board changes recently.

MEO - oil and gas
Important drill results next week.

MMB - nickel-copper-PGE (Platinum Group Elements)
Hold a small amount. Has been some recent good anns. from Canada.
Waiting for more!

MMR - oil and gas
Sold and made some money on the last spike. Bought back in as sp. dropped.

PSP - iron ore and gold
Long time coming but I think we will get there in the end.

PYM - oil and gas
Operations in the US so maybe under the radar. Ann. commerial quantities of oil recently. Expectation of higher sp. in due course!

UOG - Uranium, oil and gas
I expect good things.

Cashing out a bit, but still holding;

ADI- patience required
CUL- holding profit only
CTS- in, out, back in
JMS- same as above, in today
INL- my biggest mistake
PEN-2nd biggest mistake
MHL- doubled holdings, all still there
MDX- will happily hold
SRZ- holding, looking for out
VCN-not good, but in the know

Recently sold SDL,YML and ACS

Looking at AWC as my blue chip in these dodgy times.

Wow! I am a bit amazed at the number of stocks people carry. I could only keep up on news for about 5 max.

Current: HLX, ADY, WDT(NZX)
Recent Exits: EVZ

I don't visit here much but this is quite interesting I think.

Zilch.

AUD/JPY goes in and out every day though

Aqr - Company looking for 50-200MT low grade moly, positive drill results. JORC statement coming soon (DEC I think).

Azs - Bought this as a newbie and still holding it. Well at least I am not losing money on it. Moly grades seem infeasible and might exit after tsx listing.

Azz - Short term play. Been trading this for fun.

Bas - Got a parcel just in case the sp goes too high too soon. Drilling of company maker prospect in March 2008 confirmed.

Cfe - Um, what do I say, been holding this for a while now, still sitting on a horrible loss, bought some more last friday.

Fnt - Bought a bit for fun so I can stay interested in what is going on. Worth the risk if the license incense is granted

Fwl - Bottom drawer stock, regardless of whether I still hold this in future, I wish the company good luck. Australia needs this kind of innovative company.

Hdg - Moly and Uranium play. Very high grade U rock chip from Sweden, good moly prospect (195m @ 0.0715% Mo) and quite a bit of cash for a small company. 2 prospects for the price of 7 million. Currently drilling Moly prospect.

Ipm - Incredibly low PE, with upsides to come from horizontal drilling. Gas prospects to come.

Mco - Lots of high grade gold (expecting a few million ounces), family run company. Company owns a drilling fleet.

Oel - Initially for gas prospect in Turkey (JV with IPM), now they just seem to have lots of good grounds, large cash flow from 2008.

Sar - Find me another gold company with around 80M market cap in which the MD spent 2.5 million dollars buying his own shares, has 2Moz of low grade gold, and owns a plant worth at least 60M. DFS going well.

Tfc - Might have bought this too early. Company has secured more land and I am expecting a bigger program (so more profit) this year.

Recent sold

Ayr - Vietnam partner seems too weak to push the paperwork through. Will buy back in weakness.

Cgm - Sold because this was my largest holding and I was short of cash to play. Will buy back later.

Rml - Fat prophet scared me and I sold. Will buy back in weakness.

Outstanding thread. I'll add my two cents

Hold:

ADY- lithium and I/O. Will be v. interesting start 2008 when they split.

BMN- drilling results expected in next few months. This has every indication of being a monster.

NWE- royalty on Puffin, lease adjoining field. Good, well connected management, and interesting North Sea prospects soon to be drilled.

AED- future blue chipper, a few issues to sort through in the meantime

TZL- overweight, by far biggest holding. Think it has enormous potential- M & A activity, and a NASDAQ listing date aren't far away

BURO- 2/2 successful drills, low market cap, price drifted way off highs due to lack of interest/problems with drills. Drilling big target now-and funds for many more drills in next 6 months.

TEXO- similar to BUR. Number of drills planned next 6 months, good acreage

GGP- management starting to deliver on promises. High oil prices, and leases look like they have good potential

QOL- just granted mining lease, producer by mid 2008, shouldn't require further dilution. Moly prices look strong for 2008 onwards

ROY- expect drilling results from prospects adjoining GBG's before xmas. New uranium prospects acquired in US look to have good potential

What I would like to get into (if funds allowed):

PYM- undervalued, management have assembled good drilling prospects for next 6-9 months. Just struck oil- yet to be determined how much.

OEL- massive potential in Argentina/Philippines. Good recent acquisition- and JV with IPM looks good

IPM- low P/E, good prospects, off the radar

What I recently sold:

RAUO- unbelievable run, held from 1.5c, sold at 15c well away from the top!

MON- stopped out, good long-term potential but recent announcements make me wary

SDL- got in early, sold out happily, uncertain long term prospects, high infrastructure costs, and there is going to be LOTS of new iron ore production on the market from AGO, MMX, RIO, BHP, FMG, GBG, and thats only in Australia

Cheers

I hold BMN and CTS... That is it

mhl only, recently out of mei (dog from fat profits ) aed(possiblr re-enter) nervous of market at moment

Lazyfish, when you say you are already sitting on a horrible loss, just wondering why you bought more?

Is there some fundamental basis for thinking the stock is going to turn around?

AGS - See PDN's comment.
IRM - Got in 30 % below it's recent all time high. Holding.
JMS - Holding since March. Things are finally starting to look interesting.
PDN - Can't believe I didn't get out when it recently hit my break even. Long term believer I guess.

Frustrating year. Lots of lessons learnt.

sort term boom stocks:
DYOR, have a look at ACS, had excellent ANN. on friday, set to become a very traded stock, for the next trading day checkout ACS,

Highlights
The second stage of beneficiation testwork on the Katanning Project has produced high quality
iron and vanadium concentrates.
Mine Hill concentrate: 62.8% Iron & 1.89% vanadium pentoxide
Red Hill concentrate: 61.9% Iron & 1.94% vanadium pentoxide
The concentrate quality compares well with other titanomagnetite projects. Titanomagnetite is being
increasingly accepted as a source of iron ore in the steelmaking industry.
The vanadium content and low levels of deleterious elements in the concentrate is also comparable
to the concentrates at leading South African vanadium operations.
The testwork also showed that more than 70 per cent of the titanium can easily be removed from
the Katanning titanomagnetite, which potentially increases its suitability for use in steelmaking. A
high titanium tailings fraction will be further tested to assess the possibility of recovering ilmenite
as a by-product.
Importantly, the testwork indicates that excellent mass recoveries and concentrate quality can be
achieved at a relatively coarse grind size (300 microns). By contrast, conventional magnetite projects
require energy intensive fine grinding (typically finer than 45 microns).
Data have now been received from a high resolution aeromagnetic survey over the entire Katanning
project, covering a total area of more than 720 square kilometres. The magnetic data is being
processed and interpreted to generate drill targets. Drilling at Katanning is anticipated to commence
around January 2008.

Hi Julia, I can't say the stock is turning around based on some fundamental analysis. I just think it's cheap at this price. IMHO fundamentally, CFE really hasn't changed much at all. They still have all the resources, plus now they have upside from nearby tenements. Price of iron ore is also expected to go up. CFE is now priced (fully diluted) at less than 1 per cent of the in ground value. They are located in a good region, the only issue that I know is that they will probably be forced to construct their own jetty. They lost Ding, so it might take them longer to get into production. Not a big problem for me as I don't see iron ore price coming down in the foreseeable future.

ago - iron ore - cashflow with record prices starting next year...MoU with fortesque for railway access... also has substantial port access.

bci - iron ore - MoU with Fortesque with the railway and looking forward to resource upgrade next march... not too many shares on offer.

oel - oil - fundamentals are excellent, and the galic deal will be awesome for cashflow next year!

mhl - oil and uranium - spec - see what happens...

tmr - gold and copper - will have 4 operational mines in the next 2 years or so, 2 gold mines should be producing 60,000 and 100,000 oz a year each... good potential.

if i had more cash... bnm, neptune is interesting, aoe , tty,
