What stocks are currently in your portfolio?

Jump to new
DIO - still accumulating very cheap now I think.
AZS - Bought in the on lows of the august doom and gloom and hold. Gold and silver.. as well as recent upgrades in Moly grades ..
SUN - Long term hold, good div yield and think is fairly cheap at the moment.
AXT - Have been buying up at recent lows. Have high hopes for this baby.

Got out of IAG recently. think it's a great company but management needs some changing. Will be keeping an eye on it as I think there is potential for big improvements once we see Hawker replaced.

BBG - Sold out at $18.
Looking at getting back in soon. Fundamentals are strong and geting better, has been hit by the US dollar.
 
In order of holding size (new to investing so all bought in the last 3-months).


CVN - going great guns. Hitting lots of oil in Tailand
TTY - going great too. Currently shipping Hematite iron ore from the Northern Territory
TMR - pretty much sitting on my buy-in SP but has fantastic med-long term potential (in production copper and expanding and developing gold).
GDY - looking very positive. Geothermal in South Aus. Probably biggest potential of any stock I have ever seen - if it all works out.
MSB - Biotech using adult stem cells that they grow millions of in the lab (off the shelf style product). Heals bone fractures and heart damage. Will have to wait for stage 2 tests but all indications are it works very well.
MGX - has risen awesomely in last few months. Currently shipping Hematite iron ore from WA
BHP - yeah boring but strong
LGL - has risen well lately. Biggest gold mine/resource in the world (i think?).


Overall I am pretty happy with this bunch. I am well ahead from my buy-in even with the market choppiness. Hope I am not getting lulled into a false sense of security with beginners luck...

Oh - I also did have a holding of CFE which I reevaluated and sold off for a small loss and put what I got into topping up on CVN - so thats well in to profits again now. The fact that CFE management's earlier comments were bending the truth came out in their latest report. I still think they have great potential - so close to port - but can't help wondering if there is some other undisclosed issue.

Interested in others thoughts or criticisms regarding the portfolio as I am new to investing.
 
Chewy, I'll give you a few thoughts on your approach and stocks if you like and of course feel free to take or leave.....you can see my current holdings on an earlier page so you can pretty much see where my money is...but of course it takes many different eggs to make an omelate or whatever the saying is...

I'm guessing you are in your 20's and excited to throw some risk capital out there and that's all for the good cause more Aussies should have the balls to manage their own portfolio themselves.......Having said that, I look at your portfolio just like many others on this site and I get a coronary........you got biotech and you got mining.......you should be aware of the risk profile straight up....I see a lot of people talking about mining stocks being long term.....the fact is they are cyclicals and the risk profile is massive.

Funny enough, last few years have been the time for cyclicals and mining and there really is nothing that can make more money in a short time......so many on this site would testify to.....the fact is that I love risk myself but only risk I can manage...I don't buy many 'risky' stocks but then I'm always fully invested and with a margin loan.

My point is, read up on investment, I recommend the classic text like "One Up on Wall Street" and invest your capital in accordance with your knowledge and experience....make no mistake, your cyclicals could make you a friggan million dollars but you still would not know how to keep the money once you got it. Anyway, hope that makes some sense and best for your wealth
 

Hi Lazyfish,
Thanks for the explanation. I'm not being critical but am just really interested when people buy more of a stock which has been going down for several weeks.
So if you think it's cheap now, it will be even cheaper if it loses, say, another 10 cents, so will you buy even more then?
 

Hi Julia, If nothing has changed, or the story has gotten better, it's very likely I don't gamble, but I think it's similar to a roulette game where you double your bets on a colour until it hits. Except in this case I do believe the odds are slightly in my favour.
 
I have one individual stock with substantial amount of shares:

Medium term 2/3 years . Double or treble.

APK (Auspower)
 
Thanks Rainmaker I appreciate the comments. I have read about a dozen investment books lately and agree with you in general. I am only 30 and only have about 25K to start investing in (which I could cope with losing in a worst case senario). My plan is to double, triple, 10-bag it relatively quickly, with a fairly high risk approach - and then mellow it out and take a safer long term approach once there is actually a decent amount of money there.

I know I have mostly mining stocks at the moment but my research tells me that once countries start industrialising they very rarely stop until its done. With the massive populations of China and India both industrialising at the moment I can see a lot of upside in mining for quite some time yet (possibly the biggest/longest boom ever seen in Aus), so I am happy to ride that train for now.

I also have a couple of energy stocks (CVN and GDY). I also understand the high risk of biotechs but I only hold one (MSB), and it has potential for huge returns.
 
my total holdings are about $55k and i as a rule do not hold more than $5k in any one stock. I have a mix of fin, biotech, mining. I have bought some at their high prices thinkign that they have turned and ar eabout to have a run good run only to see them falter
AMP - LT
TLS - LT
MLB - LT
BPT - LT
AOE - LT
RIO - LT
SUN - LT
CIY - M TO ST
RMS - M TO ST
TLM - LT bought at the higher price
BLR - LT cause bought at the higher price
PDN - LT
ELX - LT cause bought at the higher price
ITD - LT cause of heay loss so far
ACL - LT
Your thoughts on any the above would be appreciated
 
Chewy, good to see you are on your way and aware of what you are doing....I too think the China story is running and going to run longer than people expected and stay in touch with the game you are playing with such stocks.....it does really appear to be about the China story and many investors are on board wanting above average returns........since the Western consumer supplies much of the demand for this story, and the Western consumer is showing some type of stress, we will all keep an eye on this space....

For me, I guess unconsciously I'm following a 'barbell strategy', I don't want any cyclicals but I'm well aware of the prosperity this boom is bringing to many Aussies and how that spreads across the less 'sexy' sectors.........for example, some guys on this site have drawn attention to a stock with has massive exposure to the mining boom, but is not in a mining related business........it is currently valued, if you can believe it at close to a PE of 2........I'm stalking a ten bagger too and I like my chances on little gem
 
basically finance and resources.. not that exciting.

SGB - nice and steady
NAB - almost back to highs
MQG - who knows whats going on haha! Still wish id sold mbl @ 100!
BNB - holding and waiting
BHP - in at 22 and bought again recently
GTP - Biggest loss, hoping for a rise before selling
VBA - Slow and steadily down, even good news isn't boosting it.
 
Though I have only been in the market for about a year, I have a long-term perspective and currently hold (from most to least):

STW (ASX200 index fund)
ARG
BHP
WOW
WDC
CBA
MBL

Adding CHO and/or MLT in the near future as I would like to concentrate more on LICs for their share purchase plans/rights issues. Any thoughts are welcome.
 
Chewy, check out the FDY thread......you'd like it, it's risky...heheh....or at least it must be cause its so damn cheap....I'm certainly not looking the gift horse in the mouth

My current portfolio is -

CTN + 20,000 rights to take up @ $1.75
EQN
KZL
MAH
MCR
MGX
ZFX

From past posts I could end up with heaps of criticism being almost all mining, cyclical, risky etc. However I attempt to hold stocks for at least 12 months and benefit from 50% discounted cgt.
As an exercise, I revalued my portfolio of 1/7/2005 at current prices and my investment is now up by $150k (at cost) and at sell by $300k. Incidentally, of the 15 stocks I held on 1/7/2005, BHP is the only one I hold now.

I am quite happy and waiting for a takeover of ZFX.
 
Am surprised at the amount different comps some folks have in their portfolio. For me it's more simple.

HSBC in Hong Kong been holding and accumulating fopr years
EPG held for a few years but taken profit on occassion.
ANU in there since IPO

I also hold a couple of European REITs.

I just stay away from USA
