Is this book worth a read. Can you elaborate on this?

Later, I intend to spend some serious amount of time to understand the debt markets. When Gilt funds & long term bond funds earn 30% in a single year, I just cannot ignore it. Keeping track of historic home loan interest rates (bond value goes up as interest rates fall) will be a good start for coming up with a plan.

Debt markets do have their own charm and yes, 30 -50 % returns are possible. I have a friend who specializes in debt instruments over here and he pull some surprises out of his hat from time to time.

Did the cops solve the recent case of 10 murders in Goa? It is rumoured that most of victims were value investors. Is there any truth in that?

Can you indicate the growth in this portfolio in terms of return from March 09, 2009?

Portfolio size went up 2.5 times since March lows - mostly powered by old boys like JPA, Adani, GE Shipping etc. But I also invested some fresh cash after July - so that too would have added to the portfolio size.

I can check the returns of the new portfolio only from this Diwali to the next - because I started the restructuring in July and it was completed only last saturday when I bought Zydus Wellness.

Hindustan Tin has given the highest returns [up 275%] - but ironically, the holding percentage is very low because I didn't find the company (and still don't) very impressive. Sumedha Fiscal (minus 1.5%) has given the lowest returns.

The rest of the stock returns are in between these two. It actually suits me fine - because I intend to get rid of these stocks one by one later.

Do you use a chain-saw for your gardening?

Thanks, I just wanted to check if I am really missing some fun (in terms of returns) by holding a few stocks.

Any idea as to what would it have done if you strip out for the new cash in approximate terms.
