One of the many hallmarks of Lynch approach was "rotation"- selling the company and replacing it with another company with similar story, but better prospects and probably more exciting in fundamental value.
 
That's what i  meant when i said our smarcatjee can make those agile moves to keep logging those high returns consistently.

i am remembered of my college days when it was a lot of theory and very little practical knowledge 
 
I'm afraid I'll have to agree that large returns expectations from this investing strategy is just a theory for now. 
 
On a sidenote, having laboured upto 97, why don't you think of adding another 3 to have full set of kauravas
 
If I humour this, then somebody else might ask me to top up the Kauravas portfolio with a Dhritarashtra stock like Reliance Power.

Actually, to an extent, Basant successfully executed similar (but different) moves between 2007 to 2009 - with a portfolio of 4 or 5 stocks!
 
When the market had just started to crash in Jan 2008, he got out of Pantaloon/Yes bank/Axis bank and got into Titan/HDFC Bank (which barely moved) and Voltas (OK, this one moved a lot). At close to the bottom of crash (oct 2008 to mar 2009), he moved into midcaps like Voltamp/ Thermax etc. When the markets went up post Mar 2009, these midcaps caught fire. Now that the markets are in a steadily rising phase, he has moved into Page/Hawkins.

With this mega-diversified portfolio, i feel your return will be index related on the way up, but will fall more than the index on way down. So timing & agility of your moves is going to be the differentiator. I'm sure you're going to handle it deftly.

This thread is easily my favourite on TED. Thanks to Smartcat jee.
 


How interesting for the theme to reflect shades of Mahabharat.
Wonder if a concentrated portfolio of 5 stocks ( pandavas ) performs better than 100 stocks ( Kauravas ) hmnnn...

Seems like we know the players on the Pandava and Kauravas side by now. Let the games begin.

It seems that Mahamuni Vyas would need to rewrite Mahabharat.


RG Verma is already rumored to be touring Kurukshetra for right locations.

Anyhooo.... coming back to the portfolio, keep an eye on the these stocks - you might start hearing these names more often in the future.
 
Pennar Industries: A turnaround candidate, a steel maker that has now transformed itself into an Engineering company. Some 20% of its revenues come from Indian Railways, another 10 odd percent from Automobile segment.
 
Nav Bharat Ventures:  For those who missed out on Jindal Steel and Power. Just like JSPL, NBV is a steel producer (ferro alloy actually) that sets up a captive plant, realizes that there is big money in merchant power and goes ahead makes plans to setup a 1000 MW merchant plant. Reliance MF (along with a host of other mutual funds) is invested in this one.
 
[Putting on my shiny new "value investor" hat]
Surprisingly, this is a decent 2% plus dividend yield stock trading at 5 PE
 
Zydus Wellness: FMCG stock whose products get pretty good shelf exposure in modern retail stores.
