Hi,
   Please find below my latest portfolio. Did some tinkering recently..


Stocks %
Pantaloon Ret 22.80%
TV 18 20.55%
Network 18 Fin 13.27%
AdityaBirlaNuvo 10.40%
Nucleus Softwar 8.97%
Ent Network Ind 5.46%
Financial Tech 4.94%
Kotak Mahindra 4.32%
Yes Bank 2.93%
Lloyd Electric 2.29%
Zicom Security 2.22%
Zee Entertain 1.88%

During this recent carnage...Converted the HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank & HDFC that I had into TV18, Network18 & Pantaloon. They were anyway small % of my portfolio and the only reason I had them was they would be stable steady compounders.. But with the govts play with inflation.. I don't think I will have that stability with them in medium term.. I anyway moved into them pretty late so don't have a considerable margin of safety.. So moved out of them before they start to show some red ..

Have created a small exposure to Zicom.. With recent security lapses in railway stations leading to constant security scenarios, think they should benefit from some kind of security measure. They have a monopoly in that segment.. Also could be considered a pick-axe theme in the retail boom..More and more housing boom & nuclear families I think ppl would start focusing on home security systems too...

Regarding Financial Technologies I don't know if I should stay or leave.. With govt regulations on banning future trading .. Donno if Financial Tech will see the growth that we expected by 2010.. I don't have enough margin of safety on this one either as I made only a late entry.. It is just showing barely black for me..

Any suggestions on this would help ...

My questions are  :

a) Financial technologies..
b) Does the split between TV18 & Network 18 look okay .. Or is there alternate suggestion for redistributing them ?

Often we forget there's a company behind every stock,and there's only one reason why stocks go up. Companies go from doing poorly to doing well or small companies grow to large companies.

Vivek ji, amazing way you have worked your portfolio. I like it a lot, but only 3 suggestion(s) would be(which you may also know, but repeating nonetheless):
 
1) Keep yourself ready for a 50% fall anytime, minimum 30%.
2) Keep a 3 years view minimum.
3) See how the portfolio is doing after every year, not after every quarter.
 
 
Rest, I think you are intelligent enough to handle it, since you have created a nice portfolio. Good luck.

Thanks Omji for the review comments !
I could not have done this without TED, Basantji & all senior members..

I would say "TED is my Tonic"

You are right. I should be ready for a 30-50% fall anytime.

I am absolutely convinced about my top 5 - Pantaloon, TV18, Net18, ABNuvo & Nucleus. There is no way I am selling them for next 3 yrs.

It is the other parts of my portfolio that I have some thoughts on quarter to quarter... As for these stocks go... I may be not so prudent to say this, but my conviction on them is related to my margin of safety...

Hi

I am also having financial technology in my portfolio. Its more that 10% for me now.

What i feel is that it can really get Big. We all know about  MCX, there is nothing more to say about it.  With govt regulation it might  get effected  to some extent but  not that huze. ( Initially I was very much worried, when i heard that story, but Basant Sir helped me a lot to cool my nerves)

Its software business is huze. The only sizeable competitor is Tibco and IBM. One day that software business itselt can give lots of return. There can be  serious  value unlocking on it  in the near future. 

I think u will do well if u add some more weight in TV 18. I think u can sell  zee entertainment and add that to TV 18.

Make your Life as simple as possible.

This looks very well laid out. Someday when I have a diversified portfolio I would like to replicate this strategy.

Vivek,

I think you can hold Financial technologies.. It is the best possible franchise that anybody can own. There would not be any more commodity exchanges in the country(most likely). Though anybody can open a business channel, entertainment channel etc, exchange cannot be opened by anybody else. That means that unless the company itself does something stupid, MCX would be the market leader. However, the difficult part is related to the govt. It will happen over a period of time..I have a firm belief that India will emerge a commodity behemoth in the years to come..MCX would be direct play on that.. Besides that also Jignesh shah is a smart man, who is using money from MCX to develop other technologies and build businesses around them.
However you have to be convinced yourself as the company is not cheap and given govt intervention (though it affects MCX minimally)it can test the patience.

That was a good insight on the business model of FT. WHile near term concerns could be there the longer term is absolutely robust.You could actually use these declines to convert some of your marginal positions into FT.
