 The Equity Desk XI vs. The Indian Cricket XI
 
I have tried to create my definition of what could be a multibagger portfolio for the next 3-4 years. To give the first time investors of what kind of companies these are I have compared it to the Indian Cricket XI.
 
Some of the stocks in this portfolio have gone up multifold but that does not mean it cannot go up further. http://www.theequitydesk.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=264 - Infosys  went up 30 times after it was a 100 bagger. But we cannot get an Infosys every time.This does not mean that there will no more Infosys in the  Indian Markets.  http://www.myweb.com/ - Marc Faber once told me that http://www.theequitydesk.com/stock_has_gone_up.asp - Just because a stock has gone up 9 times do not mean it should decline.

Thanks for that effort. If you look at the index from the date individual stocks were recommended you would conclude that this index has beaten all the MF's and hedge funds in India and surprisingly the equitydesk index comes without load/management fees/carry it is FREE and because it is free it is still to hit the popularity charts!!!

I dont think any fund managers have guts to hold only 11 stocks..Also,they can invest a maximum of 10% of their asset size in a particular stock..Samir Arora restricts max.holdings upto 6%..

While I have assumed that equal amount was invested in each of the stocks, I don't think that's how you intended it to be. I'm sure you are more bullish on some stocks (Pantaloon, TV18) and less bullish on others (Trent? Suzlon?).
 
So if somebody wants to invest in TED XI from tomorrow, what would your portfolio allocation be in percentages for each of the stocks?
 
What I'm surprised about is - TED XI has very low volatility eventhough there are only 11 stocks. HDFC, HDFC Bank and Bharti seems to bring lots of stability to the portfolio while the hard work of giving returns is done by the others.

Devesh:More you the number of stock that you hold, more you dilute the better ideas. It is just like if you want to have everything in a dinner party you can have only so much of your favourite dish.
 
For a normal person he copuld allocate almost equally. FOr greedy people like me we are too busy trying to be cautious (buying stocks that I can see with my eyes and monitor day by day) and putting more money in the best idea.
 
Now let us talk about one stock where I went a bit wrong "Educomp" since I could not monitor the day to day movement of this company (quite unlike a TV channel where you can sit down and count the  number of thrid party advertisements) I recommended selling off at around Rs1040 but on the thread I did mention that diversified portfolios (more then 8 stocks) could hold it since all the company did was adapt an aggressive accounting posture.
 
So if I get a  chance I would put everything into either Tv18 or Pantaloon or Network 18 but that is not how risks are managed.The returns would come with in the backdrop of higher risks. On the other hand if I wanted to have one stock and sleep well at night I would be with HDFc bank!
 
Look at most of the MF portfolios they hold a lot of non performing junk commodity stocks in decent quantity now how this diversification reduces risk is something that beats me.

Personally, I'm not investing in TED XI in the current composition - because it doesn't suit my risk profile. I'm more of a large cap kind of guy. However, I do have some stocks of TED XI in my portfolio in much lower percentages.
 
I'm tracking TED XI to benchmark my personal portfolio's performance Smile
 
A few comments about TED XI -
 
- Not having any exposure to the Big Three software companies might result in TED XI underperforming the Sensex - especially if Infy comes out with 30% YoY growth next quarter.
 
- After entry of NW18, media companies constitute 40% of the overall portfolio.
 
- No Reliance Industries? RPL refinery is going online in 2008. Cash profit is set to double in 2010 thanks to KG basin gas discoveries. Reliance Retail should bring in serious money after that. Isn't this a good pick for Rip Van Winkle?

Your arguments make a lot of sense. But we are all trying to make that money. If we can make our 30%+  in HDFC bank and ENIL why should we look for Reliance and Infy!
 
Fund managers invest in index heavyweights (Reliance and Infy) because they do not want their NAV to move away significantly from the broader index. Since we are not bothered by day to day movements we can do away with the large cap exposure.
 
Media and enteratainment does have an aggressive weightage but that is what http://www.theequitydesk.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=364 - concentrated portfolios unlike the diversified ones are made out for.

That's a good one Vip1!
 
In my opinion, TED is not just about these 11 stocks.
 
It's a Gurukul* of sorts where one can learn & improve upon emotional aspects which are the most crucial, learn about process of selection, identifying & understanding businesses, pitfalls of listening to Tips, end-results of over-leveraging, and much much more...

Rightly said Basant sir. I seriously think we should try an achieve the current TED XI CAGR for next 15-20 years OR at least 30%. TED would then get some serious recognition which I really want it to get.
 
So, we need to get this tempo. going and you would have to change your earlier milestone of 2010 Basant sir for the collective good of TED. We are with you all the way.

I will be compiling and putting up a detailed half yearly TheEquityDesk XI performance results (1st Jan 2007 to 30th Jun 2007) by the end of this month.
 
So far, the results are looking good. If TED XI was a mutual fund, it would be in No. 1 position. However, we have 3 more trading days to go and a couple of MFs might beat TED XI by a small margin.

Thanks for all that. It should be done that way so we always have a reality check going. Actually I am surprised to see that some MF's could beat TED stocks for the 6 month period.

You are going directly head to head with Sandip Sabharwal (JM Basic) and Standard Chartered Premier Equity (which has a media & Ent biased portfolio). Sandip is 'cheating' by using Futures!

Stan Chart Premier Eq is the fund to watch as i said earlier.
 
Smartcat,would you consider Titan or Educomp?

On the date Basant kicked out Educomp and replaced it with Titan, I did the same too. Ditto with Aditya Birla and Trent.

I just saw today's results. On the day when Sensex didn't move much, TED XI is up around 5%. I don't think there is a contest anymore between MFs and TED.

100% correct. TED follows stock selection to limit the risk whereas MFs follow diversification for the same. They are regulated by SEBI we are by BM Wink. We resemble more like PMS.

growth stocks will continue to look expensive as long as the growth continues and a pe rerating will continue to happen  for some one wanting to buy ted stocks see whether the growth is continuing and how long can it continue rather than watching stock prices.if growth is intact then any break in momentum should be used as an oportunity-----a great business at a fair price is far better than a fair business at  agreat price--CHARLIE MUNGER

Yesterday only I joined this forum and I am also a novice in share investing also. I was going through the Share cum Cricket team of TED and I was really impressed by the resonings and logics behind choosing the scrips. I have One doubt. I kindly request you to please clarify the same.
 
I hope this model portfolio of expected multibaggers was prepared in mid of June 2006 and after that the portfolio has also undergone many changes depending on the market situations.
 
I went through the latest team as mentioned by you in 1st July 07 on this forum. I want to have such a portfolio. Can you please tell whether it is the appropriate time(Sensex touches new high n all) to accumulate the whole portfolio as mentioned by you? Of course I have to purchase all freshly, because I have only ENIL in my portfolio as of now.
 
Looking forward for your kind advice.
 
Warm Regards
Gouranga
 
Thank you for the kind words. We do keep changing the players in the team but broadly I do not time markets.If you would be buying some stocks from the model portfolio by selling existing holdings then it should not matter because if the market tanks so would your existing holdings.Broadly I would back all the companies in the XI for a 3 year period.

Not many people realize this. Timing of investments, if attempted, should be done only with 'new money'.
