Critique my Portfolio.
« on: November 14, 2013, 01:44:46 pm »
I know nothing about investing,but thanks to the generous folk on this forum,I have learned a little.

I have selected some stocks based on favorites from some  people on this forum.You will probably know who based on my shares.

My goal is overall maximum  and safe growth with more than an aggressive edge long term or at least 3 years.

I am not opposed to taking risks,but since I know nothing,I would only do it with the advice and reasoning of forum members.

I need the lowest expenses on all shares/indexes,relatively Low P.E ratios.

I am thinking of dividing my shares as follows:

SAtrix Indi   50%
OMN           30%     
PNC            10%
MTA            10%

I am really sucking these figures out of my thumb.

I honestly want to just invest in these and continue to buy more of  these shares in the future.I will look at their performance  now and then but for the large part I don't want to be too involved with them due to my lack of knowledge.

This does not mean that I wont be watching them,since I will be trying to learn about investing.

Anyways,I'm looking to get in on the bottom like everyone else.

Please give me alternative winner's.Also please show me the percentage of each share I have listed you would invest in.Thanks a ton.
Also,if you have any tips about buying in dips that would be great since I will be chucking most of my money into these.

Thanks guys!

MTA - PE 12, Orca will handle this 1.

Go on, be risky. Add a small % of Gold & commodity shares  O:-)

Looking at that comparison chart above, PNC performed the best overall. Had the ZAR not weakened, she would be over 400%. She will procede as soon as R10 to the $ becomes the new normal and her new acquisition adds to her profits.
STXIND is a stable 30 percenter and with OMN added to it for that extra boost is all I need in my retirement portfolio.
MTA made a massive acquisition that will add plenty of alpha from December. This will be a 140% + pa stock for some years to come. Once the loan for the new plant is paid off though. Stock of the year for 2015.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

Naah. CML has become too dicy. Made her good run for years and perhaps will continue. Who knows?

Today I deposited the proceeds from the sale of my business into my broker account and will be buying OML.

I hear you loud and clear,safe,consistent,comfortable,certain gains with OMN and INDI.But with that being said,if you were in my shoes,and not in retirement,would you dabble in PNC and  MTA?

From what you said Im talking maby 10% of my portfolio for MTA-5% and PNC-5%,if its worth the trouble?

Im thinking higher for MTA though,but maby I am being greedy.

Results came out the same month.
PNC's results was lower than the previous year and selloff was overdone as Datatec profits were not yet included.
MTA's results was also lower and she tanked until the SENS of the major acquisition came out and she shot back up.

Delusion. I don't know how old you are. If you have 15 to 20 years left to retirement then cut out the Indi or halve it.

I went on early retirement last week and have no Indi in my portfolio as of yet. This is only due to the fact that I have not reached my 4% thing yet. So while I'm in good mental health, I will go for that 4%. Once that is reached or I start acting funny, I will sell all and buy into the Indi and perhaps some OML for alpha. Like in 70%/30%.
