Live Portfolio: trades for Feb/7

When markets don’t help you, you need to help yourself. In the last three days, the technical trades were not able to do a very good job. And I also learned that having 3 stocks in portfolio, still is concentrated. Hence I tapped on the opportunity created today in the markets, to expand the portfolio into a couple of more stocks with bullish technicals.

I cut back my holdings on UCOBANK [stockquote]UCOBANK[/stockquote]to half, and CAIRN [stockquote]CAIRN[/stockquote] to three quarters to take new positions in SAIL [stockquote]SAIL[/stockquote] and PETRONET[stockquote]PETRONET[/stockquote]. Here is why..

It is clearly visible for SAIL that the oscillators are nearing the over-sold levels, and hence an opportunity is being created for the stock to start its up-move. The stagnating MACD lines are in confirmation as well.

Again, for PETRONET, the oscillators are much below their historical reversal levels, suggesting of an up move possibility.

Although, partial closing of positions did take the poheatmaprtfolio a bit down, but I am sure that in the longer turn of events putting eggs in different baskets is going to help.

Here’s how the performance and portfolio looks like currently.

The government is selling its 9.5% stake (78.3 Cr shares) at a floor price of Rs. 145 per stock, a discount of Rs. 10 per share. The stock is currently trading at a PE of 13.05, a price of Rs. 145 will bring it down to 12.17, lesser than comparables. With the US power industry rotating from coal to domestic natural gas, we expect the international price of coal, the main input cost for NTPC, come down over a period of time. We give the government’s OFS a BUY at this price.
