Announcing re-opening of paid subscriptions to my Monthly Investment Newsletter

I am pleased to announce the re-opening of paid subscriptions to my monthly investment newsletter for a 3 weeks period from Jul 1-21, 2018. A limited number of subscriptions are being offered to blog visitors, blog followers, blog subscribers and twitter followers – on a first-come first-served basis – to enable me to provide personalised attention and guidance to each subscriber.

If you are interested in subscribing, please send an email tomobugobu@yahoo.com today for details.

The newsletter has completed 100 issues, with its share of hits and misses. Sensex and Nifty touched lifetime highs in Jan, 2018 and have since been in corrective phases during which small-cap and mid-cap stocks have faced sell-offs. That has affected overall performance. It is gratifying that subscribers have still kept faith in my stock picking abilities.

Those who have been regularly following my blog posts know what kind of stocks to select, and what type of stocks to avoid. The guiding principle is to choose well-managed, financially prudent companies that generate cash from operations, have manageable debt, give steady (rather than spectacular) returns and have growth prospects.

Non-subscribers may be interested to know how the recommended (mostly mid-cap and small-cap) stocks have fared during the past 18 months. Without revealing the names of the stocks (it won’t be fair to my subscribers to do so), here is a brief summary of performance as on Jun 29, ‘18:

  • 11 stocks gained more than 25%, of which 6 gained between 25-49%; 1 gained between 50-99%; 4 gained more than 100% (of which 1 gained more than 250%)
  • Of the balance 7 stocks, 4 gained between 10-24%, 3 gained between 1-9%
The stock market has been in a consolidation-cum-correction phase from which it is yet to recover fully - thanks to FII selling. Several stocks have lost their gains and some have slipped into the red - despite good fundamentals. 

However, monthly technical updates with suitable stop-losses have enabled investors to preserve their gains and/or kept their losses small.

What is important to understand is that none of these stocks were ‘cheap’ valuation-wise – fundamentally strong stocks rarely are - and some had already run up a lot when they were recommended.

If you wish to learn how to add fundamentally strong mid-cap and small-cap stocks with growth potential to your portfolio, why wait? Just subscribe to my Monthly Investment newsletter. Send me an email (at mobugobu@yahoo.com) today – subscriptions will close on Jul 21, 2018.
