Diversification in Investment

Diversification in investments:

      It is literal and clear that diversification has all to do with reducing risk. You may also want to fancy-name it ‘asset-allocation’. Why would one ‘allocate’ to multiple asset classes or ‘diversify’ if one is safely sure about one asset class, and the return on would get, one would never think of any sort of allocating or diversification. Yes it also has to do with the advent of the ‘financial industry’. Recently we see in indian markets the launch of, simultaneously, gold etf and hybrid mf schemes involving equity, debt as well as gold etf investment. Why? They have launched only now? Wasn’t there as need of ‘gold-touch’ earlier? Or in one year only gold has become ‘investible’ or worth giving ‘allocation’? thus most of us do/or should understand, this is about business and they have to sell financial products, any for that matter.
Well, coming to the main topic, lets’ see some expert thoughts on diversification in investing:

Legendary investor Warren Bufferr has said for diversification,
“Diversification is protection against ignorance; it makes very little sense if you know what you are doing.”
He also says,

IPOs-Some Most Important Things to know about


WHEN ITS HOT AND FIREY!
IPOs only and only come in hot and bull market. Why? So that they can obtain the highest price.

MERCHANT BANKERS AIN’T YOUR FRIEND
Investors forget that Merchant Bankers are selling agents of the issuers. And many times they are also given extra fee for performance selling over and above fixed fee.
Merchant/Investment banking is a cream business. So many are in race to get mandates for IPOs from issuer companies. They will do everything to please the company.

SELL ON LISTING? If you’re lucky enough.
Most investors have only one funda for investing in IPOs.
To sell on listing!
They all think that they will be able to sell and outsmart everyone else.
They all feel so because of psychology. They have seen some issues listing at high premium and their listing premiums quoting in so called ‘gray-market’; and this brings the representative bias. The availability bias makes him confront only good and positive news and information. They ignore the discounted/failed listed IPOs. And in hot market there is all news of economic growth as well.

New sectors are not invented every now and then: The fad and fancy for ‘new’ in markets:
Many IPOs come which are highly pricey and shares of some peer company are already available in secondary market. Still

HOusing Finance Counters: Update on Recommendation given on Behavioral Finance principles

Behavioral finance has just evolved in earlier part of this decade.
Understanding of behavioral finance can help tremendously in investing; and so in trading and speculation as well.
On 13 May, we reported in brief about the application of rule of behavioral finance in housing finance sector stocks. We talked about the ‘representative’ and ‘leadership’ bias. How small companies tend to follow the sector leader. We covered a sector with fewer listed companies.
The LIC Housing is listed industry leader and after it Dewan Housing, Gruh Finance, Ind Bank Housing, Can Fin Homes can be listed amongst the housing finance specific companies.

DEWAN HOUSING has since shot up to new high of 260 from 230 levels.
While GRUH FINANCE has since shot up to new high of 351 from 290 levels.
Can Fin Homes hit new high of 140 today, while Gruh Finance, and Dewan Housing also hit highs in this month. while Ind Bank Housing is trading firmly above 20.
We still recommend both of this stocks for fresh buys.

Experience and Learning

Experiences and learning:

“The second name of experience is to learn”
-Dhirubhai Ambani

         Would anyone contradict with this great personality? Every day is experience, every hour is experience, every minute is experience, every event is experience, every response is experience, every action is experience, and every reaction is experience. So does that mean all the life is experience? And by virtue of all the experiences being learning; there is nothing in saying that life is an experience or/and learning. Experience can also be described as the meeting place or convergence of the situation one faces and the mental effects of those situations.
            There is a thin differentiation understanding it. But there are few things to it. All experience, but
