Invest today and forget it for 25 years

[ethan hunt]

Exponential gains can be made when small mid cap stocks become large caps. Its difficult to make expo gains from large caps.
Regarding 25 years fidelity funds study says that Max gain was made by those investors who were dead or who had forgotten that they had an account with the fund. It also means that the mutual fund kept on tweaking the portfolio whereas you tend to sleep on the same stocks for 25 years. So 25 years is OK but keep on tweaking as per eco biz cycle.

There is an analyst whose clients hold stocks almost perpetually !
Stocks like : Asian Paints, Titan, Page ind. Gruh, Repco Hawkins etc.,etc etc
The portfolio/capital has multiplied a number of times more than 10 times in ten years

A stock that has emerged as potential holdable for 5 to 10 year horizon is KOTHARIPRO.
It is Pan Parag company and has been paying regular dividends. Its books and balance sheet seems healthy. (A smart Fin Analyst is welcome to correct me and find weaknesses on this). With recent anti-tobacco sentiments, company's product had been adversely hit but company has handled the crisis by closing down on units and has not been hit with labor litigation. Besides this, mgmt did seem to have foreseen this risk and had diversified into other ventures.

Another stock that may crawl out of wood-works is TULIP TELECOM. It has dropped from life-time high of 250 and struggling at 1 rs. Its CEO has been arrested and there are whole heap of black-news, but end may be nearing so keep an eye out for this one...

My uncle holds RIL since 1960's, Ashok Leyland since 1998, TCS since 2007.

How could your Uncle hold RIL since 1960 when RIL (Reliance) came out with its IPO in 1977 only. Unless - ofcourse your Uncle happens to be Champaklal Damani.

Sorry!!! and Good catch. Thanks for seeking the clarification. I merely posted what I remembered him saying and I do very well recall as him saying 1960 (will certainly ask him).

search today's uknown tomorrow's known company.
some sample: clutch auto, meghmoni organics, tourism finance, opto circuit, trigyn technology, samkrg piston, gei inds, marksan pharma, freshtrop fruits, manapuram fin etc.

(I do not know about above companies fundamental strength or back ground, just mentioned from my gut feelings. I do not have any investment in these companies except tourism finance. I bought this scrip in 1996-97 at around 15/-)

Penny stocks - the only place for crazy gains. Works as a lottery most of the times, because it's impossible to know which company will get an outburst in it stock value and which one will fall down to the bottom of the list..
