I take out a good percentage of my profits and also the cost! but over time i still make money on the same stock when mkt conditions are good....I have done this recetly for cadbury and Inetrnational Breweries and they still keep going up even the small qty i still have left there is still coughing out more dough

It will get there, provided if they can achieve the expected EPS for 2012.

When I see more than 6 stocks in my portfolio nowadays, I get jittery that I must be doing something wrong. I always want to hold the best of the best of the best stocks in my portfolio not second class upper stocks. After exiting International breweries and dumping all into Diamond bank at N3.95 I have no regrets. None.

Make you dey enjoy the party while it last, but once your Pastor, barber, mechanic, and area boys start talking about stock make you know say the market is gradually becoming over bought.

My target is to have 5, for now I have 10, 2 of which I bought while learning and a bit stuck with them. I'll reduce the 8 left in due season to 5. Interestingly I sold Dangote Sugar to get diamond bank last year.

Personally, I'll buy nothing now, I agree with waiting for the FYE results and place it on fix deposit for 30 days maximum. There will be more opportunities later during the year. Patience will be a very important key now.

I will buy nothing and hold my cash. Some prices will drop after full year results or possibly Q1 results. Won’t also invest my cash in any fixed instrument in case opportunity appears sooner than my projection.
