My Investment Style

Over a period of years I have evolved as an Investor. There is a change, there is a learning and experience. So here is how I see it today:

Good Part of my style:

1. I can analyze Stock performance from basic parameters
2. I can do a good job judging IPO investment opportunity
3. I can spot good MF schemes & quality stocks
4. Have been conservative
5. Historically, made decent profits in IPO (But IPO Money is getting difficult now)
   
6. I can analyze my own personal finance well
7. Good reading on the subject. I spend reasonable time to keep myself updated.

Not so Good Part of my style:

1. Not reached a level of analyzing the opportunities for Stock Investments on my own. Still need professional analyst reports. This is a function of time that I can spend so hoping to make better use of my time going forward.
   
2. Have not been opportunistic in terms of getting maximum buck. Thinking is 'If I am going to sell LIC Housing Finance years later at 2000 or so, it does not make a difference if I buy at 980 or 1025. In reality, even this difference, matters
   
3. Have not been able to network much with others & hence not learning the smart way
4. Personal Finance focus is largely on Stocks & MF. Have not yet done a comprehensive insurance for house, as an example.
5. Have not understood Technical methods, chars etc. Have not learned / traded in derivatives. Don't even intend to Trade in derivatives but knowledge would be nice.
