Out of the 33 counters, I only have Neratel.....
Hmm.. out of the 33, I only have Global Investment and it is less than 2% of my holding.
1. Maybe you can ask "What are the top 10 best businesses well managed by the management?"
2. Pick the top 10, then u force yourself to discard the rest.
And every time you want to add to the list, you ask, are they better than the top 10?
Not easy, but u will enjoy the fruits at the end of the journey.

I forget where I read it. They have a strategy to maintain only best 35 ideas. Every time they want to add one to the list, they have to remove one from the list.

Hi Cyclone, could you give a rough idea of your XIRR for the portfolio?
Hi Shrivathsa,
I do not use XIRR to compute the return, instead I use NAV per unit method.
I try to compute at the end of each month if I'm free.
NAV per unit at the beginning of CY2014 was 1.297122.
NAV per unit at 2014/08/31 was 1.288124.
So it was still underwater.
There were some distributions during the period. All dividends received were plowed back into the "fund".
If we excluded the distributions, NAV per unit would be 1.432362.

NAV is lower with dividend included, and higher with dividend excluded? It means all dividends were re-invested at higher price, and remain "underwater", right?
although I might sounds sarcastic but I am serious.
WB famous burger story.
if you are buying hamburger, do you want it's price to go up or down?
Everyday, I am wishing for my burger price to drop...and I have to be very patient given the current conditions.
