Specifically, I will simulate the effect of buying in tranches of 5% of portfolio value at a time for the next 24 months.I suspect "my" adjusted portfolio will beat yours by 60 to 70%. FYI my actual portfolio mirrors yours except I dont have DTK and I am heavy on EABL and BAT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9317825.post-85369495375037279962008-11-17T16:54:00.000+03:002008-11-17T16:54:00.000+03:00To borrow what was written by Eleanor Kigen in Tod...To borrow what was written by Eleanor Kigen in Today's Business Daily "When we see other people buying shares and making money we assume that they know what they are doing and we follow them blindly." So does it also follow that when we see other people staying away from an IPO we need to follow suit? To cut the story short; I agree with her advise, avoid following the crowd blindly!. Do we need to follow the theory of irrational exuberance?

Isnt it basic maths that you do not launch a share issue in the deep end of a raging bear market, a market that has the most prized blue chips selling at prices that have nothing to do with changes in the company, but every thing to do with investor confidence.DMXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107559793709195394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9317825.post-5312324732394107712008-11-11T08:03:00.000+03:002008-11-11T08:03:00.000+03:00Gregkarungo: i) one i've too much of a financial p...Gregkarungo: i) one i've too much of a financial portfolio ii) i believe there will be enough cheaper shares after listing iii) rule of IPO's<BR/><BR/>Pink M: didn't realsie it was that bad till i checked on Friday.
