Your top 3 holdings and why you hold them

Hi.

Question for you guys that are holding banks.

Is the threat of a potential property market collapse worrying, or do you think our banks are well enough capitalized to take such a beating if it were to occur ?

ANZ 34.90%
BHP 26.80%
FMG 13.29%

ANZ & BHP bought at the right time FMG bought at wrong time, trying to average out, oh so close...

apologies... this is why.

ANZ - Was looking for a bank stock and chose ANZ, I like the expansion into Asia and China as potential.

BHP - Looking for solid mining stock, everyone has BHP so jumped on board.

FMG - Had a moment where I lost all logic and got caught up in the hype, now trying to average out my loss - close to it.

I am still building my base portfolio which is a very long term view only, I am still looking at more retail, health and IT for this year to help balance my potfolio out.

They will do ok, you cant just walk out on a house in Australia and hand the keys back to the bank, they will chase every cent they are owed even if it takes them years.
 
MDX - 93%. Promising Iron Ore, Uranium and Gold projects. Top 20 hold over 80% of stock. Have made solid gains so far but think there is still good upside if they achieve their exploration targets.

RHM - 6%. Spec holding for nearology to Sandfire's DeGrussa discovery. Low Market Cap and low number of shares on issue, undervalued on peer comparison and two promising projects.

FWL - 1%. Held for a while. Promising MPI project but out of cash to advance the project. Waiting on a JV to provide funds. Probably should have sold out quite a while ago as I have lost quite a bit on it but still holding in hope as i only have a small parcel.
 
G'day to all my Top 3 in my SMSF -

SMR Stanmore Coal 21%, held since the float and accumulated since. SMR are up approximately 175% from my average cost. SMR have some great coal leases in the middle of the Bowen Basin, right next door / adjacent to rail and infrastructure. A tightly held stock with potential similar to AQA ( IMHO )

ADI Adelphi Energy 17.7%. I have held for what seems an eternity. Their new Farmin partner Hilcorp Energy is the 3-4th largest Privately owned O&G Exploration and Production Company ( In the U.S.) ADI have copped a hiding during the GFC but should come out the other side with success in their current and proposed horizontal well and fraccing program.

VPE Victoria Petroleum 14.3%. VPE have a CSG lease in a very prospective sweet spot surrounded by some Major O&G Companies. If they find the right amount of CSG, they could be looked at very seriously by their neighbours
(IMHO)

As you can see I like the Energy Companies!

just saw the thread... 16% MCC... at avg 3.90, cant go past a great coal company, was only buying them in the downturn , bit toppy right about now but still has massive growth in a 2-5year term with coking coal at ove 2oo/t. 14% PNA... at avg .28 for exposure to copper and gold, now they also have their toes in chile with a partnership with the largest of all coldeco. 11% AOE... at avg 2.35 im totally bullish on cbm and lng and am very dissapointed we might lose another great growth story but i will sell at the right price. also hold RIO 10%,BOW 8%,MQG 6%, AQA 6%, FMG 5%,GMG 5%,GPT 5% PDN 4% PLUS few specs WDR,HUN,CWK,FAR,MAU,GBZ making up the rest % YES i have a very aggresive resource portfolio and it is suited for growth. So far this year im up a massive 340% and have only taken partial profits so im 85% in the market and 15% cash.

I have absolutely no fear in holding any of the big 4 banks in Australia. They have survived far far worse than this crisis including The Great Depression and the 1987 stock market crash. I might add that when they were raising capital last year I bought as much as I could and at half the prices that they are at now.
 
these are percentage values and not quantity of holdings.. (just going off comsec pie chart)

37% IRD - Not really sure why i bought them, Comsec had a float going a while back when i started investing and i just threw them on my watch list. and kept watching for a very long time..they went down alot but seemed promising so i bought in just as they were on their way up. best move i have made so far besides buying into Aristocrat when they crashed and selling @ $9

36% AGI - I bought into this one thinking it would eventually come good, Owned by Lenny Ainsworth (Aristocrat founder), really waiting for it to pick up a little to flog it off now, it doesnt perform good at all. i am down a bit on it. Tho they have a pretty good Management team, and are finally producing games that are working. however nothing in the gaming industry is really going well at the moment. but it has some potential.

13% KRL - After doing some research it seemed like a good one to buy at the time, i jumped on at a low before they were producing coal and exporting it to china. was using this really just to bank some money so i didnt spend it while on a holiday.

CNP also held along with AAM which i will be boosting soon if i get some good news with them

If property collapses than the govt/RBA will have to resuce the banks as happened in US. At the earliest sign of trouble last time they let BankWest & St George be taken over & implemented a deposit guarantee and property didn't even fall.
 
JBH 19 % - Great ROE just keeps on growing, hoping for 15-16% compounded growth over the next couple of years

WOW 11.5% - What can I say bought them recently when everyone was raving about WES up 8% in 2 months, great potentual for future dividends and growth cant see any reason not to hold for a loooong time

GOW 10.5% - Have outperformed the ASX 200 Accumulation index over the last 20 years, currently SP at approx 20% to NTA

Started investing mid January this year, have made some mistakes but I am pretty happy with these.
 
OST 14% growth in 1 year 58%
BKN 13% growth in 1 year 51%
ARG 15% growth of 37% since I've owned it. The first stock I bought as a means of diversification.

Yes, but why do you continue to hold and why did you choose to hold 12 months ago before the price growth you mention? Some kind of explanation of your fundamental reasons for holding these stocks would be appreciated.
 
Bought Argo shares some years ago for my daughters 21st. Then bought some for myself, reinvest the dividend. 4%+ yield fully franked makes them a "safe" investment.
Bradken was a $15 share that fell to 0.93c during GFC. Was a spec buy, assum ed (hoped) that value would rise. Once it did I bought in, they continued to rise so I bought more. Currently $7.84.
Onesteel. Similar story, a good company sold down during GFC. Opportunity to buy when the price was low. Considered BSL but thought that OST offered greater diversification as it has its own iron ore mines, processing plants and recycling business.
I am a long term investor so I look for a combination of growth and income. All three give me income which I reinvest and 2 off 3 give me growth.
 
50% ADI
50% CTPO

ADI held cause i believe the storey is getting better and presently sounds better than it did when the stock was $1+ , I see alot of upside on it and have bought up until it equals 50% of my portfolio.. somewhat also a result of CTPO dropping by about 40% .. CTPO held for max exposure to CTP.. 2014 expiry is very positive.. CTP drilling underway .. If a coal seam gas reasource can be proved in the Northern Territory where CTP own huge amounts of land then its going to boom.. if not csg then the share price will continue to stagnate.. I have faith I the boss and his experience..
 
TZL - Thousands of applications at a lowly million dollars each in revenue = $1b+ pa in revenue = At least 50x current share price. Example of applications selling at the moment are the Dell Adamo XPS latching mechanism and the Anixter distributor deal for intelligent datacenter cabinet locks.

I hold no other stocks.
 
BRM - Have held it for years since it was the little speccy YML, slowly accumulating more and more over the years. Has always had solid fundamentals and as time has gone it, it has been very derisked. Only really 1 more major thing to sort out (rail infrastructure) and this is a done deal. On that basis they should hopefully be up and mining by 2012/2013 at which point I would hope their market cap is many times what it currently is ($500m)

RHM - Pure speculation on nearology to SFR and because of their newly acquired interests in an existing iron ore mine in the US. At 5$m market cap these guys have a hell of a lot of upside and very little downside. If they can prove any sort of existing copper/gold resource at Narracoota, the SP will go many times over; if they can fast track the US iron ore project (Beuna Vista) to production, their market cap will also go many times over. So in short, no fundamentals at the moment, just a lot of speculation & a reasonable chance of success. The upside greatly outweighs the downside.
 
Top 3 - argo, afic and index fund

Why? i was a know-nothing investor when i started.. and after reading/learning/listening up on investing literature in the past 10 years, sad to admit that i'm likely a know-nothing investor still..
 

Re GOW -- had never heard of it and it seems at a low point. Any thoughts as to why?
Regards
Rick

I've only just discovered GOW to..i think that all that cash there sitting on could be seen as a negative, like cos its not out there making money, also the fact that there buying a bit of property could be seen as a negative.

I really like GOW at the current SP.
 
good thread people keep them coming.

my three holdings:
ANZ
MTS
QBE

all solid companies... have made a packet on ANZ since picking them up.
