DEBT of a company:

5 GOLDEN RULES FOR HIGH RETURN GOOD STOCK SELECTION IN PORTFOLIO.

Below are the 5 golden rules, which every investor can follow to create a high-return good stock portfolio in your Demat account. These rules are very generic and easy to follow.

Rule 1: Invest in a businesses domain that you understand:

We can see thousands of different companies that have a very high rate of growth and many people buy stock of it. But if you don’t know the business of these companies, it is ideal to stay away from it. Follow are the things that you can consider during identifying high-return good stocks.

• Some are well-known companies, whose products, and services, which we are regularly consuming. In these companies, we can invest as we are also a customer for them and we know, how valuable their products are.

• There are some companies engaged in a business where we have average understanding through our domain of expertise, personal interest, etc. In these companies, we can invest, as we have knowledge on, how these industries are performing and future scope, even if we are not using any products or services of these companies.

Always try to select a stock in either one of the above categories.

Rule 2: Invest in Companies that dominate in respective Industries

If you check the portfolios of most performing mutual funds, some companies we can see in common, which are from different domains, this is because these companies are dominating in their respective industries and these companies will be high-return good stocks.

• These high-performing companies have a track record of doing business in their respective domain consistently in the past and because of it, these companies will continue their excellent success.
• Products of these companies are well known to the customers, hence the chance of getting repeat business for these companies is much more than the other companies in the respective domain.

Even though there is no guarantee that going forward these companies will continue to dominate. But the chance is more due to their current capital and know-how to develop more winning products and services and moreover their current customer base.

Rule 3. Diversification:-Don’t Invest all you have in one or Two Sectors.

Even though the rule of diversification is against the previous recommendation to invest in industries that you understand, it must follow.

• Diversification in your portfolio is important, because, if we invest all we have in a very small number of industries, there will be a chance, everything we may lose over the night, even if we are very strong in that industry.
• Diversification helps us to invest in different high-return good stocks.

If you plan to hold about 8 different stocks, it is ideal to diversify your investment among 4 or 5 different industries. 2 to 3 stocks you can buy from the industry in which you are most aware and the remaining stocks of the market leaders of the remaining industries. Even if how confident you are in a particular industry, it is ideal to invest only less than 40% in a single industry.

As we cannot predict, the performance of any specific stock or industry, even while the market is flourishing, it is ideal to diversify your funds among different industries and stocks in an industry.

Rule 4. Buy Stocks with a Solid Track Record

It will be ideal if we can buy penny stocks which can become multi-bagger stocks in few months, but it will remain a very ideal condition to workout, the chance of penny stock to grow faster than a proven track record stock is lesser.

• The “Thumb rule in the stock market” of making money is not to lose any. The chance of negative outcomes for any unproven company that’s relatively new is more than a well-established proven stock.

If a company has a steady track record of increasing both profit and revenues on a consistent basis, it will have more chances to continue it. Hence these are high-return good stocks and it is ideal to invest in these proven companies than in a new company, to get a higher guarantee of return over a long time.

Rule 5. Invest in companies with good Dividends payouts.

A company that pays dividends regularly to the investors is consistent as a healthy company and its stock as high-return good stocks. Dividends are a form of regular income for the investors, in addition to the capital gain which they can get during the selling of the stocks.

• Dividend payout represents the return of a portion of a profit of a company to investors.

In general, the companies, who can provide the dividend regularly to the investors, able to continue the operations, and expand the business, even after returning some portion of the profits. Hence these companies will have a higher chance of growth and stock value appreciation.

It is ideal to invest our major portion in “dividend growth stocks,” to make an optimal combination in our portfolio.
