March 2017- A bad month


Hi all, it is time for monthly reporting. This was the first full month with the blog and let say, not a good month. Some overrated stocks dropped to correct levels and I made a bad investment what comes to Fingerprint.

The portfolio grew in €’s was around +2,5%, but I acquired 22 Konecranes stocks and lost around 200€ with fingerprint, so total gain was around -4,2%. So, a bad month overall.  But, this is investing and sometimes the stocks goes up and sometimes those go down.



TOPS:

  • Albemarle; solid month. Betting high on lithium.
  • Intrum Justitia; nice, steady growth.
  • Dividends from Nordea, Verkkokauppa and Hoivatilat



FLOPS:

  • Case Fingerprint, no more to say, please check my post from few weeks ago.
  • Some price pressure of salmon. It has had negative impact to all salmon stocks. Maybe good time to add few shares of Austevoll.
  • Norwegian Finans; regulation rules from the Norwegian government, but in the end, these should be good news for NOFI, waiting stock to get back on it’s track. Hopefully after Q1 result.



LOOKING FORWARD:


I will decrease the number of Konecranes stocks at some point. I have read a few books about investing during this month and I think I need to modify my portfolio strategy, and this will not happen fast. I would guess that next picks will be some non-cyclical companies.
