May 19th 2007 04:44
As the market ended the week weaker with the ASX S&P 200 benchmark index closing 53.4 points lower to 6321.5 points, the Portfolio 1.5-EW*, formed in August 2008, closed off the week with a return of 103.77% (before costs).

The following table speaks further;




In comparison, the performance with that of the ASX S&P 200 benchmark which to date, since August 2008, only made a return of 24%.

Simply a beauty.

Did anyone bought the shares in the portfolio?

Portfolio 1.5-EW nearing 100% return!

May 7th 2007 23:00
Portfolio 1.5-EW*, formed in August last year, to date has a made a return of 91.29%, in just last than a year. Its performance defied its use-by date in what was thought that its peak was reached at the end of last year. The portfolio formed using the "fundamental technicality" factor could be argued as a runaway success.

Casual observation would reveal that the portfolio outperformed the benchmark, especially ASX S&P 200.

Update: Down again

January 8th 2007 08:19
Are we seeing a correction in the market, on its way to reflect values closer to the fundamentals? Perhaps, as the market went south for the fourth day.

The ASX S&P 200 benchmark index shed 1.7% or 70 points to a closing of 5,502 points. The resources stocks dragged the market down on the back of continuing softening of commodity prices. Traditional defensive stocks were not able to sustain the negative momentum as sell down of resource stocks gained grounds.

Portfolio 1.5 - EW* took another plunge further today. It underperformed the market by 0.19% or a suffered a fall of -1.49% to a closing return level of 33.65%.

As of today, all porfolios shown on the Portal will use a new format which includes stock profiles such as P/E ratio, Market Capitalisation, Percentage changed and Dividend Payable Date. The new features could help in identifying the various crucial factors affecting share prices.



The gainers are in yellow.

Closing value of the portfolio stands at $56,289 while after-cost profits closed $630 lower to $13,242. The biggest gainer to date, in terms of percentage, is MRA with 97.12%.

Moving away from the update, the Portal has completed forming a new portfolio consisting of 35 stocks, based on the same factor, "fundamental technicality", used by Portfolio 1.5 - EW. Howerver, the new Portfolio 701 was formed on a more concrete basis as positive momentum from mid-November to the closing of 2006, was taken into account.

Stay tune as the new list of stocks will be posted up shortly.

Update: First gravity

January 6th 2007 12:30
What goes up must come down and the gravity was applied to the market for the first time in 2007 on Thursday. By Friday, the 5th of January, 2007, the ASX S&P 200 benchmark index closed 12.8 points lower to 5572.0 points. An unusual display of southward heading of oil price, metal price and gold price caused the local resource sector to drag down the market. Weak leads from across the US added the negativities further.

The negatives did not just hit the market alone. From a high of 40.58% or $59,208 recorded on the first Tuesday of the year, Benkaiser.NET Investment Portal's Portfolio 1.5 - EW* took a plunge of 5.44% since then as data from Friday closing shows. The returns from the portfolio dropped 1.11% from Thursday's 36.25% to 35.14% on Friday.

Update: Flat but a good start

January 2nd 2007 10:03
The local market marked the first trading day of 2007 with an expected flat trading session but managed to end the day marginally higher.

ASX S&P 200 benchmark index climbed a marginal 0.01% or just 0.3 points to a closing of 5,670.2 points. As forecasted, 2007 would see a continuing bull market but returns would be lower than last year. After a series of major gains, consolidation is expected that would reflect the fundamentals in a moderate setting.

The Year End Bonus

December 28th 2006 07:14
Despite relatively low trading volumes the market managed to pull some punches for the past two post Christmas trading days in a run up to a conclusion of 2006. The Aussie market opened for trading after Boxing Day and posted a gain of 39.5 points to 5643.2 for the ASX S&P 200 benchmark index, eventhough trading volume was mundane for the most of Wednesday's afternoon. The run-up momentum continued as Thursday's closing for the benchmark index stands at 5660.5 points, an up of 17.3 points or 0.3% higher, boosted by the miners. It is expected that the market will conclude 2006 tomorrow on a higher note as the positive momentum continue its ride. The share market session will close at 2pm on Friday, 29th December, 2006.

Benkaiser.NET Investment Portal's set of stocks, the Portfolio 1.5 - EW*, formulated in August, 2006, received a late X'mas gift as it had created another record, the best so far, with the portfolio having finally broke the 40% return barrier today, as was expected earlier. It closed 0.58% higher to 40.16% from the 39.57% recorded on Wednesday. Total value of the portfolio now stands at $59,032 and profits, after deducting first round of transaction costs, closed at $15,985.

Update: Rather Colourless

December 21st 2006 11:41
The update for Portfolio 1.5 - EW* is back from a hiatus, before X'mas sweeps the town.The past nine trading days saw the portfolio performing a volatile course with its profits reaching as low as $14,070 on 14/12 and a top of 15,829 the next day. Indeed a roller coaster ride. Nevertheless post 15/12 saw the portfolio maintaining the profits above 15th hundreds.

Update: A step forward and then backwards

December 7th 2006 11:48
The miners were both the angels and devils for the past two trading days. Mining heavyweights such as BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto lead the market on Wednesday, buoyed by positive metal prices, as displayed by a 40.2 points surge on the ASX S&P 200 benchmark index. The Wednesday darlings however were shortlived as the miners dragged the index down to a closing of 1.5 points lower to 5465.2 points, as overnight metal prices plummented, however the southward heading market was halted by a relatively strong banking sector in an otherwise flat trading day, in anticipation of Christmas.

The hope of Benkaiser.NET Investment Portal's own Portfolio 1.5 - EW* reaching the 40% return mark was dashed as it experienced two days of negative closings with a total lost of $752 of after cost profits. Tuesday saw the portfolio peaked at a close of 39.8% while Thursday's closed the portfolio returns at 37.87%, 1.33% lower than Wednesday's 39.2%.Total portfolio value of the portfolio stands at $58,065 and profits, after first round of transaction costs, closed at $15,081.

Update: Pushing the record

December 5th 2006 13:49
The past two days have been a roller coaster ride for the market as the ASX S&P 200 benchmark index shaved 3 points on Monday and then regained 1.6 points higher on Tuesday closing to 5426.5 points, pushed by the resource and media stocks. But it was not so for the Benkaiser.NET Investment Portal's very own portfolio.

In contrast, the Portfolio 1.5 - EW*, formed in August based on a "fundemental technicality" factor, conditioned on market capitilisation and volume traded, climbed up for two consecutive days. As of Tuesday's closing, the portfolio return stands at 39.8%, 0.2% shy away from the 40% level mark, or 1.67% from Monday's closing of 38.13%. It rose a total of 5.38% since Friday.

Update: Portfolio Up, Market Down

December 2nd 2006 04:38
The market ended the week with surprise and dismays to many as the ASX S&P 200 benchmark index slided 54.2 points lower to 5427.9 points on the first day of December, 2006. This was despite a positive lead from Wall Street and relatively strong resource prices overnight. Banks of the big four lead the slide as profit taking took place after strong gains made in the sector previously.

While the market fell to negative territory, Portfolio 1.5 - EW* went the opposite and continued its upside run. It closed 1.82% higher to a return of 37.42%, just 2.8% from the 40% mark. Total value of the portfolio stands at $57,876 and after cost profits rose $766 to $14,829.
