COMMENTARYThe first four months of 2011 have seen the NSE 20 share index go down by 9.1% (Compared with my marginal gain of 2.85%).
The market seems to have found some base at the 4,000 NSE level. It will be interesting to see which direction wether North or South it follows from here.
With 1st Quarter results starting to trickle in, positive bank results may tilt the push Northwards.
My current share portfolio has preserved my capital well but i will soon be reassessing it to capitalise on any emerging opportunities and/or utilising the cash available.
Happy hunting.
