I thought it might be interesting to invite fellow stockopedes to tell each other about their real life portfolios. Such disclosures should as a minimum list the companies held. Preferably the relative weightings also. But nothing so vulgar as absolute values, please.
If you have time to explain your reasons for making individual stock selections that would be very much appreciated, but you shouldn't hold back just because you don't have time to include that level of detail. You can always add in detail and texture later.......

I follow a simple rule, avoid most of the small caps. IMO that is the area where you get loads of liars and cheats. Directors that will talk up their share prices to get the price racing away only to dilute shareholders with endless placings.
I do not hold any small caps at all in my portfolio, infact everything I hold at the moment I regard as low risk & cheap.
But this is because I think the markets are in a dangerous period & I expect to see significant volatility over the next two months.
Once October is out of the way and markets have dropped significantly from here I will look to add more risky shares that are actually less risky with lower share prices then current levels.
Right now I am looking & waiting to take a short on the FTSE, my target is between the 5450-5600 range, hopefully we will see these numbers in the coming weeks.
