Share Investor Portfolio: Value @ 17 June 2011

The Share Investor Portfolio was up in the third week of June, the first time after 3 consecutive weeks of falls. The portfolio was up by 0.81% or $2188.70 on the June 10 update . For the first 23 weeks of 2011 the portfolio has increased by 13.67 % or $34891.83 . This weeks rise was due, primarily, to a 16c rise in SKC because of the winning of a contract to build a National Convention Centre. There were a number of smaller falls in insubstantial portfolio stocks and larger drops in stocks like WHS and FRE that make up a larger proportion of the portfolio in an NZX 50 that was down for the week.

The total of unspent dividends and interest in the bank as at 26 May from the 2010 - 2011 earnings years is $25382.95 at close of reporting season for 2010 and at the end of the 2011 1st half reporting year. There are also approx $55000.00 in tax credits earned from the portfolio since it began in late 2002.

The Share Investor Portfolio has increased in value by 18.46% or $48649.08 since I began tracking it for this blog on October 11 2010

Share Price Alert: Xero Ltd 2



Xero Ltd [XRO.NZX] stock has taken a beating since its last Share Price Alert back in January. It was noticed back then because the share price had risen 40% in less than two months to trade at $2.91 on January 12 2011. This was an over-exuberance of buying from "insider" tech heads and nerds after a more pleasing 2011 half year result.

Since then though the share price has pulled back 71c to close at $2.20c or around 25% yesterday in a overall market that has gained around 15% since January.

As I said in January this share price could not be sustained but of course the big pull back in share price means the company looks more attractive to those who were looking at getting in.

You might expect a further pull-back as global markets look set for another down period on European debt woes so be patient if you are looking at adding this to your portfolio.

Look for support at around 2 bucks but patience will be the key to a relative bargain.

Share Price Alert: Pumpkin Patch Ltd 4



Since my last Share Price Alert on Pumpkin Patch Ltd [PPL.NZX] just a week ago at $1.15, PPL shares have sunk another another 13c or 15% to a current intra-day price of $1.03. shares are off a 52 week low of 98c yesterday after a company restructure and profit downgrade announced Wednesday.

PPL shares have lost approx 59c this year so far and since an April 2010 high of $2.30 they have shed more than 70% of their value.

This might present an opportunity to buy PPL on the cheapish side.

I would be patient though, because management don't seem very clear about the future of the company and its trading proposition over the calendar year and further pressure is likely to come over the rest of 2011-2012 as people close their wallets, head for cheaper less brand oriented fare and the company realises losses from the US store closures and a poor start to "winter" trading - a winter that hasn't arrived yet and will be severely impacting on margins.

This will not last however, PPL is a good brand and once the economy gets going again - whenever that is - we will see this company doing better as mums start to look for brands again.

A rider to this is the poor management of the company. It needs to be changed because of the poor performance of the company and bad decisions made over the last 5 years and if it does the company will clearly be better off without the weight.

Again, be very patient and look for further weakness to buy. This share has more downside to come.
