Today marks exactly 2 years since i first purchased stocks on the Mauritian stock market.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yeah. I bought 100 shares of MCB. But then the prices dropped after that so I purchased more and more as I gained more confidence. \"\"<\/p>\n

I regret to not having bought more of the stocks at those cheap prices but anyways. It’s good that I started. I invested in 11 companies since then.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So how is my return today, after exactly 2 years you ask?<\/p>\n

Well well well, I made some substantial loss of around Rs 40k with 4 stocks (18k + 19k + 0.5k + 2k). But these are just paper losses as I haven’t really sold them since I bought (unrealised loss). But on the the rest of my stocks, I made some quite some money; again just paper gains as I haven’t sold them for a profit. I did receive like some 60k of dividends throughout these years.<\/p>\n

How much did I lose as compared to the US Dollar? On 18th May 2021, USD was Rs 39.45. Today is it 45.50. That’s about 15% loss in purchasing power.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But my portfolio grew about 10% in these 2 years. Therefore my purchasing power compared to USD was around -5%.<\/p>\n

If I would have just bought USD in May 2021, It would have been more profitable. But anyways, I think I’m kinda satisfied with my portfolio. It’s quite liquid and gives dividends. My Compound annual growth rate (CAGR)\u00a0 is 4.88% currently which is slightly above what banks would give as interest on fixed deposit. Fixed deposits don’t go down in value though.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yeah. Sometimes the stock value goes down and you’re like wondering is it transitory or something really bad happened. But as I said, I did lose substantially with some stocks. I also made the mistake of listening to some of my friends instead of just trusting my guts and my analysis. Fortunately my main stocks are covering my losses.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed reading my experience. Have a great day or night wherever you are \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
