StockFundoo Dark Horse Portfolio!


A dark horse is a little-known horse (or a stock for our purpose) that emerges to victory in-spite of the fact that not many players knew about the horse and were skeptical about its prospects earlier.

In today's market situation where most of the focus is on Nifty 50 and Top 30 Sensex stocks, there is very little research focus on companies which are small-caps or micro-caps, but have unique dominant position in their own sector.

Also, there are some companies, which used to be very successful but have fallen into temporary issues. Due to which they have been severely punished and their stock price has crashed to 90% or lower. Issues like government pricing policy in sugar space, high interest rates in Infra space, some of which will get resolved as the year 2013 passes by.

In StockFundoo Dark Horse Portfolio, we will look at such firms every week and will highlight their strong and weak points.
