Exemplary Stock Investment Goals

Earlier posts on this web-log have considered Environment Scanning and Goal Setting as the first two steps towards crafting business strategy. The purpose is to build better stock portfolios, though techniques from the Business Management world are deployed on this web log.

Here are some typical stock investment goals. Please see earlier posts on this web log for a flavor of the thinking that has guided the following goal drafting; the goals are written in descending order of importance:

1. Limit worst-case-scenario losses to not more than 10% of capital over the course of a year.

2. Aim for 25% consolidated returns on investments every year.

3. Limit futures and options to booked profits only: do not use original capital for derivatives.

4. Exit the Investment Services Industry of the United States by December 2008.

5. Move 25% of the May 2008 market capitalization of the portfolio to BRIC countries by the end of September 2008.

Tomorrow's post will dwell on how to craft strategy so that goals are reached as quickly, reliably, and economically as possible.
