This is part II of the article DCF Analysis continued – I. Please read the article from the first part before continuing with this one

Now, let’s be a bit more practical. All your investments can never be positive. Hence, let’s introduce some negative returns also, but ONLY in 2 of the stocks.

As you can observe, the two stocks Microsoft and Google are now having negative returns -EVERYTHING else is exactly the same. For Microsoft and Google as well, the returns are negative to the same extent – only the sign is changed from positive to negative (as can be seen from the table below):

Hence, in conclusion:

When the returns are negative even with one or two stocks, the overall profit percentage goes down. We see that the annualized DCF profit percentage has come down to -5.41%. This means that your highly diversified portfolio has performed worse than the risk free bank accounts. If the bank account offered 9% return, your diversified portfolio has offered you only (9% - 5.41% = 3.59% only). If such is the case, then you are better off investing in bank accounts and savings accounts, instead of creating a diversified portfolio of stocks.
