Learning Series # Part 2 # Picking quality stocks # How Professionals Identify Potential Trade or Stock to trade, feel free to share your Thoughts and Inputs @ 99167-40909

Dear All,

In my last post I had discussed some of the detailed step by step process of selecting a quality stock,
Here I am presenting one more quick method of selecting a potential quality or momentum stock - 

Here we go !!

For this method we should have patience and we wait for a day when market falls abnormally, the reason is irrelevant {it may be elections :-) , cross border war, currency war anything}

1. Step 1 - After the market is closed, lets look for stocks which have closed 
                  -  (i)  in the positive
                  -  (ii) or Stocks that have made a new life time high or 52 week high

So the Idea is to select in the stocks which have strength and stand like a Wall against any bad news and they not only stay at same price but 
                  - (i)  will also close in the green that means investors are trying to use this opportunity to                             grab more shares from the market at these levels
                 -  (ii) They also make a new life time high or a 52 week high

2.  Hence end of the day after market is closed I see my existing portfolio to the analyze the strength        of my holdings .i.e is how many closed in the green or positive. Generally these are the stocks             which will lead your portfolio
  
3.  To include a new stock in my portfolio, I am interested in 2nd option that is -  (ii) Stocks that have       made a new life time high or 52 week high. 

      Why because these are stocks which are ready to make fresh highs and large money is trying to           chase this stock even at these levels, sensing there is still a lot of value left in this stock

So once you have identified stocks which have made new life time highs or 52 week high, Do your own fundamental analysis on these stocks and if you feel there is a value at the current price just go for it, keeping your risk and reward in mind 

4.  So lots of theory, lets do it practically, 
     Go to NSE website search for 52 week high stock  - so I found below list of stocks making 52              week high (excluded from the list is ETF ) - 

Security New 52W/H Prev. High Prev. High Date LTP Prev. Close Chng % Chng
Accelya Kale Solutions Limited 1,575.00 1,478.00 21-Sep-16 1,465.00 1360.2 104.8 7.7
Delta Magnets Limited 40 38.55 7-Nov-16 40 38.55 1.45 3.76
Gujarat Industries Power Company Limited 105.5 103 1-Nov-16 103.75 98.9 4.85 4.9
Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited 829.4 826 30-Oct-16 822.1 811.8 10.3 1.27
Servalakshmi Paper Limited 4.6 4.4 8-Nov-16 4.2 4.4 -0.2 -4.55
Shreyans Industries Limited 103.55 92.9 3-Nov-16 103.4 86.5 16.9 19.54
SREI Infrastructure Finance Limited 91 90.2 8-Nov-16 86 87.2 -1.2 -1.38
Swan Energy Limited 130.6 128.4 8-Nov-16 128.75 113.1 15.65 13.84
VAKRANGEE LIMITED 262 261.7 8-Nov-16 260.1 260.75 -0.65 -0.25

After doing all my analysis, I zeroed into Shreyans Industries, buy around  Rs 103 Rs to 105 Rs-
Where I feel risk reward will be favorable, hence I will allocate small capital to this stock with a stop loss of previous days close i.e. 86.5 Rs

Target should be some where around 130 to 150 Rs. Risk reward of 1:3

[profit-tantra] Stock market Red Flags ! (Series-1)

Must read..
Dear All,
...
To create awareness among investors, I am starting series of mail, to bring awareness in investment community at large to be aware of red flags while investing in any company.
Hope investors will consider these points before investing. I have named this Educational Series as "Stock Market Red Flags"

Today we will be discussing two stocks which I feel is a risky bet in terms of investments based on there current business...

Stock 1 : Quick Heal (There will be no quick healing for investors :-) )


1. Opening day price action, IPO price was 321, closed at 273 on the day of listing down 14%
2. Again price has come back to same levels, any one who is stuck can still get out of the stock
3. Company's product - antivirus software is a low margin product, in a highly competitive industry
4. 49 crores was paid as dividend just before IPO,The purpose of bringing IPO is to do expansion with the money  received through IPO, than why such a huge dividend is paid to the promoters,

A clear case of filling the pocket at the cost of share holders, a big red flag !

Since IPO is brought to fund future growth and exit of the equity investor, but in either case if money is minted through dividends before IPO its a red flag

Stock 2 : InfiBeam - E-commerce player

1. Generally I prefer to invest in stocks related to those industries which are doing good.
2. As we know these E commerce players are incurring heavy losses due to competition, discounts and heavy advertisement expenditure
Hence we should stay away from a stock which is
- facing intense competition from new players,
- loss making margin's
- the business can be started with much ease, unlike a manufacturing plant which will take a long gestation period to start production,
need to take environmental clearance, acquire land and many more compliance to be followed.

- Hence entry of new players is very often, recently we have Shop clues, Koovs.com, Rocknshop.com etc, also Chinese Alibaba pro actively is buying stakes in e-commerce companies. Small players will not be able stand in front of there deep pockets.

Infibeam is exposed to all such risk and is loss making like it counterparts... Hence ask yourself due want to put your money in loss making company with the risk mentioned above...Though the price has gone up after the IPO, hence just get out and put your hard earned money in certain stocks... with good profitability or some turnaround story's with good management.
Please find attached charts of Quick Heal and Infibeam ! along with summary of losses e-commerce company's have incurred.

Conclusion : Stay away from both the stock based on the reason stated above and put your money in some good companies
.
Disclaimer : I don't have vested interest in any of the companies discussed, above is pure my personal opinion.

Use your own judgment for buying or holding the stock.

Best Investment Strategy in Current Stock Market volatility, Also find out is SIP the best tool for investment in current scenario

Link of post in Google Groups click here

Dear All,

Please find a note below on current market volatility and what can be done as an individual investor in current scenario.
I am addressing some common questions which every investor has in his mind in current scenario.

Que 1 : Can markets fall further, experts say India's fundamentals are strong it will not fall, what should we do?
 Ans   :  The answer is no one knows it may go up or it may go down :-),  
                but if country like China is falling which contributes 13% to world's GDP next to United States, its time to be cautious.
                {Please check excel sheet attached (world bank data) GDP growth country wise }




                Hence if it goes down mutual fund investors who are doing SIP are the biggest beneficiary of accumulating more units at lower levels.
                Those who are still sitting on the sidelines to invest, this is a good opportunity to start, reason been what happened in 2008, 
                 SIP Investors made good money, see details below :
                
                As it happened between Jan 2008 to Oct 2010, investors who started SIP at the peak of market fall and continued till 
                market reaching same level, got an average return of 29.21% for reference please see chart attached from 2008 till 2010, 
               and actual returns from a diversified fund Birla Sunlife top 100 fund growth  


                
                Please note :  Don't do lump sum investment which we never suggest to our clients reason is, imagine investor who has done a lump sum
                                          investment in 2008 peak, he will have no returns till 2010, where as SIP investor made 29% CAGR return.
                                     
                                           Hence plan your tax saving investment also in advance by bifurcating in equal installments, 
                                            year end lump sum investment is not suggested.

 Que 2 : Many investors are getting lured towards Real estate funds and infrastructure funds as they have fallen a lot, you often see 
                stock market Guru's talking about India's Infrastructure growth and opportunity  and there by suggesting these stocks and mutual funds ?

 Ans  :  Please consider points below why its not advisable to invest in infrastructure fund or real estate fund
               1. Thin Profit Margin and 
                   Net margin of infrastructure companies are between 4% to 7%, 
               2. Competitive bidding 
                    Projects are allotted through competitive bidding where each company tries to quote lower to get the project
                     and there by compromising on margins

               3. Long gestation period
                    Projects years to complete there by making them vulnerable to losses in future in case any of their projections 
                    go wrong while implementing the project    
                     
               4. The only beneficiary in infrastructure space is cement sector, healthy margins and basic component for any project
                    to be implemented. 

                     With good capacity available with cement  companies to ramp-up production  in case of any increase in demand 
                      without increase in capital expenditure to increase the production

Ignorance may be bliss, but it certainly is not freedom, except in the minds of those who prefer darkness to light and chains to liberty. The more true information we can acquire, the better for our enfranchisement.
