  3. Dear ValuePick,

    What is the average PE for the auto ancillary industry? I checked the BSE website but it listed Bosch and a couple of other companies that I am not sure can be used as the benchmarks.

    Thanks,
    RN

  5. Tasty Bite: depends on results of Q4, now huge loss (PP: 149)
    Aries Agro: No takers (PP: 98)
    Claris Life: Back to Square One (PP: 190)
    NBCC: Not moving (PP: 96)


    This is the plight of my portfolio :(
    I bought all of them, on or below your recommendation price (PP: Purchase Price). Please advice.

    1. It seems your are selecting some stocks from the whole lot just for criticizing my postings.I have recommended Tasty Bite on February 27,2010 @Rs.165.Thereafter in 6 months ,ie, in July , It hits a high of Rs 346/-. This means an appreciation of more than 100% in just 4 months.I have never recommended it as a BUY after 4th quarter result of this FY as mentioned by you.

      In the case of Aries Agro - even if it once touched Rs.206 after my first recommendation @ Rs.100/-I have recommended it later at higher level and it is really an under performing case.

      Claris recommended in this month @ Rs.158 and now trading @ 187/- ( last year claris mentioned to points out the importance of management quality in getting higher valuations)

      NBCC - Recommended only last week ,don't consider it as a place providing 'Tips'.This is just meant for only investors who are willing to do some homework

      May consider Srinivasa,In the case of your suggestion ,it is practically very difficult due to time constraint .I am expecting follow ups and some homework from your side too while taking decisions on my past recommendations.If you have any query on a specific company in this matter just mail to me.

  17. Hi,
    I also entered the couner when it was recommended here and made a profit of 25000/- in a span of one month. And reentered the same at rs 120, but did not feel comfortable with the co, immediately came out by booking loss of 15000/-. I am simply sharing personal view only. Regards Rama Mohana rao

  18. Dear Value pick Sir,
    Nitta was another great pick.
    Bharat Gear-this is the only stock which has fallen post your recommendation ( may be due to the recent market churn).

    Would you suggest remaining invested in Bharat gears ?
    Also for Schneider, can I make fresh positions now?

    Please advise ...
