  2. Hello VP Sir,

    I have been investing in MNC's like Ingersoll Rand, Yuken India, Alstom Projects. What risks you think investing in MNC's like these have?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Two special risks are, possibility of floating direct subsidiaries of parent company and doing futuristic business through that subsidiary and another point is a possibility for higher royalty payment for using technology ,brand name ..etc.These are main risk not specific to the mentioned companies but applicable to all MNC's .

    1. Many good companies are available at attractive valuation mainly because of recessionary situation of that particular industry and not because of any specific issue to that particular company.In such a case investors should show enough patience till that sector came out of woods .Considering the challenging business environment prevailing in India ,we can't assume this will happen in short period like 3 or 6 months.What I mean is ,even a particular company is good we may get appreciation only when that sector gets a re rating.

  12. Hi Sir, also can you tell about this new IPO - Esteem Bio Organic Food processing Ltd...is it worthy enough for participation?

    ReplyDelete
  13. This same promoters came out with another IPO last month for Eco Friendly Food processing park Ltd which is also in the same business .When there is some improvement in market sentiment ,they are trying to collect money .I don't know why there is two companies for similar purpose and two IPO within two months.I don't like these type promoters.

  15. Sir,
    I am in dilemma regarding investment between MF and stocks. Earlier I used to invest in MF in SIPs, but now that I have started in stocks myself, I am not sure what should I invest in MFs. Earlier I used to do sip of 14k p.m. and rest in FD etc, but now I have started investing stocks and money seems less to me when investing in stocks, what should I do ? Should I stop some of my SIPs and invest that money in stocks? I have already reduced my FD amount.

    ReplyDelete

    1. SIP in good mutual funds will always win. You have to do the at least 5 years or more

  16. Dear Mr Chandra

    It is not an easy question to answer. It depends on your capacity to take risk,time available for collecting information,expected return ..etc.

    I have one small suggestion - never mix savings with investment .Everyone must keep some money for meeting emergencies irrespective of return from it.Whether breaking FD and investing that money in stock market is true or false depends on your over all financial positions and other liabilities which may arise in future.Anyway I will not support an idea to break entire FD and put that money in stocks ,especially at a time market ruling nearly its all time high levels. Opportunities are always in market but one should never driven by market sentiment. Never invest in stock market when we have money ,but invest when we have good opportunities to do that - means when valuations are attractive .Availability of time to learn more and patience are other major factors for success in stock market.

  18. Hello Sir
    Thanks for your valuable suggestions.
    Please comment on 5 stocks. All 5 are your earlier recommendations which are trading quite below then recommended price.
    Mangalam Cement, KSB Pumps, Godawari Power and Ispat, Career Point (Recommended at IPO at around 300 INR. Today it is trading around 150 INR.)
    Do you think, one should keep adding small amounts on dips.? Career point's valuations are quite attractive. Isnt it sir?

    Another stock which I always ask is Rossell India. I didnt sell it even on 55. Today it is at 45. Still a hold for you sir..?
    Thanks a lot:) Take Care.

    1. Not aware anything wrong for Mangalam Cement specifically.Whenever a foreign brokerage published a report saying that the Cement demand in near term may slow down due to cold weather condition in north , all cement cos corrected.Instead of running away ,investors stock take these type situations as an opportunity and look beyond few months.

    1. As you know, like the case of bank FD ,time period will not ensure higher return in stock market.Keep tracking the growth of Industry and specific company and then take decisions accordingly.If company is growing nothing wrong in holding the same for long term even the market mood is bad.

  36. Hello VP Sir,

    I have sent multiple mails but I guess you are answering way too many questions from different investors. What I wanted to know is with the current CMP, can I invest in Geometric, Canfin Homes and Jai Balaji? I am trying to focus for long term and hence I am targetting low CMP stocks. Please advice and hope to get a reply from you.

    Thanks and Regards
