  4. superb analysis Value Pick, hats off to you.

    Please your views of BS Transcomm, I have purchased the share around 160/- and now it is trading around 80/-, Please provide your views on why the script price is coming down, is something wrong with the company fundamentals, is it advisable to book loss? or average it now or wait further for price correction?

    Also it would be great if we Retail investor get some kind of education is stock market investing.

    Once again thanks a lot for your wonderful analysis and helping small investor like me.

    Best Regards

  5. I too surprised on the movement of BS transcomm. I think it is because of the reasons beyond the fundamentals or the business of the company.If you are ready to wait and willing to take risk better to wait - accepting risk is there

  6. Camlin Fine Chem is an excellent company and company increaed the Div from 10 to 20%.

    Based on what company gave FY12 guidance, it seems cheap and can give good benefit in a years time.

  11. It was good to read about an undervalued stock. Truly the tip yielded good return, almost 80% in three months.

    Can valuepick throw some light on Geodesic Limited. I am invested in it @Rs 130. Seems to me a good company, profit rising continuously year after year but price showing opposite movement (dipping south). Please advice. Thank you in advance.

    1. When I recommended it @ Rs.56 its FV was 10 and now it divided into 2 which means 1 share is equal to 5 shares now.
