Technically i am seeing a up tick not sure how big first level 170 then 179 and then 186.... Also if you at the data i see lot of delivery based buying in this counter. most important friday carnage or rampage the stock was strong moved only sideline so did not fall much in the Friday rampage even today when market was flying the stock did not fly what it means some strong hand is cornering the stock which will give a solid base building my sense is that big uptick move after staying at these level..
I also agree with Septa. Looking at the situation at present it seems that the PCL is for long term players, but none the less it will give a good profits. I am also holding it for mid to long term . Bought some more after the price came down and holding it at present with an avg price of 175.
Dear Ou Ai, thanks for your posts. Appreciate every bit..What you mention is indeed a well accepted method used especially by MFs. What I would like to add is that it may not be the ''optimum'' method given the present scenario. Allow me to explain:Bank''s health is a very important proxy for our economy''s health given their role of credit creation. RBI has asked Banks to clean up their B/S by March17. SBI always sets its own targets ahead of RBI deadlines as it takes the moral responsibility of leading the PSU bank space. I''m expecting SBI to fully provision its bad debt latest by Dec16 (could be early). Similarly, other PSU banks. Pvt banks (ICICI) may accomplish this even sooner. Only when this deleveraging is complete, and a fresh debt cycle starts, would we be finally ready to take-off. Any rally in the meantime is not sustainable (or at least is highly volatile) & therefore I better not buy anything costlier than what I already have.
To sum up: I would scavenge for value as long as I am bearish. I''ll be bullish (i.e. start buying on profit side) only after these 2 conditions are met with: (1) a fresh debt cycle in India (2) no ''catastrophic'' external threats (Chinese slowdown/real estate bust &, US recession) lurking in the background as either they have already been crystallized or are proven to be a hoax.

With all the explanations provided in a lucid manner, you would have observed today, Bank of Baroda up by 22% for declaring the highest ever quarterly loss ! SBI too up.. most blue chips have hit the UC ! One has to remember markets know more than what we know, through data and analysis. All analysis is postmortem. Depending too much on that and expecting the future to behave in the classical way is futile. None forecast oil at 145$, neither at 26$. Therefore markets move ahead of us even before we can forecast it. By the time an investors enters a market after reconfirming it to be bullish on successive ups, he is actually in most times at the beginning of end! Same happens the in the reverse. That is why , when every one screams we are going to hit 10000 at 9000, we actually are staring at 6500. And when we are so bearish as now expecting to be at 6500, we will be at 8000.
Take it from me China slowdown is far overstated than what it is. If you were to read about this in Chinese news papers , you will have a different picture indeed.US did not burst in 2008. Greece the worst state is managing. Gold surge in late 1990s was not forecast, neither it''s dip. US in the world is largest debtor if one were to add all the forex reserves held by other countries! Did it collapse ? How would we explain today TATA steel going up by 10%? Steel price are still lowest in t he world. TISCO reported biggest loss and closing down two plants. Markets gives returns when one takes the chance before it happens not after analysis. So, if the investor really wants to look at long term investment returns of 10X to 50X, he has to have the conviction of investing in all cycles. One ahs to identify , those with market leadership, market share, technology leadership & cost leadership. Of course, this is to be backed up by management by good corporate governance. History has shown that those who succeeded in the markets and investments are not the one who did lots of analysis. In fact it is proved that, those investment managers & analysts have given only moderate returns as the information explosion and analysis also creates a fear psychosis.
Some of ur arguments are irrefutable: Foreseeing future rather than post-facto analysis is what''s required for making a great investment.. Couldn''t agree more. I hate to fight ur optimism but still here r my 2 pennies worth: I already have tried to look through the murky crystal ball & already have formed a view on how future is going to look like- months before these current mood swings of Ms Market. I''m not doing post-facto analysis to devise a new investment strategy but just to validate the long formed picture which is not very high resolution & therefore needs reaffirmation every now & then....And just like u''ve mentioned, I''m trying to stick to my vision...It will take Ms Market to do more than the little dance she did today to entice me :)
Btw, some comments on why the markets rallied today: 1. Indications from OPEC as well as non-OPEC producers to act in concert to curb the free fall of oil prices. 2. Chinese Govt intervention in supporting Yuan at a slightly stronger level. This has allayed fears of sustained export of deflation by China.
Now, why this rally could be short-lived: 1. Appreciation of Yuan & the ensuing rebound in Chinese as well as Japanese stock markets is not supported by the underlying economic situation- Chinese latest imports/exports data (Jan16) continues to reflect slowdown whereas Japan showed a 1.4% contraction in its economy as per the most recent data. 2. Artificial reduction of oil prices through production cuts may encourage production of more expensive form of oil production & therefore may only solve the problem in the short term.
Why this rally could be permanent: Becayou wish for it!
I have noted to deepen my research around China encouraged by ur comment that it''s not as bad as we think it to be. But just so you know, even the ''foxy'' George Soros bets heavily against it! Whilst Soros is not a person I would normally subscribe to but Prem Watsa certainly is... the latter seems to be quite worried by the Chinese Real Estate situation.

Well , I am updated of all the facts you mentioned on OPEC, China when I wrote yesterday. Please also check the trade data , currency of Taiwan, South Korea which also is in the similar status and also wield lot of influence on the market.. George Soros, Mark Faber , Nouriel Rubini all were proved several times incorrect in past one decade. George Soros has been telling that China will collapse since 2008 hoping he will be true. His crystal gazing came true to an extent of only slowdown after 7 years ! I don''t call this crystal gazing. It is telling an old man that he is sure die this year every year and say "I told You " when it happens any time in future. All these individuals release statements to make sure as much as possible that market behaves the way for their investments or funds or derivatives positions are benefited. We have high intellectuals like Raghuram Rajan, Arvind Panagaria, Bibek Debroy , Subramaniam etc to manage the Indian economy , exchange rate , interest rate etc. Imagine the kind of people Chinese think tank will have who managed 10 Plus % growth over 25 years. Won'' they know all about real estate bubble, currency, hard landing.... ? My strategy is to continue to benefit in all cycle going with the flow. I have done this successfully past 20 years. What matters today for both China & India is GDP growth of 6.5% plus. Let us not get carried away by short terms blips and lose opportunities.
syngen i have sold given the recent rise it is in buying radar if corrects further timing being i see more value in other pharma alkem i still holding and adding

Further I must add that , even while picking such stocks there will be misses. Not all will give the returns, few fail. If one has the patience and conviction, the benefits of hits compensate not only the losses, but also leaves the investor with decent profit.
The US Treasury Yield Curve is flattening. The 2yr/10yr spread is +96.5 bps. This is the smallest spread since 2007. A negative spread (inverted Yield Curve) is considered a highly reliable predictor of recession. We are still far from negative territory, with +96.5 bps, but the gap is closing. Don''t know how but the probability that US may slip into recession in 2016 is calculated at 21%.

None can fathom the bottom or peak of market. In a growing economy, market will continue to rise over a period of time. Thus when this index reverses say from 6800 or 6300 whatever bottom it is , the upward move will be to cross earlier pea of 9115, till the time we continue to grow above 7%. Therefore , with the nifty PE at 17 , there are quite a few good picks. One common sense approach is to pick up those counters which service the Indian young janata. India now is story of positive demographics with 800 mn around 30 years and below. Cash in on their aspirations like FMCG, housing, clothing etc. Pick HUL, ITC, Marico, Britannia, Canfin homes, LIC housing, Hero Honda, Baja Auto, Axis bank, Kotak Bank, Maruti, Torrent pharma, Aditya Birla novou, KPR mills, Sutlej textiles....as front liners and quality midcaps. There are more .....

Do not pick the shares at one go. If you wish to pick say 300 of HUL , buy about 20 at a time. Often investors average when the price falls and not when the price moves up. I have averaged when price move up and found it more rewarding as you have to sail through the upward momentum of the counter. However in this market one can buy at every 5 % downward or upward movement a foxed lot of blue chips.
I like your point on "Do not pick the shares at one go". Thats the mistake I did. Its bcos someone say, its a good stock and give a target, i immediately jump with 100 stocks and sitting, watching to reach target. most times, it goes Southwards only.
But, in a fallling market, also if we keep on averaging, and if it keeps on going down, it might mean negtivity at the end right?
What is your suggestion on this?

Dear Shibajee, here is my suggestion. Suppose you pick up a good stock at price x, add more add same quantity at 0.9X if it moves southward. Add some more at another 10% fall. After that, if it falls more wait till it completes its downward cycle. If the stock is not a quality stock, it is unlikely to move up again giving you chance to come to no profit no loss status. If it is good mdi cap or front liner, it will begin uptrend and again begin adding.
On other hand after your first purchase , if it moves up, buy another lot at 1.1X, then 1.2 x...
The above assumes that, 1. You did some homework and are convinced of the stock. 2. You are a long term investor and will sell only when you need money for other reasons. For eg, I mentioned canfin homes earlier. I picked it up at 95, 110, 140, 190, 250, 300. Then waited till again tit went up to 700. When it reacted to 600plus , I added more. It roes to 975. Recently I picked up at around 850 again. IN between it had reached 1025plus. When you invest this way, you are averaging on the PROFIT SIDE unlike doing it on loss side. With such system even if the canfin falls to say 800 as it ahs fallen this downtrend from 1050, you are not affected as your average would be in the range of 250 to 300 with a profit of 250% and so on.......Trust this helps you to understand
Dear OuAi. I just have to add one thing to your strategy of averaging on the profit side...This strategy is, of course, more suited when you are in general bullish on the stock i. e. when there are profits! Buying on the loss side ( I would rather call it ''value'' side) can be a useful strategy when I am generally bearish on the stock. For ex: I am expecting SBI to fall further & therefore would sell a part of my holding (say 25%) whenever I get a price 3%-5% higher than my average cost. I will buy back that 25% when I get a 5% inue doing it until I reach bottom. Only when I reach bottom, and therefore there is now a clearly established ''profit'' side, will i start accumulating on the way up. Of course a much easier approach is to sit tight on cash, passively seek the bottom, & than start bulking up on ur way up. No need to monkey around with ur money. The only reason I am fiddling with my money right now is to have some first-hand-experience which is sorely lacking...

Most often it is easier to make a profit on rising side than falling side merely becain a growing economy, stocks continue to do outpace inflation and hold their prices in spite of temporary dis as of now. Most times , if one sells with at 3-5% at higher average price in the hope to get it back when it falls say another 5% , one misses and even looses such stock from portfolio forever unless one is willing to buy it much higher price. For information there are less than 2% investors who have sat on Infosys from Rs.9000/ to 5 cores today by just 100 shares becamost people cashed out in the hope of regaining a lower price. Similar is the case of say Page Industries available at 700 in say 2006. A stock that can generate wealth over a period o time assumes value even if it goes up by 5% as on longer term one is expecting it to give a return on 10x to 50x. No one ahs succeeded in knowing the bottom of a stock in market. There are thousands of investors who averaged Suzlon from 600 to 8 as on few months back assuming every fall in price was a value or bottom. In the process capital is eroded. In a growing economy, it is more prudent to look at value in future growth than value in something that has lost it''s inherent worth and fallen unless it is due to extraneous or special reasons. Let us say if an investor had sold SBI assuming that it will fall further and then suddenly if it were to rise incessantly next few trading sessions, one can''t buy it back without really losing! This strategy is only for investors not for traders. Traders look at short term movements. Investment is serious business.
I can see where ur coming from. Your philosophy is what we call ''growth investing'' whilst what I alluded to is ''value investing''.
I will dispose off 25% of my holding for 3%-5% gain becaI am expecting prices to fall. If it does not fall, I will of course not keep selling 25% at every 3%-5% increase!! I will never exhaust my entire portfolio. I''m just willing to sell 25% cheaply becaI am expecting to buy even more cheaply. If this condition is not met with & the stock starts to soar, I will obviously hold on to remaining 75% & might add some more on the way up.

Dear Gravitas, Growth & Value investment are the buzz words used in past 3 decades, nothing new. I have tried all this. The investing pattern needs to be in line with economy. My strategy is not to discover the bottom or when the share price soar. No one succeeded in determining market movements on a daily or monthly, in spite of all the data and research. With all the information such as bond yields, China data, Europe junk bonds that you collated which surely is a good work and study, does not offer a clue on whether market will tank or reverse. With all the negatives , yesterday CAC, DAC is up 3plus %, DOW, Nasdaq is also up. Any large economy that is mature and growing will provide growth over decades and centuries. Many times crisis like this provide great opportunities for additional investment , but not by selling existing holdings and trying to average. You can try whatever you are comfortable with. However one has to remember that like a cocoanut tree takes 10 years to yield , stocks also take longer periods of growing and not in short spurts. Despite all the information available on all data , and the decades of experience , I can''t predict market movements. So , I adopt a strategy to ride the wave.

1.Just to add between value and growth , what is growth today becomes value in the future. Say if one had invested in UTI Bank (Now Axis) in 2004 at Rs 200 at face value of 10 , today one is sitting on RS,1600 at 8X. All will say Rs.200 was value. However remember that in 2003/4 if investor had that conviction of its giving 5x and above then buy it even if it does means high at that time. 2. When you mention that you will sell 25% at say 5% higher and wait to average when price falls remember that balance 75% holding is under loss whereas when I purchase at price x and buy more at 10% higher my existing holding is in profits which is much safer. 2. When one wants to average on downside reducing the value of holding there is a limitation. IF our share price is 500 , theoretically the maximum one can reduce is 500 where as on the upper side sky is the limit.
ou Ai please no one can know what will happen next....dont post this type of advise otherwise small investor will loose their capital in average out

I am surprised. This is called SIP method and these days also followed by the mutual funds and meant for actually small investors , so they could contain their risks.
To septa, Ou Ai and Eagleeye mam so u all feel this termoil is a buying opportunity for retailer and to jump into the blue stock for the port folio building. i am looking for some blue stock as those are at very attractive but still want some wait and watch as this day seems to be black day, awaiting for ur comments. thks
OuAi & Septaji - UR points well taken. I already have SBI @153 ICICI@198 & L&T @1,080. Aiming to push my average further down.
I''m quite bearish in short to medium term due to the gloom surrounding global economy: (1) China''s slowdown:- It is already effecting corrections in our market. In addition, China is not yet fully spoken for as the much feared ''real estate bust'' is still under the carpet. (2) European deflation (3) US banging on the doors of deflation:- Speculative Bond bubble could burst any time...with interest rates already low for about a decade, Fed doesn''t have much ammunition this time to tame these deflationary pressures...negative interest rates also offer no panacea (as can be seen from the example of EU as well as Japan). Nov16 (prez election time) could be an important trigger for all these underlying currents to start generating stronger ripples. (4) Demographic cliff:- Both EU (major nations) & US are about to fall down the demographic cliff in coming 1-2 years.
The only saving grace for us is our own ''internal demand'' as well as opportunity to benefit from the vulnerabilities of others (eg. we could boost our underdeveloped ''Manufacturing'' & further leverage our strong competitive advantage in ''Services'').
So, overall I see all these likely developments as opportunity rather than threat. All we need to do is tread carefully.
@ OuAi, @Septa.. Thanks for the little gems of knowledge that u both shared. PCL is now available at a fair price (160/-) as per my initial model but given the ST uncertainties around China I am sitting tight for some more time. The passenger vehicles per 1000 persons in China is only 69 whilst it is 768 for US! Given such in-built demand boosted further by ongoing structural shift of China from a manufacturing to consumption driven economy, I reckon that no of passenger cars per capita would certainly increase going forward. The only thing holding me down is the ST volatility in China. I''m expecting the equity prices to come down further in the near term which may provide an opportunity for a deeper value-investing. Let''s see what happens once Chinese stock market re-opens. Nifty PE is down to around 19.5. So, it makes sense to wait.. just in case it slips even more.
By the way, just noticed that Indigo was trading below the issue price at some point of time recently... compare that with 88% peak premium it touched..and all this happened with just the 1st quarter result post listing. Indigo still posted very good profits (+23%)..still has 85% passenger factor...still has low oil prices....but just becaof a short term delay (6-9 months I guess, may be a little more) in delivery of their new plane, the prices have taken such a beating. In retrospection, it shows just how jumpy the prices could be in a short window (pre & post listing). It, therefore, makes sense to wait if boarders are looking to buy into PCL... let the dust settle first...
agree even if want or tempted to buy better to wait or buy staggered..... even at 19 PE compare to other index world wide india is expensive.... some recent issue VRL to KH kelkar all have a chance to test list price becaonce margin tigers it tendency to sell first those which r making ANY MONEY.... so all those holiday recent list better book some profit

Dear Gravitas, China has several manufacturers of auto components whose manufacturing capacity is 6 to 10 times bigger than what Indian components manufacturers have. Don''t bank upon China volume for PCL. China''s shifting to services is not shifting manufacturing to services like the west or USA did. China''s growth in services is accelerated compared to manufacturing. For information, TATA, Ashok Leyland, Eicher all buy their times like crank shafts from Chinese suppliers and not from say Bharat Forge. Their prices are still cheaper and delivery is on dot timewise

Also current rout is on account of fears of European bank failure including Deutsche Bank. Not much to do with China. So with sensex PE at 17 plus as on today, you will have many opportunities to pick blue chips. For example ,Why not ICICI Bank at 180 then PCL at 150? A small turnaround can take ICICI Bank to 300 in no time. Check with Septa ji how low was ICICI Bank in 2008 Lehman brothers crisis and bounced back.
yes times like this better stick with cash or bluechips then bets like PCL..... look at put premium for 6500 to 6900 have given 300% return this is sure bear face looks like DII will be selling
Just one more thing PCL is setting up factories in china with vision china 2020.... but i would wait putting any fresh money now

Dear Septaji, I am aware of this PCL factory in Ningbo & Huzhou which is nothing but just an MOU. It is next to impossible for any Indian manufacturing firm to supply to local automobile companies as well as even firms like GM , FORD, TATA CHERRY ...... as all these firms are 50% or above are Chinese owned! PCL understanding is nothing to say about as of now.
I have applied for two lots each for 2 applications.Only one lot on application is allotted and a/c debited but till this day,they have not unblocked .Any such case of this IPO.?Pls.anybody can advise how to dealfor unblocking ? as TEAMLEASE people have already unblocked yesterday itself. Nice work by their REGISTRAR.
Septa i follow you and want to know the future strategy in PRECAM as i am holding 2640 shares at IPO price. Your advice will help a lot. Thanks in Advance!!
three days a fall not good for any stock.... Shah big pay had a big impact on list which he candidly said it has given wrong impression about corporate governance and in future all such decision will be above the table....
For me it is long play and my investment is based of good growth and increase in both topline and bottom line presently the EPS is around 8 if this grows at 17% in few times EPS will double in 7 years EPS will triple and in 10 years EPs will 5 times that is 40 at least even at 20 PE the price in 3 years would be 320 in 5 years Rs 480 and 10 years Rs 800 which IMO is good return

Dear Septa ji, with all due respects for your in-depth research, in a falling market there are several multi bagger picks that could grow faster pace than PCL with similar investments. Though 186 to 800 in 10 years seems good as on date, others can be in 4 or 5 digits price in ten years time, if picked at right time. Motherson Sumi quoted by you is definitely a good example. Art is not to just follow some other angel investor, grey market price or rumors or HOS, but do your own research and believe in oneself , the way you are doing. Some will come true some will not. As far as the success rate overshadows the wrong picks, it is in order. I had picked up items like Eicher at 2100 in 2012, MRF @ 9000 in 2010, big volumes of Hawkins at 55 in 2006 (which is at 50X in 9 years), TTK at 85 same period. None would have imagined their prices of today with any kind of financial evaluation like DCF or otherwise during my buying. PCl''s projection, however good seems to me like some of those stocks in which I not only lost , but the firms vanished which many boarders here would not have heard. Firms like Amforge, Ahmednagar forgings, Patheja forgings, Dynamatic forgings, Truewheels ,Gajra gearsare some examples. Other auto component firms like Steel strip wheels, Bharat gears, Munjal Showa, Rico auto have never given any benefits several years after its business. Amtek auto is also on its down path. I am sharing this experience for the benefit of all here as on e can not just compare PCL with just MNCs like BOSCH , DENSO or Sundaram group firms like IMPAL, fasteners , clayton , wheels India....and be convinced , it will pick up.

Ou Ai I agree and i was lucky to have many in my portfolio earlier i had sold out many before the real big movement however over years i have learned it pays of to stay really long even if the share has given u 100% return.... I give no value for Grey market premium if that is case i would have avoided PCL and brought QHL and Teamlease.... With angel investor or i call them ace investor would like to know what they r buying however i am not going to follow 100%.
With PCL my bet it is market leader in a fast growing auto ancillary industry with entry to barrier i would love the business mix change from 80:20 from export: domestic to 60:40 mix
Yes risk is high however PCL investment less then .5% of my equity investment and equity is not my only investment what i am saying i have taken a calculative risk and hope for the best... All my call have not been positive some have been disaster.
In fact my recent buys in PSU banks some pharma and some metal sectors r down 20% to 30% BTW presently Mothersumi is my second biggest portion of portfolio my cost is zero...given my very early entry my biggest is ICICI bank (bank of madura) holding from bank of madura
some partcipants in this forum seems to be operator"s man they may misguide u. so be careful while investing. and book profit or loss immediately on listing day and according to mkt. conditions , if u have invested in IPO for listing gains only. baki badi badi figures or analysys to koi bhi de sakta hai.
