Filatex India on 9th November, 2011 @ 46.15 Rs./Share
TweetSummary: Filatex’s shares have gained pretty decently in the last few weeks, and much more than the market. Upon analyzing, one can find that it had got more to do with the regular ups and downs of the market and little else. The company is a very risky proposition for a lay investor to enter, […]

Precision Wires on 4th November, 2011 @ 93.5 Rs./Share
TweetSummary: Precision Wires knows how to make money consistently, but is slave to the copper prices and its accounting policy. Moreover, the company’s interest expenses are about to increase due to recent Cap Ex projects it under took.

Munjal Showa on 28th October, 2011 @ 73.2 Rs./Share
TweetSummary: Munjal Showa is at its 52 week high right now, but still looks attractive. That cannot be said about many companies in the market.

Balaji Telefilms on 19th October, 2011 @ 31.5 Rs./Share
TweetSummary: The present situation of Balaji is a product of two opposite forces. You pick one and you know whether to invest or not. 88% of the stock price is the cash the company owns. That makes the stock VERY cheap. But there is a contingent liability that can take the whole company down. That […]

Praj Industries on 14th October, 2011 @ 78.25 Rs./Share
TweetSummary: Praj is in WOW shape in terms of its financial condition, but the stock price is already reflecting that fact. The price is decently good despite very poor last FY. The present stock price, thus, DOES NOT give much margin of safety and so one has to realize that one is investing in this […]

BEML on 13th October, 2011 @ 487.8 Rs./Share
TweetSummary: I believe BEML is NOT a great value pick at current levels because even though it has sound fundamental, it does not have sufficient margin of safety. Personally, I have unrealized losses in the scrip and based on this analysis right now I believe I do not have much more downside at this moment. […]
