I read about something like pharma stocks are better picks in current situation because they are defensive and cannot hit by recession. This may be correct but I am not an expert of pharma industry and the industry has some of its internal problem.In current situation most of the well established pharma companies are trading in the PE of range 30-60 like FMCG companies but with a far greater DEGREE OF  UNCERTAINTY . There are 2 approach of anchoring the valuation: Balance sheet Approach P&L approach Balance Sheet Approach : This is helpful for companies driven by mainly commodities not by consumers.   P&L approach The P&L approach is suitable for Asset light and dependent on consumer spending. These companies generally have strong brand high ROE and no debt. You will find them in FMCG segment and in pharmaceuticals.Pharma is a complex business and difficult to give a fair value for its shares . Why is it difficult to analyz...

While the rupee has hit 65 to the US dollar again after two years, Indian rupee has been a stronger currency in the last 16 months than in the previous four years   Whatever China does attracts attention - big attention. So when China suddenly decided to move the Yuan downwards against the US dollar, currency markets panicked. Indian Rupee could not have been left untouched and has reacted from around 63.7 per US dollar to around 65 per US dollar, a level not seen since September 2013. That was the time when the Rupee market was in complete panic and had even touched 68 to a dollar.   So are we into that panic mode again? Not exactly. Just as a recap, what was the scenario in September 2013? India’s current account deficit (CAD) had gone haywire (about 4-5% of GDP). External debt was a concern. Inflation was in double digits or very close. Dependence on foreign inflows just to maintain equilibrium in the forex markets was very high.   All it took was a com...

India has successfully written its IT services glory for last 20 years for its cheap labour cost.However this is now not true any longer . That’s why the companies which were once showing 20-40% CAGR growth now struggling for 3-7% growth…. In India we have TCS, Infosys, CTS, TechMahindra and many other companies are doing their business since last couple of decades. Among all TCS is more valued company with $90 Billion market. In FY-14 TCS had over 3,00,000 (3 lacs) employees and reported a revenue of $13.44 billion. To grow it’s revenue at the rate of 15% for next 5 years it has increase it’s employee base to 6,00,000 (6 lacs) by FY-19. Managing attrition, productivity, quality and very high fixed wage costs will be a huge challenge for the company. Any downturn in business from western world would severely hurt the company’s financials and profits. From the above analysis one thing is evident that TCS is increasing their employee base to cater service and do ...

Since our childhood days our parents, neighbors and friends programmed our mind in such a way that we are in a firm belief that Real Estate can never depreciate and an ever appreciating investment. But this is not true …. Let me tell you a story ….. Suppose ABC is a place where no business was there, no job was getting generated. But one day one rich person came to that place and bought the property with 30 lakh Rs. Now what will happen? The other property owners also will try to sell the land with the same price or above… The rich guy had black money and paid in cash. After sometime in that place some business has grown up and people started getting good job and handsome salary. When these salary people went to land owners/builder to buy, they get afar high quotation of 50 lakh J … To fulfill their so called dreams these guys rush to bank and took loan and bought the house. Like this rat race started one after another joined the race of house buying …. Making builder an...

An attempt at making quick money leads to losses far higher than the initial investment. If stocks don’t seem by historical standards, stand aside and invest in very small amounts.  Buy and hold does not work always .Never average down a losing investment unless it is a part of well-thought out process. The best tip is there is nothing called “Hot tip”. Never fall in love with your stocks. It will never fall in love with you. It will fall with market J Calculate first how much you can lose, not how much you can gain. Valuations don’t matter in short run and “short run” can last for months and even beyond a year … Experts care about risks and Novices dreams about returns. Forecasts usually my market experts are usually useless. Develop a method and stick to it and have patience. Lots of humility helps.A rising tide raises all ships and so you may have been just lucky. Stocks fell more than you think and rises higher than you will possibly imagine. Investing in po...
