THE INSTIABLE LURE FOR HOLDING COMPANIES

Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation, three months ago hit a new 52-week high at Rs.1820. The stock price defies all logic when one looks at the financials - for Q3FY18, the company posted a net loss of Rs.70 lakh and it has been posting losses all along. So why this kind of valuation?

PNB FRAUD INTERNAL REPORT – FRUSTRATING AND DEPRESSING

about 8 years ago

The 162-page internal report of PNB says it all. The fraud was there to see but the typical attitude of Govt organisations, to flout norms and rules, blatantly doing away with all good practices; that’s what led to this scam. The PSU banks are so quick to show us, the customers, the rule book every time we question some meaningless rule; if only they had followed the rules….

It seemed there could be no life for each other without each other! Looks like the same story continues even today though a new CEO was appointed and Deveshwar is the non-executive chairman.

MARKETS LOOKING MUCH BEYOND IIP AND CPI

about 8 years ago

July IIP came in at 6.6% v/s 6.9% (MoM) and the retail inflation or CPI for August was at 3.69% v/s 4.17% (MoM) – this is a 10-month low. So inflation cools down and growth was steady.. that in short is the story of today.

The market going up because Patel and Jaitley will bury the hatchet and move on? Seems unlikely that this could lead to an over 450 points jump that we see currently (2.45pm). Actually, the real reason, as we perceive is the Ease of Doing Business Ranking. This ranking is to be announced to today

IT WAS GOOD NEWS ALL AROUND!

about 8 years ago

It was good news. IIP and CPI, both were good. IIP for Oct, thanks to the festive demand of Diwali, rose sharply to 8.1% v/s 4.5% (MoM). Mining was up 7%, manufacturing rose to 7.9% and electricity was up 10.8%.

IIP JUMPS UP – MORE BAFFLING THAN SURPRISING

about 7 years ago

The IIP for April came in surprisingly at 3.4% v/s -0.1% (MoM). It really left everyone kind of baffled; maybe it is the spurt in the manufacturing sector which showed the jump and also the capital goods. But then the Manufacturing PMI was down thus somewhere this does not add up. Given this kind of volatility in the IIP and a huge disconnect between the actual ground realities, in the background of today’s research report by Arvind Subramanian

THE WAY TO LIVE - FRUGAL OR MISER?

about 9 years ago

There is a very thin line between living a frugal life and being called a miser. But people generally have a tendency to club both these together and are usually said in the same breath. Yet, there is a world of difference between the two. Simply put, a frugal person is someone who lives simply, not denying himself anything in life but at the same time, questioning himself at every juncture when he is tempted to buy something whether he “really” needs it.

GROWTH SLOWS, INFLATION PICKS UP PACE

about 7 years ago

IIP for May came in lower at 3.1% v/s 3.4% (MoM) and CPI was at 3.18% for June v/s 3.05% (MoM) and this was obviously led by increase in prices of food and vegetables/fruits. Growth for May is a disappointment but then looking at the high frequency data for the past few months, this does not come as a surprise at all

IIP SLUMPS - REFLECTS THE GROUND REALITY

about 7 years ago

IIP for June came in at 2% v/s 3.1% in May and it put forth what we all knew all along – the economy is slowing down and slowing down fast. With the auto sector almost gutted, realty also down in the dumps, these numbers of industrial production, at least as of now seem merely symbolic

DESPACITO – SLOWLY GETTING DESPONDENT

about 7 years ago

If the Govt had thought that it could have got the market to celebrate and soar with their merger announcements on Friday; well, it gauged the moods completely wrong. The overhang of the slowdown, the further falling sales numbers of the auto sector and another merger news of BPCL into Indian Oil Corporation kept the markets down, really really down.

IIP JUMPS UP, SO DOES INFLATION!

about 7 years ago

This was very good news, especially given the gloom and doom. IIP for July was much higher than expected – a good thing, while retail inflation for August was also much higher than expected – which is not such a good thing.

MORE BILLIONAIRES, MORE HUNGER

about 7 years ago

That’s the thought which comes to mind every time we dig out news on India’s rising poverty rate and growing hunger index. We use the word, “dig.” This news is never really flashed all across like the way the Ease of Doing Business index is. So govt continues to concentrate on making the environment right for the businessmen but gives two hoots for those living in the lowest rung of the economic ladder.

SCRAPPAGE POLICY – THIS COULD REALLY MOVE THE ECONOMY

about 7 years ago

The logic is simple – if you have a gas guzzling old car, 15 years and older, you need to get it off the road and buy a new, more fuel-efficient car. This is expected to have a two prong benefit – make the air cleaner by removing these clunkers off the road and boost demand for automobiles

Almost everyone seems to be working from home. But there are some jobs, which simply cannot be done from home like a plumber, carpenter, painter, doctors, sanitation workers, nurses, police, salesmen, beauticians, factory floor workers, hoteliers and so many more. In all this, have you wondered how an auditor can work from home?

WINSTRON- NOT A WIN FROM ANY ANGLE

about 6 years ago

Eleven days ago, it was pretty shameful when several thousands of workers at this Apple manufacturing unit, Wistron Corporation, ransacked the office, set cars on fire, broke windows and doors. This shows that the workers were pushed to the corner, they had reached the limit of their patience as all their complaints fell on deaf ears.

IPOs FOR INSTITUTIONS ONLY???

about 5 years ago

And what SEBI is looking at is something like a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) but QIP is usually of a listed company and this proposal is for companies to be listed. Like QIPs, there might be rules – presence of at least 2 institutions if the issue size if less than Rs.250 and 5 if more than Rs.250 crore – no single institution is allowed to corner more than 50% of the issue.

FIIs DRIVING UP MARKETS OR RETURNING BLACK MONEY?

about 13 years ago

The retail investor has totally disappeared, so for us this euphoria, more than sour grapes, is a reason to wonder. Are we missing something which the FIIs are seeing? More importantly, how come the FIIs have gone all gung-ho when even two months ago, when all economic parameters were the same as what we have today existed, the very same FIIs were not-so-bullish? How come this sudden jump from cold shoulder to hot, hot, hot?

SHOULD YOU HOLD 'HOLDING' COMPANIES?

about 10 years ago

Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation recently hit a new 52-week high at Rs.636. The stock price defies all logic when one looks at the financials - for Q1FY17, its net sales dropped 3% (YoY) at Rs.63 crore and the company ultimately ended Q1 with a net loss of Rs.4 crore. So why this kind of valuation?

BENAMI PROPERTY - IT'S ALL IN THE NAME!

This salvo proposed to be fired against benami property could not have come at a better time. At a time when demonetization drive has as such dealt a body blow to the sector, this going after the benami property with tongs and knives is perfect.

Apart from hikes in duties, our honorable Finance Minister has proposed the introduction of Inflation-Indexed Bonds or IIBs.

Real estate and gold, move with costs and these

And time and again, one cannot help but wonder at the relevance of the five-year plans?

THE TALE OF TWO COUNTRIES - ARGENTINA AND VENEZUELA

about 13 years ago

The problem with Argentina and Venezuela is a completely blotched set of fiscal and economic policies. To keep the currency rate overvalued, its inflation rate is shown at unrealistic levels. But in both these countries, there exists a parallel unofficial black market for exchanging dollars. Incoming tourists could either exchange the dollars for peso in Argentina at the officially pegged exchange rate, which is 'set' by the Govt and not the market forces.

RERA – NO NEED TO GO RAH RAH ABOUT IT!

about 10 years ago

The week gone by will either become historic for the Indian realty sector or become a standing joke, all depending on how well the Real Estate Regulation Act (RERA) gets implemented.

0% WPI - DOES 'ZERO' HAVE THE MIGHT TO BRING DOWN RATES?

about 12 years ago

This means there has been no change in inflation - the prices remained same, neither up nor down. This means, in November, the Indian economy was in a state of no price movement. We have disinflation - much better place to be in rather than inflation. And before that, on Friday, we had the news that Consumer Price Index or CPI for Nov'14 was at 4.38% which was actually below the 5%
