Congrats Shobhit ! You win the retro TAP GAP 2016 hamper for Lakshmi Energy & Foods

Sadly TAP GAP 2017 cannot be announced  for now as SEBI has proposed a blanket ban on such competitions.More on this at the end of this post

But First the Good News for Shobhit who contributed MIC,Subex and Lakhsmi Overseas in TAP GAP 2016.MIC lost one fourth value in 2016 while Subex is down 6.5% after promising starts

But Hey Shobhit ,your Lakshmi Overseas,now named Lakshmi Energy & Foods Ltd,came from behind in the second half of 2016 and recorded the highest gains from all the 101 entries in TAP GAP 2016 pipping Vishal Kejriwal’s Kisan Moulding to second spot .Your gauravblog hamper ,as promised ,will soon be on it’s way to you

Here’s the final performance in 2016 of all the 101 entries after adjusting for Bonus & Splits in 2016 in several scrips.If I’ve left out some adjustment do let me know.Kaveri Seeds,for which I had announced Pushkar as the winner,earlier in 2016 has gained @ 28%,even though it had  locked horns with the Government on Monsanto’s high royalties on their genetically modified cotton seeds

It’s been a near even split with 51 recording gains of which 9 more than doubled. 49 showed negative returns of which serious wealth destruction was seen in many notably Sanjivani Paranterals,Ricoh (suspended last month) & Trilogic Digital

SEBI’s new Investment Adviser Guidelines consultation/amendment note of October 7,2016 Clause 4.6.3 a) proposes that “No person shall organize or offer any scheme/competition/game/ league on securities or related to securities market”….this is sadly a blanket ban ,yet understandable as was aimed at Trading Leagues that were a win win for those conducting them & in my view encouraged over trading .

TAP GAP never solicited business or monies to participate & in fact winner/s I picked from all entries ,received my blog hamper in appreciation.It was launched years ago in an endeavour to further Investor Education,Awareness & Protection through Fundamental Analysis & Valuation Basis .In my view it has been serving this fundamental purpose quite well indeed as evidenced from rising popularity.I intend to have a dialogue with SEBI on this and get their green signal to continue with this

Many Thanks to all of you,who have participated wholeheartedly and with great enthusiasm in TAP GAP Posers in the years before & I do hope I can continue this with SEBI’s concurrence

Well done Shobhit,the Brilliant Aroma of Lakshmi Enery & Foods Ltd’s Basmati Rice served you very well ,despite the controversy the company’s group companies are embroiled in ,in the NSEL Scam !  🙂   read more

A Dose of Rakesh Jhunjhunwala

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala on Future of Equity Market

Methinks every Indian Equity Investor needs a dose of Rakesh Jhunjhunwala (RJ) every few years! ~ any sooner it could be an Overdose !  😆 ~ just kidding !

I like the guy ! ~ right since I interacted with him when I invited him around 15 years ago at the turn of this century for interacting in an evening  Q & A session with my packed class of @ 90 participants in my Equity Portfolio Structuring and Stock Analysis Workshop at the BSE Training Institute as I thought he would add practical value & he did

“Boss ! I’m a Sadak Chaap ! ”  he had told us then as also how he had reconstructed his equity portfolio to concentrate only in a few stocks after the 2000 ICE debacle…so in a sense most of his Wealth has grown only in this Millennium in the past 15 years ~ and to his credit in Selections that were not really Blue Chip or Core

Yesterday had gone for an  IMC interactive meet in Mumbai to check out if RJ has sobered & matured in his ‘manner of speak’ over the years ~ I rarely watch Stock Channels ~ don’t even have a TV in office~  so was not really conversant with how & what he delivered in his appearances though knew of his initiating big stakes in companies

I am delighted to blog he has not changed ! ~ shot straight from the hip & mouth again as he always does ” I’m a satodia(translated to mean speculator)  & investor & not an economist” ~ his investment portfolio has spread into the Alternatives of  Bollywood Movie Production too with Kareena & Arjun starrer ‘Ki & Ka’ being his latest co production~ is into horse racing too and owns a few horses ~ passions perhaps where return on investments need not be measured in monies !?

Many perceive him as Dehati or Crude Dude for his rustic loud boorish way of speech~ but don’t let it fool you ! & he does not make any pretenses ~ he’s a CA by training & wears a fairly sharp mind

Money Talks & Crowd Laps it up all !~ many vigorously & ‘knowledgeably’ nodding in agreement

These RJ’s views & responses to questions posed should interest you :

On The Future of Equity Markets ~ Reiterates this is only the Trailer & we are going to witness a Mother of all Bull Runs.India is a thriving young Democracy with US $ 600 b in Savings every year.Equity Markets receive just US $ 50 b from this.This has to improve and it will ~ anyone ,any  doubt!?   

On Returns from Equity  ~ Ironically while his riches have been through multibagger 1000% + equity gains in concentrated high weightage stocks like Titan & Crisil he asserts that one should be happy with 18% CAGR gains and if it goes to 24% one should be really happy read more

Congrats TAP GAP 2016 Winner Pushkar for Kaveri Seed @ Rs 325 !

Congrats TAP GAP 2016 Winner Pushkar for Kaveri Seeds @ Rs 325 !….In less than 2 months it’s already up to Rs 390 with promise of recovering lost ground

Phew ! it took me quite some time to go through 101 Companies as below that were submitted as below for TAP GAP 2016

Thanks to all of  you who send in 101 Company entries by January 15,2016 & for being patient till I declared  Pushkar as the winner today ! 

My single criteria was to assess that which company had fundamental strength to give a 100% return in a tough 2016 ….I also considered if there are vested interests in the scrips who control market trades & I have opted not to go for them….You guys have given me quite a few of these 🙂

I had finally filtered it to selecting from these Five

  1. Ambika Cotton
  2. Avanti Feeds
  3. Capital First
  4.  Nirlon
  5. Kaveri Seed
I have decided that one of Pushkar’s three Choices,Kaveri Seed deserves this years TAP GAP 2016 gauravblog hamper It’s already up 20% inside two months and we have 10 months to go in 2016 & I’m quite sure that many from the remaining  100 entries too will outperform & as always I promise to also reward the gauravblog hamper to  the one whose entry gains the highest % in 2016 as at closing December 31, 2016….unless it’s Pushkar again scoring on one of  his other two entries,Larsen & Toubro or Firstsource Solutions !  🙂 Kaveri Seed is a Debt Free  & Cash Rich ( Rs 345 crs at December 31,2015) dividend paying company  which has had a tough drop last year .In fact a year ago in March 2015 it was a strong Rs 1077 (52 Week High) and since then dropped to Rs 300 in January this year on the back of two consecutive poor Monsoon that lowered farm income & the Company had to write off more no cotton seed inventory ,largely maize.Q 2 FY 15 saw a bottomline loss of Rs 48 crs on account of this.Also Royalty Dispute with Monsanto remains an unresolved issue for the Industry A good Monsoon in 2016 will quickly push this Company back into Orbit….it already has got a push with Government Panel proposing a national uniform price for Bt Cotton for 2016 believed to be Rs 800 per 450 gms Bt Cotton packet,incl of trait or license fees of Rs 49.These fees are 74% less than prevailing.It is awaiting acceptance by  the Ministry of Agriculture.This should also help remove Royalty overhang.FY 15 Royalty was Rs 159 crs on Sales of Rs 1161 crs.In FY 16 for the nine months the Company has provided just Rs 37.53 crs as directed by State Governments while the actual liability as per agreement with Service Provide Monsanto is Rs 102.51 crs creating a shortfall of Rs 64.55 crs.The matter is pending in Court between National Seed Association of India & Monsanto which will first decide if Government of India indeed has a right to intervene in fixing MSP & Trait Value…If Government wins then Kaveri Seed is also entitled to get a refund of Rs 200 crs from Monsanto for excess Royalty paid till 2015.If  Monsanto triumps then Kaveri needs to pay out as of date just Rs 65 crs underprovided.It is Debt Free & has Cash Reserves of @ Rs 345 crs as on December 31,2015 ….but whoever wins it will yet be a win win for the Industry & Kaveri as there will be clarity on Pricing & Royalty….Problem is that Monsanto through it’s Indian JV with  Maharashtra based Mahyco,Mahyco Monsanto Biotech has threatened to hold back newer technologies & also re-evaluate it’s presence in India if the Government does not roll back the Plan to cut Bt Cotton Trait Value by 70%….In my view India is too big a Market for Monsanto to ignore & there will be a resolution to this issue    Another Development is a Forensic Audit ordered by SEBI in December 2015 to be conducted by CA Firm  Sarath & Associates based in Hyderabad Company has got a National Footprint with  Brand Loyalty in a high barrier industry   where it takes strong investment in R & D for seeds and a lead time of 7 to 8 years to commercial production .Q 1 April to June Quarter  in any FY is always the crucial quarter as Farmers buy seeds to sow just before Monsoon sets in.Q 1 FY 15 saw Sales of Rs 664 crs down from Rs 827 crs in Q 1 FY 14 & even lower than the Rs 736 crs in Q 1 in FY 13.FY 15 saw 8.4 m packets sold while FY 16 is expected to close under 6 m.FY 17 should see a 20% to 25% climb back. Market Cap is Rs 1158 crs at Rs 390 =>  @ One Year Sales…..Book at 31/12/2015 was @ Rs 133 on a Networth of @ Rs 920 crs Of course there is always the global resentment for increasing use of hybrid seed technology,especially Bt Cotton  & for the Monopoly of Monsanto in this and their dictating terms ….that is for another debate though Here is the List of all 101 Entries and how they have performed till date from your recommended price or  January 15,2016 closing taken if lower

Note :

  1. Sandeep Gahandule who just won the hamper for Alphageo’s spectacular 720% run in 2014 has contributed three selections for 2015 this time too
  2. Anand,who ran neck to neck with Sandeep till November 2014,when his low priced Rs 7 YBrant  was up against Alphageo has yet again given one really low priced selection Raj Rayon of just 66 paise !
  3. Deccan Gold & Spicejet occur twice as they constitute selections from two different participants
  4. Prices at which Recommended have either been provided by the Participant when making the Reco and reflect the current market price at the time or where they have not stated the price,the last price when they made the reco has been sourced from the BSE & NSE
  5. Most have not given targets for 2015 Selections but the four selections that have been given targets and all are  over 100% + except one,are as follows : Freshtop Fruits Rs 250,PTC India Financial Services Rs 90,Subros Rs 150 and Tata Sponge Rs 1500+
  6. Adani Group finds representation but none from the Ambani Groups ~ perhaps realisation that Reliance Ind has been a losing 5 year Investment thus far and ADAG Companies have struggled
  7. Tata Sponge is the lone entry from the Tata Group.
  8. Media and Aviation have two each in Network 18 and TV Today and Jet Airways & Spicejet respectively
  9. Pharma & Auto Ancilliaries & NBFCs &  IT  & Speciality & Commodity Chemical Sectors are well represented
  10. Can see a few potential turnaround selections as well as a few that have already run up huge in 2014
  11. Tea & Coffee Beverages & Renewable Energy & Defence are represented but none from direct Power,Telecom or Real Estate or Retail
  12. No Bank & no Oil & Gas Major  & No visible Large Cap ! but Three Selections are also traded in the Derivatives Segment,namely,Adani Enterprise,Engineers India & Motherson Sumi

Going to be an interesting few days filtering all the above

Monsanto to pay US $ 93 m for poisoning US Town Nitro with dioxin a chemical byproduct of the toxic Herbicide Agent Orange

Monsanto to pay US $ 93 m for poisoning US Town Nitro with dioxin a chemical byproduct of the  toxic Herbicide Agent Orange 

Residents of this West Virginia Town have a right to file individual suits against Monsanto if medical tests show they suffered physical harm due to dioxin exposure.

Monsanto is under seige too for using Glyphosate…. another deadly toxin used in Monsanto herbicides such as RoundUp

India needs to be aware of these developments as Monsanto is very active in India and this giant biotech company is right up there in genetically modified production of crops….Bt Cotton and Brinjal for instance……and there is a raging debate in India to go ahead full fledge on this

Monsanto India is a listed company at Rs 2000 with a Market Cap over Rs 3400 crs…FY 14 saw Sales of Rs 582 crs and Profit of Rs 123 crs with an EPS of Rs 71…Equity is low at Rs 17.26 crs (FV Rs 10) with two Monsanto Companies holding an aggregate of 72.14% of the Equity ….Reserves are Rs 327 crs and Book Value is Rs 200….PE works out to 28 and PBV to 10….It’s a Zero Debt Company and paid 30% Final Dividend and a 120% Interim Dividend

Monsanto Controversial Chronology is briefly documented here

Two Interesting Names come up on the Board of Directors of Monsanto India:

R C Khanna ~ As on June 30,2014 held 389976 Equity Shares  or 2.26% Equity Stake => worth Rs 80 crs today

He is the Non-Executive Director. ~A Cost & Chartered Accountant from England & Wales ~he retired as the Senior Partner of M/s. A.F. Ferguson & Co., Chartered Accountants, in 1989 (Merged into Deloitte ). He joined the Board of MIL in 1975.

Pradeep Poddar

He is the Non-Executive Independent Director ~ A Chemical Engineer from UDCT, Mumbai and an MBA from IIM, Ahmedabad ~  served as part of the top-management at Glaxo, Heinz and the Tata Group. He is presently the Managing Director of Mount Everest Mineral Water Limited, a Tata Enterprise and is leading the Tatas’ foray into water and functional beverages globally. He represents the Tatas’ interest on the Boards of Nourishco, the Joint Venture Company with Pepsico and the Rising Beverage Company (Activate Beverages) in USA. He is also a trustee on the Board of United Way, Mumbai. He joined the MIL Board in January 2006.

There were 15770 Shareholders at June 30,2014 including the Two Promoter Monsanto Holding Companies

Wonder why the controversial Monsanto remains Listed and thus more in the Public Eye ! read more

Union Budget 2014 ~ Will Sensex continue to Humour as Jaitley does not!

Have a look at our first impression posted  after our FM ‘s Union Budget Address and during market hours

Union Budget 2014 ~ Will Sensex continue to Humour as Jaitley does not!

Think he missed a great opportunity to provide us with the ‘Naya Soch’ of the new NDA Government

His Speech stated quite a few challenges and objectives like tackling Black Monies,raising Tax to GDP ratio,lowering Inflation and Fiscal Deficit % but stopped short of spelling out the specifics of solving these

Having just 45 days after NDA was elected he has opted for the easier option of simply following the UPA budget process and numbers too that the UPA FM Mr Chidambaram laid out in his Interim Budget in February 2014….whether it be Disinvestment or Tax Receipts or Fiscal Deficit Control Targets…made right noises but was tokenism in a few areas like social expenditure…thankfully nothing really adverse or anti poor though direct tax incentives are not really cause for any celebration

Sensex had quite a roller coaster ride today as to be expected….opening stable & pre budget speech at 25514 in the morning then sliding before noon over 300 points to 25117 from yesterday closing of 25445 during the budget speech before strongly racing away by over 700 points to 25920 …over 400 points previous day closing post budget speech only to reverse all the gains and close at 25373,down 72 points  from previous day closing

Will the Sensex continue to Humor us in the near term despite not an iota of Humor in the FM’s Speech !? …sense is that any correction will be a hiccup on the onward march towards 30000 on the back of increased FII Net Infows & Big Corporate Infra spending  

I see some clear big winners in the Infrastructure Space across the Board from Shipping to Power to SEZs to Real Estate to Highway Road Construction Companies and Pipeline Companies
