Hi, Dont you consider Promoter integrity and shareholder friendliness during your stock selection? IST ltd did not provide any dividend?
What is your exit strategy?
Also, Modison did not grow last few years. how it is fitting into value category. pl enlighten.
thx
Hi Karthik,
When I invest, I don't look at the exit strategy. Many of the stocks have given exit after many years of stagnant prices in the past. This include Dynemic Products which I bought at 23 first, going down to 14 and then today trading at 130. Similarly Sun TV remained in the range of 260 to 350 for almost 4 years before shooting and going to 800+ today.
Regarding modison metals, it is also a long term investment. I will put a post on it for valuation soon.
Many a times I had been wrong and had to average down. One such stock is Divi's lab which I started buying at 1000, then 785, then 635 and then finally at 545 to average value of 660 and current price is very near to that.
hi chinmay
can u pls tell us more on ur recent investment abbott india? u generally invest in undervalued stocks but this seems little bit uppper side of valuation front.
Yes Sonia. You are right on this one. This is not a value buy but more of a good company at fair price or rather a little bit more than fair price. I just took a small position to track. Recently pharma sector has seen a lot of hammering and I wanted to track some of them. The position is for that only and that is why I didn't publish any post for it.
