Sectors to watch : Metals & Oil

Astrologically, the time is good for the Metals and Oil sector. There could be hightened activity in these sectors for the next one or one and a half months. One can take a look at these sectors for the medium term.

Maadhav Granite & Realty Ltd. (Madhav Marbles)

I had initially started coverage of Maadhav Granite at the price of Rs. 90 with a BUY rating. Within approx. one month of my call, the stock raced to 161.5. Since then it retraced to 140 levels, where it spent quite a lot of time consolidating. The third quarter results are now out, and as expected, they are excellent. The EPS for nine months now stands at Rs.19 plus. The management is good and some new projects are on the anvil. It is a BUY with a target of Rs.250 in the medium to long term.

Important Information for every citizen

Received the following in my mailbox tonight. Thought I should share it with everybody:

"Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section "49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked andconvey the presiding election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone !!!!
Yes, such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O".

Why should you go and say "I VOTE NOBODY"... because, in a ward, if a candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received "49-O" votes more than 123, thenthat polling will be cancelled and will have re-polled. Not only that, but the candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on them.

This would bring fear into parties and hence they will have to look for genuine candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way, of our whole political system... it is seemingly surprising why the media and election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public.... please spread this news to as many asyou know... Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India... show your power, expressing your desire not to voteanybody, is even more powerful than voting... so don't miss your chance. So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info on... "

Astro Forecast for the period 15th Jan to 14th Feb

Beginning today, I'll post a monthly Astro forecast for all the 12 Moon signs. Note that the forecast is based on Moon Signs and not Sun Signs. If you don't know what your Moon sign is then you need to take a look at your birth chart (horoscope) and see in which zodiac sign is the Moon placed. That is your Moon Sign. Forecast for the period 15th Jan, 2007 to 14th Feb, 2007:

Aries - This is a bright month for you. You will be in high spirits as your income will be good and you will have many opportunities to socialize with friends. Friends will also be instrumental in furthering your career interests. You will have to take care of your health and some minor problems related to kids.

Taurus - The month begins on a high note with opportunities of intimacy with the opposite sex. Travel is also on the cards, which maybe for business and/or pleasure. Elderly people may have trouble with their knee(s). Beginning of Feb will open up new income avenues for you.

Gemini - Mars is stationed in your house of spouse this month, so avoid unnecessary arguments with your spouse/lover, as that might escalate into bigger trouble. It is also prudent to get a complete health check up done. If contemplating some major career or health related decision then it is better to postpone it for later.

Cancer - Saturn has returned to your sign in retrograde motion to conclude some nagging issues which have been pending for the last few months. Children will be a source of joy at the beginning of this month. There is also a possibility of romance from more than one quarters. You need to take things easy this month.

Leo - Issues about loans given or taken will come to the surface this month. Listen to your mother for guidance and comfort. Your mental abilities will be sharp and students will do well in their studies. A domineering attitude, specially inside your house, will not be in your best interests, so be a little more democratic.

Virgo - You will receive help and comfort from younger siblings this month. Property related matters will come to the fore. Children will keep you busy with their activities. Health of father may be a cause for concern. Investment in petro product companies may give short term profits.

Libra - The month may start with an income boost or sharp gains in your investments. You will be courageous and willing to take risks in all aspects of your life. New vehicle or new house/renovation of house will be on your agenda this month. Be careful that your bubbling enthusiasm does not become recklessness.

Scorpio - Not just this month, but this entire year will be a lucky year for you due to the benign influence of the magnanimous planet, Jupiter. The first part of this month can bring some great monitary gains. Planning for some journey may also take place now. Enjoy this rosy period.

Sagittarius - You will think and act like a leader. Even in your family gatherings, people would like to make you incharge. You will have a commanding personality this month, but be careful not to give too many orders to your spouse/partner. Some chronic ailment may resurface, so take good care of your health.

Capricorn - This is going to be a hectic month for you. Your place of residence or work will be buzzing with activity. Learn to delegate work, else you might not be able to handle all the work that's coming your way. You are likely to reap the financial gains of your old work/investments in the month of Feb.

Aquarius - Your expenses will be heavy this month. But it is some consolation that your income will also keep pace with your expenditure. You may plan for a pilgrimage or a religious ceremony. Old contentious issues or pending court cases may resurface in the coming months. Seek divine help.

Pisces - If you have children, they might be a cause for concern. Your luck is shining this month and you will do well in your business/career. You will gain from the advice of your younger brother or brother-in-law. You are likely to splurge the money you'll make in the earlier half of this month, in the latter half.

Astrology Forecasts

Friends,

Those of you who know me for a long time and have been familiar with the various astrology columns and weekly forecasts I used to write online, have requested that I start an Astrology column on this site too. So, giving respect to that request, I am thinking of starting something on Astrology and maybe a monthly forecast for all the zodiac signs and how their fortunes will be every month in the stock markets.

But such an effort will take up a lot of my time and then you must support this site by clicking on the google ad-links. In order to keep this site totally free, every visitor should atleast click 3-4 google ad-links daily. It will not cost you anything but it will keep this site running.

Sugar Sector Outlook

Sugar Sector has been in a downtrend for quite a long time now............approx six months. But let's not forget that this sector had gone up 4-6 times in the year before that. Being a commodity sector which is regulated by the government, the fortunes of this sector are mostly guided by the govt. policies. The lifting of ban on exports can revive this sector. Technically speaking, one can expect some kind of bottom being reached soon in this sector. The stocks which can be accumulated on falls are Bajaj Hindustan, Oudh Sugar, KCP Sugar.

One can start entering Bajaj Hindustan around 195-200, Oudh around 80-84 and KCP around 26. These can be good starting levels of entry in a staggered manner.

Cheers!

Dark Horse: Yash Management & Satellite

The future is Nanotech. It is believed that Nanotechnology will revolutionize the fields of Electronics, Medicine and Material sciences. Yash Management & Satellite is a Mumbai based media company which has now changed its operation profile.

Mr Anurag Gupta, Managing Director of Yash Mangement, confirmed that the company is indeed changing its operational areas completely. "We are dismantling the old business and the media content outfit is being hived off. Yash Management is now being shaped up as a joint venture with Cientifica, a global nano-tech research and consultancy services major. The new outfit is getting into contract research, consultancy and marketing of nano-technology related products," Mr Gupta said. At present, the company's nano-tech division - Yash Nanotech - is setting up a dedicated centre for contract research near Mumbai. "Immediately, we are starting research work in nano-tech in application areas of pharmaceuticals, paints and auto tyres for some of our clients," said Mr Gupta.

As a precursor to its collaborative research arrangement with IIT-Mumbai, Jawaharlal Nehru National Research Centre, Bangalore, and National Chemical Laboratory, three scientists have been inducted as advisors to Yash Nanotech. Visit www.yashnanotech.com for more info about the company.

PS: A strict stop loss of 12.50 was given

Market Outlook

The feeling that 2007 may be the year of mid-small caps is catching on among Stock Mkt players. There was a total disconnect between the price rise of Index stocks and Mid-Small caps in the year 2006, where only the Index heavy weights and a select few pockets of the market saw action.

Talking about near term outlook, I feel there may be a dip in the markets before the coming budget, so one must excercise caution. If at all a dip comes, it will be a good opportunity to accumulate undervalued mid-small caps. The index might be rangebound, while action will shift to underpriced mid-small caps. But for the full year, the outlook is bullish. It is my expectation that by the end of 2007, the index may scale 16000 plus levels.

Current Picks: Gupta Synthetics (bse)

Gupta Synthetics is a textile processing company having very strong fundamentals. First recommended by me at 118 levels, this stock ran upto 390 levels with a month and a half of my reco. Subsequently a 2 for 1 bonus was announced by the company, but since the record date was not informed, the stock corrected back to around 250 levels. The record date for bonus has been announced as 8th Jan, 2007 and the stock has started rising again after my second buy call. Currently at 309 levels, Gupta Synth is still trading at a PE of less than 5, leaving a great scope of appreciation. If the company continues to post good earnings figures consistently, a target of over 500 can very easily be achieved for the medium term investors. Visit the company's website: www.guptasynthetics.com for more information about the company.

Introduction

Does the name Superstar really need an introduction? I guess not if you have profited by following his calls on the moneycontrol website. Unlike stock tippers who come and go like flashes in a pan, Superstar has passed the test of time having been in the Indian Stock markets for nearly a decade. You have seen almost all of Superstar picks becoming Multibaggers. Investors who have been following the Superstar calls on moneycontrol over the last nearly five years will vouch for that. Some of the gems which were discovered by Superstar included Graphite India, CCL Products, KEC International, Sintex Industries, KCP Sugar, GE Shipping, IPCL, Kirloskar Oil, Shreyas Shipping, Gupta Synthetics, Plastiblends, Madhav Marbles, CESC, Today's Writings, CrewBos, Basant Agro, Adlabs, Prakash Industries, Garware Wall, KLG Systel and many many more have become MULTIBAGGERS since they were first discovered by Superstar.

This website is being created on the suggestion of many of Superstar's friends and clients so as to eliminate the dependence on the very unreliable moneycontrol site, where the admin keeps fiddling with the comments posted as per their vested interests. So, with the beginning of the new year 2007, let this be a new start in WEALTH CREATION for the individual investor, whether small or high networth. Amen.
