New mining bill

New mining bill

I am scratching my head here.
Whats the new mining bill for?

Share 26% of your profits with locals.
Great - atleast the locals and tribals will benefit.

But, here is where I scratch my head, what about the tax that they pay?
Why can't government use it to the benefit of the locals?

Must be something I have to dig up into.

So thanks to the new mining bill, stocks go one way --- DOWN
Coal India, Tata Steel, Sterlite.....you name it.
Would it have been a super idea to short these stocks (Derivatives) because most of us knew about this bill?

Would you now look at Coal India, Tata Steel and say "Slurp, this looks super inviting"?

Addendum - Sterling Hotels

Addendum - Sterling Hotels

In addition to my earlier post on Sterling Hotels, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala and Radhakrishna Damani have invested 800 mn INR.

http://www.indiainfoline.com/Markets/News/Sterling-Holiday-Resorts-up-after-Jhunjhunwala-invests-in-stake-reports/5254397841

Stock jumped close to 10% and was in upper circuit.

However, today it didn't hit a circuit.

Need to decide: Trust RJ and RD's judgement and make a splash?
I know I didn't for VIP and regretted ever since.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala...Radhakishan Damani...uh..how about both?

Radhakishan Damani - Dream investment was VST Industries.
Bought 26% (approx) @ price of 63 crores (source: moneycontrol)
Current Investment value: 520 crores in 10 years.
Dividend: 71 crores

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala - Dream Investment was Titan Industries.


Do these both have any stock in common?
Yes.

CRISIL, Delta Corp, Sterling Holday Resorts.
I had mentioned a post on Sterling Holiday resorts (http://mymoneyrules.blogspot.com/2011/08/holiday-season-resorts-beckoning.html)

What do they look for in a stock?
All stocks which have a competitive advantage.

VST Industries: Cigarette Industry with no new competition coming in
Delta: Gambling (highly lucrative + goa advantage)
Sterling Holiday: 14 resorts which a new competitor will have a tough time (courtesy high real estate prices)

We have to spot companies with strong fundamentals + competitive edge and hold them close to heart with patience.

Some just follow either Radhakishan Damani or Rakesh Jhunjhunwala

Some others, may follow both by buying the common stock from their portfolio.....are you one of them?

MRPL - Out of sight ... out of mind?

Can't write a lot on MRPL.

Go through following link....easy to understand why MRPL should be in the investment list.

http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/companies/article2296232.ece

The company is planning to expand the refinery to 300,000 bpd.
Current capacity is 194000 bpd.

MRPL‘s expansion will witness the refinery complexity rising from 5.5 to 9.
This will help in maximizing GRMs.

Whats your call?

CIL is # 1

CIL is # 1 in market cap.
It has dethroned RIL who had dethroned ONGC in 2007.

As of today, Reliance Industries' market cap stands at Rs 248,662.36 crore and that of Coal India stands at Rs 250,728.08 crore.

The world's largest coal miner had a production target of 460.5 MT for 2010-11, which was revised to 440.2 MT

What does this news mean?
It implies that with CIL being # 1 in the sensex, its weightage will increase and all index MF and ETF will have to purchase it as per norms.
Please correct me if I am wrong here.

See MF holdings:
http://www.moneycontrol.com/mf/user_scheme/mfholddetail_sec.php?sc_did=CI11

Many index funds are missing. They need to buy which implies stock will be in demand.

Whats the future?

According to NC Jha, CIL's products are sold @ 50% cheaper prices than imported coal.
If the coal is washed, the company can get better rates for their coal.
For this the company has planned for 20 washeries which will gradually come onstream in a couple of years.

Waheries news: http://www.constructionupdate.com/CMS/Newsletter/NewsFiles/39739.html

As per moneycontrol:

Coal India in Q1'12:
Maharatna firm Coal India reported a 64% jump in the consolidated net profit at Rs 4,143 crore for the first quarter ended June 30.
The company had posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 2,525 crore in the April-June period of 2010

This at 50% cheaper price. Imagine the extent when they sell washed coal!!!

Prediction?
From the look of it, this company has huge potential.
Its in my outlook for long term investment.

Time for a treat.....time for pizza....time to buy Jubilant Foodworks?

Time for a treat.....time for pizza....time to buy Jubilant Foodworks?

Jubilant Foodworks who runs Dominoes and soon may open Dunken Donuts has reported 40% growth.
Results: http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/jubilant-foodworks-ltd/profitandlose/companyid-16224.cms

Food inflation has led to price rise in costs of the pizza.
However, the growth seems to be increasing with price.

Do we see a time that folks stop pizza? Would you?
If yes, what will you replace it with?
Pizza, burgers best idea for treats?

Today they announced that soon they will come up with a new Pizza in the next 2 months.

If folks accept dunkin donuts with the same enthu as McDonalds etc.....
we are looking at zooming profits for lots of quarters to come.

Time to buy Jubilant Foodworks?

This stock could zoom provided they keep up with their competitors.... + food inflation.
