  • fairshare

    I too invested over 60% on hotel sector mainly on KHL which did not pay off highly. Now after the advise i got from such as MW,chinwi,DoctorJV and cse.see and many others, i realize and prefer to have more diversified portfolio.

    Right now i hold #RHTL, #Reef and #Khl as hotels and #Semb and #Atl for banking

    I was also able to collect a few of #NHL and #BFL and a few other stocks related to plantation and ect, etc, as well. So hopefully my move to a diversified portfolio would pay off since I'm more of a short term to mid term investor.

    since your a long term investor, I'm sure your portfolio would show BIG GREEN in future ( if it's not already :) )

    Cheers.

    Always brokers recomend the shares thats going on a rally once it started to go, sometimes the rallys comes on the reverse side.

    The #ATL does not have published 2010-03-10 statements, it's last statement is 31-12-2009, and 2009 yearly report. So it is not a good stock as it does not have issued any financials for this year.

  • [Updated] #BLUE RUN reply from MarketWatch, 1 Jul 10
  • There are so many indicators. It will start with unusual action, price and move at the beginning. Crowd become very active on the particular day. We have to sit all day in the front of the computer.

    When ATL went up to Rs.45 I told my community oriented friend to sell immediately.

    Hi W/B really we can make profit. However generally I do not like day trading and short term trading.

    Do you think we should do day trading in the future? We will lose more than earning. On the other hand, we are going against our strategy. Do you think we should be risky and speculative type of player in the market?

    Can you remember I said technical players if you are clever follow #ACAP and #ATL now.

    Thanks.

  • reply from you, 4 Mar 10 edit
    It is true #DIAL is not attractive fundamentally. They are making losses due to competition.

    Even last year I saw some positive movements, action and pattern for DIAL when it was trading around Rs.5/-. Then I posted Will DIAL break Rs.10/- . It went closer to Rs.10/- . Around Rs.9/. This time I did not not follow much. But just I glanced their action, pattern and movements. I think there is a possibility it can go to Rs.9 or will break Rs.10/- this time sooner than later. If they can reduce debt and if they can expand their market they will be able to keep their stock price above Rs.10/-. We have to keep eye on it during next five years.

    In the past, I mentioned about #SEMB as well. It could go up It went from Rs. 5 to Rs.15/-

    Currently #ATL has formed a pattern, action and movement similar to #SMLL. It went up from Rs. 12 to above Rs.40/-. Now trading around Rs. 42/-. #ATL has traded around Rs.100/- in the past.

    Pl note I like undervalued stocks with good future fundamentals. In addition, I look for forming pattern, movement, action, direction and major uptrend in these hidden value stocks.

    • Rise of other two stocks in the sector may be due to sister affects. May be there are other reasons as well.

    Players buy and sell due to some reasons. There should be some reason to buy.

    More positive news will give more bullish trend to the sector.

    Can we guess other peoples’ mind? Crowd will behave different way at different times.

    In case of #BFL has very good success story and they are number one farm company in Sri-Lanka and leader in the subgroup. They have great potential now. Their balance sheet is strong. They have less debt in their books. They have demand for their products both from local market and export market. They can expand their market and products further. They have innovative ideas.

    Currently they have attractive ROE. From next quarter onwards, it will improve further. It will become more and more undervalued. Currently it is trading P/E ratio of below the 8.

    It is one of the most attractive Farm stocks in the world (not only in ASIA but also globally).
    Where will you put your money during next 12 months? pPo

    Posted by me 7th November 2009

    Some of my favorite picks are: # COMB, #BFL, #LFIN, #GRAN # SPEN, #DOCK, #DFCC, #CFIN, #SAMP and #HNB

    Reasons for my selection: Management, Future Growth, Ability to make profits in the future, innovative ideas, ability to expand market share, ability to introduce new products and services in the future, increased demand for products and services, expected increase income due to North and East activities and tourism rebound.

    In addition, I like to follow stocks such as #HAYC #RCL

    However if fundamentals are going to become weak for a longer period then we should sell.

    What are your favorite stocks now? Thanks. Later I added #BALA as well when it was trading around Rs.20/- in November last year.

    • There is a success story for #BFL. It is number on Agri Food farm stock in Sri-Lanka.

    They made profits for last two financial years. Their earnings, turnover continuously increased last three quarters. Actually, they produced better than expected results during last three quarters. They have less debt.

    Now In addition to local market they have export market and tourist market as well. Keep eye on their future developments.

    Fundamentally, GRAN is not as strong as BFL. However, because of sister affects and some other reasons stocks such as #GRAN can go up.

    #ATL also can go up.

    Both GRAN AND ATL will have long-term prospects depend on how they are going to mange their business during next five years.

    If Jim Roggers and some other top investors decides to buy stocks, he will definitely go for Food companies with less debt, cheap value and potential. Therefore, companies such as #BFL and #BALA will come to his radar during next five years

    • If #BFL break Rs.60/- in the short run then #GRAN could break Rs.20/-

    Remember Gran traded above Rs.200/ and TAFL above Rs.51/-

    Therefore #BFL will break all above resistances levels during next five years. It is a s number one food farm compnay in Sri-Lanka

    Bairha Farms have concentrated on their core business very well. I don’t find any other Agri-Business stock have concentrated like this in Sri-Lanka.

    They took some timely action by disposing non productive sectors in the past

    I didn’t expect them to export their products so soon to the export market.

    They have valuable land in East part of Sri-Lanka and they are determined to develop their maize project there. Their land should be revalued now. In addition they have some valuable tree such as teak in their land.

    In addition they will introduce new products to the market. They have innovative ideas.
    • reply from MarketWatch, 11 Feb 10
    • We cannot take decision by looking at results of one quarter.

    There should be some pattern of consistency.

    In the recent past also GRAN went up to 16 with big turnover. There was a distribution at that time. And it came down back to around 13 levels. I don’ know how it will react this time.

    On the other hand #BFL went up slowly and systematically breaking all the resistance levels. Now it has arrived at an extremely bullish position due to fundamental and technical reasons. Once they announce their results it will become more and more attractive. Valuation will become more attractive. This is the time to look for cash cows.

    They will break all the records and resistance levels during next five years due to favourable environment for their business.

    Fortune GP Farm ventures into exports

    [4 February 2010] Sri Lanka's Fortune G-P Farms, an associate company of Bairaha Farms PLC, has ventured into the export market, with the export of two consignments of Parent Breeder Chicks to Nepal. The consignments consisted of 6,000 DOC. Until recently, 85% of Sri Lanka's annual requirement was imported, but now Fortune G-P Farms, has the capacity to supply nearly 50% of the local requirement. Bairaha is a vertically integrated poultry producer, engaged in all the aspects of breeding, production and processing with the exception of feed milling

    Bangladesh to import DOC and eggs

    [11 February 2010] Bangladesh has insisted that it will continue to allow poultry imports to ease the shortage in the country, but will not allow imports from India because of a fresh bird flu outbreak. Despite protests from local farmers, Bangladesh approved 17 traders in December, to import day-old-chicks (DOC) and eggs worth BDT 87.2 million (USD 1.25 million), saying the import was necessary to ease the shortage and high prices. The traders earlier planned to import DOC and eggs from India. New criteria however, states that poultry imports are allowed only from countries recognised by OIE to be free from the bird flu.

    • According to Rohit in his technical analysis, he has some trend for GRAN and TAFL.

    Always we should go for strong company, competitor in sub groups.

    Then there are other factors including less debt, strong balance sheet, innovative ideas and new developments etc.

    I think poultry sub group will have improved results in the current quarter. Next quarter will be better than current quarter.
    • reply from MarketWatch, 7 Apr 10
    • #BFL is not a crowded stock. It is a hidden gem.

    It will become real gem if they can maintain higher attractive ROE and if we see some new developments during next 12 months and next five years.

    Their next most important barriers are: Rs.47.75 and Rs.54/-

    Long term barrier is much higher.
    • reply from MarketWatch, 20 Apr 10
    • I always said that nobody cannot predict 100% correctly.

    We can see some fundamentals, future developments, pattern, themes, ideas, trend and action for some stocks time to time. We cannot identify bullish stock by looking at charts.

    We have to follow considerable period and spend time. In the mean times, we have to do some study as well because we do not get inside information, what sophisticated investors institutions and traders are doing etc.

    Charts are good for identifying current trend. Other than that, it is not that useful. Chartist cannot predict next great depression, market crash, market correction and next strong bull trend,

    We have to follow considerable period and spend time. In the mean times, we have to do some study as well because we do not get inside information, what sophisticated investors institutions and traders are doing etc.

    Every stock has different type of pattern. Some have very strong pattern. For example in the past #, KVAL appreciated similar to #BFL. It started from Rs.12, then it broker Rs.20, Rs.30, Rs.40 and Rs.50 barriers gradually. Finally it went up to Rs.78/-

    I thought when commodity market crash it will come down below .Rs.50/-. However, both #WATA #KVAL outperformed the market. Some said plantations stocks are not good for long-term investment. Even blue chips such as #JKH and #HHL came down to below Rs.60/-

    Once they release results, we should study about their ROE, CASH FLOW, and DEBT LEVEL ETC. Every time we see strong results, we have to upgrade their stock price now.

    One thing I want to tell you we must not chase any stock. There are pullbacks in strong market. Did you notice LFIN went from Rs. 40 to above Rs.50. Then it came back to Rs.43 level. Then there were some volatility. Finally broke and went above Rs.60 and stagnated for sometimes. Now it is trading around Rs.83/-

    #COMB, #SAMP, #JKH, #HAL,# HAYC, #HNB, #HASU, #COCO and #SPEN also had pattern and there were so many pull backs. Finally, all of above stocks broke some important barriers.

    It is better to study any stock before we decide to buy any stock. It is not too late to buy. Similarly it is not to high to buy and it is not too low to sell depend on the situation.
    But we must not buy wrong stock too late. Sell right stock too early.

    For example now we must study whether #HAYC is going to go to Rs.300/-. Now it is better than #JKH. For this, we should follow this stock. Without studying, we should not buy any stock suddenly.

    Both Hayles group and Richard Group should benefit from current low interest rate environment and positive business in plantations.

    When compare with cement, hotel and other overvalued and hot stocks we can see at least positive earning per share in companies in above groups, in BFL and plantations companies.

    When compare with cement, hotel, and other hot stocks BFL will have higher ROE, low p/e when compare with market, great value, great demand for their products, lower debt improved cash flow in their book once they release results in the future.

    We cannot see attractive financial ratios in cement and hotel stocks. However, hotel stocks with weak balance sheets are trading even above Rs.80/-.

    Finally so far #BFL broke two important barriers.

    Because of sister affects both #GRAN and TAFL can have some movements. Even Rohit see some movements in stocks such as DIAL, NHL, TAFL and GRAN

    • Pl remember I never give tips and recommendation to buy and sell stocks.

    I only give my ideas on some stocks. Just because members mention stocks here including me, we should not buy and sell stocks. . We should do some study. Sometimes we have to follow considerable period on stocks to buy and sell.

    In major up trends stocks will go up and in major down trends stocks will go down.

    There should be some reason to buy and sell stocks. For me both #BALA and #BFL very attractive due to some reasons.

    When #Dock was trading around Rs.120, some said it has extended and I was strong supporter for that price. It went up to Rs.300/-. Similarly, I saw potential for #SAMP in advance. Now I see greet potential for both #BALA and #BFL.

    It is not too high to buy and it is not too low to sell depend on the situation, fundamentals, great value and some other factors.

    Good Luck!

    • I think there will be powerful rally in poultry stocks and there is a potential to break following barriers.


    #GRAN can break Rs.27.50/-

    #TAFL can break Rs.15/

    And

    #BFL can break Rs.84.75/-. Their long term barriers are much higher.

    We have to closely watch the next most important barriers for #BFL

    Poultry group will have improved earnings in the next two quarters and #BFL will have attractive ROE. They will reduce their debt further.

    #BFL has three markets now.

    Local market including north and east
    Tourist Market- Next year going to be year of visiting Sri-Lanka. Those who live in abroad also will visit Sri-Lanka in 2011.
    Export Market

    Favorable Agri-Economic policy also will benefit Agri-Food companies. Export oriented companies and companies who create more job opportunities can get further benefits.

    Policy makers have identified value of food and beverage sector in Sri-Lanka.

    #BFL is number one Agri-Business/Food Farm Company with great growth potential in Sri-Lanka.

    Good luck!
  • [Updated] Good stock to buy reply from MarketWatch, 11 Jun 10
  • In the current market very good for IPOS, right issues, stock splits etc. Then know this the best time to raise capital. It looks likes now almost all the companies are going to split their stocks.

    Biggest gainers will be those who bought stocks before the announcement of splits.
    Today #VLL up. Other stocks such as #SUN, #ATL also went up this manner.

    I said some stocks could go up suddenly and go down suddenly

    There are few stocks such as #HOPL, #JINS and #TAFL can go up suddenly.

    This what I said on #DPL

    #DPL is one of the highly risky stocks in the CSE.

    Despite weak fundamentals in few occasions, #DPL went up from Rs.8 to Rs.18 several times Then it came down again below Rs.10/-

    Markets players should study these types of stocks very well and let sophisticated players to play this type of stock.

    We should know exactly when to fold and unfold.

    Pl study their export market, production cost and market for their products in the future.


    For Average investors and those who new to the market:

    Pl don’t chase stocks
    Do not buy overvalued stocks
    Do not buy highly risky stocks
    Do not buy penny stocks
    Do not buy hot stocks
    Avoid pump and dump stocks


    I think if we can see some improvements in the fundamentals, then we should think about buying #DPL at correct price and at correct time. We should keep under our radar for their future developments, new export orders and capital infusion etc.

    Sometimes volatility will happen once bad players try to play some stocks
    Once they leave those socks there will be steady rise in some stocks.

    For example, in the recent past after selling some stocks by top traders these stocks have appreciated by more than 100% and still these stocks are undervalued. Remember even top traders make mistake by selling some valuable stocks too early.

    Once some sophisticated players leave some companies their stock prices will go up systematically and gradually.

    Today trading #DPL low Rs.9/-. Now trading around Rs.13.25

    Always invest and trade in profitable companies and companies going to make profits in the future.

    Once I just escaped from losing by more than 50% recently after reading one post here. According to member he mentioned stock will go above Rs.50/- when it was trading around Rs.30/-. What I thought was company would make good profits in the future under the new management. I saw sudden weakness in stock prices and I took my 10% loss. Stock went down below Rs.17 within three weeks.

    What I learnt from here is that I should not get sudden decision when buying and selling stocks. We should never change our own successful investment and trading strategy.

    Even in major uptrend, we have to be carful in selecting stocks.


    Finally, I will ask you to buy a stock. Buy 100 shares of #HOPL. Pl keeps it for the next five years then you can post your experience to the forum. We can make profit from some stocks by following considerable period. It is not easy to identify extremely bullish stocks before market recognize them. We have to follow considerable period.

    Good luck.

Despite protests from local farmers, Bangladesh approved 17 traders in December, to import day-old-chicks (DOC) and eggs worth BDT 87.2 million (USD 1.25 million), saying the import was necessary to ease the shortage and high prices. The traders earlier planned to import DOC and eggs from India. New criteria however, states that poultry imports are allowed only from countries recognised by OIE to be free from the bird flu.

    • According to Rohit in his technical analysis, he has some trend for GRAN and TAFL.

    Always we should go for strong company, competitor in sub groups.

    Then there are other factors including less debt, strong balance sheet, innovative ideas and new developments etc.

    I think poultry sub group will have improved results in the current quarter. Next quarter will be better than current quarter.

    • #BFL is not a crowded stock. It is a hidden gem.

    It will become real gem if they can maintain higher attractive ROE and if we see some new developments during next 12 months and next five years.

    Their next most important barriers are: Rs.47.75 and Rs.54/-

    Long term barrier is much higher.

    • I always said that nobody cannot predict 100% correctly.

    We can see some fundamentals, future developments, pattern, themes, ideas, trend and action for some stocks time to time. We cannot identify bullish stock by looking at charts.

    We have to follow considerable period and spend time. In the mean times, we have to do some study as well because we do not get inside information, what sophisticated investors institutions and traders are doing etc.

    Charts are good for identifying current trend. Other than that, it is not that useful. Chartist cannot predict next great depression, market crash, market correction and next strong bull trend,

    We have to follow considerable period and spend time. In the mean times, we have to do some study as well because we do not get inside information, what sophisticated investors institutions and traders are doing etc.

    Every stock has different type of pattern. Some have very strong pattern. For example in the past #, KVAL appreciated similar to #BFL. It started from Rs.12, then it broker Rs.20, Rs.30, Rs.40 and Rs.50 barriers gradually. Finally it went up to Rs.78/-

    I thought when commodity market crash it will come down below .Rs.50/-. However, both #WATA #KVAL outperformed the market. Some said plantations stocks are not good for long-term investment. Even blue chips such as #JKH and #HHL came down to below Rs.60/-

    Once they release results, we should study about their ROE, CASH FLOW, and DEBT LEVEL ETC. Every time we see strong results, we have to upgrade their stock price now.

    One thing I want to tell you we must not chase any stock. There are pullbacks in strong market. Did you notice LFIN went from Rs. 40 to above Rs.50. Then it came back to Rs.43 level. Then there were some volatility. Finally broke and went above Rs.60 and stagnated for sometimes. Now it is trading around Rs.83/-

    #COMB, #SAMP, #JKH, #HAL,# HAYC, #HNB, #HASU, #COCO and #SPEN also had pattern and there were so many pull backs. Finally, all of above stocks broke some important barriers.

    It is better to study any stock before we decide to buy any stock. It is not too late to buy. Similarly it is not to high to buy and it is not too low to sell depend on the situation.
    But we must not buy wrong stock too late. Sell right stock too early.

    For example now we must study whether #HAYC is going to go to Rs.300/-. Now it is better than #JKH. For this, we should follow this stock. Without studying, we should not buy any stock suddenly.

    Both Hayles group and Richard Group should benefit from current low interest rate environment and positive business in plantations.

    When compare with cement, hotel and other overvalued and hot stocks we can see at least positive earning per share in companies in above groups, in BFL and plantations companies.

    When compare with cement, hotel, and other hot stocks BFL will have higher ROE, low p/e when compare with market, great value, great demand for their products, lower debt improved cash flow in their book once they release results in the future.

    We cannot see attractive financial ratios in cement and hotel stocks. However, hotel stocks with weak balance sheets are trading even above Rs.80/-.

    Finally so far #BFL broke two important barriers.

    Because of sister affects both #GRAN and TAFL can have some movements. Even Rohit see some movements in stocks such as DIAL, NHL, TAFL and GRAN

    • Pl remember I never give tips and recommendation to buy and sell stocks.

    I only give my ideas on some stocks. Just because members mention stocks here including me, we should not buy and sell stocks. . We should do some study. Sometimes we have to follow considerable period on stocks to buy and sell.

    In major up trends stocks will go up and in major down trends stocks will go down.

    There should be some reason to buy and sell stocks. For me both #BALA and #BFL very attractive due to some reasons.

    When #Dock was trading around Rs.120, some said it has extended and I was strong supporter for that price. It went up to Rs.300/-. Similarly, I saw potential for #SAMP in advance. Now I see greet potential for both #BALA and #BFL.

    It is not too high to buy and it is not too low to sell depend on the situation, fundamentals, great value and some other factors.

    Good Luck!

    • I think there will be powerful rally in poultry stocks and there is a potential to break following barriers.


    #GRAN can break Rs.27.50/-

    #TAFL can break Rs.15/

    And

    #BFL can break Rs.84.75/-. Their long term barriers are much higher.

    We have to closely watch the next most important barriers for #BFL

    Poultry group will have improved earnings in the next two quarters and #BFL will have attractive ROE. They will reduce their debt further.

    #BFL has three markets now.

    Local market including north and east
    Tourist Market- Next year going to be year of visiting Sri-Lanka. Those who live in abroad also will visit Sri-Lanka in 2011.
    Export Market

    Favorable Agri-Economic policy also will benefit Agri-Food companies. Export oriented companies and companies who create more job opportunities can get further benefits.

    Policy makers have identified value of food and beverage sector in Sri-Lanka.

    #BFL is number one Agri-Business/Food Farm Company with great growth potential in Sri-Lanka.

    Good luck!

  • This is what I wrote on #BFL, #GRAN and #TAFL ON 24TH February for another posting!
    • Rise of other two stocks in the sector may be due to sister affects. May be there are other reasons as well.

    Players buy and sell due to some reasons. There should be some reason to buy.

    More positive news will give more bullish trend to the sector.

    Can we guess other peoples’ mind? Crowd will behave different way at different times.

    In case of #BFL has very good success story and they are number one farm company in Sri-Lanka and leader in the subgroup. They have great potential now. Their balance sheet is strong. They have less debt in their books. They have demand for their products both from local market and export market. They can expand their market and products further. They have innovative ideas.

    Currently they have attractive ROE. From next quarter onwards, it will improve further. It will become more and more undervalued. Currently it is trading P/E ratio of below the 8.

    It is one of the most attractive Farm stocks in the world (not only in ASIA but also globally).
    Where will you put your money during next 12 months? pPo

    Posted by me 7th November 2009

    Some of my favorite picks are: # COMB, #BFL, #LFIN, #GRAN # SPEN, #DOCK, #DFCC, #CFIN, #SAMP and #HNB

    Reasons for my selection: Management, Future Growth, Ability to make profits in the future, innovative ideas, ability to expand market share, ability to introduce new products and services in the future, increased demand for products and services, expected increase income due to North and East activities and tourism rebound.

    In addition, I like to follow stocks such as #HAYC #RCL

    However if fundamentals are going to become weak for a longer period then we should sell.

    What are your favorite stocks now? Thanks. Later I added #BALA as well when it was trading around Rs.20/- in November last year.


    Innam posted GRAN and I replied on 10th Feb 2010.
    • There is a success story for #BFL. It is number on Agri Food farm stock in Sri-Lanka.

    They made profits for last two financial years. Their earnings, turnover continuously increased last three quarters. Actually, they produced better than expected results during last three quarters. They have less debt.

    Now In addition to local market they have export market and tourist market as well. Keep eye on their future developments.

    Fundamentally, GRAN is not as strong as BFL. However, because of sister affects and some other reasons stocks such as #GRAN can go up.

    #ATL also can go up.

    Both GRAN AND ATL will have long-term prospects depend on how they are going to mange their business during next five years.

    If Jim Roggers and some other top investors decides to buy stocks, he will definitely go for Food companies with less debt, cheap value and potential. Therefore, companies such as #BFL and #BALA will come to his radar during next five years

    • If #BFL break Rs.60/- in the short run then #GRAN could break Rs.20/-

    Remember Gran traded above Rs.200/ and TAFL above Rs.51/-

    Therefore #BFL will break all above resistances levels during next five years. It is a s number one food farm compnay in Sri-Lanka

    Bairha Farms have concentrated on their core business very well. I don’t find any other Agri-Business stock have concentrated like this in Sri-Lanka.

    They took some timely action by disposing non productive sectors in the past

    I didn’t expect them to export their products so soon to the export market.

    They have valuable land in East part of Sri-Lanka and they are determined to develop their maize project there. Their land should be revalued now. In addition they have some valuable tree such as teak in their land.

    In addition they will introduce new products to the market. They have innovative ideas.
    • reply from MarketWatch, 11 Feb 10
    • We cannot take decision by looking at results of one quarter.

    There should be some pattern of consistency.

    In the recent past also GRAN went up to 16 with big turnover. There was a distribution at that time. And it came down back to around 13 levels. I don’ know how it will react this time.

    On the other hand #BFL went up slowly and systematically breaking all the resistance levels. Now it has arrived at an extremely bullish position due to fundamental and technical reasons. Once they announce their results it will become more and more attractive. Valuation will become more attractive. This is the time to look for cash cows.

    They will break all the records and resistance levels during next five years due to favourable environment for their business.

    [4 February 2010] Sri Lanka's Fortune G-P Farms, an associate company of Bairaha Farms PLC, has ventured into the export market, with the export of two consignments of Parent Breeder Chicks to Nepal. The consignments consisted of 6,000 DOC. Until recently, 85% of Sri Lanka's annual requirement was imported, but now Fortune G-P Farms, has the capacity to supply nearly 50% of the local requirement. Bairaha is a vertically integrated poultry producer, engaged in all the aspects of breeding, production and processing with the exception of feed milling

  • [Updated] Losses reply from MarketWatch, 13 May 10
  • Nobody cannot predict in the short run. If I can predict I can beat all players in the market.

    I can give some examples:

    Some banks suddenly passed the barrier of Rs.200/-. Then I talked about #CFIN when it was trading below Rs.250/. Now it is trading around Rs.400/-

    Once I posted technical players if you are clever watch #ATL and #ACAP.

    Both LFIN and HASU went up passing Rs.50/- Then they came to around Rs.40 level. After that both went up above Rs.60/-. More than 50% return.

    If players cannot get at least more than 18% return, they should go to treasury bills and bond. Do not go to any other asset specially city property and gold in ASIA

    In CSE sometimes, fundamentally weak stocks will have great run.

    First, we should have our own successful strategy. If you buy right stock you will not have problems in selling, We must never sell some stocks. We must take, as it is our business. Have a time horizon. Think about future earnings. Some will have unbelievable cash flow in the future. They will have to expand their business rapidly during next five years.

    Remember some companies will have some of the greatest opportunities in their business life during next five years.

    If we our job has done correctly when a common stocks is purchased, time to sell it is almost never.

    Stocks are not too high to buy and not too low to sell

    Pl read my previous post in this forum. I will talk about groups instead of stocks in the future.

    In 2011 and 2012 there will be severe competition in Insurance group and Finance Group. Some new players will emerge as strong competitors in the future. Therefore, we should have strategy to identify best in the lots. Some will lose their business to new comers in the industry due to their financial strength and marketing strategy.

    •
    It is true #DIAL is not attractive fundamentally. They are making losses due to competition.

    Even last year I saw some positive movements, action and pattern for DIAL when it was trading around Rs.5/-. Then I posted Will DIAL break Rs.10/- . It went closer to Rs.10/- . Around Rs.9/. This time I did not not follow much. But just I glanced their action, pattern and movements. I think there is a possibility it can go to Rs.9 or will break Rs.10/- this time sooner than later. If they can reduce debt and if they can expand their market they will be able to keep their stock price above Rs.10/-. We have to keep eye on it during next five years.

    In the past, I mentioned about #SEMB as well. It could go up It went from Rs. 5 to Rs.15/-

    Currently #ATL has formed a pattern, action and movement similar to #SMLL. It went up from Rs. 12 to above Rs.40/-. Now trading around Rs. 42/-. #ATL has traded around Rs.100/- in the past.

    Pl note I like undervalued stocks with good future fundamentals. In addition, I look for forming pattern, movement, action, direction and major uptrend in these hidden value stocks.

    DIAL - Investors Getting Back In

    • Different stocks will trade large volume at different times.

    Did you notice stocks such as #ATL; #LVEN did not have volume of more than 3000 per day in the past. Hotels stock also the same. In the past stocks such as EDEN, STAF did not have even turnover of 2000 per day. Then stocks such as TAFL, GRAN did not have much volume like now. Today they have volume of even more than 100,000 per day.

    Some stocks will have low volume in some period. These stocks suddenly can go up with large volume. It is same for both #KVAL and #MASK. In some days, they have low volume and in some days, they have higher volume with higher prices.

    There is a pattern, movements, action for stocks. From these actions, we can identify some of the extremely bullish stocks without looking at technical charts, and fundamentals. However, we must never forget fundamental factors.

    Didn’t we notice some action, movements and pattern in stocks such #ATL, #GRAN and #SERV in the reason past.

    Even I noticed similar actions when #SEMB went up from Rs. 5 to Rs.15 within the short period and when #DIAL went up from Rs.5 to Rs. 9 last time.

    I can see now there are few extremely bullish stocks are fighting between bull and bears. They will beat these bears and will pass all resistance levels in the future.

    Then in some other over valued stocks, bear will take lead over bulls due to issuing of more shares recently.

    This is the time to identity stocks similar to #NESTLE, #SOY, #KVAL and #WATA in advance.

    All above stocks are belongs to food and hot brewage sector.
  • [Updated] #ATL (Amana) Split..... reply from MarketWatch, 1 May 10
  • Average investors with lack of knowledge in financial instruments and those new to the market should not trade stock issuing more and more right issues, warrant and stocks with subdivision and splits.

    We should have good understanding about stocks, their splits, value, market trend, stock trend, action, pattern in addition to fundamentals.

    I will post special reports on poultry group and Finance and insurance sub group later.

    Remember in bull markets stocks will go up. In bear market, stock will go down.

    We have to analyse value and future prospects before buying any share.

    I am very surprise about this unusual price move and why it went up so rapidly.

    I am thinking whether some players are trying to beat GREG and other hot stock players.

    I will write special report on insurance and finance sector in due course.

    In short, it is better to play stocks when they become tortoise stocks.

    We have to be careful when some stocks go up in big margin suddenly.

    #ATL went up to Rs.45/. My advice to my friend was Sell! Sell and Sell when it was coming below Rs.40/-. Today it is trading around Rs.29/-

    We should never buy on fake rally. Some traders are trying to put up prices irresponsibly.

    We should avoid stocks with warrants, more right issues and stocks with splits and subdivisions now. Pl pays attention to value and future fundamentals.

    I heard from some friends according to their Sharia law Islamic banks cannot speculate on commodities, currencies, interest rate etc. They have a system of profit sharing and they should not follow convention-banking model. Their investment should be on long-term basis, environment friendly and socially responsible.

    According to them, Islamic banking has become popular among all ethnicity in some countries due to their interest free dealings. Some say Islamic banking will become more and more popular in the future due to break of confidence in the conventional banking system.

    However, there are criticisms that some Islamic banks and insurance companies are following same instruments in a different name similar to instruments in the banking sector.

    In shorts in major uptrend, any stock can go up and in major down trend stocks will go down.

    Time to time there will be group oriented major up trends. Now we are seeing in the plantations group. Next, we will have powerful rally in poultry sub group due to positive outlook and strong performance of #BFL

    We had strong bull trend for Banking and Finance, Ceramic group.

    Now even we see strong uptrend in remaining undervalued stocks in some other sectors and speculative stocks.

    Finally, tortoise will win in 2010 and 2011.

    Best investment strategy: Invest and trade in tortoise stocks, which are going to outperform market in 2010 and 2011.

    Good luck.

    It is surprise to price movement on #ATL. I mentioned this stocks in my list last year. My friend must be happy now. He bought some #ATL.

    Fundamentally, these stocks are not attractive. Generally, I will think twice before buying these types of stocks.

    In case of ATL, they have some good investment in the following companies:

    #VVL is a power company.( 4rht largest shareholder according to 30/09 2009 results)
    #STAF (5th largest shareholder)

    I like to study some other companies as well to find out investment of #ATL.

    In addition, #BFL has selected as one of their banks for their business dealings.

    I think they may have some lucrative investment in other companies as well. Therefore, there will be some long-term potential in #ATL addition to attractive capital gain. They must be having attractive capital gain now. We have to some study once they release their results now.

    We have to keep eye on this company now. It can become anther-hidden gem

    • Technical traders and momentum traders Keep eye on some stagnated stocks as well. We can see some movement in both #ACAP and #ATL now. #ATL can go up rapidly just as #SEMB.

    Do not buy any stocks at the top. Generally investors and traders do not buy stocks when they are trading around Rs.15/-. Once they pass around Rs.30/- everybody is trying to buy and finally stocks will end up with passing Rs.50/-. Sometimes it will reach to Rs.90 level until it becomes over priced.

  • Hi Rohit Thank you for your answer..

    By the way, Rohit, What is the price you are looking for #JKH, #DIAL and #KHL next week? I am bullish on #JKH and #DIAL next week. If it is not ex- right day #KHL will break Rs.20 on Monday.

    Next week is very crucial for me

    Generally retail investor s do trading in most of the stocks in your list. High net worth individuals will trade in some selected stocks in the list. Still I haven seen rapid rise in stock prices in some stocks in your list. They should go up in the future.

    Some are highly speculative stocks and they can go up suddenly. #SOY in your list had a some success story. That is why it went up from Rs.12 to Rs.145 yesterday.

    Hotel stocks such as EDEN and PALM have included in your list. However, I did not see another stock with high demand #STAF in your list. What is the reason for this? You have missed plenty of best stocks available in the CSE.

    .Rohit to get profit (quick buck as you said) from your list in the short run, average investors should have above average knowledge about the market. Recently I said those who have experience and knowledge would have edge over others.

    I identified stocks in your list such as #ATL, #GRAN before their recent rise in stocks prices from their action and unusual movements.

    Believe or not CSE has some attractive stocks. In the same times, there are stocks with bearish trend. Particularly some momentums stocks including some hotel and cement stocks will come down before they go up again.

    My investment call is not for penny stocks, stocks with over extended P/E ratios, overvalued stocks, weak balance sheets (including future), and hot stocks. Stocks, which are going to stagnate, bearish stocks, pump, and dump stocks.

    My investment call is for strong balance sheets now and future, less debt or no debt, potential for more than 10 baggers, stocks that are going to appreciate systematically and gradually, stocks that are massively undervalued, neglected and overlooked attractive value stocks etc.

    My investment call is for future winners. I have seen experienced and powerful companies always invest and trade in future winners. It is happening even now. They didn’t buy #hayc at Rs.200. They bought below Rs.100/-. Similarity during last quarter they bought some future winners and even now, they are buying stocks with great potential and future winners.

    Investors should identify just like food and hot brewage stocks such as #SOY, #NEST, #KVAL and #WATA in advance. These investors will be the biggest winners during next two quarters, next 12 months, and next five years. Traders should rotate their overvalued stocks with undervalued stocks now.

    Diversifies sector is fairly valued
    Hotel, cement, power and hospital sectors are over valued
    Banking and Finance, Plantations, property sectors and some other subgroups are undervalued
    Some stocks are massively undervalued
    Some stocks are over valued

    For the moment, stocks should be selective in property sector.

    As I said earlier, always there will be group and sector oriented bull market during next 10 years. Some period some sectors and groups will outperform others. I am expecting two sectors and one group to outperform market during next three months, next 12 months.

    Did you notice globally some special stocks are outperforming market even during volatility and down market? Some neglected outstanding transport and restaurant stocks.
    They missed excellent opportunities. Instead, they went for gold.

    Then globally some tea stocks appreciated more than 200%. Sri-Lanka is still in the initial stage in the tea sector.

    We should keep records of some outstanding stocks during next three months, next 12 months and next five years.

  • #KHL went up too fast.
    But it came down too fast too.
    This can persist in #TOWD & #CSEC & #ATL like shares
    But not in #JKH , #CARS , #NEST , #COMB , #DIAL or #KHL,
    They will be going up again soon.
    People who buy on credit will sell today But it will not happen tomorrow.
    Buy today when they are trying to get out.
    Then you can catch a bluechip very cheaply!

  • Different stocks will trade large volume at different times.

    Did you notice stocks such as #ATL; #LVEN did not have volume of more than 3000 per day in the past. Hotels stock also the same. In the past stocks such as EDEN, STAF did not have even turnover of 2000 per day. Then stocks such as TAFL, GRAN did not have much volume like now. Today they have volume of even more than 100,000 per day.

    Some stocks will have low volume in some period. These stocks suddenly can go up with large volume. It is same for both #KVAL and #MASK. In some days, they have low volume and in some days, they have higher volume with higher prices.

    There is a pattern, movements, action for stocks. From these actions, we can identify some of the extremely bullish stocks without looking at technical charts, and fundamentals. However, we must never forget fundamental factors.

    Didn’t we notice some action, movements and pattern in stocks such #ATL, #GRAN and #SERV in the reason past.

    Even I noticed similar actions when #SEMB went up from Rs. 5 to Rs.15 within the short period and when #DIAL went up from Rs.5 to Rs. 9 last time.

    I can see now there are few extremely bullish stocks are fighting between bull and bears. They will beat these bears and will pass all resistance levels in the future.

    Then in some other over valued stocks, bear will take lead over bulls due to issuing of more shares recently.

    This is the time to identity stocks similar to #NESTLE, #SOY, #KVAL and #WATA in advance.

    All above stocks are belongs to food and hot brewage sector.
  • [Updated] #GRAN reply from MarketWatch, 6 Mar 10
  • Innam I got the idea. Current group earning should be 1.02. There is some improvement in the earnings.

    Nine months ending 30/09/209 results was 1.52. According to your posting Earnings per share is for 12 months. 2.57. Therefore, current quarterly results should be around 1.02. Am I correct?

    It look likes some traders and investors have some interest on stocks such as both #ATL, GRAN and #DIAL now.

    Interest thing is both GRAN and DIAL have huge debt in their books.

    However, future may be good for them. We never know. In the long run, they will try to reduce their debt in their book. They will have some opportunities.

    Their sister company Three Acre Farms has not done well. However, they are looking for long-term opportunities and growth. Further, they expect increased tourist arrival and country situation as a positive sign.
  • [Updated] #DIAL reply from MarketWatch, 4 Mar 10
  • It is true #DIAL is not attractive fundamentally. They are making losses due to competition.

    Even last year I saw some positive movements, action and pattern for DIAL when it was trading around Rs.5/-. Then I posted Will DIAL break Rs.10/- . It went closer to Rs.10/- . Around Rs.9/. This time I did not not follow much. But just I glanced their action, pattern and movements. I think there is a possibility it can go to Rs.9 or will break Rs.10/- this time sooner than later. If they can reduce debt and if they can expand their market they will be able to keep their stock price above Rs.10/-. We have to keep eye on it during next five years.

    In the past, I mentioned about #SEMB as well. It could go up It went from Rs. 5 to Rs.15/-

    Currently #ATL has formed a pattern, action and movement similar to #SMLL. It went up from Rs. 12 to above Rs.40/-. Now trading around Rs. 42/-. #ATL has traded around Rs.100/- in the past.

    Pl note I like undervalued stocks with good future fundamentals. In addition, I look for forming pattern, movement, action, direction and major uptrend in these hidden value stocks.

  • We have to keep on eye on stocks such as #ATL and #ECL during next four quarters.

    #ATL has reduced their losses remarkably. I think they will make profits in the future.

    Future earnings are more important than past.
  • [Updated] #GRAN reply from MarketWatch, 10 Feb 10
  • There is a success story for #BFL. It is number on Agri Food farm stock in Sri-Lanka.

    They made profits for last two financial years. Their earnings, turnover continuously increased last three quarters. Actually, they produced better than expected results during last three quarters. They have less debt.

    Now In addition to local market they have export market and tourist market as well. Keep eye on their future developments.

    Fundamentally, GRAN is not as strong as BFL. However, because of sister affects and some other reasons stocks such as #GRAN can go up.

    #ATL also can go up.

    Both GRAN AND ATL will have long-term prospects depend on how they are going to mange their business during next five years.

    If Jim Roggers an d some other top investors decides to buy stocks, he will definitely go for Food companies with less debt, cheap value and potential. Therefore, companies such as #BFL and #BALA will come to his radar during next five years.

  • We have to keep eye on some attractive secondary stocks as well.

    I feel stocks such as #BALA, #BFL and #ATL will appreciate rapidly in the near future.

    Both #BALA and #BFL will appreciate rapidly due to great value, prospects, fundamental and technical reasons. If momentum traders identify these stocks, there will be strong rally in these two stocks.

    In the meantime, we can expect some upside potential in selected blue chips including #NDB and #DFCC.

  • Technical traders and momentum traders Keep eye on some stagnated stocks as well. We can see some movement in both #ACAP and #ATL now. #ATL can go up rapidly just as #SEMB.

    Do not buy any stocks at the top. Generally investors and traders do not buy stocks when they are trading around Rs.15/-. Once they pass around Rs.30/- everybody is trying to buy and finally stocks will end up with passing Rs.50/-. Sometimes it will reach to Rs.90 level until it becomes over priced.
  • [Updated] Among following stoc... reply from MarketWatch, 5 Dec 09
  • I was able to identify market trend for these stocks and then I posted above question in June to get more information from other members as well

    MBSL appreciated rapidly even it went above Rs.30 and recently it came down due to issue of new shares. I do not see much value in this stock now and we have to watch their medium and long-term trend now.

    Both #SERV and #BFL also traded around Rs.20/- recently.

    A result of GRAN is not that impressive in the current quarter and we have to monitor their medium term and long-term growth now.

    There is a rumor that #SERV will sell their holding to foreign investors before January. Stock prices of Companies targeted for acquisition could go up.

    #ATL has not released their current result yet. I think there will be long-term value in this stock. It mainly depends on the demand for their products in the future and how they going to make profits in the future.

    Out of all #BFL has very good balance sheet, less debt. They announced above average and better than expected results in the current quarter as well. They have become leader in their sub group now. They have better cost control system .Demand will pick up in the future due to demand from tourism industry. We should follow this stock during next five years. This is really a hidden gem in the CSE.

    In short, it is an undervalued and overlooked stock in the CSE. It is an A grade poultry stock in the CSE.

    Factors to consider when investing in #BFL

    If you compare with some related companies #BFL has good ratios and less debt. They reported increased profits for the last three quarters as well.

    Their net asset per share: Rs.30.77, Six months earning per share: 2.34

    GRAN: Net asset per share 23.81, Nine month earning per share: Group 1.52:

    CIC: Three months earnings per share: around 0.31 per share, Six months around 1.41

    Few Institutional institutions also have become major shareholders of #BFL now.
    Future growth and earnings
    Tourism rebound
    Latest positive developments
    Business expansion
    New markets
    Innovative ideas
    New sub products including Maize project
    Better cost control system
    Other positive factors including less risk than in the past.
    Lower interest rate

    In addition to #BFL keep on eye on #BALA now. These two companies announced better than expected and above average results in this quarter. Future earnings are more important than past earnings.

    I think these two Bs will outperform market sooner than later.
  • [Updated] Can we expect sidewa... reply from MarketWatch, 22 Nov 09
  • I think market timing will lose great opportunities. Different stocks will go up and down, appreciate and depreciate at different times. It all depends on the type of investor and trader. Some see great value in some stocks now. There are bull stocks in side way and falling markets.

    Eg: When SMLL was trading around Rs.12/- many did not want to invest when market was falling and when there was uncertainly (except few investors) Now it is trading around Rs.40/-.

    SEYB(X) was trading around Rs.8/- when market is falling and in sideway markets. . Now trading around Rs. 16/-

    Recently even some experienced investors invested in #ATL, #NDB, #DFCC, #DOCK and in few banks, finance, plantations stocks and food processing (agri-business) etc. I do not think they will just invest unless they see future value and growth.

    In addition, we cannot time to buy some sectors and those sectors can go up suddenly.
    Plantation is one such sector. We can expect higher tea prices due to global tea shortage from next month onwards. Therefore, some tea companies will benefit most.

    I think #BFL, #DOCK and #BALA will be able to announce better than expected results during next two quarters. They already announced better than expected and above average results in the current quarter. I can see great value in above three stocks now.
    Their balances sheets are strong when compare with their competitors. We can expect dividend as well.

    #NDB and #DFCC also doing well. Finance companies will benefit most due to lower interest rate. We have to keep eye on #LFIN #CFIN, #HAYC and other undervalued banking stocks as well.

    I think above companies and some hotel stocks should be in our portfolios during next 10 years. Some of the companies will have biggest growth in their business life during next five years. If we see long-term fundamentals are going to become weak then we should sell.

    In case of diversified companies, we should apply rotating investment strategy time to time during next 10 years. Some years some will do well and while some will have less impressive years. We should follow value approach when we buy diversify companies and we should sell them when they do over diversifications in the future. .

    In short, it is better to invest in massively undervalued stocks, overlooked stocks currently making good profits and going to make profits in the future.

    On other words, this is the time to invest in massively undervalued stocks with great potential.

    It all depends on what type of investor/trader you are:
    If you have very good knowledge about insurance then you should think about buying stocks in the insurance sector.

    Remember in every sector that there will be some sort of risk as well. There are no 100% risk free assets, stocks or commodities. These can go up and down. Depend on so many factors.

    It is good that you have identified that some insurance stocks have over extended and have become overpriced.

    Remember do not depend on too much on other peoples recommendations. It is better if you do your homework as well. There should be valid reason to buy and sell stocks. Just because when I mention stocks to watch do not buy straight away. It is better to do some study. Always think about future earnings and growth. Invest in undervalued next rotating sectors and hidden companies now.

    Successes of #ATL depend on how they are going to improve their business while adhering to Islamic principles. It is true there will be many opportunities for their products. They should take long-term approach rather than short-term profit.

    #SEMB(X) was trading below 0.30 cents. Now it is trading around Rs.1/-. I think #SEMB and #DIAL will pass Rs.10/-.
    In my earlier answer I said #DIAL will go to Rs.10/.- Even I mentioned #ATL in my list.

    Momentum traders and in investors are very active now. Therefore still, there are stocks to go up

    #LITE will go above Rs.10/-

    However, few hidden companies will make good profit, growth and currently massively undervalued. Some them have very attractive return on equity, earning per share etc

  • [Updated] Amana Takaful (#ATL)... reply from innam, 5 Oct 09
  • #JINS already makes profits while #ATL is currently making losses. But #ATL has lots of potential in an economic boom situation. If you prefer a low risk investment then #JINS is a good buy but if you don't mind a high risk/ high return strategy then you should buy #ATL.
    #JINS has lots of competition in traditional insurance but #ATL is the market leader in selling islamic insurance products which can have a lot of demand from the Eastern province. So #ATL is riskier but it has better prospects. What you should buy depends on your appetite for risk but right now looking at the market #ATL looks a better buy than #JINS.
