Friends,

From the fundamental angle the stock prices spend more time remaining
deviated from the mean and the fair value than reflecting
them.Therefore there is a good chance that we may catch the price of
an stock on the wrong sideat a point far too deviated and turn it in
to advantage by an appropriate action(by getting out of the over
priced ones and getting in to undr priced ones).Panch-Tttva system
enable you in this on an on going basis. There ia another reason for
the eskewed behaviour of the stock market as the risingprices do not
necessarily bring the demand for the stock down and the reducing
prices do not necessarily bring in higher demand. the efficient market
theory therefore looses importance somewhat and the Picher and Parket
put forth a new theory where mood of the majority is responsible
factor in the movements. While this theory has some thing to tell, we
also have seen that the irrationality of the market corrects with
vengence.

National average price of cement was Rs200/- in July 06 and stands at
Rs230/- in July 07 . The cement industry has benefitted , no doubt,
but it has had to take care of the costlier inputs too.

RBI Governer Reddy will have in mind the US Fed action of last week
while he is concerned with the inflation rates too which stand lower
at 3.32%.ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank have cut rates on loans for car and
house purchases by a bit. There is some slow down in retail loan
market. Car loans have not picked up inspite of rise in car sales
(+13%) over last year. There is a message in it and we should take it.

Tata Motors ahve been filing applications for patents in a big way and
they have been given OK for 17 patents.

F&O section has had a good turn over and the open interest  went past
Rs. 1.02 lac crs during the week.

The Govt. is slated to issue oil bonds worth Rs12 K Crs while the
total liability in this respect is Rs24K Crs. The under recovery in
oil prices is of the order of Rs55K crs during the last year and is to
be shared by Govt.(th Oil Bonds) , up stream companies and the oil
marketing companies.

Arcelor Mittal crosses $ 100 billion in market capitalisation and this
makes it the first stell company to achieve this .

Apparel export were $ 8 billion last year and may not clock this much
in current year. Rising ruppe is taking its too and would be affecting
the jobs in this sector badly.

The following is the list of major investors in US Treasury Securities:

JAPAN         $610b
CHINA          $407 b
UK                $210 b
Oil Exporters  $123 b
BRAZIL         $104 b
(Rest are below $100b mark and India hold $12.9b of it only)

The China’s investment figure are really astounding and the currency
parity is going to be a contentious issue between China and US , today
or tommorow.

India Inc favours 30% land aquisition by the Govt. for the SEZs and
other projects . The Govt. and Industry are in the process of finding
ways in which the land aquisition may be done under a laid down policy
. I think in all fairness why not let the land seeker first take up to
51% themselves through the open negotiated purchases and after this is
achieved rest may be aquired by the govt. at the highest price paid by
the enterpreneure .

Car makers are offering good discounts for the pushing the car sales upwards.

The white goods demand is at a low ebb in US, almost down 5% over last year.

DLF is the forth largest realty company worldwide in term of market
capitalisation but has PE pof 58 times, the highest amongst all
biggies.

Sugar Industry may be given interest free loans equal to excise duty
paid in 06-07 and 07-08 , which would be returnable in subsequent
three years .

The last week has seen bull run take the sensex past 17000 and Nifty
past 500 mark. This calls for a very serious study about what may be
in store. This , however, seems to be an action with a message that
the coming years would be a turbulent one and would make the investor
confused.

Friends,

Please find below tha post result panch-tattva points for PENTALOON ::

PENTALOON @526(270907) gets 644 pts and I therefore can not suggest

Friends,

Std and Poor have warned that the highly levraged US companies may
default in loan repayment. S&P head John Bilardello said that 50 pts
cut in rates may spur economy a bit but full blown out debt crisis may
still emerge , like in 2001-02 when $250 b worth of corporate bonds
defaulted. Now , companies with ‘B’ and lesser rating form 40% of the
US universe of outstanding debt(it was 35% a decade back). Financier
Wilbur Ross has predicted a rise in corporate bankrupcies. Allen
Greenspan, the former Fed Chief, says that double digit fall in house
prices would be unprecedented in US history and would trigger a much
worse crisis than sub-prime crisis. Experts say that 15% fall in house
prices would wipe out $3000b of the household wealth. I have a feeling
that worst of the economic times  may visit world before
long.Residential real estate with aggregate value of $21000 b is the
single largest component of wealth for most households, says Alex
Pollock, an scholar. I think that financial doses do not correct the
basic cause of affliction but only postpone the effect which in
combination with other new factors or with accentuation of the first
affliction may force into an unmanageable situation. I am against the
measure taken by the US Fed now and earlier to calm the market by
raising rates.The vatary of free economies should wash its hands off
the fixation of interest rates and let the economies borrowers and
lenders decide about it . You don’t get under the hood of the car to
steer it.

Friends,

Lets have the feel of the of the business environment by going through
the relevent news over the past week.

Mukesh Ambani may have some stake in Mumbai International Airport
(MIAL) along with GVK group.RIL group may help them bid for the new
airport in Navi MUmbai, Mukesh is haviung interest due to his SEZ in
Navi Mumbai. Finger in every pie is not a good policy but the lucky
Ambani brothers have not had the luck run out to make them learn it.

TRAI may ensure the broad band networking and wiring at the
building stage for the new realty projects with the help of
municipalities. Not a bad idea and should be immediately followed by
builders on their own.

RILs gas pricing formula , approved by govt. recently , would apply to
all natural gas producers. This means a floor price of $2.5 per unit
and linkage to benchmark crude  (Brent) will remain the basis of
prising while the biddable component may still very from contract to
contract for future projects.

Equity and equity linked offering in Asia have totalled $177 b so far
in 2007, up from $131 b last year despite a drop off in Japan. Any new
development  deepening the sub-prime crisis would dent the new
offering the world over.

The super regulators ie YV Reddy, CS Rao and M Damodaran of RBI, IRDA
and SEBI respectively would retire/complete the term by 2008.

Life Insurance Companies can not out source their fund management work
as per IRDA guideline and hence there would be consistancy in returns
and approach. They would adhere to pre-defined norms on risk and
generally have a long term view. The most ctritical norm for
investment manager of the insurance companies is that it is process
driven with adequate stress on risk management.

Debt-equity ratio for the Indian companies has come down , part of
this comes from servicing ease of borrowing due to low interest rates
and growing profits enabling them have surpluses. It has come down
from 100% to almost 35% over more than a decade’s period.Since the
leveraging is low now then why there is so much expectation in the
market of the share prices going through the roof. It is only when the
leveraging is high and the fortunes have turned for better that the
markets expect the moon. The run up since 2003 is the reflection of
this phenonmenon but it is not the case any more.

Outsourcing firms here are prunning staff here also who have the
connection with US markets , due to the fall out of the sub-prime
crisis. Indian outsourcing firms are fanning out to China,
Phillipines,Vietnam and Kenya in a bid to remain competitive.

Ownership by foreign entities in India Inc is at 22% v/s 12% in March
2001 . Foreign owned portfolios stand at $193b. The big 500 firms have
key owners govt/promoter(54%),Fiis/ADRs/GDRs (22%), MFs (4.3%),,
Insuranc/others institutions (5.5%) and public (10%). Let us see who
of the present big stake holders takes the profits out first as the
rest would suffer due to increased availability of stocks which keep
floating in market and keep it supressed. I think the FIIs would once
again have the benefit of moving out first when the going is no more
expected to be as rosy as in the recent past. The dollar weakness may
prompt them to do so even earlier than expected.

Indian Hotels group may aquire 10% stake in Orient Exp. Hotels at $211
m , which has 39 top end hotels around the world and has revenues of
$511m. Indian Hotel is slated to increase the room inventory to 19000
rooms from 9000 rooms. Trading at 129/- at 16 PE it is a good bet.

World market capitalisation stood at $55623b  on 18th sept 07 (India’s
share 2.06%)

Bench mark 10 yr yield has come down to 7.87 %

India has become global auto component hub and even supplies fake
components to the world’s markets.

ONGC board has given indication about the the split or bonus shares in
near future with a view to enabling small investors investing in
companies shares.STC is also considering bonus issue in ratio of 1:1.

Four new express highways between Delhi-Agra, Delhi-Meerut,
Kolkata-Dhanbad and Chinnai-Banglore are to be taken up for
construction and completed before 2012.Baroda-Ahmedabad express
highway may be streched upto Mumbai by about 400 KM. These are the
kind of projects that the govt should concentrate upon.

Govt is thinking of helping the sugar units to pay off the cane
growers , the ideal situation would be to withdraw from the can price
fixation and let the grower and mill decide what to pay etc under an
approved contractual agreement between the two with liberty to very
the price but not the terms. This would enable the farmers to remain
safe from the losses due to intricately worded agreements and difficult
to implement agreements.

While the markets went on fire after the US Fed reduced the bench mark
rates to 4.75% by 50 basis points there is a fact of 47% stocks still
languishing . The BSE data shows that of 6.75 crore public
shareholders 2.68 crores (39.7%) have not participated in the sensex
recovery. The total market cap for 54 sectors out of 128 is still
below May 2006. Sharp shooting is the cause of what is mostly
happenning in the market. Those who have had the occasion of observing
the market when Harshad Mehta was active, can clearly see the
commonality of the pattern then and now.No local name is in the open
but the PN route may be blamed for and an Indian group may be at the
core of it.

During current calender year Rs15739 crs have been poured in to stock
market by the domestic intitutions including the insurance companies.

When the US Fed has reduced the interest rates the natural corollary
would be that the flow of capital would get away from the direction
towards US. India would naturally get some part out of the this
diverted flow due to better interest rates and stronger currency. The
dollar would weaken further against rupee as well as other
currencies.Since the sub-prime crisis is a US phenomenon , the other
economies may not tinker with interest rates unless other factors
prompt them to do so.

It was earlier indicated by the national security adviser Mr NK
Narayanan about some terrorist syndicates investing in the stock
market in India while speaking at an international seminar. Now RAW
has alerted the Govt and SEBI about a saudi businessman with links to
Al-Qaida buying into indian companies through stock
market route. The PN route must be enabling it. I do not know if the
govt/SEBI would be wiser after the event this time too. There is
definitely a method in the madness in past weeks’ market activity but
neither the SEBI nor the govt is raising an eyebrow. The watchdog SEBI
is neither barking nor biting while there is a clear indication of
manipulative stance in the market while there is hardly any good news
to prompt the kind of movements that have been seen on the domestic
front. Why should Barnanke’s rate cut have such reaction as would not be
seen after Reddy doing the same thing here.

HDFC would be cutting the floating rate of interest on loans and offer
it at below 11% as its cost of funds has come down too.HDFC’s Chairman
Parikh is confident of growing business by 20-25% this year.

Gold touhed $739/oz , the highest since Jan 1980 and why not when the
oil dollar is looking for parking place.

Young Indians are the happiest in the world and keep career as
priority according to a survey by swedish firm ‘Kairos Future’.

The closing this week has seen sensex/nifty close at peak at
16564/4837 at PE of over 23/22 on the 21st sept 07.The size of Indian
stock market has grown substatially as many companies have issued
large equity using different routes like private placement,
preferential allotment,rights issues and IPOs.

World consumes about 86 million barrels of oil in a day.Energy
Information Administration estimates spare capacity of 2.17 million
barrels per day , to go up to 2.7 million barrels per day by 2008.
Since all this capacity is in OPEC countries, the tap may be closed
any time.The world oil demand is rising more than non-OPEC rise in
production capacity, naturally oil will rule higher.The gas prices are
not being impacted by higher oil, however.

As there is low inflation , any big increase in the petroleum prices
would affect the economy and personal finance in a way differently as
the parity with other items would drastically change.

Market Matrix – Forex convertibility and participatory notes – 5 Sep 2006

By krsna Khandelwal – A Stock Market Vedic Theory proponent

The RBI has further acted upon the forex front and has given the road map for the eventual forex convertibility. Since this is major reform and has called for substantial groundwork, it has been welcomed by the markets in the like spirit. There is however, a disturbing fact emerging and it is the fact that PN (participatory notes) have been responsible for a big chunk of inward money flow in to the stock market. Since the route to find out the real persons behind the PN is not open and the identity of the investors may of dubious nature, the RBI has wanted to curb this practice. The needle of suspicion points towards domestic wrong doers, they may be the smugglers, corrupt politicians and may be big businesspersons who have avoided tax and want to stash away some money in safe havens. Until the time when the dollar used to appreciate it was alright to keep money in dollar denominated investments but lately the trend has been such that it is wise to make money in Indian markets and not suffer on account of weaker dollar. This scene perfectly fits in to the logical theme of lot of people bringing money through PN route. This is serious by any standard and has to be dealt with firmly, let us hope some thing is done by the govt. and let us hope that the creekers and thieves do not have any kinship.

The movement in indices has suddenly become slightly skewed, the premium on calls and puts has behaved not in exact line with underlying securities movement, and this may be precursor to unfolding of some dramatic scene. This time is to sit pretty and wait for guidance available after the initial half yearly result early next month. Around this time in the year, the money market is usually tight but that does not seem to be the case in this year. Buying cheap and selling dear has been the layman’s ‘mantra’ and should be followed in the present time, meaning thereby not to go for fancy PE stocks and book profits which come your way without any apparent logic.

Market Matrix – Indian Auto Scene and trends in valuation – 9 Sep 2006

By krsna Khandelwal – A Stock Market Vedic Theory proponent

There has lately been an upsurge in auto equities on account of two factors , namely, the drop in oil prices and the other on account of robust sales performance by all the segments of automobiles and two/three wheelers. While the high sale figures suggest that India is now riding on the back of a very resilient economy and it has developed a sort of immunity towards the world oil prices. This immunity may be due to the reluctance of the govt in reflecting the real pricing for the petroleum products in retail. Although this is some thing that would be despised by the reformists but some how this very practice has given stability to the nations’ economy from the frequent jerks that it would have felt on account of completely free pricing mechanism. The policy of restricted increase in oil products prices would have damaged the economy in the end had the crude oil prices not moderated and would have continued their journey upwards. Now, it is the time for the policy makers to adopt a sound policy in this regard. In my opinion, the best thing to do is to have the past one-year moving average of the international crude prices as the benchmark price based on which the retail prices should be worked out. This would on one hand smoothen the retail prices in respect of advances/declines and on the other hand not hurt the auto industry unduly because of the factors not in its direct control. This would also not take away the incentive to search for the alternative fuel sources every now and then.

We have now to take in to account the stock market related matters for the auto sector. In my humble opinion, the auto scrips have been priced too optimistically and retention at this level of pricing does not seem possible. The discounting of auto scrip should now be more cautious rather than more liberal. We do know that auto industry has been able to reduce the production cost due to the higher volumes and due to their ability to dictate terms of supply of components and original equipment viz a viz the auto component manufacturers. This advantage may not last for long as the profitability of the component manufacturers has been very strained and they have not had the benefit of increasing sales volumes. I think with their demonstrated capacity to be able to supply to the world at large the components of world standards in quality, the day is not far when they would demand their rightful share in the auto boom currently being witnessed. Since the end product price may not be raised due to consumer resistance I think the brunt of the sharing of profits equitably will have to be borne by the manufactures of cars, trucks, tractors and two/three wheelers, all of whom have had a undreamt streak of good fortune even in the face of historically high crude oil prices, due to the factors enunciated above.

In light of what I have explained , the prudence demands that love for auto assemblers’ scrip is diluted to the level of love for equities in general that is to say that they should be subjected to discounting at the level of PE which the Nifty and Sensex stocks command at the moment and not beyond. For the purpose of record, I may mention that the major indices are at the PE level of around 20(Nifty closed at 3471 and sensex at 11918).

The expectations in market have to be adjusted in light of US economy suffering from slow down fears and Bank of Japan possibly raising the interest rates. Therefore, in India we should maintain a cautious optimism.

Market Matrix – India Inc : Some practical advice – 12 Sep 2006

By krsna Khandelwal – A Stock Market Vedic Theory proponent

John Hagel , the management guru, an out of box thinking person was in India last week and advised the India Inc to have a sense of urgency and translate it into bigger and better orgnisations under their fold. I have to agree with this. In my opinion, the India Inc should embark on the course on the following lines to be able to withstand against still more free economic forces and trade winds.

a) They should shed love for the family where managing companies is in question, they may have desired owner ship pattern however, without question.

b) They should not have any greed for transferring benefits to themselves against the sleeping partners in their ventures.

c) They should be funding according to need ,not according to opportunity, there is however no problem in raising risk capital at the opportune time as this money can only be got when the times are okay, when needed this money is difficult to have, against this the loaned money may be taken any time. The costs may be higher at times and lower at other times but the ventures, in any case, have to generate beyond the interest rates to justify borrowing. The marginal return on every added rupee deployed has to be more than its present cost.

d) They should not be taking out profits from the companies through hefty pay cheques for them selves, their remunerations should be fixed by independent directors on board.

e) They should have well defined risk taking capacity/capability and desire for the managers to understand beforehand, plan accordingly the new forays, and subconsciously think within such limits.

f) Surprise announcements should be avoided, keeping the desired level of confidentiality.

g) Accounting practices should be stable and sound.

h) They should not fear the govt. and should be bold and frank where the policy matters and prudence have to be balanced.

i) They should not have any truck with politicians at company level; their own personal leanings may be what ever.

j) They should not shy away from joining hands with the fellow industrialists if the sizes of project are huge for being taken singularly, if the project has potential, the points enunciated above would make the climate congenial in any case.

k) They should, as a policy, have some part of business established out side India, which should have the ability to run itself even if the umbilical cord with parent is cut off.

l) Environment concerns should not be over bearing but the laws of the land should be honoured in spirit and practice.

m) Long term approach is necessary for market development and brand building without irregular expenditure pattern.

n) Economising on every front without hurting the due rights of the stakeholders should be the order of the day.

o) Quality and controlling cost to produce the required quality should be watchword and at the same time, the quality should be uniform.

p) The distribution of profits should be regular irrespective of the variations in profitability as the investors depending on the dividend for their regular expenditure should not have to worry for resources in times of dividends being skipped, this may be ensured by keeping reserves for this particular purpose and enriching them in extraordinary times.

q) The riskier projects should be through subsidiary route only and mergers and auisitionsq with tax angle in mind should be avoided.

r) The flow of news from the company should be without considerations for its impact on the stock market/share price and should be as per the importance of the news and accessible to all.

s) The purchase and sale of the shares by insiders as defined by the SEBI should be after the intent to do so (with price band) should be made public the evening before.

t) R&D fund should be regularly set aside and the research effort should be funded out of this, it should not come in piecemeal manner.

u) Social damage (due to activity of companies) should be set right and the social causes should be left for the individuals and the govt.

India Inc should keep in mind that the image at home has to be right for it to demand fair treatment out of Indian shores, you can’t be considered responsible at one place and not at the other place in this global village and vice versa. Indian businesspersons have ability and courage & means and manner, they have to inculcate the habit of being equitable and just and not be tempted with quick returns against consistent returns.

I do not proclaim to be any knowledgeable specialist person but I have seen enough to find the underlying cause of the matter where the good and bad corporate practices are involved. I have knowledge of the cases relating to Indian corporates where they have suffered on account of not following one or more of the above practices and have suffered more for themselves while making others suffering wrongfully.

Readers’ comments are welcome on the above post.

Market Matrix – The GDP growth and the corporate profitability – 30 Sep 2006

By krsna Khandelwal – A Stock Market Vedic Theory proponent

Gentlemen,

The govt just announced that the growth in GDP for the five months ended Aug 2006 have exceeded 8% mark comfortably. In these five month the tax revenue is up by 39% and non tax revenue is up by over 15%.These numbers are really interesting and leave one wondering whether the stock market would be gaining strength on the back of these numbers, I am not so sure. No doubt, the increased tax collection would enable govt to contain fiscal and revenue deficit and this is something that gives comfort.

Since the quarter ending 30 Sept 06 will only be a quarter and the numbers it gives will be for the growth over the corresponding quarter last year. The gullible public is given or gets the impression that this growth is over the growth of 1st quarter in current year. What I mean to say is that even if the rate of growth shows slight improvement in this quarter against the growth numbers for the first quarter (both over corresponding quarters last year) it should not be taken as signal for the still better next year for the corporates.There always remains a possibility of slips between cup and the lip. I am not talking dejectedly; I am talking as the dream run has been going on for far too long. If you account for the returns by way of the nominal interest return of 8% on capital plus if you expect just two percent additionally for the element of risk involved in equity investment, the projected Nifty would have to be between 3950 to 4000 and the Sensex between 14000 to 14200. One year from now and it will have to be 4200/15000 after next financial year i.e. 31st March 07.

I call upon you to be optimistic and assess if these numbers seem possible to you. The ones who have doubt should keep the moneys in interest bearing instruments in the proportion of their doubt in this regard.

I am only trying to make matters simple for the uninitiated. I further state that the tax revenue growth cannot translate for the existing listed companies in to more than 25% net profit surge on an average for every incremental rupee of profit. The tax rates are at the highest hence would restrict the PAT .This reflects in higher PE ratio than otherwise would have been the case. Therefore, those who expect that next year would be bringing down the PE ratio for the indices are in the wrong, this year it rests at over 20 against 18 last year in spite of surge in profits. The PE ratio at over 20 is non-digestible for me personally; I cannot speak for others with authority.

The Nifty closed at 3588 after crossing 3600 mark for some time on 29 Sep 2006.

Market Matrix – We should be as a nation a SEZ -29 Sep 2006

By krsna Khandelwal – A Stock Market Vedic Theory proponent

Gentlemen,

The SEZs so enthusiastically announced by every industrial group as the thrust area has been seeing the dark clouds lately. Actually, it seems the players wanted to out smart each other without trying to get the debate rolling for the people to see for themselves the benefits flowing to every section of society. Ours is politically enlightened society, we have to generally see the worth of the scheme as a society but those in power forget that and jump to the things without the proper disclosures.

The Neta-Babu-Big Money combines in their own interest because they are guided by their on profit motives, luckily, for the political masters the mandate is mixed and no particular political lobby may highjack the national interests. In fact, the big money is bereft of the industrial ideas and has suddenly come in to more money and they have taken the SEZ initiative as a ploy to corner the real estate chunks without inviting critisism.This is really in bad taste. Those who have money should become more philanthropic and more vocal about the guiding principles must appreciate Mrs. Sonia Gandhi for coming forward and giving voice to a sensitive public concern. This is the leadership quality one should cultivate and this may eventually establish her as far taller than the other leaders who are not able to see beyond their support groups and limited choices and beyond their own interest. I have been a critic of her, but this one gesture has turned me into respecting her and seeing some underlying principle when she shrugged from taking the high office, it was again the right judgment about the popular mood beyond the party people and its reflection in practice.

The industrial activity reasonably should remain low key in UP and Bihar as these are endowed with rich agricultural lands. These states should be dotted with only the matching agricultural industry to add value to and preserve the agricultural produce for wider distribution and storage. Its not a bad thing if the labour from these states travels to other destinations to do work there and seasonally comes back to attend to agricultural duties for the household. I have discussed this matter with the migrant labourers and have found that they do not mind this arrangement as they have joint families to enable them to follow this practice. It is the shortsightedness of the govt and thinkers who instead of giving support to the practice, actually see it as a problem of unemployment in hinterland and as a problem of rehabilitating these migrant workers. What is required is to give them fast, clean transportation facilities at low cost and to provide them with dormitories and mass catering facilities with proper amenities to be hired for the desired period of their stay. This will take care of the slums and of the law order problems. The country would shine as much as it never did. This will create an atmosphere where the migrant worker would be welcome and not seen as menace. The seasonal employability would make the idle hand work for the development of the economy and would create the markets for the goods produced by industry. It would ensure that the rich agricultural lands are not spoilt and the environment is non- polluted in the thickly populated states.

Lastly, a reasonable mind would be wondering whether the SEZs are given a name like this for the real purpose of making a special class of people who in reality want to be Special Economic People. What makes it better, which would not the whole nation, benefited applying the same incentives and tax rates? We may declare the whole nation as SEZ, we have every thing .We are free, we are democratic, we are talented, we are a younger nation, we have docile population, we have benign climate, we have resources, we have technology, we have entrepreneurial strength, we have managerial talent and we have acceptance the world over due to non-aligned policies and due to non-aggressive attitude. We should be as a nation a SEZ where the money would be poured in from all over the world. Why create SEZs at unnatural points and perforce bring the industry there and create an opportunity for the people to cheat exchequer etc and confine the benefit to select few. China went for it for its masters did not want to thinly spread the benefit for the society.

About the markets I have to again point out that some scrips have moved beyond the reasonable level of prices and some sector of industry are showing signs of tiredness hence please keep your rupee not invested in equity for the time being. The Nifty closed range bound at 3572 points on 28 Sep 2006.

Panch Tattva – Recent : AMAR REMEDIES, MEDIAVIDEO – 60926

By krsna Khandelwal – A Stock Market Vedic Theory proponent

60926

Please have a look at following for the trading purposes:
AMAR REMEDIES @57/- (26 Sep 06) gets 995 points and you may buy this with a view to book profit whenever it moves beyond 65/- upto next qly,also please put to use stop loss to exit at 4% fall(50%) and exit fully at 8% fall .
MEDIAVIDEO @40/- (26 Sep 06) gets 1046 points and may be bought and kept till the next qly result when the fresh evaluation would be required to be done for further action,those who desire may book profits in the mean time according to their own judgement,please apply stop losses as given above.

You attention is drawn towards the following points to understand the basics of the ‘Panch Tattva Technik’ :-

a) The point level denotes that stock is weaker if it has points under ‘1000′ and is stronger if it has points over ‘1000′. At level of ‘1000’, the stock is supposed to be rightly priced. The variation against 1000 level does not denote the exact proportion in price strength.

b) The point are ascribed after careful derivation of certain ratios based on the most recent quarterly results, management strength, industry prospects, political climate, price history, interest rate scene etc. It actually takes care of every aspect affecting the price.

c) The trading strategy is given in each case and should be followed.

d) Since there are always fresh developments affecting the price, a stop loss mechanism should be followed. You may sell off half the quantity upon slide in price to the extent of 3-4% and sell entire quantity upon 6-8% fall in price. Once out of stock you should not look back at the same stock until fresh point level is given after announcement of next quarterly result.

e) Some stocks would be studied and regularly posted on this column for every body to take advantage of and you may simply track prices to have confidence in the efficacy/efficiency of the system before actually trying your hand out.

f) This system has been empirically tested for over a decade and there are people who have drawn immense benefit out of the advice based on this.

Two points given below about Trading Strategy sould also be followed.

1. KNOW WHEN TO TAKE STOCK:
Know when you would sit down to take stock of the situation for moving out of a trade, in my scheme of things the next quarterly result announcement is the day when you must ask for the new ‘Panch Tattva’ numbers.
2. THE INVESTMENT QUANTUM/SIZE:

I suggest that in this regard you should invest not more than 5% of you investible funds in each recommended stock under ‘Panch Tattva teknik’.This would keep you from worrying excessively.

Gentlemen, the taste of the pudding lies in eating, you may ask for advice in respect of stock(s) of your own choice, against an introductory moderate charge of INR 10/- per scrip up to 30 Sept 2006 and INR 20/- from 1 Oct 2006 onwards. You may contact me at my Cell 09376168780 or email me at krsnakhandelwal@yahoo.com .

Market Matrix – Riches in Rural Enablement – 25 Sep 2006

By krsna Khandelwal – A Stock Market Vedic Theory proponent

First, please look at some statistics:

• The size of Indian Rural market is around INR 13 lac crores (13 trillion) as against urban market size of INR 11 lac crores (11 trillion).
• 72 % of Indians live in villages and just 28% in cities.

This is a veritable advantage. We do not have to be worried to death for urban afflictions and we may rightly direct the development effort at any time for just and fruitful outcome as the fabric we have is without parallel in the entire world. Those inhabiting the rural area have means of lively hood nearby, if not fully rewarding. They are perched on the ground safe for inhabitation, less prone to floods and vagaries of nature as these are not forced unnatural settlements (unlike Surat and Mumbai which have seen the floods almost destroying these cities due to unnatural expansion on lands not suitable for it).The government while directing its infrastructural capacities towards urban India because of the power centers having such an interest, should make sure that these settlements are disturbed in the least. What ever should be tried for the benefit of these villages should be tried with the idea of keeping these preserves in tact with the benefits flowing to them on account of newer technologies like solar power, sattelite communication, service roads connecting with highways and mainline railways. Just so much will enable them to be independent economic communities without attendant problems of commuting, sanitation, security and housing, which are so menacingly looking in to the face of urban India. The best of the brains and global capital supports prove to be power less to fully address these maladies of the urban India.

The planned efforts in line with above suggestion will see these villages, dotted across India at the right points , not farther than an hour journey to a city centre in almost 95% of the cases .This will leave just 5% villages to be taken care for differently as the case be. So far, we have seen the shifting of population under attraction of facilities and jobs, now we have to see to it that they are put with access to facilities and jobs from home itself.

I had occasion to interview a vast number of people working in big cities who are from rural backgrounds. They have no lure for the big city, their heart lies in their own villages. Even an untouchable of the previous times, who confirmed that he faces no discrimination because of the social status in cities, will still find it more likeable to stay in his home village, given the economic freedom to do so. Again, I am referring to China, which has unwittingly displaced 150 million of its migrant workers in the name of progress without realising the magnitude of the problem it has created for itself.

Now, please see in contrast where we are heading towards against where we should head. The capex of India Inc has crossed INR one trillion mark. Refinery sector accounts for INR 18K crores, Steel sector roughly INR 12k crores, Power INR 8K crores and telecom INR 7K crores approx. and Textile and IT get roughly INR 5K Crores each. While these investment also are necessary but nothing matching has been done for the rural India, these investments will only ask for some migrants workers to join in only.

The gross fixed assets of 1425 firms amount to INR 7.67 lac crores, of which the top 100 account for 80% share (up 11.7% over last year). These numbers are music to the development buffs but some give sinking feeling without the equivalent thrust for the rural needs in form of simple needs of connectivity, which would have outlays of much lesser magnitude. The solar power harnessing should also be subsidised by taxing the energy guzzlers in the cities by direct transfer to obtain twin advantage of making cities less attractive and rural areas more attractive.

I advise the investors to be converting their holdings in to cash as far as possible and rebuild their portfolios in new light after the announcement of half yearly results, the Nifty at 3540 at 1045 hrs on 25 Sep 2006 is definitely at cross roads.

Market Matrix – The opportunity being lost – 22 Sep 2006

By krsna Khandelwal – A Stock Market Vedic Theory proponent

Our economy has coolly progressed at the rate of 8% per annum on an average for the last three years. This is something that one has to cheer about. It has been no small achievement for the economy of our size and that too under not so strong leadership or calmer times. I have a feeling that India is now poised for the faster growth trajectory from here onwards as the necessary environment is there with the only exception that the govts commitment for reforms is not to the desired level. Here comes the communist factor spoiling the party. The time has come for the two mainstream parties, namely, Congress and BJP to come closer, stop criticizing each other unecessarily, create a climate when they forge an alliance bereft of every type of regional party support. Both parties are for reforms and both are basically secular, their gimmicks apart, both have the larger interest of the nation at heart and what is more both do not have leadership command of cheap kind. During the last decade both have lead the government and have presided over the unbelievable progress course. The leaders of both the parties command respect here and out side and have ministerial talent.

The interest rates is not going to be cause of worry for the enterpreneur.In fact the interest rates for the 10yr Govt paper is now down to7.67 % as against 8.42 % in July last year. US Fed has left the rates untouched. So clearly, the worries on this account have finished for the time being. The oil related worries have relieved the govts treasury managers. The poor would not have to be burdened with high prices of kerosene and gas. This belittles the importance of the parties who gain support because of crying hoarse for such possibilities without a plan to make the end meets for the govt. too.

The Noble Laureate Michael Spence has forecasted that the US economy is likely to be hit by recession that would influence most global economies. For us there is a redeeming feature. We have yet not so much integrated with the world economy while our giant neighbour has now much more integration with the world economy. We would therefore have scope of adjusting our priorities in good time for such an eventuality. Our managers of economy should now pay attention towards balanced but faster growth by some how curbing the unnecessary political movements against the core projects and Medha Patker type agitationists who hardly serve the purpose of their own constituency but hurt much more the ones who stand to gain from the benefits flowing out the project when completed. The financial cost of this is enormous and the social cost is no less.

RBI governor is not relaxing yet and has in mind the fear of inflation. He would think twice before announcing that the dear money policy is going to be given a good bye, in effect we may assume that he would not let the path of progress be blocked when the time comes. Now my appeal is directed towards the industrialists to shed timidness and be bold .They would not be entirely risking their monies, the masses are ready to share with them the risk component of the enterprise. Work more they will have to, also they would have to assume the role of the supervisor rather be their own hands down manager. “Think big at this juncture and come forward” is my advice to the men of grit amongst them .The stage is set and the path is smoother than ever before. The country should now cover the lost ground and catch up.

Our economic strength is needed to keep us safe from our enemies at whose hands we have suffered all through medieval as well as the recent history. Today only a healthy ,substantial and surplus economy can foot the bill of safe guarding the nation and the national boundries.So it is not the consumption orientation only ,it is the defense needs that is calling for the urgency in developing the nations industry and filling its coffers and embarking on the sound defense related arrangements. I am more concerned with it is due the fact that the earlier referred giant neighbour may again do strange things if the situation back home for the present coterie in command turns hostile to them or the control slips. It has no compunction or compassion to see the propriety of any move. After all the character of a nation and its people is not built in short time. Individually the Chinese are wonderful people but collectively they have no holds barred and for the ruling class love for humanity has never been the reason to do or not do some thing. Their enemies have done unbelievable thing unto them and they do not have limits for them selves. Let us be wary with the greater interaction and with the improved warfare techniques. When the USSR was all powerful , Mao had no hitch in throwing his weight around ,this gamesman ship is another reason that we have to move ahead inspite of our simple living and high thinking formula,afterall we have to see that the coming generation is not under any body’s thumb.

Market Matrix – The Oil and Index – 21 Sep 2006

By krsna Khandelwal – A Stock Market Vedic Theory proponent

The powerful lobby took the markets high yesterday by a good margin on the strength of falling crude prices while on the 19th the reverse had happened, the US Fed may not raise the interest was another thing giving positive push.

These two factors have a different impact according to me. The first of the falling crude prices says that the surplus in oil sector will take a beating. It is only the extra dollar per barrel that converts in to surplus for investment, the normal crude prices take care of the costs, maintenance a, regular expenditure requirements and the tax. I draw your attention to the fact of rising crude prices, rising stock markets, rising bullion prices, rising interest rates, rising metal prices and rising property/real estate prices, all together. ‘ Why was it so’, find an answer and you would realise that it was the surplus generated by oil biggies which was finding way in to every kind of investible item and place. The fall in crude suggests the reverse , actually the money would get not thinly spread and would not be there to influence the prices of investible commodities and assets any more, so in my opinion the end less flow of dollar would plummet for most of the emerging economies.

 

Further, the falling crude price is not going to translate in to cheaper petrol for the Indians, at best, it would help the Govt. and the public sector distribution related oil companies and ONGC, so any impetus in the auto industry is very different. Make most out of this situation by getting out selectively.

 

The interest rate initiative of the US Fed is not going to affect us in any which way so on this score neutral impact may be kept in mind.

 

Therefore, this is the contrarian voice this time, the market has opened today up by 25 points and NIFTY is ruling at over 3525 mark.

Market Matrix – We and China – 19 September 2006

By krsna Khandelwal – A Stock Market Vedic Theory proponent

The progress of China on the economic front has been so frantic that no body dares to criticize for what China did to achieve it .Actually it is now turning out that it did not do so much as it much is left to do. What Chinese leadership followed can be seen as letting China turn into a production base with foreign capital and with foreign technology without putting any laws in place to curb their wrongful activity and without a mechanism for the welfare of its working class and for its due reward in the increased economic activity.

 

Please try to see what I propose to convey to you.

China is reported to have some 200 million workers who sleep in ill kept dormitories (a report says that China has 150 million migrant workers while India has 30 million migrant workers).What it means that the labour class in China has not got its due and the poorly paid wages have made it possible for the foreign capital to earn hefty margins on each dollar of investment .This was due to employing the 21st century manufacturing technique and infrastructure and following nineteenth century business policies. The dream returns on capital brought in $ 800 billion investment to China since 1980. With so much money invested, every hand became productive and employed. Other laws in the field of environment, rehabilitation, compensation, minimum wages, industrial safety and prudent accounting etc were not put in place and it was sort of free play never seen any where else in the modern world.

 

The western economies which suggests to India to see to it that child labour is not employed for the manufacture of items of export was not restless when in China the labour was not getting its due and was living in appalling conditions. The reason is not far to seek, it was the reward for dollars invested that was keeping them from uttering a word. One may ask what was in it for the Chinese people. Here you have to understand that it the marriage of convenience of two powerful lobbies. It used to be said about communism that it is in fact the capitalism of the state; in this case, it simply is the capitalism of a few people who have connection with governing power centers of the state.

 

China could construct the dream projects like ‘rail to sky’, the infrastructure for the Olympics and the dam on the mighty river on account of the tyrannical practices of the employer which only managed by the practice of meeting the targets. No ear was being lent to the voice of concerned for the affected people and the labour conditions. Such voices met the same fate as was meted out in times of construction of the great wall.

 

The times seem to be changing; the cheap labour may now be paid higher share in the kitty. The leadership there has already spoken loudly in this regard. What it means for India. It simply means that the competitive edge of China is going to go away ,the labour is cheap here also besides India has some advantages unique to it self which China does not have. The flow of dollars would turn towards India. Infrastructure is getting better by the day. Our only problem is cheap politics that mars the grand designs of the thinkers. The day is not far when we too have a powerful leadership to check these things. Under Nehru, the young India had progressed at such a pace that the communist China had to practically stop India by invading its borders. It was the fight of the ideologies at the back of whole thing; the mixed economy model was proving better than the communist model. By the way, the mixed economy model of India is still keeping its head above water but it is under threat. India should preserve this legacy.

 

I would expect my fellow citizens to be ready with their investible rupee; many a lucrative projects are on the drawing board of entrepreneurs and would be ready to demand participation through public issue route. The cost of raising capital though public issue route is less than half-today of what it was since last twenty years, this puts both the users and providers of capital in good stead. The sun will now be shining more brightly on India.

Panch Tattva – Recent : SAIL , Infosys , ITC , Maruti , TCS & Tata Steel : 60917 – 60922

By krsna Khandelwal – A Stock Market Vedic Theory proponent

60917
This time I am talking of Steel Authority of India. Steel industry is some what affected on account of Chinese steel material finding way in to Indian market and is further on the defensive wicket on account of massive investment in pipeline for creating fresh capacities. This is only misplaced pessimism and should be taken advantage of by the smart investor. The points under our ‘Panch Tattva Teknik’, as given below show some promise:-

SAIL @74/- gets 1283 points and this calls for investment in to this scrip without fear, one may regularly keep adding to portfolio and see the next quarterly performance figure before unloading. In this case, stop losses may better not be put for knee jerk reaction otherwise, one would see share going out of hands.

Another scrip happens to be Infosys Technologies ,the scrip commands all the respect of people but please look at the points it gets and decide for yourself what you should do as per the following, in my opinion this scrip is under distribution by the large holders and may slide when the demand for it is satiated :-
INFOSYS TECH @1817/- gets 915 points and this a clear indication that that this should not be held and should be sold off if in stock, this should not be purchased either till it gets better point level after the next qly result or till there is some stock specific reliable news.

60918
I have also choosen ITC for your benefit.This is a very sound scrip with management of excellent calibre,their business lines are diverse and paying,they have truly Global Indian out look and have no fear from the rising/falling rupee and short term worries.It should be dealt by you in the following manner as worked upon current price and 1st qtr result:-
ITC @ 184/- gets 980 points and this suggests that one should not loose any opportunity of buying this on decline and should have in mind to keep booking profits along the way for it does not have any immediate potential to explode.

60920
‘Maruti Udyog Limited’ has been also been taken up for assessment,you are invited to share the emerging view :-

MUL @928/- gets 923 points and I may assure you there is nothing very interesting about the stock at present apart from what the manageent has tole about expansion in a big, it is not certain that expansion would pay off ,there are enough ifs and buts . I would suggest that those who hold it get out on jumps and wait for the time when the ‘panch tattva teknik’ gives better numbers upon the next qly results.

60921
Tata Consultancy Services is a very formidable companies and it came out with the first public issue about a year back and this goes to the credit of Rata Tata that he kept some room for the upward move in post issue era,after the bonus issue in one to one ratio it is still above the issue price.Tatas (as a group) in fact have the ability to raise Rs. one lac crore from market should the need arise,this is no small credibility for the world standards also.Coming to the ‘panch tattva ‘ assessment ,I have to give you some disheartening news :-
TCS @ 1053 gets 943 points and this does not allow me to invest any further in this stock, better still would be to sell part of holding as there would be a time when I would be able to replenish it buying cheaply even before the result for the current quarter is out.

60922
Please have a look at ‘panch tatva’ numbers for the powerful company , member of the esteemed TATA Group.Steel business is at a cross road ,it faces dumping by China as the demand in China is lower due to completion of some mega projects and the capacity now lying idle.It may close down the marginal plants as its capacity is too fragmented or it may destabilise the regional supply balance.I have some hopes in this regard that in India steel like a basic material would not be allowed to be imported without resistance and the domestic demand is slated to explode while the fresh capacity is taking more than expected time to come up. The intervenining period is a good opportunity for this company to garner ever greater profits.Those who would invest now will have best of the times ahead,the ‘Panch Tattva’ number are giving support:-
TATA STEEL @496/-(CMP 22/09/06) gets 1118 pts and it is in our interest to invest in this stock immediately as the bus may be missed any time and if the next quarterly results turn out to be better than expected bus will be missed,hence the hurry.
You attention is drawn towards the following points to understand the basics of the ‘Panch Tattva teknik’ :-

a) The point level denotes that stock is weaker if it has points under ‘1000′ and is stronger if it has points over ‘1000′. At level of ‘1000’, the stock is supposed to be rightly priced. The variation against 1000 level does not denote the exact proportion in price strength.

b) The point are ascribed after careful derivation of certain ratios based on the most recent quarterly results, management strength, industry prospects, political climate, price history, interest rate scene etc. It actually takes care of every aspect affecting the price.

c) The trading strategy is given in each case and should be followed.

d) Since there are always fresh developments affecting the price, a stop loss mechanism should be followed. You may sell off half the quantity upon slide in price to the extent of 3% and sell entire quantity upon 6% fall in price. Once out of stock you should not look back at the same stock until fresh point level is given after announcement of next quarterly result.

e) Some stocks would be studied and regularly posted on this column for every body to take advantage of and you may simply track prices to have confidence in the efficacy/efficiency of the system before actually trying your hand out.

f) This system has been empirically tested for over a decade and there are people who have drawn immense benefit out of the advice based on this.

Two points given below about Trading Strategy sould also be followed.

1. KNOW WHEN TO TAKE STOCK:
Know when you would sit down to take stock of the situation for moving out of a trade, in my scheme of things the next quarterly result announcement is the day when you must ask for the new ‘Panch Tattva’ numbers.
2. THE INVESTMENT QUANTUM/SIZE:

I suggest that in this regard you should invest not more than 5% of you investible funds in each recommended stock under ‘Panch Tattva teknik’.This would keep you from worrying excessively.

Gentlemen, the taste of the pudding lies in eating, you may ask for advice in respect of stock(s) of your own choice, against an introductory moderate charge of INR 10/- per scrip up to 30 Sept 2006 and INR 20/- from 1 Oct 2006 onwards.

Panch Tattva – Recent : RIL: 60916

By krsna Khandelwal – A Stock Market Vedic Theory proponent

You are welcome to have the glimpse into the stock price evaluation numbers under ‘Panch Tattva Teknik’, I am covering the most traded stock on the NSE on 15th Sept i.e. Reliance Industries Ltd this time and the advice goes as under :-

RIL @1140/- (CMP on 15.09.06) gets 940 points and is almost at the right price to be bought on declines regularly for accumulation till the next quarterly results are out when it will be reassessed and reported, till then bought quantities may be booked profit on in excess of five percent on average price of purchase.

I now give some permanent points to remember for the ones who venture out to trade on the strength of the ‘Panch Tattva Teknik’. I have based my advice on the following:-

a) The point level denotes that stock is weaker if it has points under ‘1000′ and is stronger if it has points over ‘1000′. At level of ‘1000’, the stock is supposed to be rightly priced. The variation against 1000 level does not denote the exact proportion in price strength.

b) The point are ascribed after careful derivation of certain ratios based on the most recent quarterly results , management strength, industry prospects, political climate, price history, interest rate scene etc. It actually takes care of every aspect affecting the price.

c) The trading strategy is given in each case and should be followed.

d) Since there are always fresh developments affecting the price, a stop loss mechanism should be followed. You may sell off half the quantity upon slide in price to the extent of 3% and sell entire quantity upon 6% fall in price. Once out of stock you should not look back at the same stock until fresh point level is given after announcement of next quarterly result.

Market Matrix – Let us examine current stock market scene – 15 September 2006

By krsna Khandelwal – A Stock Market Vedic Theory proponent

I have a confession to make about judging market wrongly at a time when some thing was surely brewing up. Last year in the month of September 05, Nifty at 2500 and sensex at 8500 looked to me highly priced while the relevant PE was 18. This level was exceeded with vengeance for most part after September 05. I was however not a lone soul suspecting that the markets had been moving at unnatural gait then. Our reverend prime minister had also publicly expressed his discomfiture at the pace of advances in indices then.

When we look back, we know that the level of 2500/8500 was never breached on the down side throughout the year and hence it may be said that those who had reservation about the strength of market were in the wrong. From another angle, however, we can also conclude that such observation had merit, otherwise why 8 months down the line without any apparent current reason markets did come down to almost kiss the level of 2500/8500 in May 06. The markets have since then rebounded again, now trying to cross the 3500/12000 level for nifty/sensex while the PE stands about 20 (better by 2 points).

This has confirmed that the markets have to do with optimism, hope, expectation and emotional connotations as much as they have to do with the projectable core numbers at macro and micro level. When hope belies and the optimism is found to be misplaced, no force than can stem the slide as no logic could stem the tide when the expectations were rising high. In the medium or in the long run the numbers do play a vital role in determination of the market levels.

This very character of the market makes it not fit for the ordinary souls. On this account, the encashability of assets for their value remains suspect. In light of this, please do not entirely commit your resources to equity stocks. The best means is to build up capital through continuous contribution to some kind of balanced funds where 50:50 flavours of debt and equity is available. The unit link policies of the private insurance companies are the right products in financial market place to be relied upon, as these policies are cost wise better that the MFs and offer the freedom to switch between the funds without cost. When extreme times are visible to be taken shelter under risk free funds and reversely when the never before opportunity is knocking at door for making money by transferring funds to equity related fund, ULIPs are handy instruments.

At this juncture I am ready to say that 3100/11000 level for Nifty/Sensex happens to be justified from the basic strength angle and rest is pure sentiment driven, if the next quarter numbers do not show better, the hope will turn into despair hence prudence demands that for the time being one should get out of speculative stocks. Any euphoric mania from now onwards would call for completely leaving the market.

Market Matrix – Birla speaks – 14 Sep 2006

By krsna Khandelwal – A Stock Market Vedic Theory proponent

The iconic Birla, scion of the great G.D.Birla was in Ahmedabad yesterday for delivering a talk on the group’s philosophy. Integrity, commitment, passion, seamlessness and speed are the five values that form the cornerstone of the guiding ethics for the group that is now known as ‘aditya birla group’. He told, “Our values form our core ideology, provide us with a moral compass, give us our roots and provide us our wings. The key to enduring leadership lies in knowing what we stand for and in living by that”. He added, “We believe that great and lasting businesses are never built on quick sands of opportunism. For us at the ‘aditya birla group’, if living by our values means perhaps growing at a pace slower than we would have otherwise liked, so be it.” He went on to say, “It is in harmonisation of the five values that we see the prospect of greater value creation for all our stakeholders. No value takes precedence over the other because if one of them is not followed it negates the very purpose of having articulated a set of value.


I have a feeling that this group has not delivered what it could looking at the resources at command and the times since last decade. This may have been due to scarcity of hands and due to early demise of the visionary ‘Aditya Birla’ father of Kumar Manglam.The young Birla has conducted himself very well and has bought out the values from out of the closet where G.D.Birla had to keep them for some time due to the demands of times in Nehru/Indira era. Now is the time when he has to really speed up. The times that India is seeing are no ordinary times and should be utilised for the advancement at speed for the nation and the group itself. The need of the hour to give greater powers to managers out side the family and have faith in them. He has to shed the fear of loosing capital and be bolder in approach. The conservationist attitude is not the attitude befitting of the times, this is the time when the scores have to made in sixes and fours. The pitch is good, the sun is shining, the bowlers are not delivering bodyline balls, and the empire is not keeping sides, therefore, what one is waiting for. Think of new lines of business, think out of box, you are young Mr.Birla, it is my advice to him, Ratan Tata did that, he can do too. I named Ratan Tata for I also say that values keep the business house healthy at all times.
