Updates: Carol Info and J Kumar

I have sent a small note to all while recommending Carol Info and J Kumar on 12 Feb 2008 (Please see below).

Received a note from Raj stating that he bought Carol at 33 (recommendation was to buy at 35 or near while it was trading near 58). Carol came down to 33 levels after 6 months. Raj sold it yesterday Rs 149 levels. A cool 351% in just 18 months without any capital gain tax liability and got two times 20% dividends also.

J Kumar is also more than doubled from those levels of 85-90. J Kumar is an Infrastructure and construction company and this sector had been beaten badly during the same time while J Kumar is doubled from those levels. Again no capital gain tax and dividends of 22.5% and 20% during the last two years.

Patience is the virtue. If invested in the right stocks when Mr. Market is fearful, success is guaranteed…

Highlighting this as an example, because many feel that people can't make money when markets are sliding (2008 was that time) but I believe it is the only time to make money. :-)

By the way, this is what CNBC said on the same day of my recommending J Kumar Infra and I received mails from some of my friends expressing their fears after seeing this news.

My question is, Is it still a good idea to follow CNBC/media channels/ print media/ advice given by an expert or do our home work?

J Kumar Infra not right horse to back post listing:

Niteen,

Based on your stocks recommendations, I had purchased this stock when it was trading at 33, about 1.5 years back and sold it yesterday at 149.

Only thing is that I had purchased just 100 stocks !

Regards

Raj

These two companies should be on the radar to make an entry in this Topsy-Turvy times.

- Carol Info should be on the radar... it is a promoter company of Wockhardt. You would recall that Wockhardt planned for an IPO but withdrew at the last moment due to market conditions. A wise investor waits for such opportunity when the market has completely discounted the stock and enters into it for a long term. It's trading presently near 58 while the year low is 44 and year high is 122. A level near 35-40 would be ideal, but I am not sure if we will be able to get that. In last 3 years it has remained more less above Rs 30 levels so a price near 35 would give a lot of cushion. Also at the issue price of Wockhardt (adjusting 20% discount) it controlled shares worth Rs 250 cr (9.09% stake of Wockhardt) while Carol will be worth Rs 122 cr at Rs 35. A good buy, no doubt about it.

- The another stock to be on the radar is J Kumar Infra. It came with the IPO at 110 and presently at 85-90. A good company in bad timing for IPO. Very good profile, controls large infrastructure projects in Mumbai. I am not suggesting any entry level pricing but this is a good company and would bounce back in times to come.

You may share your opinion.
