Stay away
as markets test lower levels
By Sanjay R. Bhatia
The markets displayed a negative trend on the back of weak global cues, spike in crude oil prices and political
uncertainty. Selling pressure was witnessed amidst
occasional bouts of short covering ahead of the
derivatives segment expiry. Traders and speculators
were seen creating fresh short positions. The volumes
recorded remained marginally low with negative
breadth. FIIs remained net sellers in the cash and
derivative segments. Mutual Funds were also net sellers
during the week.
The global cues have remained negative. Crude has once
again spiked above the $140 per barrel due to tensions in
the Middle East and OPEC Chairman's statement that
crude oil prices would touch the $150 - $170 per barrel
during this year. Global markets continued to display a
negative sentiment on the back of the rise in crude prices
raising concerns of inflation, which has continued its
upward march and has touched 11.42% in India. In its efforts to curb the rising inflation, the RBI once again raised the
Repo Rate by 50 bps with immediate effect and the CRR by 50 bps to be implemented in two stages beginning 5
th
July. On
the political front, the Congress and the CPM deadlock over the nuclear deal continued.
The FIIs have continued to remain sellers. The markets have failed to witness follow up buying at higher levels indicating
lack of interest in taking fresh long positions. Now, it is important that the markets consolidate at present levels and
witness some amount of buying. It is also important that global market cues improve for the market to come out of the
present rut. The market sentiment would continue to remain negative and weak and fresh lower levels would be tested.
The Q1 results to be announced next month would be the only saving grace if at all corporate India doles out some
surprises. In the meanwhile, the markets would continue to take cues from the global markets and crude oil prices.
Updates on the progress of the monsoon would also impact the market sentiment along with the inflation numbers,
which are unlikely to come to in single digits.
The Sensex has support at the 13779 and 12884 levels. On the upside, the Sensex faces resistance at the 13989, 14141 and
14677 levels. The 4108, 4074 and 3750 are important support levels for the Nifty. On the upside the Nifty faces resistance
at the 4482, 4647 and 4899 levels.
Investors should stay away.

"It's my way…dear!"
By Fakhri H. Sabuwala
The anomalies in the capital market are indeed many. More often than not they 0catch you on the wrong foot! Only the
shrewd can decipher them while the crazy lot do not understand and live with the irrationalities. No wonder, it rises
when the whole world expects a meltdown or it melts when it is expected to rally. Most of us, it appears, are here for the
thrills and kicks, which it certainly provides albeit at a cost. Sometimes, it is at the cost of one's fortune. Worth it,
nevertheless.
The evening of Tuesday 24
th
June 2008, was darker than usual. No, it was not because of the monsoon clouds but due to
the dim closure of the stock markets earlier in the day and the raising of CRR (cash reserve ratio) and the repo rate (the
rate at which commercial banks borrow from the RBI) by 50 bps each. Such a move coming within hours after the RBI
Governor's statement that action shall be taken as and when the situation demands and now is not the time for it. Maybe,
the Finance Minister may have prevailed upon the RBI Governor to initiate such a blow, which may surely jeopardise
growth but make life easier for vote hungry politicians.
As the hours advanced to late evening and night, reactions of the so-called experts were frightening. Such was the scare
that almost all prayed that the market does not rob us of 400 to 600 points on the Sensex and break all support levels.
Neither did the Nasdaq, NYSE or Asian markets gave clues to avert such a happening.
But…
God's hand you may call it, if you are a believer. Or just irrationality at its peak if you are an atheist. The market did fall
to Sensex level below 13,800 but only for a few moments. The recovery from such lows was possibly quicker than the fall
and the breadth and depth, too, were such that they warrant a mention. Call it short covering or renewed buying interest
or whatever. The best performers of the day were the ones that were expected to lose the most. The Banking & Finance
segment was one that outsmarted every other segment and just galloped away. Can such a development be ever
understood by a rational mind?
Well, just to remind you, it was the natural outcome of the actions of each one of us. Does this mean that we all do the
reverse of what we expect or believe? Is it that the failure ratio in the markets is so high that at times when the consensus
is almost 100% about a certain eventuality, exactly the reverse happens? Strange are the ways of this market. Sometimes
so fictional, yet true, true to the core.
So what does one do? Where does one go from here?
Here lies a lesson for investors and marketmen. The government's inaction to price sensitivity, rise in crude prices,
inflation, nuclear deal etc. revolve around the elections. Ruling politicians feel that a delay may benefit the UPA and bring
them back to power. High time they learned from our markets and realise the way the masses behave. The time for action
is now, right now. Act boldly and firmly and establish your commitment to the nation before going to the polls. You may
get support like never before and win hands down. For polls, too, like the markets are where irrationality rules the roost.
So just do what your heart says….That's your way dear!
Further weakness possible
TRADING ON TECHNICALS
By Hitendra Vasudeo
Last week, we had expected the Sensex to test the lower ranges. The lower ranges indicated were 14581-14424, 13696-
13779 and 12671-12316. The low registered last week was
13731. Thus the 2
nd
lower range was attained.
The Sensex opened at 14423.05 attained a high at 14510.55
and fell to a low of 13731.54 before it finally closed the week
at 13760.78 and thereby showed a net loss of 810 points on a
week-to-week basis.
The Zig-Zag pattern formation is in place and is also in the
last leg of the Zig-Zag pattern formation. The price
implication of the A-B-C pattern is 13696. Last week, we saw
that level get some respect as the Sensex made a low of
13731 and held on to it. But the level will get violated this.
The level of 13696 coincides with one of the higher bottoms
of 13779. Important support ranges for this week on the
basis of the above points are placed at 13696-13779.
If the Sensex sustains and closes below 13696, then expect the slide to be sharper towards the cluster of support in the
range of 12671-12344. The level of 12671 was a top at a point of time and 12344 was a higher bottom at a point of time.
That range can offer support. Therefore, the Sensex on fall and close below 13696 on a weekly basis will take the Sensex
2
first down towards 12671-12344. A bounce from this range can be anticipated and if the Sensex does not hold on to the
range of 12671-12344, then it will have no choice but to slide towards 10928.
The Sensex has violated important support of 14645-14677-15332. These one time supports of the market will now act as
its resistance. The lower top is placed at 15790. Only a breakout and close above 15790 can be the first indication of an
intermediate reversal of the lower top and lower bottom formation.
The weekly pivot lower level this week is placed at 13518 and 12739. On the upside, the upper resistance level is placed at
14014-14298-14571

* The list of stocks that hit new 52-week lows is the longest ever and most of the newly listed companies (over the last 2
years) have hit all time lows. Does it indicate the begining of a bear run?
TOWER TALK
* Even in this market, Core Project & Technologies has taken the approval of its board to raise a whopping Rs.2000 cr. by
way of equity.
* More than the jump in crude oil prices globally, the rising inflation at home is affecting the sentiment the most. Experts
fear the inflation touching 13-14% in few weeks.
* The real estate sector is being butchered the way dotcom companies were in 2000. From DLF to DS Kulkarni, all
construction scrips have been reduced to half or one-third. Is the sector headed for a recession?
* Jubilant Organosys with sales of Rs.1530 cr. and PBIT of Rs.310 cr. is attracting fancy with its new prescription of
growth.
* Even the bonus trump card could not infuse power into Reliance Power. Switch over to NTPC. At least, you can get into
a better stock, valuewise.
* Media stocks still have mutual fund support in select counters like UTV, Sun TV, Mukta, ENIL and Balaji Telefilms.
* With its 1:2 bonus, handsome divided and robust working GAIL is an ideal switch from BPCL, HPCL and IOC. At least,
an investor is invested in the fuel of tomorrow and not the rude crude!
* 'Karaar v/s Takraar ya bachao sarkaar'. That's the agenda for the 10
th
meeting of UPA constituents on the nuclear deal.
The market is watching these developments and expects early Lok Sabha polls by year end.
* Atlas Copco, which was on a downtrend hit the circuit on the news of buy-back. Now that it has been deferred the stock
has gone down again. Who has benefited by the announcement and the deferring of the plan?
Investors may enter a stock only on conclusion of board meeting and not on announcement of board meeting.
* Look for debt free companies in mid-cap and small-cap space. VST Tillers, Macmillan (India) Ltd. are two examples of
debt-free companies.
* Stone India has declared dividend of 12.5% for FY07 and FY08 at one go. At current levels, the stock looks interesting
* Rajendra Mechanical and Jetking Infotrain have announced a bonus. But these announcements did not attract the
attention of value seeking investors in the current mayhem.
* The grey market premium for Avon Weighings Systems was quoted at Rs.5 and Sejal Architectural Glass at Rs.14.

Godawari Power & Ispat Ltd. (Code: 532734)
Rs.207.35
Incorporated in 1999, Godawari Power & Ispat Ltd. (GPIL), the flagship company of the Raipur-based Hira Group of
Industries, is an integrated steel manufacturer with dominant presence in long products, mainly mild steel wire. The
company manufactures sponge iron, billets, ferro alloys, captive power, wires rods and steel wires. Over the last few
years, it has not only scaled up its capacity five-fold but has also got itself backward as well as forward integrated to
emerge as an end-to-end manufacturer of mild steel wires. Today, GPIL boasts of being the third largest producer of coal
based sponge iron in India and is one of the largest players in the mild steel wires segment. The company has also been
awarded rights for iron ore and coal mining for captive consumption; As a result, it has managed to traverse the entire
value chain from raw material to final product and is now a fully integrated manufacturer.
GPIL's manufacturing facilities are located in Siltara industrial estate, near Raipur in Chattisgarh. It produces steel via the
sponge iron route and generates captive power from waste gases produced at the kilns to feed its induction furnaces for
making billets. Post completion of its Phase-II expansion in September 2007, it has an installed capacity of 495,000 TPA for
4
sponge iron; 400,000 TPA for steel billets; 150,000 TPA for HB wires along with 53 MW of captive power plant. Besides, it
also has two subsidiaries, RR Ispat and Hira Steel, which are also engaged in manufacturing wire rods and HB wire.
Currently, GPIL generates power only for captive consumption and it uses the waste gas from its sponge iron plant as
feedstock to generate 42 MW and the rest is generated from coal rejects. Because of this, the company will earn nearly
150,000 to 175,000 carbon emission receipts (CER) under the clean development mechanism (CDM) project.
In 2005, GPIL was awarded two iron ore mines in Chattisgarh, one at Boria Tibu (reserve of approx. 8 million tonnes) and
another one in Ari Dongri (reserve of approx. 7 million tonnes) both about 150 km away from its existing plant. Only last
week, the company received the in-principle approval from the forest department for mining iron ore from 107 hectare
land at Ari Dongri in Chhattisgarh. For the other mine, forest approval is still awaited. In addition, the company has been
allotted prospective license for iron ore mines over 754 hectares at Dhalli Rajhara in Durg District of Chhattisgarh in
January 2008. Besides, GPIL has also been allotted captive coal blocks in Nakia I and II in Madanpur, Chhattisgarh by the
Ministry of Coal in consortium with 4 other partners. Its share is worth 63 million tonnes in the total reserves of 243
million tonnes. The mining activities are under progress and the company will benefit from FY10. Accordingly, GPIL is a
executing backward integration plan at a capex of Rs.235 cr., which includes setting up of 0.6 MTPA iron ore Pelletization
plant, 0.1 MTPA iron ore Beneficiation plant, 1.2 MTPA iron ore Crushing plant etc. In addition, it has acquired 75% stake
in Ardent Steel Ltd., which is a newly formed company, and is in the process of setting up 0.6 MTPA pelletization plant in
Orissa. All these projects are slated to be completed by December 2010.
Meanwhile, GPIL posted spectacular Q4FY08 results and ended FY08 on a buoyant note. Sales and net profit both
increased by more than 80% to Rs.829 cr. and Rs.95 cr. respectively leading to an EPS of Rs.34 on its current equity of
Rs.28 cr. As Phase II of the expansion was completed during Q3FY08, its full benefit will be visible in FY09. Accordingly it
is estimated to operate at 70-80% capacity utilisation and produce 350,000 tonnes of sponge iron and 275,000 tonnes of
steel billets. On the back of higher sponge iron prices and better profit margin, GPIL is expected to clock a turnover of
Rs.1200 cr. with PAT of Rs.125 cr. i.e. EPS of Rs.45 on its current equity. Investors are advised to accumulate the scrip at
declines for a price target of Rs.300 in 12-15 months.
JK Cement Ltd. (Code: 500380)
Rs.88.73
JK Cement Ltd. (JKCL), an affiliate of the JK Organization, was formed in November 2004 as a result of the slump sale of
the cement division of JK Synthetics Ltd. (JKSL), a BIFR registered sick company. Since then, it has made a smart
turnaround with lower cost of production by setting up a captive power plant and is among the largest grey cement
manufacturers in North India and the second largest manufacturer of white cement in the country. It manufactures
ordinary portland cement (OPC) and portland pozzolana cement (PPC) and markets them under its own brand names
such as JK Cement, Sarvashaktiman, JK Super, JK
White and Camel, which are very popular brands.
PPC's margins are generally higher compared to
OPC as each tonne of PPC requires approximately
0.75 tonnes of clinker, 0.05 tonnes of gypsum and
0.20 tonnes of fly ash. On the other hand, each tonne
of OPC requires approximately 0.95 metric tonnes of
clinker and approximately 0.05 metric tonnes of
gypsum. JK Water Proof and JK Wall Putty are its
other premium products. It also exports white
cement to a number of countries including South
Africa, Nigeria, Singapore, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Sri
Lanka, Kenya, Tanzania, United Arab Emirates and
Nepal.
JKCL has three manufacturing plants in Rajasthan
which are producing cement since 1975. Two plants
at Nimbahera and Mangro are producing grey
cement and one at Gotan is manufacturing white
cement. Presently, the company has a combined
installed capacity of 4 million tonnes of grey cement
and 0.4 million tonnes of white cement. Of late, the
company has acquired Nihon Nirmaan facility from
IDBI for Rs.42 cr. and is now expects to start the
production of grey cement with an initial capacity of 0.4 million tonnes, which will enhance its total cement
manufacturing capacity of company to 4.4 million tonnes. Moreover, the company has installed a 43 MW captive power

generation facility consisting of 13.2 MW under waste heat recovery system, 20 MW under pet coke based thermal plant
and 10 MW coal-fired thermal plant. This has led to substantial savings in power costs in addition to generating some
revenue through carbon credits. On the other hand, JKCL has access to large reserves of high quality limestone for both
grey and white cement operations and that too within close proximity to its plant.
To maintain its growth momentum and capture new markets, JKCL has formed a wholly-owned subsidiary called
Jaykaycem Ltd., which is setting up 3 million tonnes greenfield grey cement plant with split grinding unit in Karnataka. It
will have 2.25 million tonnes clinker capacity accompanied by a 40 MW captive power unit and will primarily produce
blended PPC cement. This Rs.1000 cr. project is being funded through a debt of Rs.525 cr. and the balance through
internal accruals and is expected to become operational by mid-2009. Further, the company is contemplating to set up a
grey cement plant at Fujairah in the UAE at an estimated cost of Rs.1,400 cr. The company has already entered into a 90:10
joint venture agreement with the Fujairah Government, whereby JKCL will hold 90% stake in the joint venture.
Fundamentally, JKCL is doing satisfactorily and has recorded 20% growth in sales to Rs.1458 cr. and 50% increase in PAT
to Rs.265 cr. The sharp improvement in the bottomline is due to the tax benefit availed by the company under Sec 80IA
and thereby the lower tax for FY08. Hence it posted an EPS of Rs.38 on its equity of Rs.69.90 cr. and declared 50%
dividend, which gives a yield of nearly 4% at CMP. A few weeks back, JKCL decided to merge JayKaycem Ltd. with itself
which is just an accounting procedure since it is a wholly-owned subsidiary. With rising input costs and anticipated fall in
cement prices, JKCL is expected to clock a turnover of Rs.1500 cr. with profit of Rs.225 cr. on a conservative basis i.e. EPS
of Rs.32 on its current equity. Despite this, at a modest discounting by 6 times, the JKCL scrip can shoot up to Rs.200 in
12-15 months.

Prospects: The Indian pharmaceutical market is poised to grow by 10% by 2010. The pharmaceutical industry worldwide
grew by 7% in 2006 with USA growing at 8.2%. During the same period, Europe grew at 4.4% with an industry size of
US$ 156 billion. Some of the other markets such as Canada and Australia grew by 7% and 6% respectively.
North America and Europe are the largest markets and account for 48% and 28% respectively of the global industry. The
highly regulated US market includes drugs that are under patent and those that have gone off patent and is valued at
around US $276 billion. The global pharmaceutical market is forecast to grow to US $842 billion in 2010, an equivalent
CAGR of 6.9% over the next few years.
More significant, the world's leading drugs are facing patent expiry in the near future. In USA alone, close to US $50
billion worth of branded revenue will be made available to generic competition.
7
Conclusion: APL is an acknowledged leader in APIs particularly in anti-infectives, anti-virals and select lifestyle disease
drugs and has a significant presence in large parts of the world. Aurobindo's goal is to build a globally successful
pharmaceutical company and its mission is to make quality pharmaceutical products affordable to all.
At its current market price of Rs.278, the share price is discounted less than 6 times against the industry average P/E
multiple of about 23. Moreover, in the present uncertain markets, the pharma sector is a defensive sector. Considering its
global positioning, robust performance and bright prospects, the share is a good defensive bet in these troubled times.
The share becomes even more attractive on declines and may be accumulated at every fall for good appreciation with a 2-
3 year time frame.
The outlook remains grim
MARKET REVIEW
By Ashok D. Singh
The benchmark indices declined as soaring crude oil prices, high inflation rate and a political rift over nuclear deal
weighed heavily on the market sentiment. The BSE Sensex fell to the lowest level in 13 months while the NSE Nifty
touched a 10-month low. The Sensex lost 769.07 points or 5.28% to 13,802.22 for the week ended Friday, 27 June 2008. The
NSE Nifty lost 210.90 points or 4.85% to 4136.65 for the week.
The BSE Mid-Cap index declined 473.68 points or 7.85% to 5,558.75. The BSE Small-Cap index slumped 459.59 points or
6.21% to 6,938.07.
The wholesale price index rose 11.42% in 12 months to 14 June 2008, above the previous week's annual rise of 11.05%,
government data released on Friday, 27 June 2008, showed. Inflation for the year through 19 April 2008 was revised
upwards to 8.23% from 7.57%.
Crude hit a record of $141.71 on Friday, 27 June 2008 after OPEC President, Chakib Khelil predicted that the oil prices
could rise to $150-170 a barrel in the next 3-4 months. Rising crude oil remains a major worry as India imports close to
70% of its crude requirements.
After market hours on 24 June 2008, the RBI raised its key lending rate viz. the repo rate by 50 bps to 8.5% with immediate
effect, its highest since March 2002 and the second hike this month. Earlier on 11 June 2008, it had raised the repo rate by
25 bps to 8%. The RBI also increased the cash reserve ratio (CRR), the ratio of deposits that banks must keep with it, to
8.75% from 8.25% in two 25-basis-point stages on 5 July 2008 and 19 July 2008.
Political uncertainty weighed heavily on the market due to confrontation between the UPA government and the Left
parties over the Indo-US nuclear deal. The UPA-Left coordination committee on the Indo-US nuclear deal on 25 June 2008
decided to meet again later to finalise its findings. The Left parties have already made it clear that they will withdraw
their support to the UPA government if it moves ahead with the nuclear deal. Left parties are opposing the deal saying it
undermines India's independent foreign policy and nuclear weapons programme.
The Finance Ministry on 25 June 2008, said the direct tax receipts were up 43.45% to Rs.49411 cr. until 21 June 2008, on the
back of a higher advance tax payments by corporates. Collection from corporate tax were Rs.30655 cr., up 39.81% from a
year-ago, while income tax receipts were up 49.8% to Rs.18756 cr.
Foreign investors, who usually set the trend for the market, have been withdrawing relentlessly this year. FIIs dumped
shares worth Rs.9349.60 cr. in the month of June 2008 till 26 June 2008. FII outflow in calendar year 2008 totalled
Rs.24,719.10 cr. till 26 June 2008.
The market suffered major losses on 23 June 2008 to settle at a 10-month low on sustained selling pressure throughout the
day. The Sensex lost 277.97 points or 1.91% at 14,293.32. The broader based Nifty was down 81.15 points or 1.87% to
4266.40.
Equities extended losses for the fifth straight day on 24 June 2008 with the Sensex falling below the psychologically
important 14,000 mark in intra-day trading for the first time in 10 months since late August 2007. It lost 186.74 points or
1.31% to close at 14,106.58. The Nifty slumped 75.30 points or 1.76% at 4,191.10.
On 25 June 2008, stocks staged a solid rebound after touching fresh calendar 2008 lows in early trade. The initial jolt was
caused by the RBI's move to hike the key lending rate. However, short covering ahead of the expiry of June 2008
derivatives contracts on next day, 26 June 2008, provided the foundation for the recovery. The Sensex gained 113.49
points or 0.80% at 14,220.07. The broader Nifty surged 61.55 points or 1.47% at 4,252.65.
On 26 June 2008, short covering ahead of expiry of June 2008 derivatives contracts helped market move higher for the
second straight session. However, the market underwent choppy swings throughout the day. The Sensex gained 201.75
points or 1.42% at 14,421.82. The broader Nifty was up 63.20 points or 1.49% at 4,315.85.
A setback to stocks in Asia and USA together with the sharp spurt in crude oil prices and political uncertainty due to the
Indo-US nuclear deal rattled the bourses on Friday, 27 June 2008. The Sensex slumped 619.60 points or 4.30% to 13,802.22.
Intense selling pulled it lower to day's low of 13,760.78, which is its lowest level in over 13 months. The broader based
Nifty tanked 179.20 points or 4.15% at 4,136.65.
8
The Sensex lost 769.07 points to close at 13,802.22 for the week. With inflation expected to remain in double-digits in the
coming months, the outlook for the market remains grim for the near term as steaming inflation, record high global crude
oil prices and high interest rates threaten the pace of growth in the world's second fastest expanding major economy,
driving investors to the sideline or to exit.
Market manipulation continues
MARKET
By G. S. Roongta
Last week ending Friday, 27
th
June 2008 is indeed significant and would be remembered as a week full of worries and
wonders. The worries emerged mostly on account of the rise in crude oil prices and inflation, which has vitiated the
atmosphere and triggered a fresh round of speculation whose ugly impact was evident in abundance as the indices
nosedived on the last trading day after having settled somewhat during the week.
Given the global crude oil scenario, the hike in crude prices and resulting inflation has been factored in and most
investors have begun to live with the uncertainty on this front. But expectedly, the crude price hike and the inflation
thereafter provide excellent handles for the bears to beat down the market with. Not surprisingly, therefore, they
hammered down stocks on Tuesday, 24
th
June 2008, despite the RBI Governor, Y. V. Reddy, having assured the nation the
previous day that the Indian economy was relatively better off to contain the high and volatile level of energy prices. His
attempt to soothe the nerves was obviously taken with a pinch of salt by the bears.
He took pains to explain how the central banks had ensured an orderly condition to manage money supply and adjust to
foreign exchange markets in a cautious and continuous manner maintaining a balanced demand and supply position
domestically, which is the main source of our economic strength to withstand the unprecedented shock from the oil &
energy markets. His observation that out of three shocks of food, financial crisis and energy in the global economy, India
is quite safe and better off as only fuel is the main concern that needs to be monitored since demand outstrips supply.
With such an encouraging presentation in the media on Monday, 23
rd
June 2008, speculation about a hike in interest rates
were set at rest while the bear operators were taken aback by the confident outlook presented by the RBI Governor. They
were, however, not convinced and continued to press sales on 23
rd
& 24
th
June 2008 as they saw a political crisis
developing at the Centre over the nuclear deal with USA.
Hence the hike by 50 bps in the CRR and the repo rate announced after market hours on Tuesday, 24
th
June 2008, did not
deal a major blow as it normally would have. The market, which had touched a new low of 4156.10 on the Nifty and
13991.31 on the BSE Sensex finished with a loss of 75 points on the Nifty at 4191.10 and loss of 186.74
points on the Sensex at 14106.58 on that day before the announcement of the hike in CRR and repo rate.
9
Had this announcement been made earlier in the day, imagine the panic it would have created. It did,
however, have the desired impact as the market opened with a down gap of 250 points on the Sensex at
13856 and fell to a new low of 13731.54 on Wednesday, 25
th
June 2008. Correspondingly, the Nifty made a
low of 4093.20. Thus the deck seemed to have been cleared for the Nifty at 4000 and the Sensex at 12500.
But wonder of wonders, the sharp fall ignited all round value buying and left the bears bewildered.
The resilience demonstrated at this juncture reminds one of the Shakespearean character, Antonio, who
offered a pound of flesh for having failed to return the money to the money lender, Shylock, but
demanded that not a drop of his blood should be lost as a consequence. This was exactly the case with the stock markets
on Wednesday, 25
th
June 2008, when the bears were hell bent to hammer down stocks the Nifty 4000/Sensex 12500 levels.
It seems the markets responded 'do what you like but make sure there are no bloodbaths as the markets have been
defamed for this in the past'.
G.S. Roongta
Remember how Lord Krishna responded to the cry of Draupadi, who was the wager of the Pandavas in the dice game
with the Kauravs and was being disrobed after the Pandavas lost the game, and came to her rescue with an unending
saree to tire out the Kauravs. Similarly, everyone was left wondering when the Sensex closed the day with a gain of 113.49
points and the Nifty by 61.55 points against strong speculation that all supports would be stripped that day!
This was the wonder last week after the fear and worries that had set on the first two days of the week. The worries had
coupled with the wonder as stated in the opening sentence of this column.
Market operators, whether bulls or bears, are basically the same. Just as the bulls were in a tearing hurry to take the
Sensex to 25000 or the Nifty to 7000 and exercised their power ruthlessly ignoring the ground realities only to be shocked
and humiliated since 21
st
January 2008, the bears are adopting the same strategy and may have to repent like the bulls did
earlier. They are entitled to encash the fears unleashed by the fuel crisis and inflation or the draining out of excess
liquidity from the market or the adverse political scenario. But their attempt to hurry up the process and pull down the
indices to unrealistic levels is sure to backfire sooner than later.
Readers may recall that I had written about the rampant speculation in the CNX Nifty Futures last week when I cited the
example of the normal ratio of 3 to 3.5 on the Sensex against 1 point on the Nifty. This ratio has been alarmingly disturbed
over the last 10 days fluctuating between 1.5 to 2:1 and sometimes beyond. This is a clear example of the short positions in
the Nifty Futures created to take advantage of the bearish market and force the bulls to cut their positions earlier in the
cash segment or their target prices in the F&O segment due for settlement on Thursday, 26
th
June 2008. But their desire
could not be fulfilled as all round bottom-fishing, as advocated by this column over the last 4 weeks, emerged on
Wednesday, 25
th
June 2008.
Why are the authorities not keeping a strict watch on such rampant speculation and book a few such operators? Typically,
they will wake up after the horses have bolted! Is the system not favouring the bears since they do not have to pay
margins unlike the bulls? When margins are imposed to contain a bull run, why is not a similar step not adopted to rein
in the bears who are rampant?
Since oil prices are likely to remain high and inflation sure to rise, have they been factored in current prices or is the worst
yet to come? Although it is very difficult to answer this question with precision, a great deal on this front appears to have
been discounted considering the u-turn taken by the market with the rise of 113.49 points on the Sensex and 61.55 points
on the Nifty on Wednesday and by 201.8 points rise on the Sensex and 63.2 points on the Nifty on Thursday, 26
th
June
2008. Although some analysts call this as a pull-back rally or relief rally, the fight between the bulls and bears will
continue till such time as a positive trigger like good rains or Q1FY09 results surface in July 2008. They might bring about
widespread relief just as the falling rupee and Q4FY08 results brought to the IT sector.
The risk of early elections is also real and the next few weeks will be very trying. Election news may wipe out the positive
sentiment that a generous monsoon or good corporate results may create. The market may thus be influenced by
technicals, which only favour the trend and ignore all fundamentals.
But by fundamental considerations, most stocks have turned cheap and are available at throwaway prices and
recommended for buying for long-term investment. Just as the market has lost 50-70% from its peak, it is sure to bounce
back once the sentiment turns around. And it will do so in multiples as witnessed in the boom in 2007 when stocks gained
by 500-1000% in a matter of months. Hence investors who are sitting on cash should start bottom-fishing without waiting
for the Sensex to touch 12500 or the Nifty at 4000 as value buying has already begun and will ultimately lead to a change
in trend.

Once again Shakti Metdor Ltd. (Code: 526510) (Rs.157) has come out with encouraging Q4FY08 results. Sales improved
by 25% to Rs.21 cr. and PAT shot up 40% to Rs.3 cr. For entire FY08, it registered a growth of 15% in sales at Rs.73 cr. and
20% rise in profit to Rs.12.50 cr. thereby registering an EPS of Rs.45 on its very tiny equity of Rs.2.75 cr. However, for
FY08, the company has announced a dividend of 30% same as last year with a poor divided payout ratio of less than 7%.
The company is a market leader in making specialised scientific doors, fire doors, stainless steel doors and general doors.
In short, it is a one-shop stop for total door solutions. It caters primarily to the infrastructure industry, information
technology, ITES, BPO, pharma and healthcare sector. To maintain its leadership, the company is regularly expanding its
manufacturing capacity and plans to triple it to 200,000 doors from 60,000 units currently. On the export front, the
company is looking at South Asia, as a possible growth area and is actively exploring it. Despite the rise in steel prices, the
company is estimated to maintain it's bottom-
line to around Rs.13 cr. on sales of Rs.85 cr. i.e.
an EPS of Rs.47 for FY09. Secondly, with a huge
reserve of around Rs.35 cr. on its small equity,
the scrip is ripe for bonus as well. Accumulate at
declines.

Last week, International Combustion Ltd.
(Code: 505737 ) (Rs.376.45) announced decent

respectively posting an impressive EPS of
Rs.14.50 for the quarter. For entire FY08, sales
was up by 20% to Rs.95 cr. and PAT was up by

declared 50% dividend same as last year. The company is a leading manufacturer of sophisticated plant and machinery
for core sector industries like mining, steel, cement, petrochemicals, construction, sugar, power, textile, paper, rubber,
pharma, chemicals etc. It is engaged in manufacturing of heavy engineering equipment, geared motors and gear boxes,
vibrating screens and feeders, bulk material handling equipment, rubber/polyurethane screen decks and liners, Raymond
grinding mills, air classifiers and flash drying system etc. On the back of its wide product range and high engineering
skills, it is contemplating to enter the lucrative turnkey project segment in the foreseeable future. It may end FY09 with
sales of Rs.110 cr. and net profit of Rs.13.50 cr. i.e. an EPS of Rs.56 on its current equity. Besides being a debt-free, it also
has an impressive ROCE of 40% and ROE of 25%. At a reasonable discounting by 12 times, the scrip can shoot up Rs.675
in 12-15 months.
******
Couple of days back, HBL Power Ltd. (Code: 517271) (Rs.241.10) declared excellent results for the March 2008 quarter.
Sales shot up 70% to Rs.287 cr. and PAT has more than doubled to Rs.22.50 cr. Although it reported lower profit on QoQ
basis, the company has been able to achieve and maintain the higher operating margin of 19% due to lower production
cost. Even on an yearly basis, the company has more than doubled its bottomline to Rs.67 cr. on 90% higher sales of
Rs.973 cr. Thus it posted an EPS of Rs.28 on its equity of Rs.24.30 cr. and declared 15% dividend, same as last year, which
is below expectation. At the same time the company has announced a rights issue in the ratio of 1:25 at a concessional rate
of Rs.150 only. However, there is no rationale for the company to raise such a miniscule amount nor will it to benefit
shareholders significantly. Incidentally, the company has put up two new factories at Vizianagaram and SEZ Vizag in
Visakhapatnam at a capex of Rs.150 cr. Apart from supplying a variety of batteries for train lighting, air conditioned
coaches etc., the company has also designed and developed a wide range of microprocessor based signalling products
and power systems to cater to the needs of Indian Railways. For FY09, it is expected to clock a turnover of Rs.1350 cr. with
net profit of Rs.95 cr. leading to an EPS of Rs.39 on its current equity of Rs.24.30 cr. A screaming buy.
******
For Q4FY08, Roto Pumps Ltd. (Code: 517500) (Rs.48.90) registered 30% growth in sales at Rs.14 cr. whereas it's net profit
zoomed by 80% to Rs.1 cr. For FY08, its turnover grew by 25% to Rs.42 cr. and PAT jumped by 50% to Rs.3 cr. on the back
of better price realisations. Notably, the company recorded remarkable improvement in OPM to 15% in FY08 from 12% in
FY07. It even declared a higher dividend of 20% for FY08. The company is a reputed manufacturer of progressive cavity
pumps and twin screw pumps, which have a very wide application in agriculture, domestic and industrial sectors.
Besides India, it has warehouse cum marketing office in Australia and U.K. and a good network of distributors spread
across the globe. The company is in the midst of expanding its manufacturing facility and may register a topline of Rs.50
cr. with bottomline of Rs.3.75 cr. for FY09. This translates into an EPS of Rs.12 on its small equity of Rs.3.09 cr. At the
current enterprise value of Rs.20 cr., the scrip is trading fairly cheap and can double in the medium-term.

Investors are advised to be very careful in buying at higher levels. Market is not likely to sustain higher levels in view of
the following:
(1) Sharp spurt in prices of main raw materials like steel/coal/crude based raw materials has changed the equation in the
core manufacturing sector. Industry is not able to pass on the sharp price increase to customers.
(2) Money market is very tight and interest rates are going up. On the other hand inventories are building up leading
many companies to sell their products at a discount.
(3) There is sharp rise in manpower costs and lease rentals.
(4) In view of the above, profits margins are likely to shrink in the coming quarters. This along with the tight financial
market will force many managements to go slow on their capex plans.
(5) Companies having loan in foreign currencies are likely to make provisions for exchange rate difference which will
further reduce their profits. Many companies have not made provisions for interest in the case of FCCBs. Many of them
may not be converted into equity as many of these stocks are trading below half the conversion rate.
All these factors are likely to affect our growing economy and the growth rate is likely to slip.
With the expected slowdown in growth rates and fall in profits margins of companies, the market may not sustain at
higher levels.
Retail participation in the market has reduced sharply in the last few months. With continued selling by FIIs, we may see
the market inching slowly towards lower levels unless crude reacts to around US $100 per barrel level, which may halt
the downtrend.
The BSE Sensex is most likely to come down to 12000/12500 levels or still lower.
Long-term investors intending to buy stocks can do so slowly at every downfall. Buying should be done in stages as
recovery may take long.
11
Since the market sentiment is weak, investors should buy stocks recommended in this column from time to time, in small
quantity only at lower levels whenever the market reacts.
Investors should also increase defensive stocks in the portfolio as many of them are even available below their book
values. But such buying should be done with a long-term holding strategy.
Avoid all speculative stocks or stocks having no fundamentals.
Investors should avoid the temptation of averaging at lower levels just because a stock is available at 1/3 or 1/4 from its
peak value. This is because many stocks had gone up to unrealistic/unjustified high levels in the last 18 months and may
witness a further downside.
Investment Calls
* First Leasing (Rs.42) was incorporated 34 years back as the first leasing company in India and for several years
remained the only leasing company till the capital boom of the Eighties saw several new entrants.
The company distinguished itself by emphasising on financial assistance to 'Green Energy' in the form of Windmill
Leasing recognising that building a foundation for non-toxic and renewable energy is critically important. It also placed
emphasis on financing Software given its importance to economic growth and as a business opportunity since banks and
financial institutions were reluctant to finance software given its intangibility.
This explains why First Leasing holds 'Triple AS' ratings from Fitch and CARE, two leading credit rating agencies apart
from the fact that it consistently paid dividend every year for 33 years - an enviable record for any company! The
company has recommended dividend of 22.50% for FY08, which amounts to a tax adjusted return of 33.91%.
After providing depreciation of Rs.20.5 cr., net profit of First Leasing rose 22.08% to Rs.30.96 cr. in FY08 as against
Rs.25.36 cr. during FY07. Sales rose 26.50% to Rs.152.87 cr. in FY08 as against Rs.120.85 cr. during FY07.
On its equity capital of Rs.22.58 cr. its EPS was Rs.13.58 while cash EPS was Rs.22.58 while the book value of the share is
around Rs.80.
The stock looks attractive around Rs.40/41 levels as the P/E ratio is just 3 and it is available at half the book value.
Investors can accumulate this stock around Rs.36/40 levels for good long-term growth and earn good dividend yield year
after year. The stock had touched 52-week high of Rs.102.
* Kirloskar Pneumatic (Rs.309) has given an optimistic outlook in its annual report. Its order book position is around
Rs.460 cr. The company is optimistic about gas compressors and high capacity wind-mill gear boxes since there is huge
potential for long-term growth.
The company has good orders for Gas Compression systems for CNG Stations from Refineries and Petrochemicals units.
The company has developed systems for using coal bed methane from huge coal deposits in the country. This translates
into an incredible amount of carbon credits to end users.
It makes transmission products at Hadapsar, Pune, for Rail Traction Gears, Wind Turbine Gear Boxes, Marine Gearboxes
for Naval and commercial ships and gearboxes for industrial applications. Requirements from Railways and Defence for
custom built products continue to be encouraging.

Rs.17.4 cr. for FY08. The stock has reacted from a high of Rs.1800 and is now available around Rs.600 level. Investors can
keep a watch to add on dips.
* Since Ashiana Housing (Rs.70) is almost debt-free, such companies are not much affected in the downtrend. Ashiana
Retirement Villages Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company and specialises in the housing needs of senior
citizens under the brand 'Ashiana Utsav'. The response to this project is beyond expectations. Investors can stay invested
in this stock.

EXPERT EYE
Rolta India Ltd. (Code: 500366) (Rs.260.55) is a multinational organisation headquartered in India, with subsidiaries
around the world and is well-equipped to provide IT services in engineering and internet environments. By judiciously
combining resources from Rolta's facilities in USA, Europe, Middle-East, Asia-Pacific and India, Rolta is able to cost
effectively meet customer expectations in the global marketplace. It enjoys more than 70% share of the GeoSpatial market
(applications like Photogrammetric Mapping, Aerial Triangulation, Digital Terrain Modelling, Orthophoto creation,
Image Interpretation etc.) in India.
Rolta's engineering design business group provides design automation tools and services for a variety of facilities
including power plants, oil refineries and petrochemical plants. Its eSolutions business group provides consulting,
application development and testing services. This group provides network and eSecurity implementation services in
partnership with CA, USA.
Rolta has entered into a strategic partnership with Stone & Webster Inc., USA one of the world's foremost engineering-
construction companies, to provide high-quality cost-effective engineering, design and procurement services, related to
power, refinery and petrochemical projects worldwide. This partnership is envisioned to evolve into an independent full
service engineering and procurement operation pursuing large contract business in India and elsewhere in the world.
Rolta has recently signed an agreement with Thales to establish a joint venture (JV). Thales is a leading international
electronics and systems group established in France more than a century ago, employing more than 60,000 people in 50
countries and serving the Defence, Aerospace and securities market worldwide with revenues of over US $13 billion.
The proposed JV will leverage the broad spectrum of cutting-edge technologies, systems and solutions from Thales and
Rolta's leadership position in domestic and international markets for developing state-of-the-art Command, Control,
Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and reconnaissance information systems.
RIL acquired Orion Technology Inc., a Canadian software and Integration Company specialising in enterprise web-GIS
solutions that will enable it to own exceptional technologies for taking its GIS offerings to the next level of sophistication.
It hopes to generate $100 million (Rs.400 cr.) worth business over the next five years through the Orion Technology.
RIL also acquired TUSC, a Chicago-based company specialising in Oracle related technologies and ERP for US$45 million.
The acquisition will enable it to move up the value chain in the GIS space by providing end-to-end solutions to its GIS
clients by way of integrating GIS output into client ERP systems. TUSC has served over 2000 customers in diverse sectors
like Utilities, Energy, Engineering, Manufacturing, Finance, Insurance, Retail, Government, Healthcare, Services,
Transportation, and Technology.
Rolta has taken possession of 5 acres of land in Nonadanga in East Kolkata for setting up a Rs.250 cr. proposed IT park in
a phased manner. This IT Park will have extensive facilities for delivery of information technology based GeoSpatial
services, Engineering Design Services, Software Development and ERP Implementation Services worldwide. Once
completed, this facility will provide employment opportunity for about 5000 technical professionals and domain experts
from the talent available in West Bengal.
Rolta's management has indicated there is a huge opportunity for it in terms of airport redevelopment, 3D city mapping
and work related to power distribution companies (discoms). It is already involved with 26 airport projects across the
country. Mapping a single city would be a Rs.1.5 - 2 billion project. The company has hands on experience in this as it has
done 3D city mapping for Dubai. It is working on nine projects for power distribution companies.
For its major expansion plans, Rolta raised $103.5 million in April 2006, through issue of Global Depositary Receipts
(GDRs) priced at $5.60 (Rs.250) per equity share. Rolta recently completed an offering of FCCBs of $150 million (Rs.600
cr.) with term of 5 years and one day in the international markets. The conversion price is set at Rs.737.40 (ex-bonus
Rs.368.5) per share representing a premium of 50% over the closing price as on 21 June 2007 on the NSE.
For Q3FY08, Rolta achieved 55% higher sales and earned 44% increased net profit of Rs.65.7 cr. For the first 9 months
ended 31 March 2008, it posted 48% higher sales of Rs.751 cr. and 45% increased net profit of Rs.179.8 cr. During FY07
(June ending) it had posted a net profit of Rs.172.6 cr. on sales of Rs.711.4 cr. yielding an EPS of Rs.21.5 on the then equity
capital of Rs.80.1 cr.
Its equity capital has gone up to Rs.160.2 cr. after 1:1 bonus and with reserves of Rs.982 cr., the book value of the share
works out to Rs.71.3. The promoters hold 40.6% in the equity, FIIs hold 39.2%. Mutual funds hold 2.7%, PCBs hold 2.1%
leaving 15.4% with the investing public.
13
The spending on engineering services is projected to increase from US $750 billion in 2004 to US $1.1 trillion by 2020 and
the potential engineering market in India could exceed US $60 billion by that year. This presents immense possibilities of
growth to Rolta in the years to come.
The Indo-US Nuclear Treaty approved by the US Senate and the Indian Government plans envisaging a capacity addition
of 40,000 MW over the next 10 years through nuclear power generation, which has opened tremendous growth
opportunities for Rolta as its JV partner, Stone & Webster, is one of the world leaders in nuclear power technologies.
Rolta is already working with its JV partners in China on nuclear power plants. But if it starts happening in India, the
upside will be much larger and Rolta believes that it would happen.
Rolta's acquisitions would be beneficial in the medium-term as its combined offerings enable it to provide enterprise level
solutions to their clients. Acquisitions also provide cross-selling opportunities of their respective service offerings by both
companies to their existing clients.
Rolta is well-positioned to tap opportunities arising from the core infrastructure development and increased usage of
geospatial data in infrastructure development projects. The rising input costs, mainly employee cost and lower margin
acquisitions, are likely to impact its margins in the near future. However, the higher blended billing rate gain arising from
improvement in employee productivity and redeployment of IPRs would offset it to some extent. Its strong order book of
Rs.1380 cr. provides decent growth confidence in coming quarters.
For FY08 ending 30 June 2008, Rolta is likely to register sales of Rs.1050 cr. with a net profit of Rs.250 cr., which would
give an EPS of Rs.15.5. Sales are expected to advance to Rs.1490 cr. in FY09 with net profit to Rs.345 cr., which would
further enhance its EPS to Rs.21.4.
At the CMP of Rs.260.55, the share is trading at a P/E of 18 on FY08 EPS of Rs.15.5 and 13.1 times it's FY09 EPS. The share
is recommended with a medium-to-long-term target of Rs.375. The 52-week high/low of the share has been Rs.390/200.
******
The results of Ramsarup Industries Ltd. (RIL) (Code: 532690) (Rs.125.90) went unnoticed by the marketmen in the
subdued market sentiment. Its EPS is likely to go up to Rs.41 in FY09 after expansion and merger of its group company
from Rs.33.5 in FY08. The share is available at a forward P/E of just 2.8.
RIL commenced its manufacturing activities in 1966 in the name of Ramsarup Industrial Corporation. Its plants are
located at Kalyani Industrial Area, Nadia in West Bengal. It produces steel wires (coated and uncoated) in several grades
and applications. RIL also has a wind mill at Dhule, Maharashtra, to generate 3.75 MW of power annually. It is the largest
supplier of steel wires and TMT bars to the power and infrastructure sectors. It has recently forayed into building power
infrastructure. The company has five units viz. Ramsarup Industrial Corporation, Ramsarup Utpadak, Ramsarup Vidyut,
Ramsarup Infrastructure and Ramsarup Nirman Wires.
The company's products find application in Power (40%), Railways (5%), Roads & Bridges (10%), Housing &
