New FREE Feature in our INVESTORS SERVICES: Get ALERTS for "Wealth Destroying Stocks"

New FREE Feature in our INVESTORS SERVICES:

Alert for Negative List (Wealth Destroying) Stocks-

             Majority of investors have had the bitter experience of getting stuck into stocks that go down consistently and considerably from their buy price and seldom recover, or recover above their purchase price when it has been so many years that they have already lost on inflation, and interest rates on their capital as well as the opportunity costs that they would have earned out of other investments.

            At MEGHA INVESTMENTS AND RESEARCH, our approach to investing has always given paramount importance to Warren Buffets Philosophy of investing. He said: Rule no.1 is to Never lose money and Rule no.2 is to Never forget rule no.1. Our version of this rule can be: “Return of Capital is important than Return on Capital”.

            Times and again we have always Alerted our visitors about the stocks that destroy their wealth. From now we have made this approach and part of our activity as –A Feature in our “Services for Investors”

            Thus from now on any one activating any of our “Investor based Services” will get this Negative List of WEALTH DESTROYING STOCKS probably with lower targets as well.

            Why Do you at all Need “Alert for Wealth Destroying stocks”?

Many investors complained us that we didn’t throw enough light on ‘correction’ thing in our previous post.

Well, let’s start by defining.

To go further into anything which has attributes of understanding we must define it.

What is the meaning of correction?

{

We take it like this. It says ‘correction’ literally meaning ‘something of a process or act of correcting i.e. making it right which is or was hitherto wrong. But when we apply this definition or meaning to word correction and its use in markets, we do not see integrity.

}

{Because the word is used only for declines in prices and it is never used when prices are rising! (This translates that when markets rise after falling on wrong note, it should be called a correction!)}

……This is interesting with respect to how we want to understand the meaning. Mind it. This is not a time pass or ‘intellectual jargon busting’. We believe this whole contemplation will take us through the understanding of markets and its behaviors…….

So when there is any excess of increase in markets, it is ‘incorrect’ and need to decline i.e correct.

About Market Correction and more

About correction and more-

We were enticed to write this article, by the feeling of amazement the investors were experiencing when they see several stocks making yearly and new lows without making any noise!

They were amazed to see their many of the hi-performer stocks that were analyst favorites and giving them a kick n ride while the hay period of the markets and when it was anything but green on the stock screens.

Correction is a word that is known by all in the market.

You will see any ‘averagely intelligent’ investor saying ‘he will buy in correction’ and that ‘he is waiting’.

But that never happens. Either he jumps at the last movement out of impatience or steers clear by fear of further correction and aversion and pain of notional loss.

Basically, most investors want their stock only to go up from their buy price. Otherwise they will not invest! Or the market is not perfect then!

Why this does happens?

The fact is that they are ignorant and un-knowledgeable. This might sound harsh. But we are not here to please anybody!

Investors simply do not understand when to stay in, when to wait for correction and when to jump in. We will also emphasize the importance of ‘what’ in all these along with ‘how’. Because ‘what’ is what the bottom-line come in the market.

Some of them may know that correction is an opportunity (it is an all-together different subject how to tell a transient correction and a beginning of bear phase. I said ‘beginning’, because as such the bear phase in its form is a boon to investors for a 3 year horizon. We will discuss about it in other article.

So, I believe there are there always a bear phase and correction going on in market! How?

Let’s understand it this way, there are 3 types of correction or bear phases. Any one or more of them is always going on.

1. For the whole market, which most of us are aware such corrections

The following two might sound unfamiliar to you,

2. Correction for a particular sector, and
3. Correction in a particular stock

SKS Microfinance debacle- Some contemplations and comprehensions

What happened with sks microfinance stock debacle and investors losing money is nothing new in stock markets.

The basis of such disasters lies in the craze of investors for their constant striving of ‘new’ and ‘fancy’ (so-called) investment ideas.

Always remember, investors who simply jump to grab every ‘new thing’ on markets, WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THE ECONOMICS OF THE BUSINESS AND LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY OF ITS MODEL are bound to lose money. Long term sustainability is very crucial; even for short term performance of the stocks. Because you never know when a smart investor start exiting and a smart trader start shorting. Its just a matter of time. And you can never figure out when.

This has happened with dot coms companies. You can take example of praj which made short term wealth for investors but since has eroded more than similar amount of wealth. We have many similar examples.

“In fact I would go forward and say common investors (including HNIs), to leave this area of investment to ‘hi-fi’ speculators/investors like the VC funds, PE funds, FIIs and such other sophisticated hard-core professional investors and traders.”

Article on Sugar Sector

SUGAR –

INTRODUCTION TO SUGAR:

Sugar is an informal term for a class of edible crystalline carbohydrates, mainly sucrose, lactose, and fructose characterized by a sweet flavor. In food, sugar almost exclusively refers to sucrose, which primarily comes from sugar cane and sugar beet.

Other sugars are used in industrial food preparation, but are usually known by more specific names—glucose, fructose or fruit sugar, high fructose corn syrup, etc.

SUGAR PLANTS CULTIVATION:

Sugar cane is a hot weather plant, which is why the largest growing areas are in South Asia, Brazil, the Caribbean Basin and the southern United States. Sugar beets are grown in cool temperate zones such as the northern Great Plains, Germany and France. Both cane and beets must be processed into raw sugar very soon after the plants are harvested or else their sugar content will drop precipitously.

PORTFOLIO INVESTING: The KEY TO SUPERIOR RETURNS in market

Approach and attitude for PORTFOLIO INVESTING:

The KEY TO SUPERIOR RETURNS with ADEQUATE DIVERSIFICATION:

Don’t think this is some hi-fi, hni type, academic or finance-jargon!

In our view, portfolio investing is simply a strategy, or attitude or approach towards investments. For example, you want to invest. And by that we don’t only mean investment in equities (stock-markets). We mean, with stocks, investment into debt, real estate, mutual funds, commodities, local/indigenous businesses (we will explain this letter on).

Investment Gems from book "Rich Dad's Guide to Investing"

Introduction to a New Initiative from MEGHA INVESTMENTS AND RESEARCH team:

Friends and readers,

I am very glad to present to you the first step towards a new initiative from Megha Investments and Research.

It is in the form of invaluable excerpts from books and personalities of high esteem, knowledge and vision in the world of investing, finances, business and economy.

Many of you have asked us about our secret of success. And here we present one of the very powerful and important facet of it. We do extensive reading and out of it many times there is only a single line of lesson or learning for us from study of a book of a thousand page. While many times we find a well of lessons from a book as tiny as 20 or 50 page. It is not that we have a line of a lesson or learnings of a hundred pages. Because we do not study books to learn from page 1 to page last. It is the extract mainly. It is those few gems, for some books it is those few lines only; that we earn while doing the task of studying a book. Yes, earn is the word we use. Because when you study a book out of seriousness and perseverance, whatever you learn, you’ve earned it.

Any ways, from now on, under this ‘tag’ of ‘book excerpts’, we will present excerpts and comments wherever necessary,  from the books that we study and feel beneficial to the investor community.

Regards,

Yogesh Raval,

Manager

Click on the Link Below to Read Original Recommendation Article-

http://www.meghainvestments.com/2010/06/basf-ltd-worlds-largest-chemical.html

Then after as well, we have repeatedly recommended on our FREESTOCKIDEA group.

Today, it has hit New high of Rs.676.20.

         We strongly believe, after a rise of as much as 60% rise (from 420 to 676.20), the stock has potential to move further upward to achieve 100%+ return from our recommendation rate.

Our underlying belief in equity research is very simple- Give less recommendation, with strong argument and repeat it.

COMMON AND MUST TO KNOW RULES FOR INVESTORS

• Grab stocks when good companies post bad subdued or less than expected quarterly numbers. This could be a good opportunity to buy at discounted price.
• Always keep a list of good companies ready with the price at which you want to buy their stocks and keep checking their prices. This practice gives excellent exercise to individual investors.
• Always remember that acquisition price will determine your retrun first of all and other variable more so later.
• Keep your investment broking and demat account different from trading account.
• Write this on stone that a Bear market is the BEST time to go on hunting for investors.
• Never work on rumours. That’s traders’ recipe.

QUALITY STATEMENT of Megha Investments and Research

QUALITY STATEMENT

Of MEGHA INVESTMENTS AND RESEARCH

We believe, in our activity, there are two aspects,

1. The quality of Analysis, and
2. The quality of Delivery of service

We strive to remain best in both of these aspects.

Our MAIN FOCUS remains on highering our existing CUSTOMER RENEWAL RATIO than ACQUISITION OF NEW CUSTOMERS.

And that also explains our No Sample Trial culture followed since beginning of fee based services.

1. THE QUALITY OF ANALYSIS:

To take care of this important aspect, we follow top-down as well as bottom-up approach.

We have team of experienced, qualified and MOST IMPORTANLY those fellows who have ability to imagine, work with and deliver through THE MOST OBVIOUS to MOST ADVANCED AND INNOVATIVE in these subjective field of market research and analysis.

We encourage and entertain such study people in our organization, who can imagine of flying in skies while their feet firmly on the ground.

We believe in concept of internationalization and inter-market analysis, i.e. all markets classified into asset-class, locations, and so on are interconnected and increasingly doing so. However, the magnitude and frequency of co-relation keeps changing with times.

We suggest to read 'About Us' page for more views on research and analysis.

2. THE QUALITY OF DELIVERY OF SERVICE:

To take care of this aspect we have put down in place robust systems that ensures,

1.    Prompt receipt of new customer queries and response to it via phone call, SMS, email, contact form.

2.    Priority of task mentioned in 1^st point above for EXISTING CUSTOMERS than new prospects.

3.    Regularity of respective services, and informative SMS when services are disrupted of for other reasons.

4.    Specificity of all the services. This goes with our hard-core approach that we must know what we are offering PRECISELY, and the investor/trader must know what he is BUYING IN THE FORM OF OUR SERVICE.

Many times we help prospects to identify their need and choose right service from our basket of useful services.

We happily apologize for our customer care executives’ rigid behavior in explaining and getting too specific!

Diversification in Investment

Diversification in investments:

      It is literal and clear that diversification has all to do with reducing risk. You may also want to fancy-name it ‘asset-allocation’. Why would one ‘allocate’ to multiple asset classes or ‘diversify’ if one is safely sure about one asset class, and the return on would get, one would never think of any sort of allocating or diversification. Yes it also has to do with the advent of the ‘financial industry’. Recently we see in indian markets the launch of, simultaneously, gold etf and hybrid mf schemes involving equity, debt as well as gold etf investment. Why? They have launched only now? Wasn’t there as need of ‘gold-touch’ earlier? Or in one year only gold has become ‘investible’ or worth giving ‘allocation’? thus most of us do/or should understand, this is about business and they have to sell financial products, any for that matter.

Well, coming to the main topic, lets’ see some expert thoughts on diversification in investing:

Legendary investor Warren Bufferr has said for diversification,

“Diversification is protection against ignorance; it makes very little sense if you know what you are doing.”

He also says,

IPOs-Some Most Important Things to know about

WHEN ITS HOT AND FIREY!

IPOs only and only come in hot and bull market. Why? So that they can obtain the highest price.

MERCHANT BANKERS AIN’T YOUR FRIEND

Investors forget that Merchant Bankers are selling agents of the issuers. And many times they are also given extra fee for performance selling over and above fixed fee.

Merchant/Investment banking is a cream business. So many are in race to get mandates for IPOs from issuer companies. They will do everything to please the company.

SELL ON LISTING? If you’re lucky enough.

Most investors have only one funda for investing in IPOs.

To sell on listing!

They all think that they will be able to sell and outsmart everyone else.

They all feel so because of psychology. They have seen some issues listing at high premium and their listing premiums quoting in so called ‘gray-market’; and this brings the representative bias. The availability bias makes him confront only good and positive news and information. They ignore the discounted/failed listed IPOs. And in hot market there is all news of economic growth as well.

New sectors are not invented every now and then: The fad and fancy for ‘new’ in markets:

Many IPOs come which are highly pricey and shares of some peer company are already available in secondary market. Still
