2 Ideas
1) the rights were offered when the share price in market was more. check the price on that date.
2) the rights might be useful if the price on the date the right shares get listed is more [expected to be more] than the price at which they have been offered.

If the rights have any value in the market, between today and the day the offer lapses - sell the rights then and there.

If previous 3-4 years are anything to go by, the annual trend is usually opposite to the trend on muhurat trading day.

I'm sorry I did not understand perfectly well. The scrip is Tayo Rolls. Rights offer is Rs. 126. Currently the stock is trading for Rs. 90. What do I do?

Also, please correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldnt right now be a good time to stock up on some blue chips? Performers that if not anything else have good divdend payouts?

Buy the blue chips only if you have a 2-3 year long term view. For short term not feasible yet. On my part am still not sure as this also doesnt seems the bottom. 9000 breach means next is 6000

Don't do anything. You can't do anything! At this time the company's management would itself be puzzled!

The rights are worthless.

All I was trying to say was, the rights might be worthless now, but in case the share price bounces back [and is expected to stay up there] before the right issue closes, the rights will have some value. At that point of time instead of subscribing to more shares, sell the rights. [practically it's highly unlikely before 19th November when the issue closes]

How do you sell the rights separately? - there's something called splitting the right from the share, using a split form. [read your offer document]

"Disclaimer - I do not have practical experience in dealing with splitting rights, theoretical YES"

Bluechips are high priced shares with high PE ratio, therefore dividend payouts are not very material compared to the price you pay to buy them even at the best looking prices.

For just holding blue chips for long term gains, let the market find it's bottom first. That said there might be more scope if you wait, than buying now. [Bear]

I have been switching my portfolio.

Those stocks which I feel risky, ie
Companies having significant foreign exposure.
Companies requiring huge working capital.
Companies in commodities business.
All small cap stocks.
All expensive PE stocks.
All momentum/punters' favorite stock.

I have sold them all in the last 3-4 months.

Accordingly, I had sold JP Associates, Suzlon, L & T, United Spirits, Reliance capital, Karuturi Global, Aban offshore, I-Flex, Welspun Stahl, Cairn, Sesa Goa, TV-18, Etc (some sold with significant losses some with good profit)

Now, I am concentrating on few stocks which have strong domestic business and coming with good results.

I have slowly started accumulating following stocks:

Educomp (started accumulating below 1900), Axis Bank, Bank of India, L&T, Tulip Telecom, Titan, and Bartronics.

Also, I am "swinging" with some punter stocks like JP associates, punj lloyd etc. Buying on panic days and sell once they come into my demat a/c. Then, playing some intraday with little profit/loss.

Since I am full time into stocks, I have to do lot of circus and surviving this terrible time is my only goal.
cheers:

But all said and done, its a solid company with solid results. I may buy some more now.

Hi Spadival
I don't think you are aware that L&T had declared a 1:1 bonus and the price you see now is ex-bonus. L&T's 52-wk high was 4690 and the current ex-bonus price is Rs 768. So actually it's Rs 1536, if you take the bonus into account.
You can always give L&Ts to me if they are free.

I do not want to look at my portfolio. I am doing quite fine with mutual funds, but almost 70% capital erosion with respect to stocks. I have decided not to sell them for a couple of years.

Maybe, you need to relook at the latest NAVs.

+ 1 here. Nowadays, I have stopped looking at stocks. Just keeping myself invested. Dunno till what time. At least I should earn a decent 25% profit then only I will abe to sell of these.

The NAVs has also come down. I have Sundaram BNP Paribas, LIC-Equity based, Birla Sun life, ICICI Pru - Infrastructure fund...All are trading below the NAVs what I ahve purchased at...but I have bought SBI Magnum growth with a lock in period of 3 years.

This is the time to buy in small quantity (20% of your cash each day) between 27th october to 1st week of November. Expect huge bounce back by November end. Then again there will be bumpy ride!

Nifty can reach upto 3300 levels by November end If it holds up 2000 level as bottom by october end.

My pick would be LT, Reliance, Zee News and lot of stocks corrected too much. But remember india is still costlier compared to gloabl market. So anything can happen.

Regards,

Ravi.

You are talking typically like the CNBC analyst. Opening in one direction and then issuing a caveat in the opposite direction. It's like telling a pregnant woman before delivery - you will have a boy but you may also have a girl.
What is the basis of all that you say? L&T alone has fallen about 8 per cent since you spoke. Do you know the book value to price ratio of L&T?
