Two stocks that you would like are Visaka Industries and Precision Wires. Why not start a thread on these?

SInce you have been championing the cause for micro cap investing I thought these two should be started by you. They are both at 5% yield.Big%20smile

What happened sir.............no new stock introduced......????? 
 
For the next two weeks, I intend to increase my holdings in all the recently acquired micro-caps & smallcaps. No time to do research on new stocks.

For the last year, Precision Wires has drastically reduced its dividend to Rs. 0.80 per share or about 1.5% at CMP of Rs. 55.20. The ex-date for this is 10/9/2009. Management were quite blunt while announcing this, saying it was time to conserve cash.

The stock price has appreciated by about 45% in the last ~1.5 months and this has caused the exchanges to move it into the T2T group about two weeks agoPinch.

Another dividend casualty......?
 
Another such company which comes to my mind is Tata Metaliks. The most shameful point about Tata Metaliks is their attempt to 'justify' the loss in the Annual report. Luckily for them, I am not a shareholder in this company, otherwise I would have definitely attended the AGM and crossed swords with them with all my might.
 
Am also looking forward to Thirumalai's report....but I dont expect it to as shameless as tata metaliks.
 
The thing is, these commodity users have tried to speculate by jacking up inventory levels to abnormal levels when prices were moving up and bore the brunt of the inventory loss when the price of raw materials collapsed. Thats the problem of selling a product which is not 'differentiable'....these companies simply dont have any market power, and are price takers.

Visaka looks pretty decent - will take a close look at it (along with Banco) for my next round of investing.

What is the total number of stocks in your portfolio
 
55. Top 5 stocks contribute 42% to the portfolio weight though.

If you are looking at Visaka, also have a look at Hyderababd Industries.

I don't know about these specific companies.
 
But I have an impression that some of these companies have taken a lot of the hits right now in terms of inventory writedown when the going was tough in any case...so that they can show better growth going forward.
 
Not sure if this is ethical behavior but i doubt it can be faulted on accounting grounds.
 
One such example is Apar.
