At least in undergarments, there have been three new listings - Lovable, Rupa and Lux. While I do not think the consumer bull run has reached its peak, I do agree that fresh investments in this sector at current valuations may not be a good idea. Its better to either wait for a correction or look for a different theme.

These undergarment player do have some "clothes". Yeah, I think we have a lot more steam left given that we're discussing downturns

Subuji,
I read elsewhere you mentioned Hawkins,TTK etc are 1 billion companies - market cap i assume. Do you mind elaborating a little? What made you conclude this?

Take your chances and keep them in a box until a quieter time.

Prabhakar, Sorry, about that...... i meant upside is sort of capped by 1 billion - 2 billion sort of valuations. Please let me know if the upper cap funda makes sense to you. That is atleast how the businesses appear to me at this point.

On a different note: The success of Bihar in recent times in terms of attracting newer investment and in growing shows that starting off from a lower base helps achieve faster growth percentages

Very True...I have also tried my hands with GEODESIC for its low valuation..fortunately, I have not put big money & learn my lesson very fast & without paying big "TUITION Fees"...
Now I don't look any Low PE stock <5 PE...even I feel more comfortable with 40 PE stock than 4 PE stock these days...
