thks for the info.thats exatly my point all we can do is beleive the mngmnt when they say heavy adv costs  or are they not showing everything as profits, only time will tell otherwise the story does make sense.how they tackle cheap chinese imports  and deal with the unorganized sector will be a key to profitability.the quqlity of their products is no doubt very good,showrooms are attractive.and on a mkt cap basis it is undervalued.i do own the stock at around the current levels
understanding both the power of compound return and the difficulty getting it is the heart and soul of understanding a lot of things

  • Couple of days back there was a news item of Rel Capital's buy out of Kuoni's Travelmate Services, which is into money changing/forex svcs.

 

Hotel rooms in Kolkata are all sold out. Not just for the next few days but for months. Rooms in elite clubs of Kolkata have a long waitlist from now right through December and beyond.

All 240 rooms at the ITC Shonar Bangla Sheraton Hotel & Towers are sold out. ITC Shonar Bangla is currently host to a CLSA Investors' Conference.
All 213 rooms at the Hyatt Regency are sold out.
The Park Hotel, located in the heart of city, is also overbooked. All 149 rooms at the star property are occupied.
"The demand for hotel rooms in Kolkata is there to stay for at least the next three-four years. Even if we start building new properties now, they will not be ready before 2008-09. The crunch for rooms in top-grade hotels is going to continue," said a hotel industry veteran here.
 
------------------------------------
All pointers indicate the huge opportunity in this sector.
 
Basantjee, could you please inform us how ITC's Hotel division could be valued?

No idea really. How many rooms do they have any idea on that? Itc has  market cap of more then US $12 billion so irrespective of what their hotel venture would be valyued at it would be less then Indian Hotels menaing it is insignificant to the whole broad story.

Basant jee, there seems to be a lot of confusion.
 
That luggage company's TV Advt showed a good looking model with background song: BUY BUY, BUY BUY, BUY BUY, BUY BUY BUY BUY....
 
Whereas you seem to have misunderstood the same as: BYE BYE, BYE BYE, BYE BYE, BYE BYE BYE BYE....
 
By the way, if I put a gun to your head, what would you choose: VIP kaa luggage yaa phir VIP* ki Chaddi-Baniyan?

Hey, people have gone grossly wrong predicting things with Guns on their head. A couple of them whom I know have seen their recommendation have turned into gas.  
 
"Chaddi-Baniyan"  is what I would go for. The luggage business is value no doubt but how that value would be unlocked is still unclear to me.
