·         Alike all export oriented companies rising rupee is detrimental  to its profitability
·         The company’s foray into retail business  with its limited  operating history makes it vulnerable to the fierce competition posed by the established players

·         Top 10 customers accounted for 70 % of the total export revenue and such type of client concentration  poses risks like pricing pressure sudden volume drop owing to order cancellations  etc. might affect the profitability

Inference

Prima-facie fundamentals of the company looks intriguing but underlying weaknesses can’t be ignored. Though Tara Jewels is an export leader but presently it is not having a proven jewellery retailing track record. Tara jewels  had negative ‘Cash flow from operations’ for the financial year 2012 and the same was counter balanced by higher  borrowing resulting in a higher debt-to-equity ratio and problems in interest payment. Besides, geo-political risks like slowdown in USA and any major fall in gold prices would be fatal for the company as we have seen in FY 2009 due to global recession Tara jewel saw its net profit contracted by 67%.In a way to repay debt and for increasing its retail footprint this issue is being floated and the company has already allotted 18 lakh shares to Crystalon Finanz AG at the price of Rs. 225 per share in Pre-IPO placement. Tara Jewel is not a value buy but it has registered a lucrative growth in its sales and profit over last 4 years and investors who are comfortable with the underlying risks may apply for this issue. If Tara Jewel continues to grow in future and performs well on the jewellery-retailing front this stock could fetch handsome returns in future provided favorable geo-political situation and broader markets not going into a tailspin.

A couple of days back, I had written an AFL required by a boarder of a forum I frequent which marked highest/lowest close on a chart by placing a hollow colored rectangle near the close price and printed highest/lowest close value on the stock chart.

We are often required  to ascertain the highest/lowest value for a  a period and this AFL caters this need. We get highest/lowest price bars without actually straining our brain especially in a candlestick chart.
One can change the period as per his requirement while 7 being the default value.



Desired AFL is as follows:


prd=Param("Period",7,5,5000,1);
Hv=LastValue(HHV(C,prd));Lv=LastValue(LLV(C,prd));
t1=H*1.01;t2=L*.998;
bi=BarIndex(); Lb=LastValue(bi);

Hbi=LastValue(ValueWhen(C==Hv,bi));

ph=LastValue(ValueWhen(bi==Hbi,H))*1.01;

Lbi=LastValue(ValueWhen(C==LV,bi));
PlotShapes(IIf(bi==hbi ,shapeHollowSquare,shapeNone),colorTurquoise,0,t1);
PlotShapes(IIf(bi==lbi ,shapeHollowSquare,shapeNone),colorDarkYellow,0,t2);

dch=LastValue(ValueWhen(bi==Hbi,C));
zz=dch*1.01;
dcl=LastValue(ValueWhen(bi==lbi,C));
yy=dcl*.99;

GfxSetBkColor(colorWhite);

Vijay Malllya led United Spirits (USL), the largest Indian liquor company; saw its shares wildly spurting on the bourses today.  
USL shares rose following the declaration of the deal-price of Rs. 1,440 at which Diageo-the UK based liquor major famous for its iconic liquor brand Johnnie walker - will buy 27.4 % stake in the USL.

As per the regulations, Diageo shall have to bring an open offer to buy 26 % shares from public shareholders. USL saw a stupendous rally of 34.7 % in its share price and at the end of the day USL share managed to close at Rs. 1832.95 on the National Stock Exchange.
Funds mobilized by the USL shall help the company to pare its piling debt while Diageo shall be benefited with the USL's distribution channel to promote its own brands.
 Rally in the USL cascaded into other liquor shares like Radico Khaitan, Global Spirits etc which also soared 5-6 % while anothe brewery stock GM Brewery soared 20 %.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, the legendary Indian billionaire investor known for his his expertise in value investing  saw some  of his stocks beating  the returns given by the NSE benchmark index Nifty while rest of stocks under performed and  a few even gave the negative returns since last Diwali to this Diwali.
RK is a long term investor and does not get perturbed when his shares perform unfavorably  for a year or two.
