If you find that you are so much overburdened with debt that you are having sleepless nights then you should start thinking about some Debt Help without making any delay. You can obviously get some professional Debt Help by opting for a Debt Consolidation Program or a Debt Management Program. But, on your own you can reduce the debt burden if you follow some simple and logical steps:

The first thing you need to do is to have a clear idea of your exact debt situation. Gather all of your credit card bills and loan documents and just calculate exactly how much you owe to your creditors.

Analyze your debt situation by considering your debt amount and your monthly income. Also consider your necessary monthly expenses. If you find that your debt is too big and your salary is too low for repaying the debt, you may think about some professional Debt Help. If you find that your debt is manageable if you act smart, then carry out your own Debt Help plans.

Start paying off your debts with the high interest ones. Both in case of your credit card accounts and other loan accounts, first try to repay those which carry comparatively higher rates of interest. At this time, pay the minimum required amount for the low-interest debts. Once you pay off the high interest debts, start to pay more towards repaying the low-interest debts.

Substantially reduce your credit card usage. If you really want to help yourself to come out of the debt problems, you have to ensure that you are not using your credit cards unnecessarily. If you hold multiple credit cards, cancel some. Keep a few and use them only when you need them genuinely.

Create an emergency fund. Otherwise in emergencies you will again start to use your credit cards. This will lead you to even more debt. So, if you want to get Debt Help on your own, start an emergency fund immediately.

Maintain a debt diary. At the end of every month, note down how much of debt you have paid off. This way, you will not only have a clear documentation of your debt repayment, but will also get a sense of accomplishment and that will help you to remain motivated.

fashionjewelleryRajesh Exports (REL), in a potential game-changing move for the industry, announced plans to sell products at per-gram rate, the buyer paying no wastage, making and other hidden charges. REL said the initiative, promoted as Gold Revolution, would be launched at its Shubh retail outlet showrooms.

Contrary to the general practice of all jewellery stores, Subh outlets will not charge any additional charges like wastage, making charge, value addition charge, etc. REL will sell 22 carat gold jewellery and coins with Hallmark of 100 per cent guaranteed purity.

For example, if a customer buys 10 gms of gold at a price of Rs 1,600 per gm, he actually pays 15 per cent 20 per cent more than the Rs 16,000 jewellery due to various hidden charges. But Subh will charge only 3 per cent or Rs 48 more per gram towards its various costs.

In next 3 years REL plans to open 250 Subh showrooms in various cities in the country, a ten fold jump from 25 at present. This will help the company increase its presence in jewellery retail space which now accounts only for 2 per cent of its revenue. Going by these developments REL is a definitely a stock to watch, in the coming days.

hydroelectric powerSatluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVN) Limited is coming out with an IPO of 415,000,000 equity shares of face value Rs. 10 each.

The company is a hydroelectric power generation company, a 75:25 unlisted joint venture between the Government of India (GOI) and the Government of Himachal Pradesh (GOHP). Currently, the company is engaged in designing, planning, developing, examining, organizing, executing, operating, as well as maintaining hydroelectric power projects.

Details of the Issue:
Issue Open: Apr 29, 2010 - May 03, 2010.
Issue Price : Rs.23-Rs.26.(Retail Investors to get 5% discount)
Market lot: 250 shares.

So what's in store for retail investors in this IPO?

The expected EPS for current year is around Rs.2.5 and the Book value is at Rs.16.The stock is cheaper compared to its peers, but the issue price could have been priced lower. But still this is a good issue to apply for long term. Fundamentally good stock to buy & hold for long term and not for listing gains.

ARSS Infrastructure recently came out with an IPO at a price of Rs.350. The issue was well subscribed and listed spectacularly at Rs.650. Currently the price is around Rs.1300, up more than 300% , so what's the buzz?

To start with, the IPO pricing was done wisely and it left a lot on the table for the investors. The company recently declared the current year's earnings and is well within market expectations. They have done about Rs.60 earnings per share and current price it is well priced at 20 times.

So moving forward, the company is expected to do about an EPS of Rs.110 for FY11 and considering at the industry average P/E of 15 times, the stock is more or less priced in.
Hence one can book profits in ARSS Infra considering its sharp run-up from 700 to current levels of 1300 and wait for substantial correction before re-entering this stock.

masterandstudent-epsIt is earnings season again and various institutions and brokerages have come out with their Earnings forecast for Sensex 30 companies for FY11. Most of them have come out with their estimates in the range or Rs.1100-Rs.1250 for FY11 and Sensex target of about 21000, which is about 20% up from current levels of 18k.

Number crunching:
CLSA – FY 11 EPS Rs 1,046.
Morgan Stanley – FY 11 EPS Rs 1,232.
Deutsche Bank – FY 11 EPS Rs 1,10.
UBS – FY 11 EPS Rs 1,146.
Edelweiss – FY 11 EPS Rs 1,080.
Merrill – FY 11 EPS Rs 1,100.

What does these numbers indicate for an investor?

Looking at the above numbers , the consensus EPS is around Rs.1100 and the Sensex at the higher P/E band of 20, would be at 21k, which is not totally unjustified considering higher growth and EPS for the year FY12.Hence any sharp decline would be a buying opportunity, particularly below 15 times forward earnings i.e., below 15k.

But this correction isn't coming yet and keeps elusive.Instead of timing the market, one could always look for investments in Mutual Funds through SIP route, so that one need worry about ups and downs of the markets and still be able to gain in the markets.
