In INDIA, people generally relate to stock market as “EASY MONEY” or “SATTA BAZAAR”. For them it’s purely a GAME or matter of sheer LUCK and nothing more than that. But seldom do they know, by following certain PRINCIPLES and taking INFORMED decision, this same platform has the power to take them from rags to riches. No doubt, it has a certain amount of RISK attached to it. But every business or investment has it. What more, the Finance Ministry has already made the long term capital gain as TAX FREE whereas the short term capital gain is taxed at merely 10%. On the economic front, India’s GDP is growing and is expected to grow at scorching pace of more than 8%. Unfortunately, even today our market is being ruled and dominated by FIRANGI’s money. But I can see, the day is not far when our general PUBLIC will change its perception and start putting MOST of their savings in equities as an ** Investment **.
Remember, "K N O W L E D G E" and "P A T I E N C E" are the key to success.

For FY06, it is estimated to register total revenue of Rs.30 cr. and NP of Rs.9 cr., which leads to an EPS of Rs.9 on its diluted equity of Rs.10.40 cr. A strong buy with minimal downward risk.

Sales were flat at Rs.4.75 cr. whereas NP was marginally up by 5% at Rs.1.32 cr.

For FY06 ending 30 August 2006, it may report Sales of Rs.19 cr. and NP of Rs.5 cr. i.e. an EPS of Rs.5 on the face value of Rs.4 per share. A good short term bet.

Though it is not as big as Apollo Hospital, but still its available fairly cheap and has potential to double in 15~18 months.
Whereas share prices of all the housing construction companies are hitting new highs, the share price of Vijay Shanti Builders (Code No: 523724) (Rs.35) is trading 40% lower than its 52W high of Rs 57.

For FY06, it is expected to clock a top-line of Rs.90 cr. and NP of Rs.7.50 cr. This works out to an EPS of Rs.7 on its current equity of Rs.10.90 cr. Due to lower profit margins, the company does not enjoy rich valuation but is still a value buy and has the potential to perform well in future.
