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.

So on a consolidated basis, company is estimated to register a turnover of Rs 350 cr and PAT of Rs 32 cr for FY09. This works out to an EPS of Rs 15 on equity of Rs 21 cr. Even a average PE ratio of 5x times scrip can appreciate 50% in a year

Prime Property (60.00) is a small real estate developer based in Mumbai which boasts of constructing landmark residential and commercial buildings for high end customers in Mumbai. Prime Avenue, Prime Centre, Prime Beach & Prime Plaza are few of its popular residential & commercial development at prime area like Santacruz(W) & Vile Parle(W) in Mumbai.

But, company has been regularly bagging new orders and its current order book position is quite impressive at around Rs 700 cr. Two days back it bagged a huge road construction order to the tune of Rs 122 cr from the Muncipal Corporation Pune. Fundamentally, company is having a huge debt of 170 cr due to which its interest cost is very high. Hence to fund its working capital requirement and reduce the high cost debt, company is contemplating to make pref allotment of 30 lac warrants to promoter and promoter group. Meanwhile for FY09 it is estimated to clock a turnover of Rs 425 cr and PAT of Rs 17 cr. This translates into EPS of Rs 13 on current equity of Rs 13.50 cr. A good bet for medium term.

To increase its market share, company is the midst of expanding its capacity to 65 million litres from 42 million litres by setting up a multi-pressure ENA plant along with 2MW bio-gas fuelled cogeneration captive power plant. Hence it may clock a turnover of Rs 150 and profit of Rs 7 cr which translates into EPS of Rs 7 on fully diluted equity of Rs 10 cr. Despite promoter concern and risk of further equity dilution, scrip can bought be declines for reasonable return within a year.
