Stockselect Performance Review 1 January 2011
In 2010, the BSE Sensex managed to crawl back to the levels seen in early 2008. But it was definitelynot a smooth sail for the benchmark index. And there may be more negative surprises in store in 2011.In the past few months, scams shook the nation. So much so, that 2010 has been called as the ‘Yearof Scams’. The 2G scam at Rs 1.8 trillion was probably the biggest case of political hoodwinking thatthis country has ever seen.
In the last quarter of 2010 (October to December 2010), QE-2 accelerated the inflow of cheap moneyfrom global markets. With a record level of FII inflows this year, the Indian indices hit their previouspeaks once again. At the same time, stock valuations were sent rocketing skywards.
Insufficient liquidity levels prompted the RBI to temporarily halt its rate increases. However, withinflation showing no signs of easing off, further rate hikes are on the cards in early 2011. Rising inputsprices have now become a major tipping point. Companies which can pass on these increased coststo their customers may lose out on some volumes. The others who cannot will see margin pressures.All in all, things do not look too rosy based on the current inflationary environment.
In 2010, we saw some of our buy recommendations hitting their targets well before the time frame of 2to 3 years. Select stocks in the banking, auto, and pharma space were amongst the top gainers. Onthe other side, over a third of our recommendations this year were ‘Sells’. We did see an up move insome stocks post our ‘Sell’ recommendation. But, the main reason why we asked you to avoid addingor holding them in your portfolio was because most of these stocks were trading at unsustainablevaluations. We thus advised booking profits at those high levels. Rest assured that we will continue totrack of their movements and advise you when the valuations once again offer reasonable upsidesand margin of safety.
While stepping into 2011 we hope that the regulators and companies have learned from their mistakesin the past year. We also hope that the vices of greed and envy are shed and companies take intoaccount the long term interests of their stakeholders. We advise investors to buy into only thosecompanies which have strong and stable managements and ability to tide over margin pressures, atreasonable valuations.
With the completion of 52 StockSelect recommendations for 2010, we present you a review theirperformances and our outlook for their future. Nearly 91% of the large-cap stocks recommendedBuy/Hold in 2009 and 40% of the stocks recommended so far in 2010 have already met theirrespective target prices. Here is a review of our StockSelect recommendations over the past twelvemonths.
