Fortis Healthcare

Fortis has been in news recently as it acquired some 24% stake in the Singapore based hospital.

I bought some Fortis around Jan 12, 2010 when I recommended it in this blog.

I think it is still a good buy for a long term as it is now the largest health care player in the country after this acquisition with a global foot print.

If there is a blip in the share price, please consider to buy it. I do not think there would be any major correction in this stock inspite of such a great move this year. Every time there is a rise in the price it never retreats or goes back. It falls max 1 or 2 Rs from recent highs.

I would keep this for atleast 2 years+ as the healthcare is booming in India. I would keep evaluating on quarterly basis to see if there is any change it.

Accumulate on Dips....

Wow what a crash of the market over couple of days... from 5200+ to 4900+ and back

During these days I booked entire profit in JK Tyres (it has some steam left, as results are good so it can go further up ... may be 200 or 220) and MRF.

The proceed went to the following.

1. Satyam - I am firm believer come July 2010, when results are out, the stock is going to zoom, may be fetching around 100% return, I will book partial profit at that time and keep holding till I get multibagger kind of returns...

2. Fortis - The results are too good to miss this out, yesterday when market fell, it still went up showing the strength in the stock.

3. Microtech - It is kind of hidden from MF. Once it is noticed it will go up, a PE of 3.5 with book value of 243, stock is at a huge discount at 184 now. I am accumulating this too on dips.

Have opened some position on quintegra for short term play, may be max of couple of months.

HFCL On the Rolls...

Just as I was typing the previous blog putting HFCL for strong heart with risk taking abilities, it shot up later in the day... It went up by 20% circuit.... wiping my loses in HFCL... and it had still some 1 cr shares buy order pending with no sellers available.... so some one seems to be accumulating the stock... might be they know something we do not....

with 3G auction nearing... I believe it is around mid Feb this year, it will gather further steam.. it is first in line for getting 2G auction... with no spectrum available to new players... any global giant who is not in India and want to come in has to take over or partner with existing co with license... HFCL probably would fit that bucket... but then again these are wishes.. but you never know when this ghoda (horse) will run... I expect another couple of days of circuit max... taking it to 18 to 20 zone may be... will book some partial profit and put money in micro tech and fortis....

Some Reshuffling and Tips...

I booked some partial profits in JK Tyres (tips give when quoting at 80... now at 158), MRF (sorry no tips given on this :-)), and Gujarat NRE (tips given @37.. now quoting at 89... sure time to book profit in this one)...

so to sum it all I would recommend booking profit in JK Tyres, Gujarat NRE and yes Hindalco... book partial profit... may be take your principal out and keep the remaining shares as fokat (free)... enjoi....

now coming to the proceeds....

have moved it to fortis healthcare.... for a long term.... healthcare in India would be big time industry going forward so would be accumulating this on dips...

next one is odd man out... Micro Technologies... currently quoting at 206... it is in IT but exclusively on security side... its book value is 243... and EPS is 70... making its PE 3.x ... over 5 years it has grown 10 times from 25cr turnover to 250cr turnover ... this year would make probably 300cr... which would be good... only concern is promoter holding is 36% or so... while they have pledged some 1/3 of the stock.... reserves are in some hundreds of crores... I am not sure why they pledge their shares... still taking some risk for longer term...

BTW... did you check out quintegra.. it is now at 15... remember giving the trader tip at 10... cool 50% in a month... sorry I didnt put anything in the stock this time...

I would be watching out for HFCL .. with 3G auction nearing it is becoming too hot to handle... though I have some exposure in it... Only for very strong heart... it can go 40 or it can 5 or go out of business... currently quoting at 12... so do your own due dilegence...
