Rakesh Jhunjhunwala bets on Viceroy Hotels


Rakesh Jhunjhunwala bets on Viceroy Hotels? Its a Bad Buy Really

 

 A lot of people get excited about some of Rakesh Jhunjhunwala's stock holdings. Not all of them are good for Investors. Viceroy Hotels is one such stock.

Jhunjhunwala holds 10% in Viceroy Hotels, but its worth only 15 Crores. Considering his overall portfolio size of over 4000 Crores, his allocation towards Viceroy Hotels is only 0.375%


Lets analyse Viceroy Hotels with a neutral and realistic view. It runs at a debt of 867 Crores with 2 Crores cash in hand. Revenue has stayed flat around 70 Crores in the last 5 years. Profits have turned into losses and has made losses in the last 3 years. Its a bad buy really. One should not blindly buy stocks, just because Jhunjhunwala holds stake in them.

Trading Stratergy for 19 Nov 2012 Monday



Are You a Gambler or a Trader ????

Here is a quick checklist to see if you are a bad gambler or a good trader:

  • Gamblers have a disadvantage to the house, good traders have a  system that gives them an advantage over other traders.

  • Gamblers always leave the casino broke no matter how much money they are up at any given time, good traders make money consistently.

  • Gamblers risk money randomly, good traders risk preset amounts of money on each trade.

  • Gamblers do not understand the odds against them, good traders understand the risk/reward ratio in every trade.

  • Gamblers enter a casino with no understanding of their risk of ruin, good traders manage their risk of ruin so it is close to zero.

  • Gamblers use emotions to make decisions, good traders use a trading plan for each decision.

  • Gamblers have ego problems when they are winning, good traders are humble while winning.

  • Gamblers go all in to win big, good traders trade just big enough to make a meaningful profit.

Tata Coffee has been rising and spiking in the last 2 days. 20% upper circuit on Thursday and an intra-day high of over 15% yesterday.

Its coffee supply deal with Starbucks, which has started opening stores, strong results in the recent quarter make it very attractive.

Tata Global Beverages and Starbucks joint venture, sources coffee from Tata Coffee, started rolling out stores last month. The initial response has been very good and that also means better offtake for Tata Coffee.


Tata Coffee has also recently set up a new roastery in Coorg, Karnataka, from where it will initially supply to the Tata Starbucks outlets in India and then aim for gradually supplying Starbucks' outlets around the world.
