Bought 261 shares of Karnataka Bank. The ceo exit provides a great opportunity to enter the stock at just 0.6 time current book value. At 12-13% roe it deserves at least 1 time book value multiple. So in 3 years its a 2X opportunity.

Rationale:
#Indusind Bank has fallen over 60% from its 52 wk high of 1700 approx (microfin + derivative issue) and the problem that its facing is a lot magnitude lower than what icici bank was facing during 2015 to 2018 period and it fell top to bottom only 54% and bottomed out at 1.4 time PBV. But due to internet and the velocity of newsflow along with algo trades the stock has collapsed at such rapid pace which has stunned the participants. But its a story across the world due to tech. TSL, NVDA Bitcoin all falling 40-50% at a whim and then again goes up equally fast. This is the new normal. Leverage and Technolgy together has amplified the ferocity of movements in stocks.
With 865 book value on 1st April 2025 and at least 950 on 1st April 2026, with all the negative sentiment getting priced in next 5 months, positive reports will start flowing in. The stock should reach 950 at least by 31st July 2025 (around 4.5 months from now). Eventually the stock should start trading at 1425 (1.5 time PBV) by 30th April 2026.

****************************# Exiting all the stock positions to go 100% cash.
# Primary reason being the market on steroid which is exactly the opposite of what was happening in march 2020. At 40 time pe multiple based on FY-20 EPS the market is extremely overvalued and stretched. Even if we assume FY-23 Nifty EPS of 700 (almost double of FY-20), it is still trading at 20 times forward multiple.
# At mid sized bank the deposit is yielding 8% or 12.5 pe multiple while the stock market is trading at 40 times on TTM basis and 20 times on an optimistic eps assumption for FY-23 FY. I would rather keep my money in debt rather take risk on stock at current levels. Hence the cash call.

Updating the model portfolio after a big gap pf almost 1.5 years and there has been dramatic moves in stock markets across the world during that time. The pandemic made everyone felt that the world is coming to an end but things stabilized after some time and we are starring at all time highs in all the markets globally. The stimulus packages across the world to soften the impact of covid on economy is creating a downward pressure on currencies across the world and that is fueling inflation in all the commodities.
It was the first time in history that Crude oil futures contract went into negative (-40) in march 2020 which essentially meant that producers were paying for you to hold the stock. That was unprecedented. By the end of the year things reversed 180 degree and commodities are witnessing massive inflation.
One such commodity stock is in our portfolio which is tata steel and steel prices being at all time high, the sentiment is very bullish on the stock. Hence to cash the euphoria, the holding in tata steel is being vacated. Also selling ongc at loss since the company has started making losses due to mismanagement, high debt, low gas prices etc. Since govt revenue is under pressure, likely OFS issues and capital raising will keep the stock under pressure.
# Sold Tata steel 200 shares at 720 thereby generating a cash of 144000 and profit of 75000, a return of 108% in 1.5 years.
# Sold ONGC 500 shares at 98 thereby generating a cash of 49000 and a loss of -15500.

^ Tata motors dvr is kept intact as this appears to be the most undervalued stock in cnx 500. Due to brexit, pandemic and massive fall in CV sales in India, the DVR stcok went to a low of around 29 in march 2020. At that time the market panicked and discounted bankruptcy for the stock. But with all the cost cutting measures undertaken and significant improvement in local PV sales along with expectation of good FY-22 sales in CV and PV, the company is expected to do at least 35000 crores of operating profit on consolidated basis which value the company at 0.87 time OP at cmp of Rs. 80. That is absurd valuation and beyond my understanding as to why such kind of valuation is given to a company which is generating over $40 billion sales, employs over 80000 people and is a significant company of Tata Stable. Governance, scope of electrification should itself give much higher OP multiples in future.
so even if we discount OP multiple of 2 times next year then the DVR stock must be valued at Rs 183 on very conservative basis on the expanded equity shares of 382 crore shares after capital infusion by Tata Sons.

** The Portfolio churn has reduced the networth at cost by roughly 16% since 7th March 2019. Exposure to large global stocks should make up for the losses in coming months. Midcaps and small caps might have bottomed out but lack of confidence, recent memory of bloodbath and poor income growth due to economic turmoil will keep their prices in check and investors are not going to bid up and buy in hurry except selective stories. Hence the exposure has been entirely shifted to undervalued large caps.

The portfolio witnessed 22% appreciation in just 3 months which suggest the kind of euphoria getting built in the stock markets. It was not expected when I picked stocks just 3 months back. This appreciation is not bcoz of my superior stock picking skills but bcoz of benign environment. From portfolio standpoint there are no good opportunities easily available at these levels and hence taking a call on sitting on 100% cash. It seems globally a significant correction is imminent as the markets across the world have been running as if there is no tomorrow and ignoring all the potential risk. Staying invested is mutual funds mandate but retail shareholders have the choice and flexibility to stay on cash when nothing is worth buying.

****************************Restarting the portfolio with some names where significant opportunities are emerging.
Bharti Airtel: After all the scare that RJIO created in the telecom market, I believe the strongest player will only get stronger from here onwards. Bharti Airtel is the last to fall if competitive intensity carry on at the same pace. In this along with the sector govt revenue is also getting impacted. Hence some sanity should come to this space and should make very good return in next 2 years.
Majesco: A U.S based P&C insurer trading at EV less than sales while its nearest competitor guidewire trades at many times sales. I expect it to generate multibagger returns in 2 years if management continue to make deal wins from large insurers.
Hinduja Global: The stock is trading at roughly one third EV to sales based on FY-18 numbers.
Mindtree: One of the best mid tier IT services company. I expect in next 12 months the policy related issues in U.S will get largely over and the stock should start commanding at least 16-18 PE multiples on FY-19 earnings.

****************************Considering the headwinds in terms of chaotic demonetization and its likely impact on growth along with GST rollout which is likely to be negatively impacting the GDP in short term, the portfolio is being liquidated to stay in cash for some time.
Also there are many events lined up such as Italian Referendum, U.S rate hike, and the impact of GAAR being applicable from 1st April 2017. FIIs did almost 20000 crores of selling in the month of Nov in equities and similar amount in debt as well. All these things are pointing towards either a correction or a lack luster market for next 5-6 months.
So in my view Fixed Income is relatively safer place to park money at this point of time from the risk-reward perspective.

Key Points:
## Mastek Ltd is trading at a valuation equivalent to cash and investment (13% stake in Majesco). The company is focused on IT services now and should do well going forward as Mastek 4.0 matures and clients get results. Its U.S subsidiary Digility has started generating business and the co. is looking to acquire a small to mid sized IT service co. in U.S to reestablish its position in the worlds largest IT market.
## L&T Infotech is probably the cheapest mid sized IT service company in India and is trading at roughly 10 times FY-18 EPS
## Cairn India is replaced by Selan Exploration which is also in to oil production but is a much smaller player compared to cairn India. However the company is cash rich and worst of oil fall seems to be behind the company. With huge 2p reserves the company has potential to generate significant cash flow going forward.

1. Market has panicked about Bharti And idea cellular while the major impact of JIO launch will be on Uninor, Videocon, Aircel & Rcom. Excluding Bharti, Idea and Vodafone there are 400 million connection which would get impacted first.
2. JIO is actually protecting ARPU and targatting 500 bucks a month from each user. If it happen it will be a god send opportunity for incumbent operators as their ARPUs also goes up.
3. In 5 years time there will be at max 4 large players with all marginal players consolidated and a very strong industry with all the characteristics of an excellent business like consumption item, significant cash flow, very high entry barrier etc.

Note: Market is highly exuberant on the back of foreign liquidity which is making many stocks in the market very expensive. Staying 100% invested in this kind of market leaves no room for margin of safety and hence will wait for correction to dabble into stocks which we like as a business and are comfortable paying the price. Staying invested at current levels might give us a max of 10% return over next one year on index level but the risk on the downside is quite large in case something goes wrong globally or locally.
In terms of local risk, the risk to inflation is slowly beginning to reemerge which will get exaggerated if crude moves to $60 by the end of this year. This is turn will put pressure on our currency which could depreciate to 70+ in a year's time as most of the world is facing deflation and U.S is having less than 2% inflation while we are having more than 6%. Earnings have been largely disappointing for 9th quarter in a row and is expected to stay weak in Q2 as well thereby pulling down the eps estimate once again for FY-2017. With all the good news being priced in the stock prices today, it doesn't make sense to buy the euphoria. As value investor it's always the other way round. We buy the fear and sell the greed.
As on 19th Aug the model portfolio (at market price) has delivered over 115% of absolute return since 21st March 2013 (portfolio start date with Rs. 1 lakh capital) while Nifty has delivered 52% return since then. Since we have already outperformed the market significantly we will wait on the sidelines for sometime before market gives us an opportunity to utilize cash in our portfolio.
