Sasta stocks

This is all I've been listening and reading over the last two days. A friend at office tried an experiment on this - he picked ten random stocks given in the tabloids as ridiculously cheap stocks ... surprise !!! ... that herd of "cheap" stocks actually knoocked off 3.4% of an investors wealth in the last two days.

What did I do? I too bought some stocks on 22-May (when the mkt went down by 1000 pts). As I had only 80000 bucks, I divided the money among some 9-10 stocks. Here are my value picks -
a) Amtek India - I bought this again ... at 108 rupees. It's at 120 today.
b) Bank of Baroda - Bought at 227 rupees ... up to 239 rupees
c) Kalpatru Power - Amazing returns ... bought at 641 .... now up to 755 rupees
d) Mastek - up from my buy price of 307 .. up to 326 rupees
e) Rolta India - Bought at 184 rupees. Now at 194 rupees
f) Gujarat NRE - Bought a little more ... at 65 rupees ... its up to 75
g) Rain Calcining - 38 rupees .. 39.10 rupees
h) Tinplate Co of India - 73 rupees goes up to 77 rupees
i) Alembic - 328 rupees .. disappointing up to only 332 rupees
j) Alok Textiles - bought at 73.5 rupees ... at 77.15 rupees

I had my share of fun today .. the BSE fell by 250 points today ... and my portfolio actually went up a miserly 0.4%

The big bank theory

Bankex moved up by 4.02% today. That's huge. The major gainers were BoI, BoB, Andhra Bank, Indus Ind Bank, ICICI Bank Limited, Vijaya Bank and UTI Bank (all over 5% gains and all in BSE A segment)

Of all these, I like Bank of Baroda. At a fwdPE of 8.36, BoB is undervalued. I estimate a 1yr earning forecast of 800 crs+ given the legacy and advancements made by the bank. The current dividend yield is 2.20%, which is slated to increase given the rise in profits.
