Stock Trading Tips, Analysis & News

Today Satyam board made announcement of new CEO. AS Murty will be new CEO of Satyam. Murty was global business head of Satyam. Board also announces Board also announces Homi Khusrokhan and Partho Datta as special advisors. Satyam got a loan of 600 Cr as working capital from banks.

In between it is believed that Satyam has paid employees salary for january month from a cash balance available at company, this makes clear that company had cash balance. I suspect from day 1 since Raju’c confession that Satyam already had a cash balance & Raju diverted it to his infrastructure company Maytas over last 3-4 years. Company was never running in loss, it is profit making company. If company were making losses how Raju able to pay salary of 53000 employees over so many years? According to some sources Satyam requires 200 Cr per month to pay salary of employees. This couldnot be possible for loss making company to bear that much manpower. So it is clear that Raju siphned money.

I don’t know when investigation result will be out, why it is taking too long time to unreveal true story. And now SEBI is investigating Raju behind bars. It already have investigated Raju last 2 days, still they have 2 more days left to investigate him. Meanwhile market has taken it negatively and Satyam share cracked down from 61 to 46 in last 3 trading sessions. Poor investors again got stuck, some of them have bought shares above 100/-, they are suffering all this loss unnecessarily. I think SEBI might announce open offer auction in this counter as early as possible so that investors wont suffer anymore loss further.

At friday IOB (Indian Overseas Bank) hits all time low 60/- in intraday and closed at 60.95 by end of day..It is good opportunity to invest into IOB as share is extremely cheap according to me and one can easily get approximately 80-100% return in this counter.
Its price per earning ratio P/E is 2.67
52 Week High  190
52 Week Low   59.50

Net profit 388.4 Cr Quarterly

Its P/E is really very low as compared to other Banking Sector stocks where P/E is more than 4.

On friday Gold hit record price of 14400 on MCX. It seems like investors are bullish on gold as it is comparatively safer than stock market investment. I think market can go down from here as peoples are withdrawing money from share market and investing into gold. The same thing was happened in Nov 2008 when market marked its low 7500 level on the eve of Diwali & Gold was moving up.
