Perils of buying a cyclical stock late. I remember some friends buying IMFA at 750 a few months back, Had advised that buying late or mid-cycle may have its perils. IMFA, I would buy only at 400-450 levels. I am very conservative.

Thanks for the reply Jiten for the advise.
Had accumulated IMFA around 500 levels in early August. Sold off my holdings today, may enter at lower levels if they come.
Cheers

Metals/mining and infra sectors really playing out well.

Yes Jiten sir. Are you tracking Godawari Power and Ispat. Looking good to me even at CMP for good returns.
Is it advisable to buy any cyclical stocks (metals/mining and infra) now?
On godavari power and ispat, the numbers are compelling and would be a great turnaround story if steel story plays as expected.
However I feel Jindal Steel is a better candidate.

your post Mr. Jiten is great
My first question how do you decide when to exit from a cycle. Can you break up about each cycle exit point as you said that you have exited completely from paper. what factors help to decide when to exit . I am very new to this market .
also which commodity shares can we enter at this point of time as all shares have already gone up
Yes. Niteen and me have worked on this scrip together. He has done amazing work.
how do you decide your exit
Best exits are generally at peak earnings.

Do you mean to say in comparison with previous historical high ?
No. Current one’s. And for that u have to understand the dynamics of the commodity/cycle. Unfortunately, there is no set way. Lot of it is experience over the years.

So would you sell something like heg now?
Another way I look at these is sell these at 5-7 times peak earnings. If HEG peak earning is going to be 300, then it can be a sell between 1500 to 2100 based on this (this is just for illustration, I am not saying HEG will have peak earnings of 300).

very good observation sir. however how to determine peak earning potential of commodity company? can you please elaborate with example. my calculation for MOIL is as under:
say MOIL achieved peak operating profit of 902.20 crore in year 2009. without taking into account if expansion in mining capacity if we assume that same operating profit will be achieved, as the depreciation and TAX is taken care by other income, applying PE of 7 give market cap of 6300 cr. if we add surplus cash in company the market cap becomes 8500. so upside of 20% left in MOIL.
