Today's Call:
#Buy Jai Corp Ltd at around Rs.211, T: Rs.292--340, SL: Rs.202. It is a completely debt free company belonging to Anil Ambani's half brother Anand Jain. It is into SEZ and Port Developments. It VC funds in the real estate sector and is into making PP/PE woven products (Jumbo bags) and so on....
There were recent media reports that Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani, through his personal investment firms, is in talks to buy out BSE-listed Jai Corp’s 24% stake in Navi Mumbai Special Economic Zone (NMSEZ). If the deal goes through, Ambani will be the largest shareholder of the NMSEZ with a 48.1 per cent stake.
Last week, the NMSEZ project received the go-ahead from the Maharashtra government-owned City and Industrial Development Corporation (Cidco) for its conversion into an industrial city. When a stock  gives multi-year high, it generally gives huge returns. I have a target of Rs.900-1100, in the next 3-4 years. Last time when the stock rose from Rs.50, many I am told became millionaires, within 2-3 years. If the scrip of GVK Power and Infrastructure Ltd (Rs.25.60) has been rising due to the announcement of Navi Mumbai Airport and Tans-harbour link between Navi Mumbai and Sewri in Mumbai, the stock of Jai Corp Ltd should also  rise, anchoring on the same logic.  I have been recommending the stock of Jai Corp Ltd since 2013, from Rs.67-68 levels.

#The stock of TV Vision Ltd has been hitting the upper circuits since it was being recommended around Rs.21. Those who are holding can continue to the same. 

#Those who are holding the shares of Videocon Industries Ltd (Rs.24.70) from around Rs.12.50-13, should continue to hold for a target above Rs.100. The company has huge OIL ASSETS whose valuations are rising along with a spike in the crude oil  prices. You should therefore accumulate in every intraday dips, as mentioned earlier.

#Those who are holding the shares of Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Network Ltd (Rs.34.25), can continue to hold, as the scrip was able to cross the resistance zone of Rs.31-32, with ease. The stock has hit the upper circuits even today -- like TV Vision Ltd, it is hitting the upper circuits since it was recommended some days back.

#Those who are holding the shares of Pincon Spirit Ltd (Rs.44.50) from around Rs.38-39, should book complete  profits and wait for the price to stabilize before fresh entry. For the time being, this call is closed. 

#Buy the shares of 3i Infotech Ltd at around Rs.9-9.10 for a short term target of Rs.13. The company's consolidated net profit rose 40.55% to Rs.22.77 crore on 3.22% rise in total income to Rs.243.75 crore in Q3 December 2017 over Q2 September 2017.
The stock had outperformed the market over the past one month till 11 January 2018, jumping 125.26% compared with the Sensex's 3.13% rise. The stock had also outperformed the market over the past one quarter, surging 118.5% as against the Sensex's 8.39% rise.
