Buzzing Stock Aster Silicates

Aster Silicates recently came out with an IPO of about 50 lakh equity shares at a price of Rs.118 and got listed around 130.While the markets were rangebound, the stock went up 90% before closing at 205.

The stock witnessed 241 bulk deals on NSE, with the total volume exceeding 9.6 crore shares on both the BSE and NSE exchanges.The volumes were 20 times more than its issue size and the total delivered quantity was at 41.3 lakh shares. Today the stock was locked at upper circuit for most of the day at Rs.246, which came off later in the day.

So what's the buzz?
Aster is engaged in the business of manufacturing of sodium silicate, primarily used by the FMCG, tyre and pesticides industry. The financial performance is not much encouraging, as the company's FY10 EPS was Rs. 5 and the book value is Rs. 23.

The PE multiple at current market price works out to 50 times, which is definitely high, as such chemical companies trade about PE of not more than 5. This is yet another case of operator driven mid-cap rush.There have been many such stocks like Resurgere Mines,GSS America, Selmcl, Ackruti city, Thinksoft driven up by such operators, which are now substantially below the price traded during the listing period.

Sure it can run some more, but this is not the cup of tea for everyone. Buyer Beware !

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat. Any team's performance is directly proportionate to the relationship between its members and their combined efforts. What is the definition of teamwork? Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
