Sun over Sri Lanka

The Sun will be moving directly over Sri Lanka from April 5 to 14, a Meteorology Department spokesman said. He said the Sun would be directly over the latitudes of Sri Lanka during this period, due to the apparent northward relative motion of the sun.

The spokesman said this is a usual biannual phenomenon. The nearest towns
of Sri Lanka over which the sun will be overhead today are Padawiya, Madhu, Nanaddan and Nochchikkulam about 12:11 noon.

Meanwhile, he requested the public to take adequate precautions to minimise damages caused by lightning activities popularly known as 'Bak Maha Akunu' experienced in April. "Showers or thundershowers will occur at several places over most provinces after 2pm. There is low possibility for thunderstorm to occur over the Eastern province and the Jaffna peninsula," the spokesman said. The closest towns the Sun will appear overhead at 12.11noon in the coming days are as follows:

April 12: Padawiya, Madhu, Nanaddan, Nochchikkulam
April 13: Uyilankulam, Vellankulam, Kulamurippu
April 14:Veeramalai, Mulliyan, Veddukaddu

I mentioned about HPWR in my post but deleted later because I am holding some qty.

I tried to buy LVEN but no one is selling below 40/-

HPWR and VPEL got best PER. , But VPEL and VLL are suffering from low book value problem..

Price to Book val wise, best are LVEN and HPFL.

Thank you Chinwi and Troy for the information.

LVEN was one of my top holdings along with CINS those days. I didn’t see analysts covering those stocks much those days. It is wise to keep some stocks for the long run if we want to get some benefit without applying cut losses strategy. In a portfolio, we should keep some steady stocks as well. I am also in the same boat. I was looking for some LVEN. I have kept some stocks under my radar. At the moment HPWR is strong.

Yes.. LVEN was giving nice return those days. Now they have converted it mainly to a hydropower holding and got some thermal power in Bangladesh.

Someone asked me why give negative responses to stocks some others talk while not giving my recommendations.

Normally I talk to share my thinking when I select and start collecting at good prices targeting over 40% within 2 years time.

I usually refrain if I have already collected a share in quantities. Evading - promotion . Natural appreciation of a share is expected by medium - long term investors.

At the moment I am watching HPWR (not buying in numbers because filled my 20% pf PF limit) LVEN and VONE.

LVEN should be in very strong position in future. No one is selling at low rates is the problem !. New plants are added to the system.

I didn’t see analysts covering those stocks much those days.

Instant noodles people do not even know about these shares. Most of the real investors who contributed to these forums have gone off the air.

* 20% PF limit - is a self imposed rule preventing a particular share exceeding 20% of the portfolio even it looks like a real gem.

This has given me big opportunity losses and also prevented devastating my portfolio in different times. Very rarely I breached this barrier. Eg. collecting and holding CFVF when interest rates were going down in big numbers.

----

For the below, I took last 9 months earning only. (MAR - DEC 2015)
To get a good idea about HP we have to see patterns covering many years.

Rain, Rain Come Again! Hpwr_c10

(sorry : decimal places not properly shown in Prices) . PER - 9 months

In both tables the lower is better.

Interestingly, we can see HPFL and VPEL share two extreme positions in two analysis. In future I think HPFL will come to a better position if we get better rainfall. As VPEL is already getting Lakshapana retention, the effect of more rainfall will be lesser than to HPFL.

If we consider both tables together, we can see HPWR and LVEN are the two shares placed at best positions .

PAP and VLL are at higher levels.

Note : These values may change with the future earnings.

Thank you for valuable ideas.

“Note : These values may change with the future earnings.”

This is one of the areas that I will pay attention more.

CFVF was another stock which I had in the past. It has become more than 20 bagger after 10 years. (Actually, it became a more than 45 bagger as well) Look like it is wise to keep at least some quantity for the long run if we can find out quality stocks having long term potential.

Quoted from the following link.

“Lightning is a major feature of the inter-monsoon season, the Meteorology Department’s Director (Forecasts), Sarath Premalal said.

Lightning killed one person and injured 12 others in Medirigirya, Polonnaruwa this week, Disaster Management Centre (DMC) Deputy Director Pradeep Kodipilli said. At least 14 people were injured by lightning in Yatiyanthota in Kegalle.Rainfall ranged from 100mm to more than 3000mm with the biggest falls in Ginigathhena (3,267mm), Watawala (3252mm) and Norton (3121mm), the Meteorology Department said.”

The hydropower reservoirs will very soon be full to capacity yet the power mafia may be active and in the coming months start purchasing power from private sources
