Better than a 50 year old marrying (or should we use another word) a 9 year old child.

Don't make fun of other cults TAH, because your cult is the funniest of all.

I am 100% sure we'll see the opposite news in the same paper in next JAN 2014 .......................... once the so called market players collected the most of the float of chicken shares for the least value they can.

Then you will see a lot of newspaper articles on increased chicken consumption, increased per capita income , high living conditions and unexpected demand in the market.

Beware its .....

"CHICKEN RUN - 2014"

(probably we might get it in 3D.)

Food price data released by the Department of Census and Statistics (DCS) for the first two weeks of October showed mixed movements, with upticks seen in most categories of vegetables, while categories of fruits and fresh fish saw declines. During September, food prices dipped 0.4% MOM.

Prices of most varieties of vegetables showed increases during October owing to rainy conditions curbing supply. Another factor for the reduced output is due to the end of the Yala harvesting. However, rice prices saw declines towards the latter half of the month as increased imports of rice in September had improved supply . Despite a fall in prices of fresh fish during the first half of October, rainy conditions across the country during the remainder of the month could see more upward pressure on these prices. Overall, we feel that F&B inflation could see a slight uptick from previous months of declines.

With the full implementation of the reduction in electricity tariffs by 25% by the GOSL, we expect to see a significant fall in inflation in the Utilities sub-category in October. Adding to this, the Transport category could also see some pass-through effects of the reduction in fuel prices implemented in the second half of last month.

Based on the above factors, we expect overall headline inflation to decline for a third consecutive month on a MOM basis, falling by 0.90% in October. On a YOY basis, it is expected to fall to 2.4% from 3.5% growth in the previous month.

SFIN - On the fundamental view point

1st QTR EPS Rs.0.45/share

So by annualising it by multiplying by 4 will not give a big boost for the price appreciation. As per now 21/- will be the maximum expectation.

Headline inflation fell to its lowest level on a YOY basis since October 2009, growing by 1.6% in October 2014. On a MOM basis it recorded a decline of 1.6%, the largest drop seen since the beginning of the 2006 base. This was below our forecast of 2.4% YOY inflation, which expected a more modest decline of 0.9% on a MOM basis.

F&B inflation saw a slight uptick of 0.1% MOM due to rainy conditions prevailing across the country. Inflation in this category, however, was contained due to improved supply of rice during the month from increased imports entering the market.

Effects of the 25% reduction in electricity tariffs during the prior month was evident in October as the Energy category recorded a 7.8% decline over the month. This resulted in the largest ever YOY decline of 7.9% seen in this category. The Transport category also saw a further fall from fuel price reductions, effective last month, contracting by 0.8% over the month. Thus, Non-Food inflation declined by 3.1% and 0.9% on a MOM and YOY basis respectively.

Core inflation remained muted during the month, recording flat growth on a MOM basis from negative growth of 0.2% recorded last month. On a YOY basis it moderated to 3.6% in October.

Sri Lanka can cut rates once inflation expectations stable-c.bank chief
Tue Jan 27, 2015 4:59am EST

COLOMBO, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka can reduce its policy interest rates below their current record low levels once inflationary expectations subside and become stable, new Central Bank Governor Arjuna Mahendran said on Tuesday.

"Inflation expectations are still embedded in people's minds," Mahendran told Reuters in an interview after the central bank announced its January policy decision. "We have to keep rates stable for a while until those inflationary expectations come down to a stable level and then we can cut interest rates further."

The central bank left policy rates steady on Tuesday for a 12th straight month, as expected. Speaking after his first monetary policy meeting, Mahendran said inflation was expected to ease further with the economy expected "to record a robust performance", predicting growth of 7.5 percent this year.

Both Demand pull inflation and cost push inflation can be witnessed in coming months. Hope that the the new CB Governor can recompose the product basket of the CPI to more realistic one within 100 days in order ascertain the real purchasing power of a Sri Lanka.

·Take advantage of falling grain, copper, oil, rubber and other raw material prices through listed companies in the CSE.

·Take advantage of lower interest rate through listed companies in the CSE

It is very simple to analyse.

Lower oil prices will send down energy prices of all types of manufacturing companies including plantation companies
Lower grain prices, lower oil prices and lower electricity bill will send down cost of production of grain elevators and other poultry companies
Lower rubber prices will benefit rubber manufacturing companies
Lower copper prices will benefit some production companies
Companies can expand their businesses thanks to lower interest rates and borrowing cost will come down
Lower inflation will increase consumer purchasing power. They will create more demand for products and services.

On top of that, there is good demand for some product and services. Some companies will make strong earnings in the coming quarters due to demand factor and cost factor. In addition keep an eye on some out of favour industries and companies. They will comeback strongly.

It is time to identify top winners in the market before they become more expensive in the remaining stages of current bull market. Frontier markets are more attractive than other markets now.

Lot of stocks will go up in the coming stages of current bull market. It is not necessary to do panic buying and panic selling. I buy simple business I can understand now. Then we can minimize losses. Otherwise we can lose million in stock markets. Stock market is the place where we make both profits and losses. It is normal.

There are two types of stocks in my basket

Strong stocks
Out of favour stocks

and continuously searching for new ones (two out of favour companies under my radar are: UDPL and ELPL)

In addition, I am thinking why cannot change personality of VONE and SPEN?

Other option is pick better stock that we think in each group as follows.

Banking and Finance
Diversify
Poultry
Production
Plantation

Then later stage of current bull market it is wise to allocate more funds to some defensive sectors such as Food and beverages including hot beverages (tea) and health care etc.
