Vakrangee
I am not sure whats the deal in Vakrangee software.
Figure this. The company's market capitalization is @ Rs.50 odd crores. Almost nil debt. And the company has declared an operating profit of about 100 odd crores last year. Whats more the company has an operating income of more than 50 crores in the six months ending Sep.30 2008. They also hold an investment worth Rs. 50 odd crores.
I understand there is no such thing as a risk-less investment but the odds of losing any in shares like Vakranjee should be way below any other investments that i can think of.

Finolex cables
Finolex cables.
The current market price per share is Rs.25 and the current market capitalization is Rs.390 crores. A month before, it was trading at about 19 Rs. per share. The deal is, about 316 crores of that capitalization is covered by Finolex's investment value in the balance sheet. So essentially, we get the entire business for about Rs. 290 crores (which is the debt obligation).
When a business generates positive cash flows and earns an operating profit of about 100 odd crores a year, i would not be too worried about a Rs.290 crore debt.
Finolex's return on Net Operating Assets ( Net Profit divided by Fixed + Net current Assets) is about 20%.
Just to add more, Finolex's book value stands at 41 Rs per share.
To me this is a neat value story. The entire market wants to run hoping they get the next multi-baggers and in the process they ignore the certain 50 percentagers.
