Late last week we added OPG Power Ventures to the Investor Trader Radar with the view of dipping our toe in the under-supplied Indian power market. As it panned out we were pretty quick on the draw, picking up 1,598 shares at 66 pence a share for a total outlay of £1,054.68 after selling off our remaining Eros International holdings and a little Renesola last Thursday. We see a massive potential ...

Eros International wasn’t the only holding to get a trim following our decision to add OPG Power Ventures to the Investor Trader Radar. For those of you that have followed Investor Trader over the journey you’ll know that we often buy and sell a little Renesola on the dips and peaks. And although we believe Rensola’s current surge toward £2 still has a ways to travel, we sold 29...

After adding OPG Power Ventures to the Investor Trader Radar we decided it was time to raise a little capital to facilitate a purchase. We settled on liduidating the remaining tranche of our EROS International holdings for no better reason than we needed the dinero. We were averaged into Eros International (EROS.L) at 105 pence and sold out at 165 pence turning a £180 profit on the final 300 shar...

After keeping a sneaky eye on OPG Power Ventures for the past few months, I’ve decided to to take the plunge and add it to the Investor Trader Radar. OPG was set up in 2008 to develop, own and manage power generation facilities in India based on a prevailing and an expected electricity demand and supply imbalance in the country over the coming years.

Today we sold our holding of 100 shares of Lyxor ETF India (the fund that tracks the S&P CNX NIFTY Index – the nifty fifty – the leading index for large companies on the National Stock Exchange of India) for £5.88 a share for a total return £588. Our original purchase of 100 shares was made on the 17th June 2009 for £5.6999 a share for a total outlay of £569.99. Our return befo...

I’ve long been bullish on the Indian economy and have watched it’s emergence as a burgeoning economic power with genuine interest over the past decade. Now, it’s time to put my money where my mouth is and what better way, than with an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). Exchange Traded Funds are index-linked funds that are tradeable just like normal equities. Their aim, simple, to closel...

Last week we added Eros International – a producer and distributor of Bollywood films – to the Investor Trader radar. After a little homework we liked what we saw and came to the conclusion that a billion plus Indians can’t be wrong. So we ended taking the dip and buying a handful of Eros International (533 shares at £1.05 for an outlay of £559.65). ...

On a tip from a visitor (thanks Jon), we’ve taken a closer look at Eros International PLC – a market-leading Indian film producer and distributor that have been in the game since 1977. Without going into numbers, their 2008 annual report made very interesting reading and although things have changed since then, their business mix caters well for those tightening their purse strings ...
