Sep 19, 2012 • Eros, the Greek God of Love, son of Aphrodite, cousin of Cupid. The mere uttering of the word is enough to raise the mercury a mill or two in some. In AIM investment circles, the name Eros has been known to arouse a little interest too. It belongs to a compelling small cap company based...

Mar 14, 2012 • So we’ve top-sliced our PV Crystalox Solar holding (pocketing a handy 15% in five weeks into the bargain) and taken up a little OPG Power Ventures with the proceeds. After buying in to PV Crystalox Solar at 4.40, then again at 5.15 and yet again at 5.40 pence, even the optimist in me was saying,...

Dec 27, 2011 • Following a financial clemin of a year like 2011, it’s good to take a little time out to define at least one non-negotiable. A given. Something you can hang your hat on moving forward. Here’s a starter for ten. India will consume all of the energy it produces in 2012. India’s energy gap is not...

Nov 12, 2010 • It’s been a busy fortnight and it ain’t over yet. On Tuesday we sold off our entire holding of OPG Power Ventures for 68 pence a share after buying in at 66 pence a share in April. With the meagre profit, we covered our dealing costs. Mid to long term I have no doubt that...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...

Jun 17, 2009 • 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...
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...
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...
