how many shares you have?...

Around January 09, I too received a similar offer to buy Jaiprakash Enterprises (Rs. 10 share) at Rs. 20. I did some research on the net and Nseindia and found that each share of JPEnterprises will get me 3 shares of Jaiprakash Associates. I ended up with a 3.5 lakh kitty instead of just 30,000 bucks. Similarly, Novartis was also offered around Rs. 450 whereas the price now is around 500+ levels. So, whenever you receive such offers, please do total research and save yourself by losing opportunities of making money by going with such offers. Risks and rewards are both yours....

The No 1 media company of India - Bennett Coleman. No surprise then that the turnover and profit figures we are talking about are mind boggling, especially for an unlisted company.Bennett Coleman closed FY07 with sales of over Rs 3,300 crore, net profit of almost Rs 600 crore and EPS of Rs 178 - making it the largest media house in the country by a mile.

It`s not just Bennett Coleman`s P&L that is huge. The company`s balance sheet, with general reserves of almost Rs 3,400 crore, is well equipped to meet any financial contingencies.

Its investments, apart from being significantly large, are also quite eye-catching. Bennett Coleman has investments worth around Rs 3,000 crore in over 100 companies - 60 of which are listed. The prominent ones being the purchase of roughly 800,000 shares in ICICI Bank last year, and roughly 8 million shares of HDFC Bank at just Rs 81. This is the result of the merger of Times Bank with HDFC Bank in 2000. It`s investment in Kishore Biyani s Pantaloon Retail has already doubled at the current market price.

The investments are private treaties or agreements with these companies, which are believed to have sold stake to Bennett Coleman in lieu of advertising space in The Times of India and The Economic Times. As per internal documents of the company, these stakes have a lock-in period.

They include Zoom television channel and website Magicbricks,redio mirchi and timesjobs.

There has been quite a buzz recently of Bennett Coleman finally going in for a public listing. If that were to happen, the company will surely get a fancy valuation to the tune of many billion dollars. That would be a dramatic change in thinking for a company that has resisted the stock market temptation for over 95 years.
