Think twice before posting: Make sure you are adding Value (26-08-2015)
There are few ways through which we can moderate the forum or make VP a better place.
- Like www.stackexchange.com or www.stackoverflow.com: These both websites are place to post your queries from engineering field and can get answers from fellow engineers. Now when you are new to the field (such as new investor or new to VP or just a toddler in investing) all you can post new queries (in case of VP new stock opportunities, portfolio etc) and can earn points on the relevance of question (no negative points here) and read the other topics but you cannot rate any answers or post right now. You can also write answers to queries but here it will have both positive and negative points depending upon the contribution made by your answer. These will be done by general public of forum who have little experience in the forum (off course we cannot judge the experience they have in real world), measured by threshold points they have in their account.
In this way:
a. The risk of loosing reputation points will discourage the member to submit inappropriate comments, stocks etc
b.The accumulation of points will serve as an appreciation from fellow investors and as a representative of their progress as an investor.
- Like www.Teambhp.com: This is again a public forum just like us but made for & by automobile enthusiasts. The way this works is that to became a member you need to fill up a questionnaire. These questionnaire is nothing sort of technical about automobile but solely talk about you and purpose to join the group and how will you contribute the forum. The answers are checked by the moderators and is granted membership based on the replies to this answer. If moderator feel unsatisfied with the answers they will mark it and will ask you to elaborate it or rephrase it.
Now let say you are denied membership from the forum, still you can read all the topics.
Also in teambhp has a rule about the comments or the post which is submitted into a forum like It cannot be one liner etc. (sorry don't have complete list right now)
In this way
a. Moderators can control the quality of members of the forum. This control will decrease the possibility of unhealthy comments and self promoting guys. (I assure you filling that questionnaire is quite a pain in itself, but rewards are worth)

Manoj,
For me long term bets have to have a fair amount of predictability and that is what I find lacking in business of Omkar. From whatever I have read about the company I find that it is just a commodity business having a good time. I wouldnt compare it with the likes of great pharma companies like ajanta, torrent, alembic, shilpa or other businesses I own like the HFCs.
I am not too impressed by the oft used word PATENT which is bandied about by Indian firms. The kind of patents Omkar boasts about are in effect just process patents and nothing much to brag about. If patents dont convert into higher sales and profits for the company it is no use.
The good thing I find about Omkar is decent management, and benefits of expansion which could keep the growth going for a couple of years or more.
Key monitorables include debt situation and working capital management.

Indian Oil Corporation shares gain on MoU worth Rs 275 cr with NOC (26-08-2015)
Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) shares gained over 1 per cent in the early trade on Wednesday after the oil marketing company on Tuesday (post market hours) informed stock exchanges that it has signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Nepal Oil Corp (NOC) to lay a Rs 275-crore oil pipeline from Raxaul in Bihar to Amlekhgunj in Nepal.
At 9.50 am, IOC was trading 1.19 per cent higher at Rs 399.45. It opened at Rs 394 and had touched a high and low of Rs 400.85 and 387.35, in trade so far.
In a BSE filing, the company said, “The estimated cost of this project is Rs 275 crore and the completion period is 30 months after receipt of statutory clearances. This pipeline will ensure long term supply of petroleum products to Nepal from IOC as well as stability of supplies from India to Nepal, which will benefit both the countries.”
For the quarter ended June 2015, IOC reported net profit of Rs 6435.70 crore, up 155 per cent, against Rs 2522.94 crore in the corresponding quarter a year ago.
The promoters holding in the company stood at 68.57 per cent while institutions and non-institutions held 7.17 per cent and 24.26 per cent, respectively.
The scrip closed 0.22 per cent lower at Rs 393.20.
