A good investment?

Does anyone think it would be a good idea to invest into Tata Motors? They just bought Jaguar and Land Rover from ford. Wither shares being only $15.63 a peice it sounds like a good idea.

Any input?

I did have a cursory look but it's not something I would touch. There are some analysts setting higher price targets however and it's trading in the lower range now. The company has had some success with other acquisitions in their steel area but is expecting to have to sell some holdings to finance the Jag deal.

The jury is still out on whether this recent acquisition will work or not. It will take a lot of work to turn around those losers.

Do your own homework well.

what is the time frame for the investment? Are you looking to add this to an IRA or hold it for 5+ years?

I would invest. Mark my word Indian companies like Tata are going to shock the you know what out of many with their performance. This is one of the bigger conglomerates in the world. Many doubt they will be successful with their recent acquisitions. I am quite sure they will do far better with the brands than Ford did.

Best Regards,

God damn indian car companies. Stay away from that peice. Just jump in and short ford or GM before earnings.

Off topic...does anyone have their eyes on anything? I haven't been trading that much these past few weeks because school has been kicking my ***...besides that nothing really looks good. I am sick and tired of shorting...

-Sean

EDIT: i didn't realize tata has been traded for nearly 5 years on the NYSE . Anyways, stay away from it for now. I can't even see their balance sheet...

Not sure about this one. Tata is a huge conglomerate. Not just an automotive corp, so any benefit from their acquisition of Jag and Land Rover may be a small and not necessarily a good one. With the economic and energy conditions as is, anything automotive where they do not have a good "green" establishment won't be productive anytime soon.

Oh. And remember, just because a stock looks cheap, being at $15, does not necessarily mean it IS cheap. If the company only makes 2 cents per share profit, then you just paid $750 for a dollar profit.

Not big into index funds...they typically just trade how the market trades, which right now isn't good (i am a short term). If you are looking long term this looks very nice though. Only reason it is being hurt is because the market as a whole is being hurt (along with every other freaking stock). This will look real nice in 5 years.

I agree. I've just bought some good size blocks of 4 different US ETF's. They're down as expected but my horizon is 30 years with small annual withdrawals beginning in 2012. Hopefully they will recover nicely by then.

What did you buy? Any financials? I personally want to pick up some, but im going to wait another quarter before i do they will go down more (i want a couple nice long terms).
