No this stock isn't going anywhere for at least 1 yr.  If you are looking long term it might be good, but there are way better bull markets out there for that kind of risk potential.  Check out SMSI and KAL for a couple of small companies with great potential.

Magnum is a little bit risky with the contrarian style. I might lean towards Reliance, or HDFC out of the ones that you have named. Best in general is hard to define. The best fund for you will be the one that best matches your risk tolerance and your time frame for investing.\n\n\nHDFC:\nWITH absolute returns of around 90 per cent over the past year, the HDFC Prudence Fund remains the top choice among the balanced funds available to the investor. \n\nIts performance in 2003 reinforces the case for investing in a fund based on its track record across two or three market cycles. The NAV of the fund's Growth Plan has quadrupled since the end of 1998, and now stands at Rs 45.71 . \n\nSuitability: Investors with an appetite for risk, who are looking to build equity exposures now, should consider routing their exposures through the HDFC Prudence Fund. Given the sharp run-up in equity market levels, any investment made now in an equity-oriented fund, is likely to carry a big dose of downside risk. \n\nBut as a balanced fund with a near-40 per cent exposure to debt or debt equivalents, the HDFC Prudence Fund may provide better downside protection than a pure equity fund, while allowing you to participate in any further appreciation in equity values. \n\nPerformance: With a 90 per cent return over the past one year, the fund outperformed the Crisil Balanced Fund Index, its benchmark, by a wide margin. Though only 60-65 per cent of the fund's assets are invested in equities, the fund has managed to outpace a good number of pure equity funds, both over the past one year and over a five-year time-frame. \n\nHDFC Prudence Fund adopts a flexible asset allocation pattern; both its equity and debt exposures can swing between 40 and 60 per cent of its assets. But in practice, the fund has tended to stick with a particular asset allocation pattern for two to three years, based on its view of the equity and debt markets. \n\nFor the past couple of years, the fund has been allocating 60-65 per cent of its portfolio to equities and the rest to debt and money market instruments. In 2003, the fund appears to have periodically rebalanced its equity portfolio to keep equity in the 60-65 per cent range. \n\nBetween June and December 2003, despite the sharp appreciation in equity values and in the NAV, the equity exposure has actually fallen from 62.2 per cent to 60.6 per cent. \n\n\n\nReliance Vision:\nAn Indian fund, Reliance Vision, was the second best performing fund globally in the April-June quarter, according to Lipper Asia Ltd, which tracks approximately 80,000 funds worldwide. \n\nThe fund operated by Reliance Capital Asset Management Ltd gained 34.86 per cent last quarter, second only to Aberdeen Select Indonesian Equity Fund, managed by Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Ltd, which rose 34.95 per cent. \n\nMagnum Contra:\n\nA normal diversified equity fund is one that invests in the stocks of various companies in different sectors. Magnum Contra does the same thing.\n\nHowever, as the name suggests, it will follow a contrarian view to investing and takes contrarian bets on stocks. This means the fund manager will deliberately bypass the popular stocks that everyone else is chasing. Instead, s/he will pick stocks that have the potential to appreciate (rise in price over time) but are undervalued and out of favour with other investors.\n\nThe fund manager will focus on stocks that have strong fundamentals but are trading at a significant discount to their intrinsic value. In layman's terms, this refers to a stock whose share price is, say, Rs 15 right now but has the potential to be Rs 100 over a period of time. Yet, it does not feature in the 'favourite list' of other stock pickers. \n\nIn other words, the fund managers of such funds will invest in companies that are out of fashion, yet sound. These will be stocks that are strong on fundamentals, but whose value is not yet recognised by the market. To put it very simply, it is

No company except HLL stated by you is in top 10 market cap companies. Top 10 are\n1) ONGC   137037.6\n2) RIL         114999.3\n3)NTPC      82537.1\n4)TCS        80495.6\n5)Infy          74459.1\n6)Bharti      62354.6\n7)Wipro     59842.4\n8)ITC         55276.2\n9)HLL        45069.7\n10)ICICI Bank 44564.1\n\nabove figures are in crores\n\nHowever the market cap of companies increase and decrease on continuous basis which is related to their performance and stock markets. for eg. 3 months back NTPC had a market cap above ril but now it has gone below 1 lac crores. So there is always a change in their cap.

Besides the blue chip companies that are buy and hold candidates such as JNJ, MMM, MET, COP, HD, BAC.   I like especially the closed end funds that have good long term track records and invest in things that I am not as well able to invest in individually.  TDF is one.  It invests in Chinese companies.  IIF is another.  It invests in Indian companies.  Is there anyone who does not think that these two countries are going to grow at 2 to 3 times the rate of U S companies?
