Thakral - Gem life deal finally coming?

I think the reason for the jump of Thakral over the last 2 days is due to this news

and the fact that Thakral acknowledge GEM life is indeed taking a step further to realizing this IPO. 


2 years ago, I blog about thakral, investing in it due to its 7.5% high yield and speculating that it might be taken private due to the big gap in Thakral capitalization and its Gem Life's stake value.

From the article above, GEM life IPO is valued at 2 billion, and hence Thakral stake should be worth around 600 mio, as a ball park figure.

After the big run up, Thakral capitalization is only 180 mio. Assume 50%  discount, there is still a big gap of 40%, AND YOU GET THE REST OF BUSINES FREE.


GEM life contribute only 50% of its profits.

Okies, now, finally, the sillly silly pathetic sillyinvestor, finally got a good real muti-bagger of almost 200%. No gimmacks of using lowest purchase price over average price, or paring down stake early.
