Introduction
The BSE Sensex has seen its fair share of ups and downs in 2016, and is just about
2.5% higher than its level at the start of the year. And based on the valuations the
broader markets are trading at, it wont be a bad idea to park some money in stocks
for the long term.
In fact, how about giving your investments that extra edge by taking an exposure in
Microcaps.
For it is doing precisely this that can mean the difference between good returns and
great returns for your stock investments!
To give you a head start, weve created this special report just for our subscribers.
This report is aimed at those subscribers who joined us recently on our long term
wealth building journey through Microcap Millionaires.
We hope the new members have had a chance to go through the Microcap Millionaires
guide which gives a detailed step-by-step explanation of how to go about investing
under this service.
In case you havent had a chance to do the same yet, you can do so by clicking here.
The service rests on three simple principles as espoused by the father of value
investing, Benjamin Graham himself.
The investor should have a definite selling policy for all his common

stock investments, corresponding to his buying techniques and lastly,
As can be seen, the MCM report will include stock recommendations and it will also
give the subscribers suggestions on how best to use the flexibility of increasing or
reducing exposure to equities based on the overall market conditions. Please note
that based on the current valuation levels of the overall market, a strong case can be
made for money to be distributed equally between stocks and bonds in the ratio of
50:50.
In other words, if a subscriber is starting out now and wants to set aside money for
Microcap Millionaires, he should ideally distribute equally between stocks and bonds.
The next question that is likely to come up is what are the stocks that can be bought
and how many of them? We think this is where the report will be extremely useful.
In this report, we have put together a one-page synopsis of the top stocks that we
think every new subscriber should make a part of the equity portion of the Microcap
Millionaires group of stocks.
Therefore, if you are starting out, theres no better stocks to start your wealth building
journey through Microcap Millionaires than the ones we are covering in this report.
Do note that as per the rules, when the exposure to stocks and bonds is roughly in
the same proportion, the total number of stocks in the Microcap Millionaires group
of stocks should be no more than 14-15. Consequently, the new subscribers will
still be few stocks short. As a result, our recommendation would be to keep the
remainder of the money in fixed deposits and the same can be moved into stocks as
we recommend more companies over the coming months.
Introduction | 4
Also, do note that in order to keep the group of stocks adequately diversified; limit
your exposure to any one stock to not more than 3%-4% of the total exposure to
Microcap Millionaires. In other words, if a subscriber is starting with a corpus of Rs
100 (including both fixed deposits and stocks), investment in any one stocks should
not be more than Rs 3-4 per share. This allocation will of course vary from person
to person. For something that works best for you, we recommend you talk to your
investment advisor.
We think this is enough background for a subscriber to be able to begin his Microcap
Millionaires journey. Therefore, do go through the synopsis of all the stocks that weve
put together below and get off to a great start.

Graphite India Ltd (GIL) is the largest Indian producer of graphite electrodes by total
capacity. Its manufacturing capacity of 98,000 tons per annum is spread over four
plants at Durgapur (54,000 MT post expansion), Bangalore (13,000 MT), Nashik (13,000
MT) and Nurnberg in Germany (18,000 MT). GIL accounts for roughly 10% of capacity
among leading global electrode manufacturers. (Excluding Chinese producers). The
company has over 40 years of technical expertise in the industry.
Electrodes are critical to the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steel making process, with no
substitutes available. Share of EAFs route in global steel production is ~26%. EAF route
is preferable over traditional blast furnace method due to relatively lower production
costs & capex requirements, operational flexibility and it generates less carbon
emissions. Similarly, this industry has significant entry barriers due to technology
intensive nature of operations. GIL has a diversified client base and includes major
steel companies such as Essar Steel, Steel Authority of India, Tata Steel, Nucor Group,
Saudi Iron & Steel, and United Steel.
The company recorded a subdued performance during the year FY16. Revenue
from operations decreased by 9% YoY and profits growth came in flat. The decline
in revenue was primarily driven by lower sales price realization while maintaining
the volume, due to excess capacity and fierce competition. The global demand for
graphite electrodes has remained subdued owing to limited incremental demand for
steel. Furthermore, falling iron ore prices have made the Electric Arc Furnace route
less economical as compared to the Blast Furnace route in the recent past. Reduction
in input costs has compensated to some extent the fall in electrode prices. However,
the reduction was not sufficient to compensate for the falling price of finished goods
which resulted in stagnant margins. The companys Graphite and Carbon Segment
Graphite India | 18
continues to be the main source of revenue and profit, accounting for about 91% of
the total revenue.
One must note that though the graphite electrode industry is not sensitive to steel
prices, it is impacted by the volume of steel production through the EAF method.
Looking beyond the current slowdown, GIL is well positioned to benefit from the
growing demand for graphite electrodes over long term. In addition, the capital
structure of GIL remains robust and provides financial flexibility for future.

Conclusion
We hope youve had a good look at all the stocks.
