I have noticed that last few weeks this forum is flooded by so many posts on LGL & SIRA.
Some people highly recommended both companies shares due to their future investments.
But all i want to say that please study how all these new projects links to the companies you think it should fits in.
Do you really think all new Sierra projects come under Sierra Cable?
Do you really think all Mr Wegpitiya's projects come under LGL?

The simple answer is NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

1st of all please open your eyes.

SIRA
SIERRA Holding is the parent company of Sierra Cables (SIRA) & Sierra constructions. If you buy SIRA shares simply because you think that SIERRA holdings gonna invest money on new projects ( New contract, Hotels etc) then I dont think its a wise move. Sierra Cables is just one company of Sierra Holdings.
LOLC:BRWN collaboration recently acquired 20% Sierra holdings & this holding company is NOT LISTED yet.

LGL.
LAUGFS Holdings is the parent company of LAUGFS Gas ltd. So If Laughfs holdings invest money on new projects doesnt say that LGL will get the benefits. Laugfs holding is NOT a listed company.

Ex:
Recently RHL acquired Shaw Wallace marketing division. This is NOT a listed company. Some people think RHL bought Shaw Wallace & hedges ( SHAW) which is a listed company. This is an incorrect information. Last few days I can see above average daily SHAW transactions. If someone bought SHAW just because of RHL purchase then all I can think is these people were mislead.

P.S
SIRA may release Q3 (impressive) results soon. I wouldnt mind if this sudden demand JUST because of that.

LAUGFS BHARAT METAL CUTTING GAS is own by LGL

http://www.laugfs.lk/LBMCG/index.html

Also, When the Holding company gets strong, the subsidiaries also become strong.
And, when the holding company makes new ventures, the subsidiaries will be the ones to get benefit first.
Ex, people who goes to for Sunup may buy Laugfs gas from them, because its convenient one stop shop.
We can expect new Laugfs restaurant use Laugfs Gas.

Also,when holding company loose, it will effect subsidiaries.
And same goes in the other direction, when subsidiaries do well/poor holding company will get that effect.

So we just cant isolate the subsidiaries form their holding companies ventures.

Thanks UKBoy, you are trying to enlighten the different between the holding company and it's listed companies. I can remember when Janashkthi Limited disposed the BFL shares, our poor investors chased JINS expecting a capital gain in JINS. Unfortunately they didn't know Janasakthi Limited is holding company of JANASHAKTHI INSURANCE PLC.

But the sad thing is most of them disagree with you. I don't understand how the share holders going to benefit when the parent company benefited.

UKboy I think you are trying to open a can of worms.
As investors at CSE we do not need to dig that deep to find out where we need to invest.
This is Sri Lanka not UK Rolling Eyes
