value investors work to control their own investment behavior.

For this Diwali my value pick is HB Portfolio Ltd. I am putting case how much cheap HB Portfollio is available at current price .
At current price of around Rs. 42 market cap of this company is around 50 crores. As per annual report 2010 company has Cash & Bank Balances more that 14 crores(Precisely Rs 140643338) on consolidated balance sheet . You can access annual report from company's website ( http://www.hbportfolio.com/Investor%20Information/Annual%20Reports/Report%20PDF/ar032010.pdf ) So effective market cap after reducing cash is 36 cr. Company does not have any debt .Can you imaging how much stocks and mutual fund unit this company hold ? As on 31st march 2010 value of stock portfolio is 185 cr (Rs 185,13,13,967) and mutual fund units of 10 crores (Rs 9,98,89,044) . Company is also having unquoted investment worth 39.29 crores (Rs 392897303) in associates companies at book value .
So company has total investment Stock(185) + MF(10 ) + Unquoted(39) = 234 crores. and company is also having Net Current Asset around 47 crores (including 14cr cash) on consolidated balance sheet . So on market cap of 50, we are getting company ,which has investment 234 + Net Current Asset 47 = 271 crores and fixed asset extra.
You can get complete list of stock,quantity and amount from annual report . I am providing just list of stocks.

I agree, generally holding companies trade on discount to their holding investment value. This range from 0 to 50% on market condition and nature of stock holdings . But HB Portfolio Ltd is not pure holding company , generally holding companies hold other companies of same group. So, if a group company's future is not bright, then also holding company has to hold that stock. As per my view this is one of reason why holding company trade on discount in the stock market. Other factor decides valuation is dividend yield. For movement of any stock it needs news flow ,but generally holding companies lack in this front. HB Portfolio Ltd can buy and sell any stock just like mutual fund. I believe it should not trade more than 30 % discount to investment value. Right now market cap is 50 - cash 14 = 36 cr and investment worth 234 corers. So effectively HB Portfolio Ltd is trading on steep discount of 85 % . and at current price dividend yield is around 4.8 and company has consistence dividend paying record as well. Doesn't it compelling value buy ? if you know any better bargain value buy then please let me know.

Comparison
Note :- following comprising is based on whatever data available with me. Please re-verify if you have annual reports of these companies.
1) Industrial & Prudential Investment Company Ltd :- I don't have exact data and annual report but as per whatever data I had it is trading on close to 50% discount . Company does not have any website. Dividend yield at current price is 0.9 % .
2) Stanrose Mafatlal Investment & Finance Ltd :- Market cap 43 cr , value of investment 74 cr . . Trading on discount of around 42 % . Dividend yield at current price is 4.5 % .
3) Aeonian Investments Company Ltd :- Market value of quoted investments is 81.5 cr + unquoted investment of 15.4 cr and no debt . So 97 cr is investment value and company's market cap is 93 cr . So company is trading close to investment value.Dividend yield at current price is 2.2 % .
In last few months stock analysts had given recommendation on stocks ,which were undervalued , after these recommendations those stock shoot up . e.g. Bengal & Assam Company Ltd, J.K. Agri Genetics Ltd, Sicagen India Ltd . I think, if any reputed analyst gives call on HB Portfolio Ltd on TV channels, then it will shoot up and will minimize discount to investment value . Right now this is unknown script that is the only reason it is so undervalued. If you already know these detail and still not invested then please let us know the reason .
At current price downside is limited and up side I can't predict . Tax free dividend yield of 4.8% is quite impressive and there is scope of increase in dividend , since dividend payout % of profit is just under 22% .
3) Aeonian Investments Company Ltd :- Market value of quoted investments is 81.5 cr + unquoted investment of 15.4 cr and no debt . So 97 cr is investment value and company's market cap is 93 cr . So company is trading close to investment value.Dividend yield at current price is 2.2 % .
