On the Ground in Asia's Once-in-a-Lifetime Market

Rahul specializes in smaller companies in India. These opportunities seem extraordinary. Many companies are ridiculously cheap, due to what he calls "a scarcity of information and capital." He says India has 6,000 companies trading on the stock market, but only the top 100 get any coverage by the relatively small broker community. So Rahul is like a mini-Buffett, able to pick and choose among the 5,900 that no one's watching.
 
I didn't expect to be so interested. The big companies still seem expensive. But Rahul has really found some exceptional opportunities – once-in-a-lifetime type opportunities – in the smaller stocks.
 
Look for more details tomorrow, from my colleague Tom Dyson. Today, we're flying to Bangalore, which is India's high-tech and outsourcing capital. Until then...
 
Good investing,
Steve

Its true that a very small percent of companies get traded heavily.
But it is difficult to get good statistics on Indian companies, for us to do the analysis.
Are these guys going to create some system to do that? If there is one already existing, can someone send me pointers?
