By Ruma Dubey about 2 hours ago

So why is it that retail shareholders do not have much say or no say at the AGMs? It is usually a docile, boring, chai-samosa kind of event, with some shareholders waxing eloquent about the management while some asking the standard questions on dividend and bonus shares.

By Ruma Dubey about 1 day ago

So if Dewan Housing and IL&FS were responsible for precipitating a sense of panic in the NBFC and housing finance company (HFC) counters, how come despite these two gaining, the NBFCs and HFCs remain in the deep red?

The Kapur family will surely be feeling vindicated. The RBI finally did what they might have wished for umpteen number of times. That’s the only thought which came to mind when the news came in. The face of Yes Bank, Rana Kapoor will get no three year term extension as CEO; RBI has directed that he will have to quit by 31st Jan, 2019.

ITS BULL? ITS A BEAR? WHAT'S IT????

In the market, we use the term “bear” and “bull” very loosely but do we really know in that sense, what these two terms actually mean? Apart from knowing the basic – falling market is bear, rising one is bull, do we know any other characteristics?

Merger of Vijaya Bank, Dena Bank and Bank of Baroda (BoB) would probably have been the most shared news on Whatsapp yesterday evening and why not, it is big news indeed!

The tumbling down of someone as big as the IL&FS group has rattled many. The group was well known in the corporate circles for being rock solid and somehow the group, in many ways, represented some largest infrastructure development in the country. But what do we infer now?

We always say, “look at the bigger picture”. But it is only when we look from far, keeping a distance from the big picture that we come to realize that it is the details which go on to create the big picture. The trick is to not lose ourselves, neither in the details nor in the big picture

MARKETS LOOKING MUCH BEYOND IIP AND CPI

By Ruma Dubey about 13 days ago

July IIP came in at 6.6% v/s 6.9% (MoM) and the retail inflation or CPI for August was at 3.69% v/s 4.17% (MoM) – this is a 10-month low. So inflation cools down and growth was steady.. that in short is the story of today.

The market today sank over 500 points, with all sectors streaked red. The rupee also slumped to a new low at Rs.72.72. Petrol price in Mumbai is now dangerously close to Rs.90…maybe we will see that reality tomorrow?

Can you imagine Ratan Tata talking off the cuff, smoking on TV? Or can you wrap your mind over a scene where we see Godrej talking weird and then backtracking? And any kind of weird behavior from Ambani, be it Anil or Mukesh? Simply not possible.

Rs.70 THE NEW NORM FOR INDIAN RUPEE?

By Ruma Dubey about 18 days ago
No Image
There is a sense of unease on Dalal Street. And also on Mint Street. Stocks as well the rupee are down in the red and the mood is that of great uncertainty. The rupee crossed the Rs.72-mark yesterday and the plunge was arrested only on account of RBI intervention. Though Finance Minister Arun Jaitley

THE POLITICS OF RISING PRICE OF PETROL

By Ruma Dubey about 20 days ago

Firstly, even when crude oil price hit $107/barrel in 2013-14, petrol price in Mumbai did not scale such heights. And today, when crude is at $70/barrel, the price is at Rs.87. Even after accounting for rupee fall, are we missing something here? This math seems completely skewed.

By Ruma Dubey about 21 days ago

Thanks to Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi, there is complete disenchantment for jewellery stocks. They have become almost like a taboo and no one in their right minds are also recommending them. And in this air of disdain and doubt for the sector and its promoters that Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri (TBZ) passed a resolution at its AGM that it will hike pay for its promoters.

Q1FY19 GDP – MANUFACTURING PACKS A PUNCH!

By Ruma Dubey about 25 days ago

Above 7% was a given and most of the analysts had pegged it at 7.1% to 7.7%. And it did not disappoint; it in fact shocked us all – it came in at a jaw dropping 8.2%! This was against 5.7% (YoY) and 7.7% (QoQ). So it is more than just a base effect. We can say that recovery is surely on its way but mainly on the domestic front

WHAT DID DEMONETIZATION ACHIEVE?

By Ruma Dubey about 26 days ago
No Image
Based on RBI’s report of yesterday and SBI’s study, can we conclude that demon was a failure? If the objective of the exercise was to put an end to business of counterfeit notes and curb terrorism, especially in the Valley, can we say that it has failed miserably in its objective.

Holding Whatsapp responsible for the lynching mobs is pushing it too far. How can it be responsible for what a user does; a user on whom they have no control? We cannot advocate censorship in communications. Yes, we are fair in asking Whatsapp to follow the rules when it has changed.
