about 15 years ago

The question vexing many is - Why is the market celebrating a regular rejig operation at L&T? Well, this is not a routine rejig. This is restructuring at the top management level. Mr.Naik has always been the face of L&T and it is probably plastered in our minds that he is the CMD. For that to now be split into

THE ELECTION PROCESS OF USA

about 10 years ago

This is a historic time as far as 'world events' are concerned. One of the largest economies of the world, USA is electing is new leader. And today we live in a flat world, where every global occurrence makes a difference in our economic equations.

WHAT ARE THE "FII STOCKS?"

about 10 years ago

It is always very fascinating to know where exactly or what which are the stocks in which the Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) are investing. No doubt, FIIs are the game changers and what they do matters to most on Dalal Street as the belief is that stocks which they buy will soar. We perceive FIIs to be something akin to a cushion - they give comfort and protect from the bumps. Before we question whether it is right to have so much faith in FIIs,

SHOULD YOU HOLD 'HOLDING' COMPANIES?

about 10 years ago

Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation recently hit a new 52-week high at Rs.636. The stock price defies all logic when one looks at the financials - for Q1FY17, its net sales dropped 3% (YoY) at Rs.63 crore and the company ultimately ended Q1 with a net loss of Rs.4 crore.

IT SECTOR - NEEDS TO REMAIN 'TRADE UNION FREE'

about 12 years ago

TCS has probably opened a can of worms, nay, a nest of snakes. The venom is so potent; it could maim the Indian IT industry. This might seem like sensationalism news, like what we "one billion people of India" are used to seeing on TV but this is a fact. The IT industry, which till date does not have trade unionism, is now under threat. The news which floated in few days ago, that TCS was sacking some 25,000 employees,

LIC - YOU TOO BRUTUS????

about 11 years ago

Just as we have this unshakeable staunch perception that anything to do with the Govt, any work that needs to be done, corruption is a part and parcel of the cost; or else your work will never get done. At the same time, even in this festering cesspool of rot and corruption, two public institutions stand tall, like two lotuses in a pond of muck - RBI and LIC. These two, somehow, maybe it's been through their work that they have managed to build a sense of trust and faith. LIC is a curious case as it is just like any other mammoth Govt organization

Just as we change our clothes, food and general lifestyle to suit the needs of summer, it is a good idea to even relook at some of the stocks.

For the first Budget ever by a full time woman Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman was pretty passionate with her speech.
