Companies spend crores in establishing their brand name, creating an equity which is probably its biggest intangible

about 13 years ago

The incessant run up of the market, celebration of the BSE crossing 21,000 and hitting a new high at 21,293; the postponement of QE tapering, the euphoria of the FIIs - all these factors are directly opposite of what the economy is going through.

PARTY AS PARENTAL CONTROL GOES UP!

about 13 years ago

Suddenly now from a theme of delisting, marketmen are scouting around for stocks where now parents could announce a stake hike and like GSK, come up with a premium open offer price.

Naturally when the floor price is based on reverse

about 12 years ago

The El Nino monster is back, raising its ugly head, gnarling and snarling its teeth, threatening the very existence of farmers and their livelihood. With some 60% of the population depending directly or indirectly on agriculture, any forecast of poor monsoon spells doom.

Anything which falls in the range of 90-96% is considered

WISH YOU WERE LISTED......

It is human nature - to always aspire for things which are not there, not available. The lure is primarily because it is unavailable. And that is why, despite over 5000 stocks being listed on the BSE, there is always the lure for those stocks, true blue blooded stocks which are unlisted. Maybe on the bourses, amongst listed stocks, we have reached a point where valuations are stretched over the select few stocks and the rest are not

MAKING "SWACHCH BHARAT" MANDATORY FOR INDIAN INC - NOT DONE!

about 11 years ago

The first thing that strikes any foreigner, when he/she lands in India, apart from the ocean of people and cacophony of noises is the filth. India is a dirty country. We have accepted this truth but somehow, it is simply not a part of our behavior to not litter or spit in the public. Defecating in the open is the consequence of unplanned urbanization, lack of sanitation and no water in most places.

NOT ABLE TO LET GO – INJURIOUS TO ITC’s PROFESSIONAL LIFE!

Yogi Deveshwar and ITC seem to be synonyms for each other – who derives meaning to their name more – Deveshwar from ITC or ITC from Deveshwar; that’s an over two decade old question. It seemed there could be no life for each other without each other! Looks like the same story continues even today though a new CEO was appointed and Deveshwar is the non-executive chairman.
