DEFICIT OF TRUST DESTROYS FARM LAW

about 5 years ago

The main bone of contention was that the farmers would be made into rookies in the hands of the corporates and they will lose whatever little they were getting in through the Minimum Selling Price (MSP).

KARVY BREAKS ALL TRUST ON BROKERS

about 7 years ago

Brokers are as such a shrinking clan. In the earlier days, brokers and sub-brokers ruled the roost- they became family friends like the ‘family doctor’ and ‘family priest.’ With corporatization, the clan of sub-brokers can now be only read about in books or heard from the elders. On the other hand, brokers had reinvented themselves and were slowly becoming

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

EVEN THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIIs LOBBY......

about 12 years ago

There is a very thin line between lobbying and bribing. The dictionary says that lobby is "seek to influence (a legislator) on an issue". It is also "a hall, foyer, or waiting room at or near the entrance to a building, such as a hotel or theater." On the other hand, a bribe is "Something, such as money or a favour, offered or given to a person in a position of trust to influence that person's views or conduct". In both the definitions,

NESTLE WILL NEED MORE THAN "DO MINUTE" TO RECOVER

about 12 years ago

The presence of lead beyond the prescribed limits was shocking to say the least. It was shocking because - we Indian trust MNCs. We think that it is a Nestle or a P&G, it has be the best quality. We do not even have an inkling of doubt. But at the same time, if this had happened at say, a Marico or Emami, we would have shrugged our shoulders and said nonchalantly, "desi company, what do you expect?" This unequivocal faith in MNCs is dented permanently. If it had been some other brand of food, we might not even have heard the sound of this breaking of faith but because it was Maggi, virtually a must-have-food in every household,

The market is usually accounted for being very sane and practical, with an ear to the ground. It is stated to be the barometer of the economy.

Its not about where he is investing or how much money he made; its about getting a perspective into his way of thinking and in our small way, try to build in some of the character that he has.

START STUDYING FOR “INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR” EXAMS!

about 7 years ago

We look upon this designation as a seat which is filled by respected people from the society, who lend some respectability to the company with their name. The independent director in turn holds this post, most of the times in various companies, mainly like a prestige card.

OUR VERY OWN 'GAME OF THRONES' BEGINS ON 11TH APRIL!!

about 8 years ago

These 2019 elections are very crucial, every general or Lok Sabha election is; but what makes this truly crucial is the juncture at which India is standing – so many old roads and new untrodden roads emerge from where we stand today. We are the cusp of complete change in a world which is also changing rapidly.

THE TRAGEDY OF HOME BUYERS

about 9 years ago

You have lived in a rented apartment for the better part of your life. Now you saved enough money and decide to put all the life savings in a new home – a permanent roof over your heads which you can call your own. You do your research and sanity check and finally decide to go with a big company. The faith with a big company is that, you believe...

FASTEST GROWING ECONOMY SLIPS ON HAPPINESS INDEX, AGAIN!

about 9 years ago

We are the fastest growing economy in the world and we are climbing higher, slowly and steady on the Ease of Doing Business ladder. But when it comes to happiness, we are slipping down consistently. There has to be some disconnect – how can the world’s largest democracy and fastest growing economy score so low on the Happiness Index, ranked at 133 out of 156, much below even Pakistan and Nepal!

INDIA INC – STINGY WHEN IT COMES TO CSR

about 9 years ago

When Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) was made mandatory, there was a big hue and cry. Why force companies to give? That was the moot question. But a recent finding put out by Bloomberg is even more telling, making us wonder whether we really know the companies that we are investing in. It also makes us wonder whether we should consider a company’s CSR as a criteria for investing.

about 9 years ago

THE DEMON OF DEMONETIZATION CONTINUES TO HAUNT

about 9 years ago

The jury is still out. There is no definitive YES or NO answer to the question dogging every Indian’s mind today – did demonetization work? But a BIG definitive YES goes to PayTM, which has been the biggest winner of this, with 250 million registered users – 105% jump since Jan’16!

RCOM – TIGER ABHI ZINDA HAI, PART-2!!!

about 9 years ago

Anil Ambani held a Press Conference yesterday and his announcement created a surprise. Three months ago, there was an announcement of handing over control to the lenders as it is becoming a part of the Strategic Debt Restructuring (SDR) plan. And now the news is that Rcom is exiting the earlier proposed SDR plan.

DVRs – NO ONE IS GIVING THIS CATEGORY THE GOLDEN GLOBE!!

about 9 years ago

Why would we buy a DVR when we can get the shares, albeit at a higher price but with the assurance of a better dividend and power to vote if anything is going wrong in the company? Also with Nifty excluding Tata Motors DVR, the writing on the wall is that maybe one day, BSE might do the same. Thus at this point of time, no one is truly giving a thumbs up to DVRs.

IS IT TIME TO EXIT FROM PSU BANKING STOCKS?

about 9 years ago

There is a virtual massacre on the PSU bank stocks. Take a look at the top losers, be it Nifty or BSE; all losers are PSU banks, with Union Bank, PNB, Allahabad Bank alternating between the top spot of losers. On the BSE Bankex, all banking stocks are in the red, except for Kotak Bank, which is just about holding to the green.

THE STORY OF CORRUPTION REMAINS INTACT

about 9 years ago

The ruling Govt won with a thumping victory because we Indians wants to break free from an immoral and corrupt Govt. We thought that with the new Govt, new thoughts and new ways of working, it will clear the way for a “cleaner” India. We are nearing the end of the five-year term and instead of corruption going down, there is proof that it has increased.

PC JEWELLERS – YEH KYA HO RAHA HAI?

about 9 years ago

Maybe the market is punishing the company for selling shares in a non-transparent manner for raising money through the ‘gift’ way. That, for the market in the Nirav Modi era, is a big red flag. Yes, the Nirav Modi and Gitanjali scam too has spooked the market and wherever there is even a doubt, punters are fleeing.

THE LURE OF CHINESE STOCKS DESPITE ODDS….

about 8 years ago

Every foreign investor worth his name in salt wants to buy more and more into Chinese stocks. This despite the lack of transparency, and so many rules and regulations, limits on buying. Yet, global funds are going all out to increase their investments in China

SERIOUSLY, MUMBAI ONLY FOR THE RICHEST

about 9 years ago

This was something which should not surprise anyone of us living in Mumbai. Realty prices continue to remain unaffordable and infrastructure continues to sag under the pressure of the ever growing population; and way back in 2015, it lost its mantle as the economic capital of India to Delhi.

LIFE AFTER RCOM – OF COURSE IT EXISTS!

about 9 years ago

If you can ignore the drama in Karnataka, the obvious BIG story today is Anil Ambani’s Reliance Communication (RCom). The top loser on the bourses since morning, the fear seems to be shaping into a reality – it might go bankrupt very soon. Now that would be the biggest bankruptcy of India.

ROWE PICKING UP A RIGHTFUL ROW IN UTI MF

about 9 years ago

It was great pleasure that we read the news that US-based asset manager T.Rowe Price Group was asking some very pertinent questions regarding the much delayed IPO of UTI Mutual Fund (UTI MF). In an exclusive to Business Standard, what we learnt is that T Rowe has shot off a very terse letter to Finance Ministry and SEBI, stating that the Board of UTI MF was deliberately putting off the IPO and it has sought immediate Govt intervention/action.

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

about 8 years ago

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.

WHEN WE LOSE FAITH IN GOVT DATA…..

When even the Prime Minister of India admits that he has no idea how many jobs his Govt is creating, doesn’t it point to a serious issue – data collection and reliability?

THE FALL OF NBFCs – FEAR FACTOR AT PLAY

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?

FOR NOW, PSU DIVESTMENT STORY LOOKS SAD

about 8 years ago

The target has been set at Rs.80,000 crore and of this, till date, only 19.05% or Rs.15,247 crore has been met. At this point of time, it looks pretty uphill. Well it had come up with this ambitious target riding piggy back on the proposed divestment in Air India in current fiscal, which fizzled out like a deflated balloon.

UNION BUDGET FY20 – A SURGICAL STRIKE, DECIMATING ALL OPPOSITION

about 8 years ago

It is an election budget! There is no doubt on that! And who said that it was an interim budget? It was a full budget! The Budget has tried to keep all the voters happy – farmers, middle class, home owners, corporate India. At the moment it is a little difficult to see who among them is happier
