Hello everybody thanks for joining in. Let's start


RAJ (Wed Nov 22 19100 4:24 IST)
HI Mr Damani. The market is down again today. Is there any hope. People are talking about Sensex of 3200.


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 4:56 IST)
Raj - Market should hold at 3495


sonali (Wed Nov 22 19100 4:38 IST)
what do you think about Balaji-Nine Networks merger?


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 4:57 IST)
sonali - time is not ready for these stocks. The leader seems still weak (zee)


vishal (Wed Nov 22 19100 4:42 IST)
Mr Damani -- few guys have become too important to control the market, as if it will dance to their tune???


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 4:58 IST)
vishal - market does not dance to anybody's tune. It is supreme. It will punish excesses. Always


vishal (Wed Nov 22 19100 4:57 IST)

manojahuja - no listed stocks in this sector.


ashabhagwan (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:2 IST)

Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:2 IST)
asha - huge selling. This is a weak counter.


manojahuja (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:2 IST)
What's the story behind DSQ Biotech, it's just zooming up


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:4 IST)
manoj - the name is good. I don't know the business model though.


manojahuja (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:4 IST)
Between Guj Ambuja and Grasim, which is the better pick


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:7 IST)
manoj - Guj Ambuja seems better


vishal (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:7 IST)
DSQ BIOTECH --- WHAT IS YOUR TAKE???


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:8 IST)
vishal - i am not positive on it


vishal kothari (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:7 IST)
will the index touch 3333.33


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:8 IST)
vishal - i hope it won't.


Umesh (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:8 IST)
Hi Ramesh, you were excellent this morning on CNBC but I was disappointed when you said you still don't follow Indian Rayon. Remember few months back I had suggested the same. It has given me 50% return in about four months. NOT BAD! I am still bullish on IR.


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:9 IST)
Umesh - thanks for reminding me. and thanks for the comment


vishal kothari (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:9 IST)
what about aksh optifibre


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:11 IST)
vishal -aksh seems well priced


vishal (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:10 IST)
Mr damani --- one serious question --- what is authentic reason of today's fall ???


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:13 IST)
vishal - the gridlock in USA led people to believe that US markets will fall. This led to our fall.


manojahuja (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:12 IST)
Any potential takeovers that u can site ?


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:13 IST)
manoj - look in the cement sector. ACC and Kesoram are good ideas


ashabhagwan (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:13 IST)
what's your view on wipro


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:14 IST)
asha - among the best of the software stocks is WIPRO


manojahuja (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:14 IST)
Hidustan Zinc -- Divestment news, is it a good buy?


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:15 IST)
manoj - what is the disinvestment news


manojahuja (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:17 IST)
Govt has decided to offload 26 % stake in favour of strategic partner and give management control too. Scrip book value is 25


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:29 IST)
vishal - I am just disgusted at the pace of reform in this country


vishal kothari (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:14 IST)
if SAB is priced at 300, so why should zee sustain at 2800 (10 paid-up)


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:16 IST)
vishal - it won't. It will fall


ashabhagwan (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:17 IST)
how to do technical analysis? Any particular books to read


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:19 IST)
asha - a book by Murphy called Technical Analysis is a good place to start


Umesh (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:18 IST)
Ramesh one good investment pick? A multibagger in making?


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:20 IST)
Umesh - if you have patience for 2- 3 years look at CITICORP Securities. Long term though


Umesh (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:20 IST)
Should one hold on to HDFC Bank or can one add more at the price of 225?


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:21 IST)
Umesh - I would hold HDFC Bank


vishal kothari (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:22 IST)
please reply specifically whether to hold zee or not


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:23 IST)
vishal - i would not hold zee


Umesh (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:22 IST)
Is WIPRO a good buy?


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:23 IST)
Umesh- Wipro, NIIT and INFY are the best bets.


Umesh (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:25 IST)
Thanks a lot Ramesh - I am always a bit confused about Tech Stock valuations!


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:25 IST)
manoj - we have been in a bear market for a while. I think market will hold at 3495 though. Actually I hope higher


vishal kothari (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:24 IST)
thank you for reply, i believe you do not have any personal dushmani with zee


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:25 IST)

what shoud i do with satyam if bought at 500


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:27 IST)
vishal - I would book my loss


Umesh (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:27 IST)
How soon market may touch 3495 ? if at all!


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:28 IST)
UMESH - I think we will survive that


manojahuja (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:29 IST)
Sir is there any steam left in GE Shipping


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:29 IST)
manoj - yes. GE look good to touch 40


ashabhagwan (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:29 IST)

Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:30 IST)
asha - peter lynch one up on wall street


Umesh (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:30 IST)
Well disinvestment has become a tool for the GAME - if you know what I mean Ramesh!


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:31 IST)
Umesh - Disinvestment policy makes me want to cry


Umesh (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:33 IST)
Even I fail to understand what's wrong. We are losing out on the advantages of disinvestment and losing money at the same time.


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 22 19100 5:32 IST)
Thanks for joining you. See you next week.
