Hello DUstocks
Your article on 3 Future lots on Larsen is very tempting for me to play Future. I am novice in this field. But now in this volatile state of market my attempt would be like Yudha Kale Shasthrabyas or may even be Pratama Chumbanam Dantha Bagnam for me in this Future Trade. Yesterday after reading the article 700 dollar billion bailout in America and the effect is still wandering in my mind. The article is posted here in this Under "Effect of 700 billion dollar bailout on us". This year 2008 brought lot disasters from the beginning and hope will end in this itself.
...

I just read an article in yahoo news about 700 billion dollar bailout proposal. Will this not affect our market again? How the dollar is going to react with Rupee? Will the FIIS participate in our market as in the past? Will we have our share in the cascading effects? The article is posted below please read and comment

The short answer: a lot. The long answer: depends on how you look at it.

Whatever your viewpoint, here's how $700 billion - the figure inked in the initial dead-in-the-water government bailout bill for Wall Street - compares to other vast sums.

NASA in fiscal year 2009 will launch several missions into space and pay for hundreds of people to operate a host of space telescopes and even remote robots on Mars and run a PR and media department that puts most large corporations to shame. The agency's budget: $17.6 billion, or 2.5 percent of the bailout sum.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has an annual budget of $6.06 billion to support research and education on astronomy, chemistry, materials science, computing, engineering, earth sciences, nanoscience and physics (among others) at more than 1,900 universities and institutions across the United States.

You have to turn to much bigger initiatives, like war and defense, to get beyond this chump change and approach the bailout figure.

From 2003 through the end of fiscal year 2009, Congress has appropriated $606 billion for military operations and other activities associated with the war in Iraq, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The entire military budget for fiscal 2008 is $481.4 billion.

Social Security is a $608 billion annual program.

Many analysts fear the bailout because the cost must ultimately be borne by taxpayers.

Based on the U.S. Census Bureau's estimate of the current population of about 305 million people, each person would have to pay $2,300 to fund the $700,000,000,000. If each American (including children) paid a dollar a day, it would take more than six years to pay the money in full. One might argue, however, that this $700 billion would be a modest splash in the bucket of national debt, which already stands at well over $9 trillion (which means you already owe $31,642 each).

Even the New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez would lose sleep over all those zeroes. Currently the top paid major league baseball player, Rodriguez takes home $28 million a year, meaning it would take 25,000 A-Rod salaries to carry the $700 billion.

Nobody is rich enough to pay back this $700 billion by himself. In fact, the Forbes 400 richest list recently came out. It would take most of what these 400 people collectively have - a combined net worth of $1.57 trillion - to dig out of this mess. ...

Hello dmalya
Since one week almost all stocks are falling. It is not only for L&T shares. It is due to global economical condition. Most of the investors may be withdrawing or may be taking safer positions. This will continue for some more time still saturation takes place. No one can predict how long this correction may continue. Don’t expect a better price after bonus. I can only say L&T is better positioned when compare to other. Have patience and wait or sell and wait to buy later at lower levels.

I started writing a blog America is bigger than India but before I could correct and add some more it just vanished and found in the message box. It happened in the past also. I just let this go like a kite without the thread.
Now coming to Larsen now I feel it is wise to wait and buy after ex date. The present market is very volatile and dangerous. Even if you Buy & Sell these blue chip company shares have to loose 1 to 2% of the stock price on brokerage etc depending on the duration of transaction. I feel these ups and downs are created to make up the losses incurred else ware and wind up here. Huge ups and downs are always dangerous. There is a saying to catch a bigger fish you must hook a bigger prey. L&T may not be affected much on this but when there is fire all around it will have the effects. There may be good days after Feb March 2009.

America is richer than India both in wealth and resources. Government has different policies for its citizen. When there is a crisis they are together and solve the problems. In the Lehman Bros crisis when it reached the boiling point government interfered and brought solutions. It may look some thing wrong for others but it is always correct to them. In another six months they will prove what is done is right. We talked with figures saying the loss is around 50% more than what INDIA governments written of as farmers wave off. The people there are different, the culture is different, and belief is different. Most of the countries in the world go to America for some or other type of help... They know how to make up the losses.
You can't find that in India. One example is sufficient to quote be Tata Nano project. Politicians ruined the beginning of industrial again revolution in communist controlled states in this country. If any Sensex fall in the world our market is very sympathetically.
We are very good companies existing who are well acknowledged all over the world but the share price is varying like waves in Arabian Sea in rainy season. Take for example BHEL, NTPC, RIL, Thermax, ONGC, BEL, L&T and many more they are exceptional, but see the shares position. Let us first build our companies.

Hello vijay yogish
The BIG Bang is postponed to another 2 months so I can't say whether L&T will reach again Rs 2350.
...

Thank You for your advice. two factors are fearing me that the date of PE Note expiry is on 17th October. and the bail out package. I am new in the market and it is difficult to make mind keep investing or maintain cash? ...

Tunga, i agree. L&T is a hold even in this declining market. ...

U R right. Market will face weakness this month and Larsen alone cannot be a gainer....

ish mein naya kya hai ?...

Hi, If i Buy now Larsen would I be eligible for Bonus...

What your trying to convey ? pl make up your mind before bloging ...

Hello Yogesh, You can always buy L&T anytime, if you are a long term invester. If you are looking for 2-3 yrs perspective then no need to time the market. Go for it, and avail the benifit of bonus. As far as 2350 leval is concerned, it was just because of a one time event called "lehmen crisis" in US, when all major stocks plunged for a while. It was a unique opportunity but is lost. However, if you are still hesitating then buy it in two or three stages. Separate your capital that you want to invest in L&T in three parts and start investing it in installments. One around current price, second if price come down around 2400 and rest after bonus. And always keep some cash with you in standby mode, because in current market Cash is King! All the best....
