Yes i said about some profits in january.... reinvestd 50% of them again in stock market,now they are quoting at almost 50% of my investment amount in 2008.... but luckily/fortunately all these losses recovered in speculation in recent times.... so,on over all, havent earned/lost anything in 2008 sofar.... proudly say that not in losses even sensex fell by nealy 50% in this year.... pl note that havent pumped in fresh amount during this year sofar,the part profits made in the previous years are invested back.... so,not in panic,not in depression till now.... now mainly betting on options for safer /guaranteed returns.......

Dear psgs,what happened to this blue fii darling.... it looked like many fiis given divorce to infy.... even at 1300,investors seeing at doubt with infy in present condition.......

Present situation itself is in dilemma,where is the question of future guidance.......

Dear radhika,it is very difficult to beleive promoters on the buy back matters.... few just announced buyback to arrest the fall of their shares,few are struggling for cash for their buyback approvals.... for few sebi is hoding the approvals.... few announced consideration of buyback if their stocks fall further.... for example dlf telling buyback for quite sometime,but not implementing as per their plan.... though there are few going for genuine buybacks,a a whole lot of confusion at the moment with this buy back stories.... almost all companies facing liquidity crunch,so where is the possibility of buybacks.... the promoters who sold stocks in the bull run peak may be buying back some shares to increase their stakes.... so,even buybacks are not helping investors here.......

The downward target is achieved in very easy manner.......

As Manmohan behaving like neero emperorer,investors worrying whether nifty will see 4000 mark again in the year 2008 or not.......

Teledata just fell 90% only sofar from its peak .... and given two unlisted shares extra.... ofcourse nobody knows when they are going to list.... pl note that there are no of scrips which fell more than 95% from their peaks.... so not necessary to blame teledata alone for losses.......

Hi marketman It is almost a bumper diwali sale in the markets. FII on the sell mode and we have lost valuable points and money. The problem in US seems never ending in the near term. But some of the best times to buy into the markets are when the blood in on the street. If this is the biggest problem of the century the markets are facing than this also the oppurtunity of the century the markets have throw open. The journey will be painful and may take time and also this may not be the end of the pain. I don`t believe in govt supporting markets. US govt brought the biggest bail out plan and we seeing the aftermath of such plans. Easing inflation, bank rates, crude and commodity prices are fair enough triggers for the markets. Regards...

Dear marketman, I picked it up at that valuation.. and will now lock it for a long long time... regards, Sourav...

In this situation, no buy back will b helpful to arrest the share price fall. Great offshore is one example. So long as buy back was going on, it was a little firm. Now that buy back is over, share has fallen sharply....

Marketman, Sometime back you said u made a lot of money in stockmarkets, i think it was one year back... remember? Did u encash all ur profits then. If yes did u reinvest and when... if you have yet to reinvest, how much will you deploy in stocks and which shares and how soon do u think markets will recover. It may take 3 to 4 years they say... but that kind of bullrun is history for now i feel.... Could u recommend some penny stocks to me which i can buy in bulk... they should be below Rs 10. Thanks in advance....

i also agree that management may not go for guidance any more and that will give another downward push to stock....

marketman, Would you know which companies are buying back their shares? Is there a board which lists companies buying back their shares? This would be very useful information...

I dont know whether RIL will touch to 800 level or not, but Sensex below 8000 is wishful thinking...Our economy is strong, inflation is coming down as crude prices are in reverse gear...So dont ever think of Sensex below 10000.......
