Reliance Capital, which has not been spared either in this financial crisis, has revamped its business and it had put fresh consumer lending on hold for the past two weeks. It will service only existing loans of around Rs 10,000 crore. Rel Cap has hired 3,000 employees since July, and targets top 20 customers of insurance and mutual fund business....

The stock markets are risky business. At least that’s the line most people who didn’t park their money in Dalal Street have maintained. But on the flip side, the argument is ‘no pain, no gain’… ‘no risk, no returns’. It’s an age-old dilemma... Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
Take the case of Harsh . He’s an IT professional. He, like millions, invested in the stock market consistently during the bull-run. Over the last two years, he parked Rs 24 lacs in it. Today his portfolio has lost half its value. And he’s cursing his luck.
Harsh took higher risks in the hope of higher returns. Was he wrong?
`Quite`, says Financial Trainer Bharat Patel. "You may expect higher risks for higher returns, but that`s not always true. To get better returns, sometimes you need to reduce risk – not increase it."
How do you do that? Here`s an easy approach:
Keep the money you require in the short term (i.e. less than 3 years) in debt instruments.
And invest the money you require in the long term (i.e. like 7 years or more) in equity.
But resisting a ride on the crest of the stock market is tough. Especially when it soars. Blocking out exclamations of joy from those who see the value of their portfolios rise with the Sensex isn’t easy. The trouble only begins when markets do a U-turn and a tailspin all at once. Investors break into a frenzy, and ultimately, despair.
"If you have a long term view, why do you track the markets on an hourly basis?" asks Bharat Patel. True. An exercise in futility for all you do is die a million deaths – without hope of nirvana.
Then again, from another perspective, the markets going down are good for young investors. After all you have the opportunity to invest for the long term, getting stocks that you wouldn’t get – at unimaginable prices.
Indeed, with a long term vision, investing in a bearish market isn`t a risk, it`s an opportunity. Trading is risky, but not investing. As Warren Buffet says, "If you know what you are doing, there is no risk".
Think about it this way. Not taking a risk is also a risk. For one, the money that you keep under your pillow would erode all its value with rising inflation.
The idea then is to manage risk. Here`s how:
Study your portfolio from time to time, say every six months. And then identify your risks. Your risks will typically change over a period of time with changes in interest rates and inflation. Your default risk also changes when the company you’ve invested money in, goes bankrupt.
Set your goals… the crucial ones like retirement and the not-so-crucial ones like that Tag Heur watch you wanted to indulge in. That way, you’ll see how you can best reduce your risk.
Keep a balanced portfolio. Spread your risks across different asset classes. You should have money in a savings bank account, PPF, Fixed Deposits, Gold, Real Estate and Equity. Ensure you’ve allocated 50-60% in equity with a long term vision and the rest in other asset classes.
Remember! You can’t avoid risk. At best, it can be managed...

CCEA letter says Transaction has to happen in Stock Exchange,
Stock Exchanges dont permit purchase of Shares being sold at 266 to be sold at 757 on same day.
Daiichi should start procuring from Stock Market the 37 % of share holding irrespective of Seller, Ranbaxy could be one of the Share Holders.
Daiichi now has chance to reduce its losses, which would have to be borne by Ranbaxy.
Other Shareholders who couldnot sell in Open Offer due to Over Subscription could get a chance,

I do hope that SEBI does NOT PERMIT THIS TO go through. This would mean that the promoters would get everything tax free and the minority shareholder will have to pay tax. Further in this deal, the minority shareholders cannot get a price that is the same as the promoters, unless the Jap company buys out the full outstanding shares.
In cases like this, the law sucks.

Buddy CCEA never made it compulsive on promoter to go through Stock Exchange but why in this case ?
Obviously Tax implication is high , If govt fight vodafone on filmsy ground for tax , then CCEA should remove this clause and let then complete the transection off market.
This is after all 3 times the current market price.
Singhs\\\\`s will have sufficient to buy entire Ranbaxy back even after paying Max Non Indexed 10 % Cap Tax on total procced less cost.
So in effect Tax outgo for them is not more than 900 Cr. at the max...
