abcl (Tue Jan 2 101 2:33 IST)
have the economic fundamentals changed so drastically for the old economy stocks to be back in action or is it the usual run up before the Budget... so that again it can be sold off as soon as the Budget is over?


Mr Ramesh Damani (Tue Jan 2 101 2:34 IST)
abcl - value investing seems back in vogue. The old economy stocks will improve some and then retrace


mahesh (Tue Jan 2 101 2:35 IST)
hello. market ended on a very positive note today.


Mr Ramesh Damani (Tue Jan 2 101 2:36 IST)

Mr Ramesh Damani (Tue Jan 2 101 2:44 IST)

rajeev (Tue Jan 2 101 2:42 IST)
hi ramesh would like to know about how DSQ Biotech will feature in next few months.


Mr Ramesh Damani (Tue Jan 2 101 2:44 IST)
rajeev - i am not a fan of this stock


mahesh (Tue Jan 2 101 2:45 IST)
as we see more and more dumping of goods from the Chinese markets we obviously have to be more cautious in investing into manufacturing companies in the long run. Your view


Mr Ramesh Damani (Tue Jan 2 101 2:45 IST)
mahesh - yes. Look for co's having a moat, or competitve advantage


abcl (Tue Jan 2 101 2:45 IST)
how will a global economic slowdown affect India? is it advisable to stay in stocks if that is the case?


Mr Ramesh Damani (Tue Jan 2 101 2:46 IST)
abcl - it's a tough decision to time the market. I don't see that threat at the current time


rajeev (Tue Jan 2 101 2:45 IST)
any idea on satyam and zee for next couple of months.


Mr Ramesh Damani (Tue Jan 2 101 2:46 IST)
rajeev - they will rally from time to time but are weak.


krishna (Tue Jan 2 101 2:46 IST)
dear Mr Damani, If I want to invest in some long term scrips (fundamently strong) which would fetch me good return, can you please name them some. thanks


Mr Ramesh Damani (Tue Jan 2 101 2:47 IST)
krisna - see earlier answers. But remember equity is a risky investment. You can lose money.


rajeev (Tue Jan 2 101 2:47 IST)
so what is the best rate to get out according to you


Mr Ramesh Damani (Tue Jan 2 101 2:48 IST)
rajeev - you are the better judge of that since I don't own the stock


abcl (Tue Jan 2 101 2:48 IST)
have we come out of the intermediate bear phase?


Mr Ramesh Damani (Tue Jan 2 101 2:49 IST)
abcl - looks like it


mahesh (Tue Jan 2 101 2:47 IST)

abcl (Tue Jan 2 101 2:54 IST)
what impact will a bearish US market have on India? Will the upside potential for Indian markets be capped if that's the case?


Mr Ramesh Damani (Tue Jan 2 101 2:55 IST)
abcl - yes it would. Let's hope the Fed can engineer a soft landing


mahesh (Tue Jan 2 101 2:53 IST)

Mr Ramesh Damani (Tue Jan 2 101 2:56 IST)
