Who will lead the e-commerce market in India by 2004?


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 15 19100 4:49 IST)

Why are infotech stocks on the rise in the markets?


Mr Ramesh Damani(Wed Nov 15 19100 4:55 IST)

caesar - B group stocks tend to do poorly in this kind of market


sameer (Wed Nov 15 19100 5:05 IST)
Do you think the stock exchanges are threatened and in a few years we may trade on virtual exchanges? What can happen then?


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 15 19100 5:06 IST)
sameer - sure could. A lot of middleman are going to be looking for work

Good evening sir. What is the chance of this rally going up 200 points further?


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 15 19100 5:10 IST)
lolo = I am bullish. I think we could even touch 4500


sameer (Wed Nov 15 19100 5:8 IST)
Do you see the number of active brokers reducing on BSE and NSE in the next few years? What will be the fate of the regional brokers?


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 15 19100 5:10 IST)
sameer - Yes, to about 150. Others including the regional ones will face a hard time.


bullish (Wed Nov 15 19100 5:10 IST)
Has the Nasdaq started following BSE these days? On Monday it fell after BSE and on Tuesday it went up after BSE again?


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 15 19100 5:13 IST)
bullish - It seems like that but it is a spurios correlation. No one knows the Sensex values in USA.


rathi (Wed Nov 15 19100 5:19 IST)
Do you see a pre-budget rally now?


Mr Ramesh Damani (Wed Nov 15 19100 5:21 IST)
