Dear Mr Pranky and other well wishers of the deceased
Why not money control do something- say power your trade- can come out since they have payment site- just swipe credit card for transfer. As a prolific boarder- i suggest you can initiate a thread exclusively and see if some thing concrete is done. For your info there are many MMB Boarders ready for their contribution- what is needed is a channel for that. Cheers ...

Lokesh machines is already under the list of Mahindra- further are you trying to make a corporate raid. Dear Friend- this is not the time amd still you are interested- you contact your broker- for 20 percent- (the board of directors should be ready to transfer such quantity) will they. I could not understand the word: VULTURES. If you have addressed to the boarders- i feel sorry- if you have addressed to the management of the companies you have listed- i am afraid how you can deal with those vultures after you acquiring 20 percent with your five crores. All the best in your venture (if you have made a spelling mistake of venture and vulture- please ignore my last few lines) Cheers ...

If you are prepared to absorb loss and confident that your 16000.00 can cover your loss (no need of profit) quit the counter- alternatively- hang on - after all- it will go down further by another two to three rupees. absorb that and keep waiting for a jump (for your info- with over 20 percent public holdings, the volume is so low- soon you can expect a jump. As such no one want to liquidate at loss- that is the prevailing psychology of the investors. rest you decide how you can minimize the loss. BUT DO NOT TRY TO AVERAGE. This counter is not worth that much. ...

Dear Mr Pranky
Is there any one arranging funds for the deceased in this horror. Please check and update in this board as there are many boarders who live abroad wish to send their contributions to the bereaved family. It is not going to reduce their grief- but certainly will help those poor deceased.Any charitable institution/Lions club/Rotary club has created any account head to help them- Please assist. Cheers ...

HK65 But whatever said & done.... Now whether Unitech or any other realty scrips wont go up & up in a straight line..... Sentiments have really turned upside down..... And I have learnt one thing that SENTIMENTS ALWAYS holds an UPPER HAND among FUNDAMENTALS & Technicals etc. But I am also sure that in the long run.... say in 1.5 to 3 years time ..... All these stocks will DEFINATELY CROSS its previous highs & wud ALSO go much much beyond those HIGHER PEAK LEVELS, as I PERSONALLY think & PRESUME that REALTY PRICES in INDIA in the LONGER TERM , say by 2011 will again be at much higher levels.... Any property history wud foretell U that REALTY PRICES have ALWAYS RISEN in the long term & even gone further up than their previous highs.... One more reason I think is that this SECTOR is highly under-owned, in terms of its equities, by any group of people..... ALSO, foreign funds whenever they will come in, will come in FIRST into this sector & also DIRECTLY into REAL ESTATE..... I think the begginning to all this will be SECOND HALF of 2009, when the seeds of INVESTMENTS wud be bowed & fresh start all over again..... cheers as always pranky!! . ...

Obama has instigated that India has every right to protect itself from mindless terrorism unleashed upon it. As Pakistan too is armed with Nuclear technology, though stolen from North Korea, India is not able to go in for a full fledge war. However those who value democracy will understand, terrorism has no religion and no one is secure unless it is bridled. thanks....

The three-day-long terror strike on the country’s financial capital was devastating in terms of its reach and impact. It has left Corporate India badly shaken and the elites numb. It is no more about bombs being thrown at bus stations or trains getting blasted. It is no longer about only Nagpada or Govindpuri residents losing limbs and lives. Terror has now climbed up the value chain. As the new age entrepreneur Kiran Majumdar Shaw told a Bangalore newspaper, “So far, the terrorists targeted common people. Now the society’s elite, the business sector, is the target. What happened in Mumbai is a loud wake-up call for all of us to do something to protect ourselves.” Corporate India did not bat an eyelid when Mumbai train blasts took place, or when Sarojini Nagar was burning on a Diwali day, or Hyderabad was weeping two years before. But today, every corporate captain is angry, and so are the celebrities who people Page 3 of newspapers, due largely because the attacks on the three top hotels were directly aimed at those who frequent these places, for business or pleasure (contrast this with the scant coverage of the carnage at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, for example, where commoners were involved). All the same, the bleeding-heart liberals would be back to their routine ways after a few days. They will lament that the captured terrorist has not been given his favourite food and not allowed to watch TV or use his cell phone; they will say his human rights are violated. Just wait for the chorus. Of course, this time it will be between Page 3 and the jholawalas (activists) and that should be an interesting match to watch, but that’s another story. In the last ten years, not a single session of any seminar sponsored by the CII or Ficci or business/ general journals has focused on terrorism. When this writer once broached the importance of talking about it, a senior business captain said it is for the government to deal with. Many of those seminars gave importance to Musharraf and now Zardari, as if they are going to provide any solution when they are a part of the problem. Now, at least, terrorism is being realised as a problem facing the country. Let us summarise what the real situation is and corporate sector should do if we are serious in fighting terrorism on our soil. 1. Recognise and treat Pakistan as a terrorist state. The state policy of Pakistan is terrorism and their single-point programme is to destroy India. This needs to be internalised by every business baron including the owners of media. 2. Now, the elite of Pakistan are more angry, since India is growing at 7% and they are given CCC rating and stiff conditions for borrowing from IMF. Many an academic from that country, who I have met in global conferences, has openly lamented that nobody talks about Indo-Pak relations anymore, but only Indo-China or Indo-American, etc. They want to be equal but they are in deep abyss 3. Pakistan is the only territory in the world where an army has a whole country under its control. This is an important issue since studies have found that a large number of corporates in Pakistan are ultimately owned by the Fauji Foundation (FF), Army Welfare Trust (AWT) Bahria Foundation (BF), Shaheen Foundation (SF) all owned by different wings of armed forces (See paper presented by Dr Ayesha Siddiqa-Agha on “Power, Perks, Prestige And Privileges: Military’s Economic Activities In Pakistan” in The International Conference on Soldiers in Business—Military as an Economic Actor; Jakarta, October 17-19, 2000). Hence, do not try to think of Pakistan without its army, irrespective of who rules that country temporarily and nominally. At least 70% of the market capitalisation of the Karachi stock exchange is owned by the army and related groups. 4. There are three groups in India, who are obsessed with friendship with Pakistan. One is the oldies born in that part before partition and who are nostalgic about the Lahore havelis, halwas and mujras. The second is the Bollywood and other assorted groups, who look at it as a big market. The Dawood gang has financed enough of these useful idiots. The third is the candle light holding bleeding heart liberals (BHLs) who cannot imagine India doing well without its younger brother taken care. All three have been proved wrong hundreds of times, but they are also opinion makers. Shun them, avoid them and ridicule them. conti...............

MUMBAI: Criticising the Centre`s attitude after every terror strikes across the country, the Shiv Sena Wednesday said the government should first flush out "mini Pakistans" mushrooming in India and then think of teaching the neighbour country a lesson. In a strongly worded editorial published in Samana, Shiv Sena mouthpiece, the party pointed out that "mini Pakistans" cropping up across India should be cleaned out on a priority basis in an attempt to prevent further terror attacks. "When the time comes, teach Pakistan a lesson by launching an attack on it. But before that eliminate Pakistans spread in India with your blessing (ruling politicians). If this is done, most of the things would be clear," reads Samana editorial. "Besides Mumbai, large number of mini Pakistans have grown up in India. People residing in these mini Pakistans are not Indian Muslims. They are either Bangladeshi or Pakistani Muslims. Nobody is paying any attention on their anti-social activities. It is here where they were taught the lesson of `Jihad`," the editorial stated. It also equalled politicians with Lashkar-e-Toiba group as they were allegedly providing ration cards and ensuring that the people from mini Pakistan would get voting rights. The party also demanded the execution of Afzal Guru`s hanging who was convicted of conspiracy on Indian Parliament attack in 2001. "Afzal Guru has been treated in Tihar jail as a guest. He is enjoying there. Afzal should be hanged to set an example on how India reacts to terrorist strikes. His hanging will give a strong message that whoever attacks India will either be hanged or be eliminated in encounter," the editorial says. Talking over the terror attacks allegedly sponsored by Lashkar-e-Taiba, Dawood Ibrahim and Masood Azhar, who was let off after a plane was hijacked in 1999, the editorial said "Unless and until, the associates roaming around in various cities are eliminated, Dawood will strike similar terror attacks. Our ruling party leaders have become impotent and how will these impotent leaders fight terrorism?" the editorial asked. Even as Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee claimed that Pakistan was allegedly involved in the Mumbai terror strikes, the editorial said, "Pakistan is in an enjoying mood and perhaps it may be gearing up for another terror strike."

Dear Pranky & all fellow boarders who r jumping from there seats as if they have find a magical tool in th form of 49-O, My dear friends, the info posted is partly right & partly wrong. Here it is - The right Part - Yes Section 49-O does exists but it`s merely for exercising ur denial vote means u r voting for none of the candidates contesting the election. the wrong part - All the remaining story, the 50% 49-O & ....... All this is merely a proposal from Election commission of India & it`s yet not be declared an ACT by Parliament (Read our politicians). Even in case of EVMs (Electronic Voting machines) exercising 49-O is not possible, earlier in days of ballot paper, there was provision to keep ballots under 49-O, but now a days under EVMs there is no mechenism to collect 49-O. for a detail on this matter plz. go thru my earlier post replied to Radhika in which i have posted a link to read all the info on 49-O. Thanks Ashal...
