dear radhika,
You have touched upon a very sensitive topic. Beware.
What may look ordinary(extraordinary) to you may look exactly opposite to others.
Your extraordinary mistakes(as considered by you) may actually be very ordinary.

dear novice1000,
Fortis Healthcare may be a good stock in that case if purchased below Rs. 65.

dear novice1000,
You are absolutely right in saying that contratrian views are must for progress.
Every food has something good and bad. Life style is more to be blamed for bad health than food.

dear vkk43,
Thanks.
From your message 'Whether Centrum Broking should find another head of research is their problem.'
Point taken. In future I will refrain from making such remarks.

dear vam aru,
Probably it was a careless remark from my side as I have not tried any other online broker. Therfore regarding brokerages I have no data to compare with. I regret the mistake.

That is true. There is no problem with margin or order execution with ICICIdirect. The only problem is high brokerage and some times slow working of site.

dear HLN,
Although I am more happy with dal-roti and occasional scotch but the list is quite interesting. Even more refreshing is the change of topic from nifty to food items. As it is there is not much to do till expiry this month. Markets are behaving against all expectations.

dk, There is nothing sensitive about it. Why should we know english. They have imposed their language and culture on us. ... else we would have seen our kids speak the most fluent local language... its a pity that the brits were responsible for the setback in the blossoming of our multicultural heritage. I believe now they are studying the british raj in their colleges and the college teenies are dumstruck and horrified to know what all their ancestors did. I appreciate folks who dont make an attempt to learn english not from wanting to rebel but for their couldnt care less attitude... LOL...

Market will be bullish in the next few days as FIIs are turned as buyers and no untoward news from govt. Market will go up...

dear deepak, You seem to be quite a balanced investor.If time permits have a look at Apollo hospitals. The next wave of outsourcing is going to be in the area of 3rd phase of clinical trials which requires access to huge number of patients. Apollo with its wider presence is very well poised to catch up the opportunities in that space. This field is still in the infancy stage and is likely to witness very good growth in the years to come.And those who have the investment horizon of 5 years or so can start picking that scrip on a SIP basis, whenever market tanks. regards ...

dear deepak, yes i do agree that most of the health poblems like obesity,BP and coronary artery diseases are lifestyle diseases. And no wonder that processed food would add fuel to the fire. And i am seriously planning to look at stocks that are in the business of health care and food processing to cash in on that... regards...

It is OK. My msg was in a lighter vein. Thnx....

You are absolutely right. This projection now is of no use to any investor. Whether Centrum Broking should find another head of research is their problem....

dear dk, The list is really a good list except the Pizza. regards...
