Sudhakajaria: Dear Sir, for your faithful chatters, can you not give us a NIFTY CALL now at least, if the market has bottomed out or nearing the bottom. We have purchased Prism at 61, Bluebird at 84, Gail at 550, Igarshi at 114. The whole world is in a bad shape. At this point of time, what do you suggest for your BELOVED ONES? Cash at hand or recommend some screaming buy for us to benefit from this UNUSUAL FALL, or is it better to stay away?
Ramesh Damani: as u know i dont give nifty calls ..my sense is that fmcg and cement will provide safe harbor in the days to come
SONU_SAI: will budget will bring the mkt up or down
Ramesh Damani: the FM will keep an eye on the budget and cut rates for taxes which would be a positive

Ramesh Damani: i fu find value buy it by all means...crisis of someone can be an opportunity for u if u are a disciplined investor
SONU_SAI: it was said that mkt will see down in feb and march but we are seeing it down ow then what will we consider feb and march as bugettime will be near
Ramesh Damani: cant really predict the market
kanupriyaa: Dear Sir, today when many have burnt their fingers, is there any stock you see from your perspective as a screaming buy, now that the stocks are available even below attractive levels. IFLEX at 900, Bluebird at 44, Prism at 43. Or is it better to stay away from markets as global clouds have attacked our market and WAIT. As you know many stocks have been purchased at a higher price. Do share with us, if we could benefit from this MORE THAN EXPECTED FALL of market due to MARGINS
Ramesh Damani: i think the stocks u mentioned are cheap and could be bought at these rates....
mariappan.m: Wishing you a great year ahead Sir. I have been a silent reader of this chat transscripts and able to learn a lot from you, thanks.
Ramesh Damani: thanks and keep up the investing
ssesh1: Do you see the markets going below today`s low tomorrow?

Ramesh Damani: power sector is under pressure and will underperform
sudz_123: Dear Sir, where do you see the market bottoming out? Or is it really very difficult for you to give an opinion right now. Today when everyone is nervous, do guide us well. Should we be buying any MOUTH WATERING stock at this point of time like TATA STEEL and Tata Tele, or is it best to wait for the dust to settle. Our other stocks have been purchased at a very high price like many have had. If we could benefit in this FALLING KNIFE market, do share with us. Thanks.
Ramesh Damani: i would buy if i spotted value. sectors i have mentioned
nehamathur: Sir holding png gilts from 44 levels. Is it prudent to sit patiently and watch the drama?
Ramesh Damani: i think the logic is still good..at merger we should get a value greater than 50
nehamathur: Though market came down but i believe this is not healty correction. Healthy correction is one which comes down slowly. I dont know how many people sold in this correction. This shows that every rise people will sell off. Your comments.
Ramesh Damani: dificult to predict all this..i concentrate on the stocks in my portfolio mainly
sonali9876: sir,,ONCE AGAIN THANKS for telling us to SELL at exactly right time,,u hav saved us from DISASTER

rishivohra: sir after today will you suggest your chatters to still invest in equity? sir i have 800 rcom at 650/- whats your views.
Ramesh Damani: i almost bullish on equity provided it is cheap
sonali9876: PRISM CEMENT available at DIVIDEND YIELD
Ramesh Damani: yup is attractive
chowlesh: Mr. Damani i rem once u mentioned growth stocks is where one should be.. do u still subscribe to that view ? one would have got butchered today !
Ramesh Damani: that depends on when u bought it and what was the margin of safety
visethi22: sir , is there any relief being provided by govt on FNO holders holding different lots

rushabh_r_shah: ramesh sir , panic in the last few days have created buying oppourtunities for lots of fundamentally good companies ... tata-steel ... idfc .. l
Ramesh Damani: the first two looks good
aaditiyaa: do u think there is a need for structural reforms in the stock markets like ipo funding, financing methods to f

Ramesh Damani: dont individual on individual portfolios
sanketsm: Sir, I recently started investing in the stock market (2 months) and have burnt 45% of my portfolio over that time. In the absence of liquidity, is it prudent to weed out the greater loss making stocks, book that loss, and invest in stocks with sound fundamentals?
Ramesh Damani: generally speaking yes
Harinder Rawat: I want to recover the lossed money which I lost yesterday but there is no permission to enter into the market, WHY. Whats the monopoly of NSE?BSE?
Ramesh Damani: u dont need permission to enter the market
sampath05155: Sir, even if you are holding good stock, market corrects. can we hold it or book loss and enter after wards or can we wait for recovery. what do u thing how long will it take to reach 21000 mark

sudz_123: dEAR sIR, SHOULD WE JUST SIT AND BEAR THE PAIN OR CAN YOU SUGGEST AT LEAST ONE STOCK THAT WE, YOUR LOVED ONES can buy aggresively from the sectors you mentioned, to benefit from this fall. Have you too bought? We would be highly obliged if you share with your chatters. Thanks
Ramesh Damani: going to wait till next week atleast market is too fluid and i may change my mind
phalver: Also why property prices are going up as if there are 100 buyers
Ramesh Damani: logic would suggest property prices have peaked
mkvijayalakshmi: i am a long term investor since 15 years,happy with market. I want to know where i will get rules and regulations of exchanges in respect of deravitives,because without knowing the product in deatil i dont wont to try.Since i have few company shares more than market lots in my portfolio,i want to know whether i can hedge my position in deravitive market

Sid_for_you: In a previous chat you had said that this time the wait may be longer than what it was after May 2006 fall.Do you still hold that view?
Ramesh Damani: i think so market cant keep giving u such quick ops but the jury is still out..lets see
veenaarvind: SIr please share your expertise on power sectors like Rpower,Tata, NTPC
Ramesh Damani: sector will struggle for a while..we may see a technical rally for a while..but i would sell into the rallies in the power sector
nehamathur: I think even wise people fell pray to markets. Your recommendation of blue bird for trading is an example.
Ramesh Damani: lots of my stocks fall and dont work out...or work out later that is a part of the market paradign..no one is invincible
uvsrk: most of the frontline stocks got butchered. were they overvalued then? do they look cheap now? where do you see the recovery coming from?
Ramesh Damani: part of the reason was the technical positionof the market
uvsrk: Is there a lesson for SEBI to control huge IPOs keeping in mind the liquidity impact?
Ramesh Damani: no public must take responsibility for what they do..not sebi job to tell u what to do
parimalmithani: Sir I just want to thanks you for your words of wisdom. Also learnt a lesson that in stock market fear is your best friend and greed is your worst enemy.
Ramesh Damani: amen

Ramesh Damani: for a young person keep the faith and try and compound that is the best route

sanjayvarun1966: Hello Sir, do you think that the markets can see the previous high levels with a next quarter time.
Ramesh Damani: unlikley

Ramesh Damani: markets work on free pricing, dd and supply
Harinder Rawat: Dear Sir, are you still avilable on chat? My question is it the right time to invest or standby for sometime

kvrkrishna: Damaniji - May we know the investment rational behind Igarashi motors? Apart from the Sales to Market cap, I could not find any other parameter attractive in it. Does it hold value in investments or is it a turn around story or is it a monopoly undervalued?
Ramesh Damani: cars will have motors and they will be the supplier...
nandumadhu: If the fundamentals of the market are strong and the bottomline of companies healthy, why do the prices of healthy stocks tumble so much on global cues? Will they bounce back to normal? When?
Ramesh Damani: that is called an opportunity for a savvy investor
vivekrajanand: hi Mr Damani Im Vivek Raj Anand from Apollo Sindhoori, being in the financial sector has been fun for last 4 yrz now, some hard core optimist mey say we have rebound around corner however dont you feel we are now in a bear market and could be staring at 8000 at Sensex soon
