rutu : The annual report of Opto Circuit is out. I think the promoter wants to sell out in 2-3 yrs...Elekon USA has been sold. His outlook of Rs. 700 cr by 2008 is not unrealistic but why does the MD's wife get paid as much as the MD? She adds no value at all to the company:( Your impression?
Ramesh S damani : I have just received the balance sheet but have not gone through it.

ssree : sir what will the impact on volumes after turn over tax implementation from october 1st any big moves turn around
Ramesh S damani : Market may fall in the first few days. However it will lead to a sustained rally.

pawandelhi : sir can you tell wether these stocks will contribute to the statement made by you on money control.com about the target of senses by march 2005? stocks are MARUTI,TELCO,HEROHONDA,TISCO,HTMT,PFIZER,TCS,INFOSYS,ONGC,?
Ramesh S damani : HTMT is not in Sensex. It is dificult to say, but we should have a strong rally.

chandani : hello sir, TORRENT CABLES now that all powewr stocks are zooming up how does this stock look??
Ramesh S damani : Looks okay to me.

uday : 1) Sir i hav bought BERGER @40.2 what is your view on it? where are you seeing it in near future?2) What is your view on Sail on current price? Is it good to buy at 42.50?
Ramesh S damani : Sail is a good trading bet, I don't follow Berger.

pawandelhi : sir on 30 august 2004 ramanews print was trading at Rs 10.80 with low volumes. last week it was trading in range of Rs. 12.20-13.10 with volume of more than 25 lacs. today is closed at Rs. 11.65 vith volume of 6.65 lacs. sir do you track this company ? please reply sir. pawandelhi says, sir do you track balaji telefilm ? can we enter at the level of rs 95 in this stocks ?manish says, Sir, Are you there
Ramesh S damani : I like Balaji. It is a good bet.

amanashah : Sir Kale was good at 40 rs. you recommende it Now at 60 rs. still low market cap or trading bet and do trading in it?? your views on the stock on possible steam left considering overall market with stock specific view?? Thanks.
Ramesh S damani : I think I would hold on. The company is still not out of the woods but risk rewards favour buyers.

pawandelhi : sir can tata elxi target Rs 200 in march 2005 ?
Ramesh S damani : I have no idea.

Vidya : I AM A HOUSEWIFE AND I WAS GOING THRO' UR CHAT TRANSCRIPTS - YOU HAVE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED KALE CONSULTANTS AND GODREJ INDUSTRIES BUT SOME 2-3 DAYS BACK, ON CNBC YOU ALSO RECOMMENDED INDO MATSUSHITA .I DONT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PURCHASE ALL 3 .SO I WANTED TO KNOW WHICH ONE IS THE BEST OPTION OUT OF THESE 3 FOR INVESTMENT FROM 2-3 YRS PERSPECTIVE?CURRENTLY THE PRICES OF THESE 3 ARE GODREJ INDUSTRIES - 57 , KALE CONSULTANTS - 60 AND INDO MATSUSHITA - 24
Ramesh S damani : I can't make that call. You will have to decide. The most risky probably is Kale since it does not pay a dividend. I own all 3.

rutu : why dont guys like you, RJ, Abhishek Damia play a more activist role in ensuring corp governance? is it the indian 'tolerance' at work? constructive confrontation can always result in unlocking value. eg infomedia, RJ and icici ventures vs Hoshang Billimoria? You should seriously not remain just a passive investor but add value with your knowledge and wisdom. Cos. would save the obsene fees paid to the merch bankers.
Ramesh S damani : Something to think about.

ValueMan : Do u feel that the current bull run is genuine and that the market will not collapse within the next few weeks .
Ramesh S damani : I can't predict that unfortunately.

Ramesh S damani : I have not personally but some friends are recommending it.

blazi : Sir, i am a beginner. I have planned and executed something like this: 5 stocks from index(SBI,RIL,TISCO,WIPRO,BPCL) and 5 growth stocks (tata elxi,?,?,?,?) for 3-4 yrs with currenlty 35K invested. also looking for 4 growth stocks with 3-4 yrs persp from diff sectors. does the srtategy seem wise or amount too small to really matter or diversification with small amount wont reap benefits? Please advise.
Ramesh S damani : At 35k it is too small to diversify.

rajesh : Sir, If you have given a choice between macmillan and Tata Elexi.which will you select. I am overweight on macmillan I want to swich some shares to tata elexi. pl give yr guidance
Ramesh S damani : I own both as core holdings. I think however it is time for MacMillan to move.

Newbieatstock : Sir whats your call on hindustan zinc i think non ferrous metals have a way to go from here, your views ? also have you been traking a company called UNiphos enterprise (650 rs) i was going through numbers the company seems to be doing well.
Ramesh S damani : Hindustan Zinc will do well. I don't really follow Uniphos but like you I heard they are doing well.

rajesh : Sir, is it right that currently market is moving due to less selling pressure. As every body like to sell after the turnover tax implemented. My sense is that market will fall 200 300 points in a weeks time do you agree.
Ramesh S damani : That could happen, sellers have been waiting for new tax laws to be passed.

sanujkadavil : sirafter stars acqusiton , balaji B/S has cash reserves of over 225cr. market is talking out a hugedividend payout. what is your call on balaji for short term
Ramesh S damani : I would expect a nice dividend.

vikas : TATA ELXSI : At current price it is at 28 PE for 03-04 and with projected EPS 9 for this year its PE is 17 its looking expensive so why do u still like it. Is animation going to become so big that even at this price Elxsi looks good to hold as core holding
Ramesh S damani : It does. But market has an inate wisdom about these things. I think at 450 crore market cap I would hold on. Let's see the next few quarters. I could be wrong, but I have to trust my instinct.

StockLover : Mr Damani, would you please clarify this. Isn't there a 0% Long term Capital gain tax for BSE500 listed securities bought under the Vajpayee regime. Or is it out the door ?
Ramesh S damani : Ask your tax man, he would give the best advice.

we : Sir can we buy sundaram finance at Rs. 225
Ramesh S damani : Yes

Newbieatstock : Sir what makes you so bullish on sundaram finance, what are the triggers you see for the company, whats your timeframe ,i dont you've mentioned much other than its a good tax paying company,
Ramesh S damani : They have 3 subsidiaries -- insurance, asset management and home finance a small but growing BPO business.

ddrpk : sir do you think that govt is going to disinvest loss making psu ? sir can you suggest some oif them ?
Ramesh S damani : ITI, HMT Scooters India. When I don't know.

StockLover : I mean, why do you insist selling would occur only after the new laws come under effect. The new tax laws would affect only for the short term gains in a major way, is it not ?
Ramesh S damani : Long term ones.

ssree : You asked, sir the portfolio includes nalco,pfizer,neyvelli lignite,container corporation of india,raymond,tata elxsi looks for medium to long term bet after coorection u r view on this.please
Ramesh S damani : That porfolio looks good to me. Container may be getting too expensive.

StockLover : Well, I am not asking the Long term Capital gain for my specific case. I am only asking this in a broad term. Had anyone held a BSE 500 listed security for over a year (as of today) and is likely to sell it before Oct 1, the interim governments tax laws comes under effect, is it not so ?
Ramesh S damani : Then it would be tax free.
