I AM A SOFTWARE ENGG WORKING IN MUMBAI AND DO NOT TRADE AT ALL AND ALL THE SCRIPS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT FOR INVESTMENT. I WAS THINKING OF GODREJ INDUSTRIES BUT WOULD REALLY LIKE TO FOLLOW UR ADVICE.

Ramesh S Damani : I think your portfolio is good and you can certainly add Godrej Ind.

pawan_delhi : sir do you think that tcs is a buy at 1020 target 1150 december ? please comment
Ramesh S Damani : I think it is an attractive investment.

baracuda : are yu going to apply for the united breweries rocd issue, please advice yu said yu will discuss this today in yuor last chat
Ramesh S Damani : Unfortunately I have not finished reading the prospectus. It is too huge and complicated. I am not able to offer a comprehensive view.

pawan_delhi : sir you made a statement that markets will go 6200 by march 2005 ? sir do you think that the stocks will achieve the value they had in senses at 6000 previously ?
Ramesh S Damani : Obviosuly the majority of Sensex stocks will have to.

HelloDamani : I REMEMBER SEEING SOMEWHERE IN UR CHAT TRANSCIPTS THAT GODREJ INDUSTRIES HAS THE POTENTIAL TO REACH 150 IN THE YEARS TO COME .... IS IT RIGHT SIR OR SOME OF MY ILLUSIONS?
Ramesh S Damani : I believe it can.

vikas : there is a company by name of MICRO TECH which has developed BLACK BOX for car security . Any idea . Stock has jumped from 20 to 40
Ramesh S Damani : Keep an eye on it. Still a young and speculative company.

kcs : SIR , ARE THERE ANY SCRIPS IN THE BREAKOUT STAGE WHICH ARE KNOWN TO YOU . IF YES, CAN U PLEASE GIVE ONEtHANKS DEEPAK m
Ramesh S Damani : Honeywell, which I own, has just made a 52 week high.

DeepakM : Would you say Honeywell still has steam left ???
Ramesh S Damani : It should cross its 52 week high.

ushav : SIR YOUR OPINION ON SPANCO TELESYSTEMS. THEY HAVE 2500 EMPLOYEES IN THE BPO SETUP AND CATER MAINLY TO THE INDIAN LOCAL MARKET; IN FACT THEY ARE THE MARKET LEADERS
Ramesh S Damani : You are right, I just don't know about management ability.

Prabhu : sir, Arvind Products, is it a textile script ?
Ramesh S Damani : Yes.

SUDHIR : SIR WHAT ABOUT MACMILLAN , IT IS STILL LANGUISHING AT 340/- LEVELS WITHOUT VOLUME
Ramesh S Damani : It is, though technically, it is looking good.

HelloDamani : ONE CURIOUS QUESTION SIR, HOW MUCH PERCENTAGE OF UR PORTFOLIO HAVE U ALLOTTED TO MCDOWELL?
Ramesh S Damani : I am entitled to some privacy? It is more than 1% at this time.

Amit : Arvind products : what are they into ? How is CENTURY TEXTILE , they have cement dicison also which is performing well
Ramesh S Damani : Textile company of the Arvind group.

mariamaria : regarding ub yu are correct it is too huge and confusing the prospectus never made sense to me hence i asked yu
Ramesh S Damani : Just remember that the company m-cap is around Rs 120 crs. That can't be fair value for a company that owns 40% of the beer market.

blues : i am holding 500 Max.Should i tender or hold? is there a chance it can appreciate further?
Ramesh S Damani : I would tender if I am looking at 6 months horizon.

newbieatcsock : arvind products whats the invetment rationale,there were rumors earlier the company would be merged with arvind mills, have you see atul products
Ramesh S Damani : Just a small bet to begin with. They are getting ready to export ready made garments post 2005.

chandani : sir TATA TELECOM i tendered at 220/in buy back and it soared to 365 should i enter at this stage again for any upside??
Ramesh S Damani : I would not chase the stock.

baracuda : have yu read the ub holding annual report mallya seems very optimistic that value will be unlocked and ther is no doubt that there is a lot of valuable items in that co the only thing that may not be of much value may be mallya himself
Ramesh S Damani : Unfortunately.

blues : Thanks for reply my question.Is Mcdowell oone of the scrips which may get affected in the first 2 weeks?

anaam : Sir, As per your reco I have bought Simplex Concrete...@ rs 89..Is it still a hold or sell???????
Ramesh S Damani : It has had a good run up, so unless you plan to hold 2-3 yrs, book some profit.

Ramesh S Damani : Start by reading 4 hrs a day.

newbieatcsock : sir i read the ub prospectus, the numbers about the ariline travel was interesting, do you think ub has made the right decision though.

Ramesh S Damani : iIt is but it is more ill-liquid.
