ICICIdirect is great to subcribe for IPO's and delivery trading. for day trading it really sucks.

I operate my bros account on indiainfo/5 paisa. its fine but a bit too technical. just like your brokers terminal.


try indiabulls as anurag said. and do let us know your reviews.

happy investing

can anybody compare the comission charges for these sites like icici direct...etc...

yeah getting provogue allotment is more of a luck game now. i think it'll fetch a good premium. jindal will soon come below the higher price band. i think i made a mistake in applying to it.

wats your take on yes bank, nectar life science, MSP steel and Era Construction. i think yes bank and MSP are better among other. just my gut feeling. no research. well i'll be applying to all these issue. who know which one clicks...just like saktsoft

happy investing


Lets just keep our and hope that we do get an allotment in the provogue IPO ...i see mostly listing gains assosciated with it .

I have also applied for yes bank , MSP steel and will be applying for Nectar ...I dont think Era constructions is that impressive at rs72 , especially when it is being offered at a discount of 20 percent to its market price of rs90

In between Yes bank Ipo has already been oversubscribed 30 times ...so another game of chance

Whats ur pick among the recent IPOs ?

Happy investing and some profit booking in case we get an allotment

hi guys..

i feel yes bank will be good for longer term maybe a a year or two. provogue shud fetch a premium of 40 % atleast. MSP really no idea but since its not charging any premium anything from it will be a welcome. may be can give a good profit if kept for long. Era , yash papers and few others....i'm not subcribing feel they just cashing on IPO band wagon. well there cud be a dark horse among them.

welcome to the thread. wish u happy learning and great investing

Looking in sector specific stocks ...Biotech and Textiles ..(retailing) are definitely lucrative as of now ..


i was bullish on Biocon after its IPO, but didnt see anything happening on this script

What do you think of the Media stocks? I think stocks like NDTV and TV18 are highly overvalued. TV Today is a good buy considering it is hovering around its lowest price level and it is expected to gain the most from government's decision to allow FDI in Media companies. Also, I heard that they are planning to launch a regional news channel for Delhi and when that happens, the share will sky rocket. This is what happened with NDTV, NDTV's stock prices rose from around the level of 80 rupees to above 200 when they launched NDTV Profit. So, I think TV Today is a good bet despite its disappointing results in the recent past. What do you think guys? Any other media stock that you are bullish on?

just recently US authorities have given their nod to Aurobindo Pharma for supply of drugs against AIDS virus. News is still to find it palce in Business news channels and papers. the stock would be interesting to watch in coming days.

Even i feel that Yes bank and MSP steel wud call for holding them , rather than just selling on listing . Particularly MSP as the the share is not offered at any premium and the company is profit making , so u can expect it to give considerable returns in the future .

Among the other IPOs hitting the market i think that ILFS wud be the best among ERA , Yash papers etc ...whats ur take on this IPO ?

you talking about IL&FS; invest. its a subsidiary of IL&FS; into investment management. The parent company is fundamently very strong taken its exp in infra /finance sector.
so management must be good.

its another IPO in this business, earlier both its competetors, Indiainfoline and Indiabulls were great success. so we can expect a good response from market.
pricing of 110-125 seems on higher side. i cant actually comment on price anything as it requires a lot of research which we gonna learn in our B-schools

i just go by market response and hype. more the subcription better the chances to make money (or lower chances to lose it )

lots of issues coming, where from money wil come:wow:


any idea about provogue's basis of allotment?

yep i was talking about IL&FS; investments IPO ..seems to be good bet particularly the way India Bulls IPO has flared up from rs19 to now trading at around 160 :wow:

The markets have reached an all time high and no wonder every other company is coming out with IPOs and want to cash in on this bull run ...and particularly 2-3 IPOs at the same time compound the problem

It wud be advisable to invest in selected companies which can offer good returns ..and exit after booking profits (if u are not holding stock for long term) and invest the same in another co.

In between i think that ERA and Nectar are good among current issues ...Era is into the infrastructure business and in the construction of runways , projects etc ...and with the Central and State govts emphasising on world class infrastructure ...it seems a good bet ...also it has a good order book as of now and good financials ...

the only problem i see is the arbitrage as the stock is being offered at a discount of 20 percent to its market price . Just like the way PNB came down when the allotment was done and the way Jindal Poly films is coming down , although the allotment for it is yet to be done .

Hey , i think till now the allotment has not been done for Provogue and as such no details regarding the basis of allotment for that scrip .


Happy Investing till then

hey guys..

have been seeing the extensive posts on ipos....

well i would like to contribute my 2 cents on this...

the market situation at close to 7150 levels is by itself quite dizzying...

its basically a momentum driven rally and so the day the momentum or the liquidity dries up we will see a lot of corrective pressures setting in....

regarding the ipo s.......... the ipo s of most of the companies are either fairly valued or over valued.... in these days of all time highs for the markets... its difficult to spot an ipo which has some value in it....

have seen quite a few ipo s in the recent past which have had great over subscription numbers but failed to give good returns to the investors.....

i have a feeling that once u see the corrective phase setting ( which shall be sooner than later) u will see these ipo s providing only enough return to cover the cost of leveraging...

So my take on this issue as of now stands that.... most ipos are as of now avoidable with a very selected few which could be actively looked upon...

P.S. thee are only my views on the subject... Subject to change with market conditions

markets seem to have moved a lot but its seems dizzying because we havent been this high before. there might still be value left. But good strategy is to book partial profits and research good stocks and stories. buy them on corrections and invest long term.
I bought glenmark on the last big bull run when most ppl said its overvalued. its almost tripled since then. couple of other stocks like that. made some losses to but if you invest in good stocks you can also recover by holding longer.

Post issue the bank's capital structure would rise from Rs 4,719 crore to Rs 5,219 crore, while Government ho lding would come down from 73.5 per cent to 66.5 per cent, he said.

The bank's net NPA is pegged at 1.59 per cent, while its CAR is at 10.70 per cent. The bank has reserved 50 lakh shares for its employees, 225 lakh shares for qualified institutional buyers, 67.5 lakh shares for non-institutional buyers and the balance 157.5-lakh shares for retail investors.
