Ramesh Shrichand Damani : Over a period of time. They are good values now.


kelly : wat is your take on the reliance share? do you think that the reliance's annoucement yesterday about the textile restructuring will have any impact?
Ramesh Shrichand Damani : I was surprised by the announcement. They are becoming a new economy coming and over time it will not be important

kelly : why do you think that mid-day stock got hammered so badly?
Ramesh Shrichand Damani : Take a look at all Media stocks.They are getting hammered. market is a bit irrational sometimes

Ramesh Shrichand Damani : Maybe for 3-5 years. One may be too small

ak : MR. DAMANI, ARE WE LOOKING AT SENSEX OF 2700 IN ABOUT A MONTHS TIME?
Ramesh Shrichand Damani : I doubt it. Market should not fall so steeply. However we may have poor volumes and lack of interest. 2800 is the doomsday scenario

sisodia : Dear Mr Damani , I have been hearing from market sources that this One Mr Ketan parekh is responsible for the century finance scandal too is that correct ?
Ramesh Shrichand Damani : I do not believe that is accurate. Century had its internal problems

ak : WHAT IS THE DIFF BETWEEN SEBI AND SEC OF USA. PEOPLE SHUDDER TO HEAR ABOUT SEC BUT SEBI IS TAKEN FOR A RIDE. WHY?
Ramesh Shrichand Damani : Similar functions. In India the regulatory env is not strict and fair as it is in the US. Law and public policy is more transparent. Also SEC was headed by a market player Arthur Levitt

Ramesh Shrichand Damani : I think an owner's stock is being liquidated to pay other dues

amitsmathur : Mr. Damani do you think Mr. Rathi would do something as naive as talking from the BSE line when he knew that the line was under surveillance
Ramesh Shrichand Damani : Correct. If you want secret info you are not going to talk in a roomful of 10 people. Still the mistake was to talk. I doubt if the insider trading charge sticks

mahesh : Mr. Damani don't u think that our market is very attractive at the moment if u see our GDP is growing at around 6% which is very high if compared to most of the developed countries and can go up even further if the correct reforms are taken. so this dip should be considered as an good opportunity to buy into
Ramesh Shrichand Damani : Very mature observation. However I seriously doubt that second generation reforms take place in this country
