ritu : today I bought some 2000 vintage cards around 13. should I hold onto them or just sell and get out of the counter? I know little abt the company. pls. help!
Ramesh Damani : Nothing to panic. However, I am unclear about its future prospects.

ksbsuresh : I have read "One up on wall read" as per your suggestion. It was very informative. Can you suggest few more books?

Ramesh Damani : Thanks. Sometimes it is hard, but generally that is the best way to perform.

salman : Market came down heavily any specific reason or only correction
Ramesh Damani : Looks like a correction.

ajit : sir. Sesa Goa: I am buying since it has come down to Rs 65/ same is the story with E-serve. I can get your view on E-serve but Sesa Goa is an intresting story. It moves with steel cycle/good management/positive cash flow etc. Your view?
Ramesh Damani : Who is the management? Also rupee is going to start appreciating.

ksbsuresh : Sir, I feel highest tax rate should be 25% for salaried people, so that they will have some additional disposable income which may be invested in stocks?
Ramesh Damani : I would agree to that.

Ramesh Damani : Wait for a correction. Thanks all for joining.See you next week.

sd : the final advice :your tips on multibaggers are long overdue.... toady u seem to be in good mood answering all my queries. pls oblige with the last one
Ramesh Damani : McDowell after the new news and Tata Honeywell are exciting.

abc : in the long run kindly tell me 5 script to watch i think you will not disappoint me
Ramesh Damani : Mcdowell, E-serve, Geometric and Indian Hotels. I own all.

TIGER : I think by say that they ( govt ) will disinvest in PSU is making fool all of us and the statment is due to shap critism from all corners--- Mr. Shourie said all is depand now on PM & DPM- if only PM & DPM has to take the all decesion that whay we have a long list of minetsers who are eating tax payers money.
Ramesh Damani : Politicians will be politicians.
