Ramesh S Damani : I can't guide on individual purchase/sell decision.
mansri : SBI remains the cheapest stock in the large caps. The stock trades at a P/E multiple of 5.5 times of its FY05 estimated earnings of Rs.90 (consolidated could be anywhere between 120-125). It seems all negatives like rise in interest rates etc are factored in the price. But the positives like economic uptrend in the country, consolidation, planned overseas acquisitions, more FII inflows (definitely they like to own this stock when the FII cap is removed) have yet to be factored in. Why then the domestic funds/investors are not bullish on this stock? Am I missing something? Pl comment. Thanks!
Ramesh S Damani : It will be patient. Unfortunately FIIs cannot buy it. If they could then the stock could be much higher.
ak : Ramesh, within technology, which areas do you think have a bright future - RFID, broadband, animation? Your picks in these niche areas.
Ramesh S Damani : I think all 3 are promising including.

Ramesh S Damani : Look at the value of Blue Dart. I have no idea about the rights issue.
SUDHIR : sir what about datamatics. is it comparable with macmillan. out of the 2 which one or both would you suggest for investment
Ramesh S Damani : I prefer Macmillan (I own it). I would buy datamatics at lower levels.
mariasharapova : due to a shortage of coal coal india is exavating more a direct beneficiary of this will be beml it also has an order to execute 6 pontoon bridges for the army at a cost of 60crs each,the rail carriage div is growing although metro rail contrbutes only 1% of turnover,so at a market cap of 900 crs are yu still bullish
