Me too applied. Lets see how many I get!
And yeah, I just read few days before in newspaper that software companies will be benefited by the subprime in U.S.
This Infy is not giving great returns as it used to sometime back. So lets hope it does this time!

:) sorry guys I meant part payment..
But some say that it is not better to buy in part payment because.. if the allocated shares are more than wat we have paid then we will ave to pay the money..but the pblm is it will take 2/3 weeks for the payment and within this period it is said that the price will come down....

But i think the chances are less

When the condition of IPO demands only Part Payment, such requests with "complete payment" would not be entertained- tell your friends they would be refunded all monies due to them within 3 weeks.


.....because.. if the allocated shares are more than wat we have paid then we will ave to pay the money..but the pblm is it will take 2/3 weeks for the payment and within this period it is said that the price will come down....


Sorry but I don't think you wud get MORE SHARES THAN YOU APPLIED FOR. Infact I don't think if anyone wud be allotted more than one or two lots each, having regard to the rate of oversubscription. The excess amount of investor's payment would be adjusted against the purchase consideration of the shares allotted. Refund cases would be dealth with soon.

JFYI- most of the mutual funds are not focussing on this Reliance Power IPO, because it is considered that Reliance's Price Band is hugely inflated. It is not able to sustain the level of desired profits too.

Jan 19, 2008 at 3:58 PM
Anyone who has applied for a full lot (15 lots) irrepective of full payment or part payment is almost sure to get atleast 1 lot, as the retails oversubscription in 14.8 times.

Even i have applied for it.

Its not necessary. It's very possible that most ppl wud get a refund. Let's see what Reliance Power has in store.
And I didn't quite get this 10k+ wala thing.

I don't exactly analyse, but I keep my eyes open and see how a particular news affects the pricing and all.. And what are the calls and puts for a stock. I agree stocks are good for earning quickly but man how does a "student" get that kinda money to put in the stock markets - I won't risk parent's money.

I too feel the same because pre-launch to the IPO news, analysts on Zee Business had expected the share to be less than Rs. 100. I was shcoked when I heard later that the price band is Rs. 405 to Rs. 465 :(

One thing i ve learnt is all this analysis works only in long term investments. The FIIs r controlling the market. Sab matke pe chal raha hai.
Also just check the p/e ratio of rnrl and rpl. 200+ and infinity.. log khali reliance ka naam dekh ke le lete hai.

Because many people invest to earn profit.
It does not matter whether it comes from Reliance, Tata, HDFC, etc!
Whoever will earn profits, traders flock to them!

Still, day trading is risky. And unpredictable.
There's a theory in CA Final which I wanna share here. There were two guys from England in the 1900s or so. They propounded a theory and a formula too for "Earning profits using futures" - it was supposed to be a full-proof formula, guaranteeing profits always. They were awarded the Noble prize for the same.
Now these guys, very sure, opened up an Investment Co. - and were bankrupt within just 2 weeks.

I did not apply, rather now i will now invest in NTPC, which has lost around 10%, and make as much money as one would with the Reliance Power. Does not make much sense to block money for a month or so, what i have heard is this ipo is very risky and has a long gestation period for the project to begin. at the time of RPL i had invested for full 1 lakh and got around 6k worth of shares which i sold at around the same amount after 3 months, did not make any money. i am waiting for the shares to list and crash to buy.

Moeover, if the Reliance Power share price starts appreciating, many people will sell it off and we can then buy from secondary market. Instead of blocking money, it makes some sense to buy a share when it dips!

its already crashing .........

i dont understand any thing abt shares & its market .......

just 1 point : THING that goes UP .... has 2 COME DOWN ......


can any1 explain in simple lang. abt shares & its working ?
Read economic times, watch business TV channels, read for activities of overseas giants and finally use some commonsense. You will make atleast some profit!

For eg: Adlabs whose share proce saw a surge could be related to the news that in the past 12-13 months, he acquired about 250 theatres in US.!

Boys. When's the last date to apply? I knew about this but was too lazy to get my azz out of the house. Wanna put in some cash.

From what I hear, you buy the share at Rs. 450, and when the thing opens, it's at Rs. 700.

@rohan: Why did you cancel out? Any specific reason?

Man Reliance Power would have tanked if it were to list today, RIL was 13-14% down as soon as BSE opened. It was funny look Udayan react to the markets in the morning.

@enticer: i just asked coz you said you audited; i kind of thought you meant analyzed, so I asked. why on earth i would go to delhi to beat you? if i were to go i would have gone to the autoexpo.

yes i am ca too....
Ok i am lying i am a 3/4th ca only i have the 2nd group in final to complete since ages.

this is a good time to buy; but only and only the bluchips. man most of the midcaps are 30-40% down... scared the hell out of me. i guess MFs are best way to invest now, as pundits say they don't know if the market has found the bottom yet. may i ask mine if it works?

I don't know what is going to happen tomorrow; the nasdaq and the dow are still down even after the rate cut which was supposed to make them see the green. only ftse closed in green. tokyo closed 8% down so we were not that bad at the end.

Hmmm... anyone who have applied for less than 225 hares will be rejected. By the how much was the initial offering?

@ goobi-
They'll return the money back if they reject any application. So almost no loss for us. Now if we bought a single share for 1k, then I'm sure it'll be off to a flying start in the first day itself. If it lists at say 1.5k..you do the math. So that's the money here.
