sanujkadavil : Sir-South Indian bank come out with a bad Q2 numbers. But this was expected due to treasury lossess and provisioning. At current rate stock gives a dividend yield of over 7%.(3 rs dividend expecting next year).Would you add more at these levels ??What's your call on private banks after F.M 's statement on foreign holding and acquisition.Especially the small old private banks like SIB, KTK , BANK OF PUNJAB, ETC
.

Farzana : Sir, The Times of India has bought a stake in Midday Multimedia and have offered 100 Crores to the promoters for 69 % promoters stake. Negotiations are on. If this deal goes through do you think Times be compelled to make an open offer at the same price? What do SEBI guidelines state in this regard, can you sehd some light. The price offered is almost double market valuation which is 58-60 Crores for the promoters stake.

Ramesh S damani : I think they do chemical supply logistics.
CuriousCarl : Mr.Damani, I've visited the Financial technologies web site and they don't seem to be very impressive compared to say Aztec, Four Soft, Hexaware etc. They don't seem trustworthy. I'm in the IT industry and I can judge a genuine company from a fake one. This seems more like a smoke and mirror show.
Ramesh S damani : I am not sure I would call them that. They are a young company and they have done good work. They are not cheap. But give them some rope.
