Market Crash

Posted in Thoughts; Gyan; Fun |

20 yrs ago, I sold 50 shares to buy a new 88 model ambassador, Last week also, I sold 50 shares of the same company & again bought a 88 model ambassador, “MARKET IS STABLE”

After the stock market crashed, an investor was asked if he was a bull or a bear.
“Actually”, he replied, ” I’m an Ass.”

Any idea where we can find Lehman Sisters?
Why…?
Got to do to them, what d brothers did to us.

International stock markets are responding to rate cuts like men do to Viagra.One or two hours up & then back to limp.

They told me to invest in stocks for my old age.
I did and it worked wonderfully…
Within a week i started looking like an old man…

If Gandhiji had invested in stock mkt ? There would have been 4th monkey having his hands on his ASS.

From an investor,on the current market situation “This is worse than a divorce; I have lost half of my networth…and I still have a wife!”

How does the Stock Market Work????

Posted in Thoughts; Gyan; Fun |

Everyone has their own opinion on how does the stock market work. This is a one from Arun Bhatnager

A cold winter!

It was autumn, and the Red Indians asked their New Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was a Red Indian chief in a modern society, he couldn’t tell what the weather was going to be. Read the rest of this entry »

Gujarat Retail - A tale by itself

Posted in Consumer & CRM, Marketing, Retail |

2005/06 - Baroda, Ahmedabad, Surat, - New Destinations, money to burn, places to acquire, malls to be built.

2008 - Malls ready, high rentals, brands occupying, supposedly great footfalls BUT no conversion. And some have changed hands, closed so on & forth.

WHY? WHY? WHY? Read the rest of this entry »

Baroda to Mumbai - Sataphdi Express 14th October

Posted in Travel |

The return trip was extremely eventful to say the least.

Carrying a WL (wait list) ticket, reached the station early! Having been ordered to carry a lot a of stuff back…..had two large bags along. Negotiating with the coolie was smooth (probably because I agreed to his demands).

Went to the center to check on the ticket confirmation, since the lists were not visible anywhere. Pushing through the crowd, managed to ask, nay shout my query in gujarati, promptly came the reply in English (think this is the NRI hangover), handed over the printout & was informed C1- 64.

With coolie, bags in tow walked to the end of the station. The train pulled in right on time….and our man rushed in with the two bags. A thought at the back of my mind resurged, so looked for the list on the door, but of course there was none! The pantry attendants cheerfully told me that the lists were on the other side, since at Ahmadabad the platform was on the other side….No matter that at Baroda & all subsequent stations it was a different side.

How Indians would have saved Lehman Brothers………….

Posted in Musings |


Happened to run in to Nanubhai on Dalal Street . He was eating Khaman Dhokla  at a farsan shop.
“Kame cho, Nanubhai?”
“Saru che.”
He was looking glum but gestured me to join him.
Nanubhai is a well-respected Dalal Street dada with an answer to every shareholder’s query.
