Firstly let me tell you that I really liked the ticker that goes at the bottom of your post. In the markets we need to worship the Bad forces (operators) with the good forces (investors) -rahu ketu etc.

 
I would not back Zee as an investment candidate the management says that it would do a lot of things cable through SitiCable, DTH through DIsh TV, Zee is already the number 1 channel but a bad management can ruin a great concept and vice versa.
 
However I am told that SUbhas Chandra has agreed to change his ways after all Mc- Dowell was also a bad management stock.
 
In case that is correct then ZEE could go very high up. Chandra has been known for his implementing skills and this time also it could be different.

First of all basant jee, thank you so much that you liked my signature. Yes, Ketu, Rahu and Shani should be worshipped as they can really mess up a person's life. And thanks very much for your info. on Zee.

 
Placing a bet on a high-risk:high-return stock is okay to me, but at least I should know that the top brass of the compan is willing to do it all for growing the company, I mean kill themselves to make a killing in the market. That is why I like Pantaloon. Even though it may fail, I am confident of it and am going to buy it bcoz biyani jee comes in public and declares that "we are going to have a turnover of 15 times of current turnover in next 4 years". Can chandra say the same or something of that sort(whatever target he has set in mind). The management should be hungry and should have a killer instinct. Once I see that, then I do the analysis of what they can realistically achieve. In case of Zee, Chandra jee doesnt bring out that confidence in me.
 
 
It would be perfect for me, if Chandra comes out and says: "OK, now in the next 4 years we are going to increase our turnover by 5 times" or "we shall reach this target by 2010". Let's see if Chandra jee can go public with his target! That is the real TEST! I would love to see him do that!
 
 
Thanks again for your help basant jee!

Absolutely I agree 100% Chandra cannot and rather wil not. it is a case of a man's confidence. Biyani could have declared anything 3 years ago and got away with it no one would have bothered to check whether he achieved what he said or not but today he can take shelter in his laurells and step aside from making those predictions and speak only for the next year because if he goes along and fails the whole of the Indian Media print and electronic will have a lot of work to do.. But if he achieves  it then also they will have a lot of work to do,

Agree sir.
 
Infrastructure seems to be thrust area for Indian economy to grow big. But L&T has moved up too much. I see Retail(Pantaloon), Media(TV18) as next growth areas. I am sure people like RJ may have already identified the next growth area even beyond the Retailing part. If we could somehow know that, we could get at least one stock which gives the same returns as RJ gets from his stocks!

Thanks Basant, made use of the crash yesterday and got into TV18 when
it went down 7%. Just bought an initial investment, 25% of my planned
investment. Will continue to track and but it on dips.

Mr. Basant: can you suggest what part of TV18 one should hold/add to after the split up?
