Hi,
Very informative article. I visited one more website Ask Kuber that provide long term Stock Research Recommendations. Their objective is Portfolio return should exceed broader stock market indices with lower risk than broader market in long run.
Good article.. I had this question in my mind because of which i didn't subscribe.. I should had read this article and invested 🙁
Hi , It is been good post. I watch your articles all time. I would like to understand few things here.
Prior to DRL, Justdial’s buyback was open. It was opened for hardly one or two week as I remeber. But in case of DRL here, I see it as opened buyback offer for 6 months. So, what is the sebi rules say? Is it 6 months or one or two weeks, or any no. of days as company wishes? other reason, i ask this question is, I have seen many other buyback offer whose time period varies from few weeks to months. So if you could throw some light on this issue along with sebi rule and some pointers, it would be a great for readers like me.
Thanks in advance.
I think Dr Reddy is a very well-managed company. The premium doesn’t reflect the true value and potential of the company. It has fallen greatly due to issues in US and that is only short term.
I would like to understand this, if i take part in this buy back on 18th April itself then in how many days they would tell me that my shares are bought by them. As this buy back is open for 6 months so would they wait for this complete 6 month to convey?
buy back is open for 6 months, however the cut-off for this time it would be within 2 weeks. Means if they get oversubscribed, they would close in this session of 2 weeks. Else they would re-open for one more time within 6 months to complete this buy back. I feel it is rare case this would go to second session. It would get oversubscribed now itself
Thats a great buyback offer but it is yet to catch the fancy of retail investors. Moreover with the bulls in charge you will earn much more on mid cap stocks who are riding a wave. ‘
