Hi Suresh,
What is your take on the listing gains, will this IPO gets boom upon listing or will it be an ordinary one.
Difficult to comment. This would go based on over subscriptions (x number of times) and the sentiments on the listing day.
Hi,
Why is the GMP so low, its been reducing each day. The financials don’t look bad. So what’s behind this low buzz? Also is the promoter holding a cause of concern? Is it worth going for it ?
Rahul, It is unorganised market and limited tradings might happen before listing. This is just an indication as to how the price movement is happening in offline market.
Hi Suresh,
I am new to the trading/investment market so as a beginner from where should I start my investing journey.
Are IPO’S an safe option?
Should I go for intraday or delivery?
If you are a beginner, I would recommend you to observe how stock market is running. IPOs are very high risk, however can give high returns. Picking up stocks for Intraday could be a challenge. Pls go through some of our articles on stock market section and understand how these are working. Once you get good understanding about it, you can start experimenting by considering a trade in respective segment. If you are comfortable, you can continue, else switch to another segment (like intraday or delivery or IPOs etc.,)
Hi Suresh,
I am new to stock market and IPO. After reading your blog with the detailed analysis I want to go for Glen Mark Life Sciences. Please let me know if I can go for long term let us say for 3 years?
Hello Mohan, 3 Years is not long term. It is short to medium term. You can invest for long term of say 5+ years.
Good Pedigree. Valuations are attractive.A “must subscribe” issue.
