  1. Not very sure whether some one should subscribe to a ‘BBB-Stable’ rated company, especially, when the imminent threat of recession in US, Eurozone and other large economic blocks is there. India, in general, may remain unscathed from this threat, but, huge and challenging concern would be there for the economy.
