  3. Dear Amit

    I think your comment is about Cairn India . In my opinion, Govt may insist some extra covenants on cairn while giving permission for the takeover of cairn by vedanta .So better to wait for a clarity in this matter. If a change of management is possible without any extra conditions ,it is really a good BUY

  6. Nice post. Its always better to think before investing money in stock market. Investment should be done in share market but with the aim to increase our funds so speculation should not be the mode of investment. Investors should know why they are investing money in any stock.
