  2. Dear Neeraj Sharma

    Alchemist is a mysterious company,difficult to believe many of their claims and management is not interest to answer for any queries.Not enough confidence to recommend but chances of price rigging can't be ruled out.

  3. Dear Sir,

    I was a new investor a year back. I invested in couple of stocks you recommended in the past and made good returns. I want to book profits. Do I need to pay capital gains tax on each stock or the overall portfolio and where and how to pay the capital gains tax.

    Please explain.

    Thanks,
    Nivedita Naidu

    1. Dear Valuepick,

      I could not understand the logic of recommending MCX. Normally if company require money to expand they go for IPO. In this case this is not happening, some promotors are selling their stake. At any rate they have much better information then us about MCX. Why a promotor should sell their stake, if it is a good stock for long term. Is there any rationale that you have considered?

    2. Dear Sandeep

      What is wrong in taking profit ?.A trade takes place only when there is two sets of people one pessimist and one with optimism.Many Big investors bought shares as Anchor investors , can we say they are fools and the selling people is only wise ? .If that is the logic , what about the public issues of many PSU companies where govt is selling their stakes.?

    3. Dear Valuepick,

      Govt sell their stake to raise money to invest in business that give better return. They require these funds for achieving their Fiscal deficit targets too. I think it was the case of sheer optimism that IPO was subscribed 54x. Do not you think companies can take the advantage of such optimism to sell their stake.
      My point was if one promoter such as financial technologies know much about MCX and its future prospects. Why would they sell their stake, if they know that this is still going to give good return.
