I guess most of the doctors & lawyers will agree with me that, most of the cases we come across while practicing our profession are a challenge in themselves. The practical world is quite different from the theoretical stuff that we study. Though we may have done n number of case studies while preparing our exams but real life cases have their own dynamics & difficulties, because they are not just about passing an exam but about saving somebody’s life or money!

Application Supported By Blocked Amount
Have there been times when you wanted to subscribe for an Initial Public Offer (IPO) but hesitated because you couldn’t afford to lock-in so much money for extended period? Apart from your money being frozen, you are seldom assured of full allotment of shares.
There have been many instances over 2007 and 2008 when investors could not get any allotment in an IPO. In such instances, the dejection only increases. The ASBA or Application Support Blocked Amount process introduced by SEBI in 2008 can lessen investors’ anxiety to a great extent.

Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right!!!!

In the outcome of back-to-back holidays, eventful family gatherings & year-end celebrations & generally, too much food, there emerges the New Year’s Day & along with New Year comes the renowned NEW YEAR RESOLUTION! I am sure many people can’t wait until they can attempt to make a new start, reverse all the wrong doings and become a better person.
Every year millions, if not billions of people make new years resolutions, something they plan to do in the New Year and hopefully stick at forever!!!! It’s common practice for people to evaluate their lives at this point, and to consider what they can do to make the coming year their best yet. Why shouldn’t one apply that same thinking to his investments esp. in stock markets?
