General Insurance Corporation of India IPO Message Board (Page 11)

anybody have opinion on this

A good indicator .....it will rebound ...When PSBs are booming ...Public Sector Insurers can''t be left behind for long ...!

3% gain in 10 days = 108% annual returns... Doesn''t really sound bad... Does it?

3% gain in 10 days is not equal to 108% annual returns because it is not really that simple as pure multiplication because of associated risk. You may chose to ignore the risk at your own peril.

If you cannot take even this moderate risk , then market is not for you. please stay with FD
Stock market is not risk free investment. in this , you need to take calculated risk , here and there.

Thanks Super Trader for your super advice.

I have been in Stock Market investments for last 20 years but will still learn from you if you can justify why just 3% return on a large investment of 2 lacs is worth taking and what happens if (god forbid) 2 lacs investment doesn''t provide immediate exit with acceptable gain.

I am not saying if this IPO will provide immediate exit or not. It is not an individual call but I am looking for justification for investment which helps everyone.

IMO whoever ignores to balance risk vs return in stock market will have a tough time.

Thanks cool... nobody ignores to balance risk vs return in stock market.

I also in the market for the past 15 years, came out successfully from 2008 crash.

As i told already, It is a calculated risk i took , having the cushion of 5% and firm allotment and LIC factor. (Made handsome money in arbitrage trading with calculated risk)

If you need 100% fool proof trade/investment , sorry it is possible only with FD (that also limited to 1L protection)

So your reason for justifying investment with possible 3% return is the 5% discount given to retail and because LIC bailed out a public sector issue.

Thanks a lot for this insight and also enlightening me with the information that FD is fool proof.

Congratulation on your new investment and best wishes for good listing.

Thanks cool.. continue your risk free investment ideas in stock market .
I continue my own.
At the end of the day profit/ROI matters, i feel.
