HDFC Standard Life Insurance Company Ltd IPO Message Board (Page 34)

Apploid...and also Apploid the upcoming Bharat 22,...i''m sure, like HDFC, they too would leave quite a lot on the table for the retail investors...
It''s actually a neck and neck race between HDFC and Bharat 22 promoters to lift the generosity trophy...but i suspect Bharat 22 promoters might clinch it, although by a thin margin. .

Apply & Avoid ,????

If you seriously want to participate in IPO then do not bid at price lower than 290

It is waste of time if you apply at lower level

Unnecessary blocking of money if applied below cut off.
Chances of discovered price below cut off is very low, even if quota not fully subscribed.

Technically speaking shares are allotted at Cutoff price so any application below Cutoff price is never allotted any share.

Ok implications of applying at Cutoff :- the retail investor surrenders his rights under the book building process and in return get to right to get shares allotted at what ever the price decided based upon the price bid by other applicants.

It''s a good bargain for retail investors to apply at Cutoff.

U can sell v have no problem.
Permission granted.

Your application will be rejected in such cases.

Thank you. So if I apply for both shareholder and regular quota. Will both of them get rejected?

If you apply using same demat account or different demat accounts linked to same PAN under shareholder and retail category, both applications will be rejected.

You can apply in both category retail and shareholder. Both bids will be valid.

Shareholder bid will be rejected if you had purchased hdfc share after cut off.

Dont thinks any incentive given to brokerage house by merchats nowadays

No one to blame if giving free advice, kam ka hai to pakdo vrna ignore,
Just they have to mention at what level they can buy for long term as septa sir mentioned 220type.
Otherwise what''s meaning of research, everyone knows potential of hdfc in long term

It should be the decision of investor on which level he should invest, as everyone knows valuation is streached.
It may/maynot be available on price what one should think, no one can guess the exact top or bottom.
If anyone invests for longterm, he always known to be ups & downs of the stock & stock market.

For long term bet on good stock some streached valuation may not be that kind of importance.
consider the example of Dmart (Not comparing stock with HDFC Life)
IPO price - 299
listed @ 604 ------------------ (21-Mar-17)
all time high - 1289 --------- (13-oct-17)
current price - 1100

still investors are ready to buy above 1000 (within 8 months, can anyone really justify this price?)
Its all game of market centiments & demand/supply.

Hmm, rightly said valuation doesn''t matter if u have below affirmative combo!!
game + quality + growth + type of buyer/seller + mkt conditions

Dear PM! Very valid point...
