These issues will be discussed in the next weeks's Sunday Report to the Paid Groups!! When Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway invested $5 billion in Goldman Sachs, it came as a major surprise.

Firms bet on emerging markets in economic downturn By Ben Hirschler and Georgina Prodhan It is good to see Sha*kar Sh**ma using my language to describe the markets. Media companies need these kinds of controversial persons to make millions LONDON - Companies remain determinedly bullish about prospects in emerging markets, despite recent market turmoil which has savaged developing stock markets, a survey said on Tuesday. Emerging stocks have lost about a third of their value this year, reflecting investor aversion to risky markets particularly amid recent turmoil, and with worries a developed world slowdown will hurt previously meteoric economic growth rates in countries such as China. But 87 percent of executives operating within emerging markets are optimistic about company revenues over the next two years and just 3 percent are pessimistic.

WINNING STROKES: THINK DIFFERENT : In today's morning report to the Paid Groups the following message about Reliance Industries Ltd was sent: RIL, the country's largest company by market capitalisation, is planning to spend an additional Rs 10,000 crore to produce natural gas from discoveries that were not a part of the original development plan in the Krishna-Godavari (KG) basin.

Those who have shorted RIL would have to pay a heavy price going forward. Because any rise in crude prices will be positive for the Relian...

Winning Strokes: Think Different: [Updated] Yesterday I asked the risk taking investors of my Paid Groups to buy scrips or keep accmulating--this time also I am correct to the lees. In today's morning mail, it was mentioned that some activities could be seen in the Reliance Industries Ltd due to the new developments in the company and Infosys Tech could get new orders from Bank of America---both the scrips zoomed today. It was further mentioned in my morning newsletter to the Paid Groups, that this new development in Reliance Industries Ltd could pull up the other Reliance Group companies and the same thing happened.
