this is how some of the conversations go…

“Hello Subra…I think you should buy….X….a good Nbfc”

Me: Sure, kuch kahani bol na

Broker: kuch khaas nahi….balance sheet dekh na…

Me: (after 2 hours) boss, dekha, does not look good. Fund costs kuch jyada nahi hai?

Broker: Subra you should not have left Mumbai to settle in a village

Me: aisa kya hua bhai?

Broker: Cost of funds high hai to kya hua?

Me: Oh you mean cost of funds kam hone wala hai?

Broker: Now your tube light is working

Broker: kay bhav? ab 1 hai…10 leke jaane walein hai

Me: Baap re. Bada capital hai is it easy?

Broker: sir aajkal bahut logon ke paas bahut paisa hai

Me: Lekin koi bada fund haath nahi lagayega na?

Broker: aam kha gutli math gin

Me: this is too much

Broker: aam kha, gutli math gin

Me: if the music stops, I will be left holding the share…dar lag raha hai..

Broker: Sure, there could be a problem, but MF tie up ho gaya hai for placement at 3…baad mein 7 ho jayega

Me: you want to let the MF make so much money?

B: karna padega yaar…nahi to aage kaam nahi karenge..

Me: sach bol kitna hai..kitna chagaoge?

B: aam kha, gutli mat gin

Me: Fund house ka naam to bata

B: aam kha, gutli mat gin…

at the end of the talk I did not buy the 3 Nbfcs that he recommended.

One is up 2 times, one is up much more, the third one is up a multiple number, much more.

I missed the bus of course.

I bought shares of Cholamandalam 🙂 not bad, but not as high as the others.

Chalo at least I sleep soundly.
