Check this article: www.thehindubusinessli.... Quote "The idea of separation of ownership and management that is an essential feature of the corporate form of organisation has never seriously appealed to Indian businessmen. The Indian listed company has been, for the most part, a glorified family enterprise that tolerated outside investors at best and looted them in the worst case. Companies such as Infosys are rare exceptions to this rule.".

One another thing that I don't like about Indian companies is congolomerate model - many large companies want to be in all businesses. ]]> Sat, 10 Jan 2009 08:50:08 -0500

Could you care to comment about the selection of 50 day moving average and 1 standard deviation? Is this same as Bollinger Band? I thought Bollinger Band standard was 20 day moving average and 2 standard deviation. Is there any reason why the bollinger band setting is different for ETF? Thanks!]]> Thu, 04 Oct 2007 00:16:41 -0400
