India Equity Show

Sponsored by myiris.com and icicidirect, the Indian Equity Show was the conglomeration of some of the best minds of the Indian capital market to provide the retail investor with some insights into the world of investing.

Travelling close to 40 kms up and down with only 20 bucks in my pocket was a feat I achieved today. Well! I stopped by an ATM on my way back, but lets pretend it never happened.

The Indian story, our economy, the transformation of the capital markets in the last decade, the services offered to the retail investor, products in the market, investing strategies.... we had it all. Got to listen to some of the honchos of the industry.

On a totally different note, I dig women in black, body hugging trousers.

They talked about the indian economy and its expected growth rate over the years to come, the sectoral overviews, the regulatory environment which makes a lot of sense if you want to put your money in the markets. I was happy to hear that the Indian economy is not in such a bad state as I thought it was. In fact it turns out that we are doing pretty good. Except ofcourse for the fiscal+revenue deficit part.

No! I think I like women in black pin striped, body hugging trousers.

Coming to the point. I also made contact with some good brokers who were offering very innovative trading products. Gave them my card, in the hope that I should be able to get a good offer, considering the fact that I'm a regular trader in the market.

Ok! lets finish off where I started. I just couldn't stop ogling at this woman who was at the equity show. She wore black pin striped, body hugging trousers and she had a ray ban sun glass hooked on to her white half sleeved shirt right where it cleaved up to expose her beautiful neck. She had a calm i-think-i-know-what-i-am-doing-in-life kinda look on her face and with her hair taken back and let loose, boy! I just refused to pick up my jaw.

Back to some boring stuff. My feeling after the show - depressed. I just hate the feeling when I'm around people who are doing the job which I would love to do, but then I'm not doing it because I'm not yet good enough for it yet. Its soooo frustrating!!! I have decided that unless I get invited to a show I'm not going to visit any of those kind. Na, Na!

By the way, the Nehru centre where the event was organised is a swell place to be in. Got to plan an excursion to that place sometime pretty soon.
