It seems every time you hear the phrase "Boy Genius" in Wall St you should be thinking at the least "We shall see" and at the worst "Fraud"

In recent memory,the FED started tightening on 30 June 2004,hiked rates 17 times till the rate was 5.25% and the cycle lasted 25 months i.e. till July end 2006
How did the Indian markets fare in this period?
The Nifty went from 1505.6 on 30 June 2004 to 3143.2 on 31 July 2006 i.e. it doubled.
7 out of 11
Today the IPO offer for Narayana Hrudayalaya opens.
The merchant bankers to the offer are Axis Capital,IDFC Securities and Jefferies.
I found this risk to investors mentioned in the offer document as hilarious:
“The 3 Merchant Bankers associated with the Offer have handled 11 public issues in the past three years,out of which 7 issues closed below the issue price on listing date.”
How comforting.
