re: SME Exchange - unviable?

Infact MSE can now act as an SME Exchange. The recent agreement between MSE and NSE provides that the companies listed on MSE can now be traded on NSE. Hence MSE can now list more number of MSME's on its platform. Vivek Karwa (+91)98-405-405-75

I cannot agree more...Though we should not import the short-term American philosophy...we can certainly take a leaf out of SEC filings which I believe are more comprehensive

I think such steps go long way in establishing credibility of a regulator in being proactive and willing to learn!

yes Krishna,I agree with you.Working in ICICI was a nightmare.I realised that company only cares about growing without caring about customer satisfaction and employee satisfaction.The way company is growing without caring for the customers neither the employee,m sure it will take a major hit .For ICICI only the numbers matter without caring about client.After leaving ICICI i have withdrawn all accounts of my family and friends to SBI.I suggest others to do the same.

re: ICICI claims to be an Indian bank

Bhuvnesh Chaturvedi — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:17:01 GMT

Key Strategic Sectors like FMCG, Insurance, Banking, Infrastructure, Telecommunication, Information Technology, Energy, Automobile and more all have more than 50% direct or indirect foreign shareholdings. Anyone can simply check it from BSE/NSE data filed by companies. Even if the shareholding is just 10 percent the Shareholderrs Agreement gives virtual control to foreigners. Most of the products people use daily are produced by companies having significant foreign shareholding. It may be good for some people but there may be significant impact on inclusive growth. Already Indian companies are not able to give any real competition to foreign owned comapanies. Indian Constitution calls for removing concentration of economic power whereas economic power is not really in Indian hands. There is certainly a need for better analysis of ownership of key Indian sectors and taking appropriate actions so that inclusive growth is not compromised.

ICICI bank is not a bank, but a house of the mercenaries. If I had my say, I would not allow them to operate here.

FPSB which provides CFP certification, has a bounden duty to standardize commissions across investible asset classes. The information dissymmetery and regulatory lethargy leads to disparity in commissions that allows common investor to be fleeced legally... until harmonisation and rationalisation of commissions is brought about by HLCC from govt and FPSB from market players; because regulators won't adopt each other's best practices so easily as it amounts to ignorance or unwillingness to agree, in the bygone period of exploitation of common policy holders.

like all good instruments of reducing risk, insurance (derivatives being one other example) has also been misused by speculators to misrepresent unrelated products and trap naive out of their money...
