Bomb threat to BSE, NSE

Our Bureau, Mumbai Oct 15

Even while the Sensex was engaged in its record 640-point sprint to burst through the 19K mark on Monday, the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange received an anonymous e-mail containing a threat to blow up the two buildings.

Security at both the buildings was beefed up minutes after the police were alerted of the e-mailed threat.

Teams of Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad were posted at the exchange buildings and frisking tightened.

According to a senior officer from Stock Exchange who did not wish to be identified, cyber-police has also been alerted and there is a suspicion that one of the Chhotelaals might be behind this threat.

Excerpts from a VERY NICE article in Biz Std:
 

Mudar Patherya explains how to identify a bull market.

 

It’s a bull market if you’ve woken up this morning with the feeling: “Thank god, it is Monday!”

 
  • It’s a bull market if the analyst takes a deep breath, runs his mind quickly across 1985, 1992, 2000 and says, “But it is different this time.”

  • It’s a bull market if the MD is talking to you but looking at the CNBC ticker.

  • It’s a bull market if your son asks you for the meaning of ‘support’ and you confuse him with trend lines and candlesticks.

  • It’s a bull market when your broker says, “Lai liyo baapa, share jowa nahin maley!”

  • It’s a bull market if every analyst advises caution but adds, “However, in the long term we are bullish.”

  • It’s a bull market if you’re suddenly discovered on the social circuit because you happen to be the husband of the wife who is a niece of the person who was a friend of Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s father 30 years ago.

  • It’s a bull market if people call you up to discuss the weather, the pollution, the nation, the Marxists and inevitably end up with, “Kuch khareedne laayak?”

  • It’s a bull market if everyone is convinced that the country has a great future but will still call you as soon as the market melts three per cent and ask, “Badhoo baraabar, ney?”

  • It’s a bull market if a Rs 10 crore profit becomes a Rs 15 crore profit quarter-on-quarter and you sneer dismissively, “Kuch ho nahin raha hai!”

  • It’s a bull market if you disinvest big time but prefer to leave the surplus with the broker saying, “Aaakhir aapko hi toh mujhe dena hai.”

  • It’s a bull market if you apply the ROI (return on investment) concept to everything your wife says you need at home and grumble: “Yaad hai, if we had not bought the microwave oven but bought Saboo Sodium stock, today you would have been a queen riding an Alto…”

  • It’s a bull market if you see 25-year-olds trade derivatives arrogantly and come away feeling that you need to read Victor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning all over again.

  • It’s a bull market if you encounter a new species of professional who only works five days a week from 9.55 to 3.30 and responds to everything with ‘Jalsaa chhey!’

  • It’s a bull market when the Opinion Democratisation Index peaks, usually manifested in 23-year-olds dismissing companies with a 10 per cent increase in earnings as ‘chors’.

  • It’s a bull market when you ask why Prism Cement will go to Rs 81 and the answer is ‘Kyonki website pey likha hain’.

  • It’s a bull market if Enam puts out a research report indicating that the stock could double in a year and you say ‘Bus?’

  • It’s a bull market when the management is explaining its restructuring, business model and sustainability agenda and the analyst simply wants to know ‘Lekin EPS kya aayega?’

  • It’s a bull market if the wife starts getting suspicious about an sms every two minutes on your cell phone, sneaks a look when you go to the loo, only to find ‘Buy Nifty futures’.

  • It’s a bull market when you get a call from someone who you thought was a proud father of an MBA graduate but insists, “Aap mere bete ko aap ke under mein le leejiye, aadmi ban jaayega!”

  • It’s a bull market when people don’t have more than Rs 223 in their pocket but discuss stake sales and numbers ending six zeroes.

  • It’s a bull market when you find it difficult to go on a vacation because somewhere deep inside you nurse the feeling that an unattended market might do something stupid behind your back.

  • It’s a bull market when Nandigram seems a ‘jhanjhat’ and Myanmar monks irrelevant.

  • It’s a bull market when you read the front page of the pink papers and realise how small you are.

  • It’s a bull market if your daughter mentions ‘Let us take a break’ and your first recall is interrupted hours of trading due to the sun outage.

  • It’s a bull market when you get irritable on Saturday and Sunday.

  • It’s a bull market when you read a column like this and say, “What? No tip?” and hiss that your time was bloody wasted.
  •

    Kulmanji ,
      Bull market post was nice read !Cool
    Often we forget there's a company behind every stock,and there's only one reason why stocks go up. Companies go from doing poorly to doing well or small companies grow to large companies.
