I would like to be the prophet here and point back to my prophecy to say "I told you so" -
Basantji, I'm really happy with your announcement. Needless to say that you can count me in. Are you issuing shares as well  ?
Regards,
Ram.

Thank you everyone! Personally I was a bit reluctant to get this through because for some reason it looked a bit embarrassing for me to come out with a commercial arrangement that could in some way compete with TheEquityDesk but then I thought that if I can have a structure that adds real value to people as they get access to my opinions and also my investment bets it should be a product/service with some difference.
Apart from the views on this thread I have also received several phone calls and emails from people who are on TED and for some reason are hiding their identity. The response has left me overwhelmed.
The "Ask Basant" section is cumbersome as I would have to respond to queries but I thought that without that it would have been difficult to supplement my thoughts and opinions. Hence inspite of the issues of responding to questions I took this up because without that the other part looked a bit unfinished.
About the PMS, it is in the pipeline but some distance away but that at the moment I am too much focused on "Basant's Corner".
I hope to be of even more assistance to you all then I have been through the forum.
Thank you again.

basant jee, "Basant's Corner" will be like Peter Lynch, WB and RJ combined giving us successful investment ideas.  I just hope, TED forum doesn't get deprived of your valuable opinion on certain topics that Teddies put forward as you'll be totally busy in "Basant's Corner"  . Waiting eagerly for your advisory service.

"Great decision Basantji"
I am sure this will be a "Super Service" a not to be missed opportunity for people like us who need someone Proven,Genuine,Respected to guide us through our investment journey.
The timing is also right.

I am just thinking of impact. Anything recommended by Basantji will get overpriced in no time, especially if normal volumes are not much. Anyways, it will be like unintended consequences.

I have one worry.... it should not happen that the discussion which are happening on the equity desk would shift to the thread within Basan't corner. I am sure lot of good people will subscribe to basant's corner and will start putting in the comments there. So in a way equitydesk will suffer.. because over the time they will not put comments at both the places. I know you must have thought of it... because both of them are your baby... :)
One option could be opening up the old thread from the Basant's corner after some delay...
