Specific to kotak, there is an important shift in mix of "other income" as compared to Dec07 period.
Premium on insurance business constitutes as high as 63% of other income (as against 33% for Dec07 period) whereas commission & brokerage income is down to 36% (as against 50% for Dec07 period). Insurance premium may be more sustainable probably.

(t)Ulips were marketed aggressively by misleading investors. I guess that not many people might renew.

You mean to say the element of cyclicality in these businesses is quite high.
Which of these businesses would be the best buy at present?
R Cap?

I would not buy any of these at any price. Reason being I cannot know whether the stock would become cheap (EPS would growth is unpredictable).
Even when these companies were very hot about ayear and ahalf back I was not attracted to them for this very reason. I like buying companies who would get cheaper every year (the degree of growth could differ though).

See most of these companies are leveraged to a bull market and unless we get aroaring bull in place how can companies with brokerages, Asset management busineses etc do well and even if they do markets wil never rate them with a higher PE>
Hence I would not buy them but if you are holding 20 stocks you can add a couple of these and that too when the stock price just stays flat for a few months and goes nowhere.

How many of you believe in Rcap numbers? KMB looks like a good bet among them.
