..... of share markets and falling trend is continuing. On analysis we find that the response of foreign investors to the IPO was muted and belied expectations. Is it that foreign investors are wiser when it comes to investing in India because they have no sentiments interfering their investment decisions. Whereas, Indians have sentiments and long term relations with LIC that they made good response to IPO of LIC. From news reports about IPO: ON or about 09.05.2022 the Secretary of Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) Shri Tuhin Kanta Pandey has spoken on the following lines: Strong response reflects Aatmanirbhar Bharat as it was lifted by domestic investors; overall IPO subscribed 2.95 times The IPO .....

..... formation the promoter group holding indicates only one promoter shareholder holding 96.5% stake. Only 3.5% shares are held by public members numbering 4007528. Therefore, in spite of very low floating stock the share price is falling. Investors lost considerably From market price trend of share price of LICI we find that investors have lost considerably and that too within very short period. Therefore, it was totally wrong to say that IPO of LICI was indicator of ATMNIRBHARTA. Is it not indicative of failure of government as major investor of LICI in corporate management? In a social group, few days after listing of shares, one message was received meaning thereby LIC will not be profitable during life, it may give ben .....

..... efit to your family / nominee only after you dies. Author had suggested some people to go by saying and advertisement tagline of LIC ZINDAGI KE SAATH BHEE ZINDAGI KE BAAD BHEE and to hold shares of LIC for life long and very long term. Now he is forced to think that he was wrong. Do not have sentimental attachments with shares of any company including LIC. ZINDAGI KE SAATH BHEE ZINDAGI KE BAAD BHEE is wrong in respect of life insurance policies because the real return is very meager, if at all. Only after life nominee can get capital but appreciation is only if policy holder dies soon and not after living long life. Therefore, the advertisement tagline is wrong and misleading. It seems high time that LIC should change its .....

..... advertisement tagline. - Reply By Sumit Srivastava as = Sir, While i do not know much about the stock market and depend on what the Gurus says, as for the present article, i request the author to get the following spellings corrected. In the title the word used is Jindagi , Jindago - i suppose the English equivalent would be Zindagi Be that as it may, towards the end the author mentions advertisement tangling . I was puzzled with the usage of the word tangling because it means to unite or knit together in intricate confusion . Perhaps, what the author meant was Tagline . Moral of the story - do not invest in any stock because there is a hype created around an issue! Thanks and regards. Dated: 9-6-2022 Reply B .....
