A phrase that the Oxford English Dictionary reports was first used in 1736. It means "to make an inventory of the merchandise, furniture, etc., in one's own possession, recording its quantity and present value, or to make a careful estimate of one's position with regard to resources, prospects, or the like."

No allotment in Redington

The disgraceful website of Cameo Corporate services, finally offered me a text box, where I could type in my application number. And here is what he dumped on my screen. :-(

REDINGTON INDIA LIMITED
Name RAJESH VIJAYARAJAN
Application No 12715780
Alloted Shares NIL
Refund Amount 47460
Refund Order No 91924
Refund Mode ECS

No allotment again! Even more annoying is the fact that the refund has still not arrived. Need to think twice, before applying for an issue that is being managed by this registrar.

I guess its time to revisit my IPO Hit-rate. The details are:

Issue Allotment
Info Edge India REJECT
Parsvnath Developers Rs. 6000
Sobha Developers
REJECT
Tanla Solutions
REJECT
Pyramid Saimira
REJECT
Autoline Industries REJECT
Global Broadcast News Rs. 6250
Redington India REJECT

(Note: In all of the above, applied for the highest multiple that does not exceed 50K.)

2 out of 8. So, the hit-rate stands at a meager 25%

if u get it, its amazing (usually) if u dont its money stagnating for long time.

risk-reward ratio seems to favor trading in secondary rather than primary, atleast in ur case :-).

forget IDEA and others for sometime. But then..think of it, you have a high chance of hitting it, if the random generator takes pity on u or if law of averages exists, at all.

True bro! In fact, some listings of late have given adequate time for secondary market buyers to pick and ride the wave. Its more of a starting problem, never tried buying a stock on its listing day.
