    • Ryt sir. SIS is down then its ipo price still. The review on ipo central was absolutely correct on high price. Just one shock and thestock was down!!

  1. Apex should list between 20%-30% premium at the max. Markets are choppy whole Aug and are expected to remain same till Oct-Nov. So, this is max which one may expect from this IPO.

  2. Apex is going to be a very interesting story. The valuations are very reasonable and takes into account the volatility in the market. Couple of quarters down the line and these ratios will be very attractive.

  3. I HAVE to APPLY ON 1ST DAY, NO SINGLE LOT ALLOTMENT. BROKERS ARE DONE THE FIXING WITH BIGSHARE & PROMOTERS. RIDICULOUS…

  4. Sir may I ask what your bid prices and each lot size were? Which one won you the lot? Would you be so kind as to share that info please?

    • This message was for Mr. Raj who won one lot/bid… I had posted it as a reply to his message but it got posted at the top… Sorry Mr. Raj…
