  1. Quess may be a better bet as Mahanagar Gas gray market premium has reduced and listing show will now be subject to how our markets digest brexit. Has gray market activity picked up in Quess Corp?

  2. Quess GMP is around 200 now. Forget Kostak rates, small size and just 10% for retail means not much on applications

  3. I am interested in buying 1000 shares of Quess in grey market
    Let me know the best rate and if possible call at 9876131880

    • Ab kya milega 32 times oversubscription pe. But don’t worry, you have not lost anything, everyone is a loser when this kind of subscription happens

  8. what a blockbuster listing! i tried to play intra-day but did not make sense once it crossed 490. there was a perceptible bounce in last one hour. but what an amazing debut!

  9. I agree with bull_sinha. Better to buy stuff with good div yield. there are good sectoral leaders that are at decent multiples and offer good yields. Monsoon should be good for agro-chem cos like UPL and Monsanto. Even the beaten down auto guys like Tata Motors look nice.
