suppose i am holding the shares a company & that company is coming up with right issue . so my question is that can i get the shares in right isssue

we are doing equity index arbitrage. We buy nifty futures and sold equivalent % of stock futures so our position is 99.99% hedge. Suppose we bought 1,00,000 nifty @6000 and sold equivalent stock futures at same level to take advantage of arbitrage opportunity. Now on 31st March the Nifty value comes to 4500 but we have positive mark to market as we have already sold stock futures of equvalent value. Now as Guidance note issued by ICAI we have to provide for Mark to Market loss on Nifty futures i.e.Rs.1500 lacs and should not consider gain of Rs.1510 lacs on stock futures. To me in such cases as matter of prudence on has to consider profit/loss of whole basket instead of considering each item individually. Any comment ???

It is heard subprime lending is a normal thing in US. Then how come it became a crisis this time? Where did the crisis start?

At present, I have (a) two seperate Demat Accounts with ICICIDIRECT, first one in my name and the second one in my spouse's name and (b) two seperate Savings Bank accounts, first one in my name and the second one in my spouse's name. I am primarily operating SB Accounts for the limited purpose of applying for IPOs etc.

I have seen a news item according to which ICICI Bank will hike the minmum Average Quarterly Balance (AQB) from present Rs 5000 to Rs 10000 from Jul 08 onwards

So I now propose (a) to continue two seperate Demat Accounts (b) to close SB account in the name of my spouse and (c)convert the SB account now in my name as Joint Account with my spouse on either or survivor basis.

It appears as though ICICIDIRECT does not permit such arrangement. Could you pl. suggest alternaive courses of action available.
