Sector Watch for year 2007

By CROW -
The Sensex has scaled 17k today and attained a peak of 17073.87, before cooling off. Reliance Industries contributed 256 points, Bharti 99 points, L&T 79 points and ICICI 67 points to the recent rally. The Sensex has achieved two major milestones of 15k and 16k this year. 15k mark was achieved on July 6, while 16k on Sep 19. While the 14k-15k mark was achieved in 144 days, the 15k-16k took just 53 days. But the last lap of 1,000 points to 17k was truly breath-taking and 16k-17k was achieved in just 6 days.

At the start of this year, the Sensex was at 13800 levels and it has gained almost 23% since the starting of the calendar year. Among the major indices, Capital Goods index has risen the most-by 61.21%. The Oil & Gas and Metal indices were also star performers rising 56% and 45% respectively.

Amongst the underperformers, the IT index is down 14.62% since the start of the year. An appreciating rupee has taken a toll on the IT stocks. The Auto and Healthcare indices are also losers, down 5.5% and 2.7% respectively. The FMCG index also has risen only 10%.

Part 2 Contd ....   Environment The package includes $9.2 billion for environmental projects at the Interior Department and the Environmental Protection Agency. The money would be used to shutter abandoned mines on public lands, help local governments protect drinking water supplies, and erect energy-efficient visitor centers at wildlife refuges and national parks. The Interior Department estimates that its portion of the work would generate about 100,000 jobs in the next two years. Yet the plan will make only a dent in the backlog of cleanup projects facing the EPA and in the long list of chores at the country's national parks, refuges and other public lands. Talk back: How will you use your tax refund? The plan sets aside $735 million for road repairs and maintenance at national parks. But that's just a fraction of the $9 billion worth of work waiting for funding. At the EPA, the payout is $7.2 billion. The bulk of the money will help local communities and states

This was narrated by an IAF pilot at a Seminar recently on Human Relations : Venkatesh Balasubramaniam (who works for IIT) describes how his gesture of booking an air ticket for his father, his maiden flight, brought forth a rush of emotions and made him (Venkatesh) realize that how much we all take for granted when it comes to our parents. My parents left for our native place on Thursday and we went to the airport to see them off. In fact, my father had never traveled by air before, so I just took this opportunity to make him experience the same. In spite of being asked to book tickets by train, I got them tickets on Jet Airways . The moment I handed over the tickets to him, he was surprised to see that I had booked them by air. The excitement was very apparent on his face, waiting for the time of travel. Just like a school boy, he was  preparing himself on that day and we all went to the airport, right from using the trolley for his luggage, the baggage check-in and asking for
