Green-washing?

General Electric, despite being a $386 billion hulk, has never managed to leave investors awestruck; at least not during the past eight years, with its share prices arrested around $37 ($37.56 as on May 24, 2007)! Surprising, with its 10.6%

CAGR in earnings in past decade!

What’s not a surprise, however, is the boot GE has received from environmentalists for being the ‘non-green do-it-all’ titan. None of its divisions can be called ‘innocent’ in this respect, with the highlight being the dumping of 1.3 billion pounds of polychlorinated bi-phenyls into the Hudson River over decades. And after facing the brunt all these years, GE in 2005 decided to respond through their ‘Ecomagination’ initiative! Jeffrey Immelt, CEO, GE, accepts that Ecomagination is more a survival & growth tool as, “It’s primarily a sales pitch. In its essence, it’s a way to sell more products and services. Green is now becoming pervasive. Work on energy efficiency, emissions reductions, conservation, clean water is simply good business.” But is this just another act of greenwashing?

IIPM Publications Article:- Satyam

The ironic part is that while the average person may dismiss it as a supplemental notion, branding is serious business. Everything you do or don’t do carries

a promise to your customers. Branding is simply your image and your reputation, built on everything that you did or did not do, committed or did not commit, delivered or failed to deliver.

Like I said last year as well, this is why you can never ignore branding, for even if you don’t control it, you will be branded! So, I say, harness this subdued but very strapping power to drive and sustain organizational productivity and profitability, for it presents the one primary element that truly distinguishes the really good players from the very great ones…

Companies in the metals segment too came up with impressive numbers on the back of higher domestic and international metal prices.

With inflation expected to tread lower towards mid-May, pressure to

tighten interest rates is likely to alleviate.” So banking could yet be a prize pick for the individual investors. Rajesh Agarwal of CD Equisearch is of the view that one should also continue holding the cement counters. “I see the valuations to be attractive on the whole pack, lot of cement counters have corrected almost 50%. The companies came with good set of numbers, and with the kind of construction and real-estate boom we are witnessing in India, I don’t find any problem with the industry as such.”

As the Sensex is slowly and steadily moving back towards initial highs, there are quite a few scrips that are still low at valuation. Go long on these sectors (stocks) in the shortest possible time and keep the show going!

Ramu accommodates Mrs. Thakur

Kabhi Haan

Kabhi Naa star and Shekhar Kapur’s ex-wife Suchitra Krishnamoorthy will return to the silver screen in Ram Gopal Varma’s version of yesteryears hit Sholay, titled Ram Gopal Varma ke Sholay, where she would be playing Thakur’s wife. Interestingly, the original version did not have this character and it sure will be a Chunauti for this damsel to portray the role so as to make it just as legendary as the rest of its cast. With Suchitra choosing a mature role for a comeback, all we can hope is that, like wine, time has only benefitted this lass too.
