The target of 400 after stock split is already achieved. Do you think there is more left in this counter,
Probably its got the steam to move a bit.Lack of similar players and high cash flow would always make sure it commands a very high valuation.
Dear Arun, I saw this post late. Can you tell me what is your stand on Westlife Development at this point, should I go for it. Can it be a 5 bagger from this level, please suggest.
Thanks in advance. Lastly, thanks for your new android app. It's awsome.
