RPL MAY BE A NIFTY GAINER, BUT WITH THE RECENT DROP FROM 295 LEVELS ITS A CLEAR INDICATION THAT THEY DONT APPRECIATE THEIR INVESTORS MONEY

the drop from 290 to 195 has been completely operated. thats the news all over.. check this link of financial express and live mint

http://www.financialexpress.com/news/Smart-operators-in-RPL-futures-make-a-cool-Rs-1-000-cr/244312/

Between November 1 and November 6, 2007, a particular group made short sales of 10crore shares of Reliance Petroleum in the futures segment of National Stock Exchange costing Rs.3,000 crores approximately. they made a cool Rs 1,000 crores in less than a month, because the Reliance Petroleum shares have now crashed from Rs.295 to Rs 195 per share!. These guys have made Rs.100 per share.

isnt it ironic that someone knew that RIL was going to sell a huge quantity of shares and the prices were bound to come down?

My 2nd question is Who financed these traders for their margins? Where has this profit gone? and who bore the loss???

Its innocent small investors who bought Reliance Petroleum shares at the high prices, not knowing that this unholy alliance was indulging in insider trading and making illegal profits while Mukesh Ambani's own company RIL was selling shares without disclosing this to investors!!
