MM, I have no clue as to investing in India. I will ask my dad who would be more knolwdgeable. I do have a some funds that I may be interested in investing in India. Please let me how I could go about doing that. I think that info could be very useful on this thread,,with all the programmers doing so well. I do not even have a stop on BRCD. I hope the fact that you picked up shares at a cheaper price is not any indication for tomorrow.
