I am closing out the position which I discussed 2 days ago. The June Puts are not really June puts - all futures and options on Reliance Power will expire on May 29 - i.e. tomorrow. On NSE, if one finds the detail on this option, one will still see June 26 as the expiry date. However, there is another section on circulars, where one can find the circular reproduced below. The good thing is - I did not lose money.
What this implies is this - people who have been buying RPower to take advantage of bonus shares have no way to hedge themselves today. There is going to be a rush to short futures after May 30. The right time to short is not today but May 30.

know thoroghly about f/o before recommending anything, sir...this is not the place to learn on other's money
r u a relative of manmohan singh/ chidambaram or bernanke... what CRAP are u writing in the name of analysis... r u trying to learn finance, stock markets, economics by practising in blogs... it would be better if u stop writing immediately. i was just wondering if u are aware that u are just making mockery of the whole finance/economics field along with you. better do some degree in finance and comment on US slowdown.
how come ur able to post such stupid comments without any shame!
probably ur used to it from ur childhood.
I will visit your blog again next week. if u still continue writing all this crap, then i would have no choice but to bombard ur blog with my comments.
