Microsoft, IE, Anti-Virus and Stocks!

↓ skip to article

Microsoft is going to come out with IE 7. Hoping to see a more secure and a better browser. Till then, its the Firefox which rox!!

Also heard that Microsoft is going to launch its own anti-virus product. That’s interesting!! Wondering whether they will provide it free of cost to Windows users (just like its anti-spyware software) or will they charge for it as well. But, whatever they do, the likes of McAfee and Norton will have to face some tough competition.

On V-Day, when the Sensex was at its peak, I sold off some of my stocks, and pocketed a nice profit :) I am now really enjoying playing around with these Bulls and Bears! Planning to invest some more in the market. The Jet Airways IPO & Reliance India Opportunities Fund (IPO) look like a good deals. Also, the steel industry seems to be promising these days. Any suggestions, where should I invest my money?

Edit:
Found this nice article on Rediff regarding IPOs. Interesting read!

[Bablu] Yeah… I agree!! Need to look there as well. Thanx!

[Puneet] Completely agree with you. It was about time that MS had to launch a newer version of their browser. They need to pull up their socks!

Steel always been the best.
My Dad started inveting in SAIL when it was Rs 9 :D

Ofcourse IPO are always the first preference.
Jet Airlines is some-what good. Just a little expensive, as the company was incurring losses, few years back.
So take care…

[Ankur] Yup, steel industry is like a safe bet! 99 times out of 100 its going to pay off!

Jet Airways is nice investment, ‘coz aviation sector is going to boom in India in the next few years. Plus, jet airways is the leading domestic airline, and is planning to fly on lucrative international routes. So, that means profits should increase. Ya, there is a risk, but the lure of easy money is pulling me towards it!

sorry its *firefox

[Narendra] “how may applications did you tried on firefox…” Didn’t get this line! Firefox is not an OS, its a browser!! It doesn’t runs applications, we use it to browse the internet! Just check out my site in IE and then in Firefox. You will find the difference.
