"Retail investors who got it right made an absolute return of 5.5% in RECs OFS issue," says Sumit Bagadia, associate director, Choice Broking. Retail investors, who placed bids at Rs 333.30 and above, got full allotment of 600 shares on their invested amount. After factoring in a 5% discount for retail investors, the net cost to retail investors is Rs 316.65

Seen many fellow Retails investors are not aware about there actions. Some bought few shares between 450 - 600.

I also feel Govt. also want to offall its holdings to FII/Institituions. Otherwise they can keep 100 % quota for Retail Investor & if some thing left / unsubscribed can be take by Institutions. Then Indian CPSE wealth will be reaped by retail investors.

Also Govt should ensure that PEPSICO, Laurel, COCA-Cola etc should offcertain shares for Retail / Indian Investors.

Above actions are solicited if Govt of India is really concerned about its Retail investors.

INSTITUTIONS HAVE KNOWLEDGE, MONEY POWER AND MEANS TO AFFECT SENTIMENTS AND RETAILS DONT. THEY MOST OF THE TIME FOLLOW THE WHAT THE INSTITUTIONS ARE DOING. IN REC CASE IT WAS AS IF THE RETAILS DID NOT WANT THE 5% DISCOUNT THAT WAS PROVIDED BY THE GOVT , ATLEAST THE FINAL PRICE OF RETAIL AND NON RETAIL SHOWS SO (RETAIL333.3, NON RETAIL327.25) MEANING THE NET EFFECTIVE PRICE FOR RETAIL WILL BE 333.3-15=318.3) WHICH NARROWS DOWN THE DIFFERENCE AT WHICH INSTITUTIONS AND RETAIL WILL BE ALLOTTED SHARES. THIS ONLY REFLECTS THE PROBLEMS OF THE OFS SYSTEM. NO RETAILER WOULD LIKE TO GIVE AWAY EVEN A PAISA PROVIDED BY GOVT. FOR FREE.ALSO THE ISSUE CREATED A WAR OF SORTS AMONG THE RETAIL CATEGORY TRYING TO GRAB THE SHARES IN THE EUPHORIA CREATED NOT KNOWING AND REALIZING THAT THEY CAN EASILY GET CARRIED AWAY AND FACE THE CONSEQUENCES FOR THE SAME. THE INSTITUTIONS WERE SMART TO FULLY SUBSCRIBE THE ISSUE IN THE EARLY STAGE TURNING THE SENTIMENT POSITIVE FOR THE RETAILS AND CREATING A EUPHORIA IN WHICH THE BROKERS DID THERE PART IN FURTHER IGNITING THE RETIAL SENTIMENTS. BROKERS ARE SURE TO EARN THERE BROKERAGE OR INTEREST IN FINANCING THE BIDS OF THE REATIL PEOPLE. IT SEEMED AS IF THE DEMAND FOR REC STOCK WAS MORE FROM THE RETAIL PEOPLE THEN THE LEARNED INSTITUTIONS WHICH CANNOT BE TRUE.

Guys! The Indicative price shown in BSE/NSE is the weighted avg price and the cut-off can be very different. If majority of bids were at the lower/higher band then the Avg (indicative) price will be higher/lower. What matters is the Consolidated Volume/demand. In REC case approx .9 crore shares were for retail and the consolidated bids figure (as I had seen at 3:25pm yesterday) were pointing to 333-334 price range and that''''s what has happened. So I don''''t buy the argument that OFS is not transparent.
Now, whether someone buys or not irrespective of it''''s via IPO/FPO/OFS or secondary market is individual''''s investment/trading strategy and decision. One will never know at start whether it''''s right/wrong. Only time will tell.

HNIs and arbitrage players crowded out small investors in the retail category. Had hopes that the BJP govt will leave some on the plate for the small investors. OFS institutional book build and price discovery should happen one day before the retail offer, like in developed countries. Price discovery is a farce becaof games played in futures market, arbitrage players, state insurance companies and the like.

SEBI has already moved for cut off price for retail shareholders in FPO also which may take sometime.but in REC case it will not BE APPLICABLE.and general perception that retail shareholders are not going to get any allotment is true as most of the retail category would have applied close to 315 only.there was no idea of keeping a watch for whole of day and applying at such a high rate afterwards.The whole discount will vanish in this way.

Allotment Price
Symbol      Retail Category       Non-Retail Category
RECLTD      333.30       327.25

Anyone who has bid at a lower price than Rs 333.30 will not get any allotment.
Very difficult for retail investor to bid as indicative price and allotment price is hugely different.
Unless there is an option for bidding at CUT OFF, retailers will lose out

The OFS route is not at all Transperent for Retail investor. Inverstor keep on guessing if one will get allotment.

as per NSE, indicative price = 325.10 for Retail and 324.73 for General. Retail subscribed 9.02 times and General subscribed 4.66 times. I applied at price 315 will I get it or not ?

Cut off price for Retail & Non Retail will be different or same. If its different how there is a discount of 5% as compared to Non retail.
In the last 5 minutes in retail the bids came like storm, How in retail category the bids were bidded so fast. SEBI & Stock exchange have to check this to the retail investor.
I think some brokers have uploaded the bid in bulk. In OFS broker should not be allowed to bid in bulk bids.

OFS IS REAL DANGEROUS GAME FOR RETAIL INVESTORS.IT WAS SURPRISING TO SEE THE DEMAND FOR REC STOCK. IT SEEMED AS IF RETAIL INVESTORS WERE THROWING AWAY ALL SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS AND WANTED TO GET HOLD OF REC SHARESE AT WHATEVER PRICE. THIS CANNOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT BROOKERS PLAYING ACTIVE ROLE IN JACKING UP THE PRICE THROUGH THERE ADVISES FOR THEY HAVE NOTHING TO LOOSE AS THERE BROKERAGE IS GURANTEED WHEN THE RETAIL SELL THEIR SHARES.ALSO RETAIL CAN EASILY GET CARRIED AWAY IN THE EUPHORIA SO CREATED.FPO IS A MUCH BETTER WAY TO REWARD THE RETAIL PEOPLE IF THE GOVT. REALLY INTENDS TO DO SO AND THE PROCESS IS ALSO MUCH TRANSPARENT AND EASY TO HANDLE. MOST RETAIL CANNOT AFFORD TO SIT IN FRONT OF THE TRADING SCREEN FULL DAY AND AT THE END FIND THAT THERE BID WAS NOT ACCEPTED EVEN AFTER CONSTANT REVISION OF PRICE. ALSO NOTE THAT THE DISCOUNT OFFERED TO RETAIL VANISHED FULLY COMPERED TO THE FLOOR PRICE. SHOULD NOT THE GOVT, THE SEBI AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS CONSIDER ALL THIS.
