Healthy Insurance

Sometime before I came across below links. The article has a very good analysis of decent health plans available with Nationalized Banks. I am aware that servicing is bit of a challenge but I have experienced similar problems with other channels as well. Moreover, the Price is almost 60% less than what you normally get in the market. Yes, I plan to enroll all of my family into one of these plans.

The Business Today  article has a quick summary of important aspects that one needs to check for a health policy.

Market Capitalization

I am wondering if there is any authentic source to check the Market Capitalization category of the stocks. A little bit of research on Google shows that there are many thoughts.

1. Large Cap is a Stock with market capitalization > Rs.20,000 Crores
2. Mid Cap is a stock with market capitalization > Rs.5,000 Crores but < Rs.20,000 Crores
3. Small Cap is a stock with market capitalization < Rs.5,000 Crores

Two links I checked are below.  I guess I need to do lot more research.

Useful Links

I came across few interesting links. Stock Scanner site is showing a technical error at the moment but seems very useful. The Equity Master Research link allows to research a stock with a detailed comparison to Industry peers. Investor First site is from a trust established by SEBI and provides information on Investments and Financial Planning. Also came across BSE & NSE Links with research reports on few stocks.

BlackBerry Tips

I use BlackBerry Bold 9000. Found below to be helpful.

1. Email Shortcuts are very useful. C for Composing an email, F to Forward, R to Reply, L to Reply All, S to Search, B to go to Bottom, T to go to Top, There are many more !
   
2. BlackBerry Messenger is Feature rich application. What I like most is the Voice Notes. If you hate to Type text you will love using Voice Notes.
3. Backup interface through Desktop Manager Software is decent. Auto Backup works well.
   
4. Best thing is of course their email application.
5. Smart Phone has all applications integrated. SMS can be sent as an email & vice versa. A Phone Book Contact can be sent to a Messenger Contact. When you setup say - LinkedIn, the smart phone recognizes and you get options in your Contacts Menu.

Though when it comes to a basic Phone functionality, I miss Nokia E71 for Contacts, Templates, User Friendliness & so on.

I was pleasantly surprised this time while getting my handset serviced that Redington now gives a stand by device. Its very painful to be without your handset for a week or so. This was when the warranty was about to expire. Somehow they could not repair the voice button problem and actually gave me a brand new BlackBerry Bold 9000 :)
