I get emails from a lot of readers to write about various topics. The topics requested are important for most investors and I think a majority of the readers of the blog would benefit from them.
I have put a poll on the list of topics which have been requested in the past (except point 6) and would write on the topic which gets the most votes. If you want a different topic to be written about and is not on the list, please leave a comment and i will take it up in a future poll.
I am sure you can guess, which topic will get my vote 🙂

Point# 4> In view of the changes made in the format of financial statements through revised Schedule vi of Companies Act. For someone so used to the old format of the numbers, the new format comes as a shock. It is like moving from Windows 95 to Windows 7! Besides the change of format, it has done away with many pieces of information completely:Managerial remuneration no longer needs to be disclosedPhysical performance in terms of volumes of various goods sold helped analysts to figure out average selling price and hence pricing power. This vital information is now no longer available.I guess we need to revisit “analysis of annual reports”.
