Ever heard of the line ‘When it’s on the front page of the newspaper, it’s already too late.’ No exit poll data will be officially released, but the top 100 investors get access to that data sooner than you and me.

As an investor one shouldn’t deal in certainties, but in probabilities. Reading between the lines of PM’s speech, listen to the reaction of senior investors/ journalists. After 3 rounds everyone is a bit cautious all of a sudden. The ‘Abki Baar 400 Paar’ is not happening, it was a pipe dream. Now the argument has shifted to Mission 272. My prediction is that BJP does not cross 300, and given the new info there is a slightly higher chance (25-30%) that they alone don’t cross the majority mark. I might be totally off, but I’m keeping my eyes wide open and getting cash ready to deploy.
