According to EC on Hiru news yesterday.

Those who viewed the interview on Hiru TV would have observed Harsha De Silva while admitting that Gota a challenge, follows it in a mild tone that Sajith can make it as if he is forced to say so. But, Harsha De Silva's body language says it all that Gota will emerge victorious. I respect Harsha for his openness and won't be surprised if he comes forward to assist Gota in his ambitious and genuine effort to fast track Development & Investments in the future.
Body Language says it all!

Keep dreaming!!!

If A person called Ranil Wickramasinghe comes to work even as a caretaker to a property, DO NOT TAKE HIM! HE WILL FIND SOME LOOP HOLE IN HIS EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT TO STAY AND WORK WITH YOU AND BE "BURIED ONCE HE IS DEAD" " IN YOUR LAND" EVEN IF HE DOES A THEFT OF ALL YOUR COCONUT TREES AND OTHER FRAUDS THAT CAN TAKE PLACE REGARDING PROPERTIES, AND YOU WANT TO FIRE HIM, HE WILL HAVE THE LOCAL POLICE AND MEMBERS OF THE BAR ASSOCIATION TO MAKE SURE HE STAYS IN EMPLOYMENT.

Ofcourse I was referring to the current UNP leader and not anyone else coincidentally named "Ranil Wckramasinge"
God bless Mrs. Maithri Wickramasinghe for living with him.

Ranil will have to quit politics very soon.He may like or dislike.
Now Its the Time  for his political farewell.
 

Market expected to react very soon.

At present context. non of the investores have confidence on any party either BLUE OR GREEN.....

EXTERNAL FACTORS THAT AFFECT A BUSINESS.
CAN WE AGREE WITH THIS 100%?
FOR ALL CITIZENS TO LEARN!

Well said samaritan
At this time, Political environment may be the biggest influencer of the market

In PESTEEL factors, P means Political factor. Man is a political animal but countries like sri lanka always use politics as a personal benifit. We should use it broadly.

Absolutely. Investor sentiment is linked to political environment among other factors.

Thanks to Teller. In a Democratic Country every citizen have right to support a party and it's candidate. Here my point is don't capare a share with a candidate, it go up come down, is misleading the members

Usually minority parties are the ones who brag that without their support a major party cannot form a govt. President has stated that without SLFP's support none of the candidates could win the presidential election. There is nothing about an SLFP candidate winning the election which in other words is conceding defeat even before the race.
So, one wonders whether Siritunga Jayasuriya or the SLFP candidate will get more votes!

We are not talking about Body Mass Index of individuals and forecasting which sector would perform, its based on the policies of the individual. Remember the Mahaweli development project which was originally planned to be executed over 15 years was completed by Gamini Dissanayake in 5 years. 
People are confident that development & investment will be fast tracked under Gota's leadership. When development is fast tracked figure out which sector is poised to do well.
If there was a capable leader so much could have been achieved over the last four years!

Have you forgotten the biggest scam in the post independence history of Sri Lanka "the CB bond scam". Who was the mastermind behind it and who protected Arjun Mahendran? Do you think that he will ever be brought back to Sri Lanka in the absence of an extradition treaty between S'pore & SL? Don't the people of SL have the right to know the facts?
Can you quantify the long term massive loss to the country that runs into several billions? 
Who is the main culprit behind the CB scam??????
Lotus Tower issue has been referred to the Chinese Embassy for clarification & response by the opposition according to 'daily mirror".

My Friend Samaritan, Bond case investigated by P. commission report came and same time another report came out 2005 to 2015 10 YEARS Bond case. Both reports covered under carpet, this our politic.

What do you all think ?

My guess is Gota has a marginal chance of winning whoever contests from other parties, but still too early to predict 100%. Sajith will be a better contender from UNP if nominations allowed.

Gota victory and possibilities will definitely provide a boost to the market with local Investors. But to get Foreign participation and become very active market, it will take more time.

Our market is trading at PE 7, whereas many other markets are way above. In India its around 27 and many south asian markets above 15. So many of our shares have the potential to gain 100% easily, but need enough funds and retailers to come back.

GR is the only saviour for the ailing stock market. The chances of green candidate winning is rather remote, but if it does happen the market will continue in its sluggish mode like in the past four years. 
Its a pity that people who want to make money in the stock market and at the same time being critical of GR don't realize this fact.

Though GR is a modest candidate with open and modern views on economy specially after his exposure to US, but MR and some his close associates still think 50 years back and think of nationalisation and Govt running business. They talk about taking back Hambanthota port, keeping Srilankan Airline under Govt etc which are economic disasters.  They are good play ground for Govt Corruption when they are kept under politicians. 

THAT IS THE MAJOR WORRY WITH A GOTA led Govt, but MR equally powerful and where GOTA will not try to take independent decisions due to close link. Else it is known and accepted they are super Bunch of managers together. But their view on privatisation is a very negative.

In my opinion they will act prudently regarding privatisation.
They would also adopt a balanced foreign policy learning from past mistakes and take the country forward focusing and fast tracking development & investments which will benefit the economy and in turn the ailing corporate sector & CSE. In today's competitive world every hour is precious but the present guys wasted four years doing sweet nothing and even did not take national security seriously.

Sajith named as the candidate shot while ago. 

How do u know?
