Indian equities markets continued to reel Wednesday from the effects of the US financial tsunami as the Lehman Bros. collapse led to the biggest crisis in the Russian financial markets in a decade.

Today you can buy shares of almost all the big realty companies included in the BSE realty index for Rs.1400,' Thunuguntla said.
