Buy Infosys and Satyam

Investment Advisor, PN Vijay is of the view that one can buy Infosys Technologies, Satyam Copmuter Services

There are some concerns for the technology space in terms of US spending and of course the
strong rupee. So that would make them probably just performers but if one see the statements coming out and the corporate inorganic growth that is now again happening these companies are growing vertically, horizontally, they are becoming global palyers.

He further added, "On the one hand one has very good corporate activity and on the other hand slightly negative macro news. I would still keep buying the best ones, Infosys Technologies and Satyam Computer Services, because the momentum they have generated in 2006-2007 is just awesome."
