Chasing loss making companies at such steep valuations can't be justified by any means. This is becoming a norm now when all affluent investors are trying to dump the shares to Retail investors at crazy valuations.
We have always ask investors to exit stocks in 2 conditions - Once when company fails to grow and second when the valuations is extremely high (10 Rs. thing getting sold at 30 - 35 Rs). Pharmeasy for us comes in latter category.
Please be cautious while investing in Pharmeasy stocks.
