20-20@Sensex

Last 1000 points rally in just 2 trading sessions....journey from 17k to 20k in no time....

Well its 20-20 here @ Sensex.Sensex touched an intraday high of a historical landmark 20K yesterday.With the way the Indian markets have performed in the recent times its evident that we are in the strong bull market.In this leg of run every time the markets have surprised us on the upside(just like the Indian cricket team winning T-T world cup) .

Indians have a reason to be proud. Hattsoff to the captains of the industries like Ambanis,Murthys,Tatas and so on who have delivered the goods time and again.

The kind of bull market we are witnessing is not new to the global markets. We have an example of Japan where the bulls went on a rampage from 1500 to 40000 and took the economy into a totally new era.

Remember we have a long way to go . There will be violent corrections during this journey and it will test all of us.We have already seen that during this journey and we have also learnt that one cant time the markets but I still believe that there is life beyond 20k .

Wishing you all a Happy Diwali

Happy Investing.

The P-notes Panic...

Right on the opening bell we have witnessed a 10% lower circuit on NIFTY/Sensex. This has happened for the third time in the history of the Indian stock markets when the markets hit the lower circuit and remain closed for specific duration during the trading hours. This was expected on the back of SEBI's proposed move on p-notes participations for FII's.

As per FM this step is one of the series of steps that has been taken to moderate the capital inflows into the India. If Investor thru participatory notes wishes to register as FII to invest in India they are welcome.

This raises a number of questions:
1.Is this a right channel to moderate capital inflows?
2.Is it really possible to moderate capital inflows into countries like India where the bulls are on your side?
3.What if tomorrow the face of the games is changed and the bulls are no longer here? In this case the country would be eager to get the capital inflows.

I think what we need at this time is a really healthy analysis of the current situation from SEBI,FM & RBI and long term plan to address the identified issues which will create a win win situation for everyone .

Markets & India Unleashed...

I think the markets are a sum of valuations,sentiment,liquidity, economy , economic policies & so many other factors.
All these factors drive the markets.Most of the times in short term the markets are driven by liquidity and sentiments however in the long term the markets are driven by valuations, economy etc.
Given below are the various types of markets:

According to investopedia a stock market is the market in which shares are issued and traded either through exchanges or over-the-counter markets. Also known as the equity market, it is one of the most vital areas of a market economy as it provides companies with access to capital and investors with a slice of ownership in the company and the potential of gains based on the company's future performance. This market can be split into two main sections: the primary and secondary market. The primary market is where new issues are first offered, with any subsequent trading going on in the secondary market.

Size of the markets:Analysts at Merrill Lynch estimate that equity markets in Brazil, Russia, India and China represent only 4 percent of world market capitalisation compared with 44 percent for the U.S. equity market alone.

Indian markets have come a long way in the last 5 years so as the Indian economy. Dalal street has taken the place of Walstreet and its not the NYSE , its the NSE which is hot now.

The amount of of FII money coming into the Indian markets tell us the fact that this is India unleashed and even the world believes in India growth story.Its time for us to analyse and recognise this performance and work towards strengthening the India growth story.
