Fundamentals - 26.12.12


Nik's Diary:
Nifty and Sensex were slightly up from the previous closing during first hour of trade today. Trade activity was slow due to a holiday yesterday. IT sector was performing sluggishly whereas Metal sector stood steady. FII's movement has also been inactive due to the festive mode. It is expected that next trigger in volatility or market movement would be in the third quarter of this financial year. Resolution to 'fIscal cliff' and an increased fund inflows and outflows by the FIIs, would determine the market trend.

Fundamentals April 30, 2013

Nik's Diary The Indian markets opened in the green following strong start to SGX Nifty and major Asian indices after better-than-expected reading on US housing sales and amid speculation that central banks will continue the stimulation measures. The US markets ended on a positive note on Monday with S&P 500 closing at a record high as traders reacted positively to the latest batch of economic news. The strength on Wall Street reflected a positive reaction to a report from the National Association of Realtors showing a bigger than expected rebound in pending home sales in the month of March. The pending home sales index rose by 1.5% in March 2013 after falling by 1% in February 2013.

You are still helping by fearing and staying away from equity investing !!!

Yes it is true. Retail investors help markets and its participants more by staying out than by investing in equities itself. Hence optimists like me, do not mind retail investors doing everything else other than investing in equity markets.  Let me tell you how it helps us. 1. Keeping your money in low interest bearing savings accounts will help banks raise cheap funds. In such a way you earn taxable 9% per year in fixed deposits and 4 % in saving accounts, whereas we  continue accumulating multi lac crore banks like HDFCBank, AxisBank, ICICIBank, SBI and like, which are up by any multiple between 3.5 times to 11 times since December 2008. Also, by paying all your EMI installments on time would help private banks stay out of trouble and we shall continue investing in banking sector with of course proper investment plans and goals. This is something retail investors lack and often end up burning their fingers. 2. Retail investors are more or less out of the mark...
