Fundamentals May 29, 2013

Nik's Diary 
The Indian markets opened flat tracking marginally negative opening in most of the Asian markets and SGX Nifty. US markets pulled back off after moving sharply higher in early trading but managed to end the day in positive territory. The positive sentiment was led by release of the report from the Conference Board which reported surge in consumer confidence index to 76.2 in May (five-year high) from an upwardly revised 69.0 in April. The pullback off the highs may have reflected lingering concerns about the outlook for the Federal Reserve's asset purchase program, as Fed officials have indicated that upbeat data may lead the central bank to taper the program within the next few meetings. European markets ended the day in green reacting positively to the release of better than expected U.S. economic data. Meanwhile, Indian shares ended higher for a third consecutive session on Tuesday following the firm global cues. Adding to the positive sentiment, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh assured India would take more steps to attract foreign investments. Terming the 5% growth witnessed last year a temporary slowdown, Singh noted that India's fundamentals are still intact and the country will revert to 8% growth.

RBI rules out ban on sale of gold coins
The Reserve Bank today ruled out a ban on sale of gold coins but asked banks to refrain from aggressively selling the precious metal. RBI Governor D Subbarao told reporters here that the RBI did not intend to ban sale of gold coins by banks. "We do not want banks to aggressively market gold. We do not want that to become a business. Gold loans are a very small part of the banking business," he said on the sidelines of a financial inclusion conference here. In a bid to curb demand for gold, the RBI yesterday imposed restrictions on banks and NBFCs for providing loans against gold coins as well as units of gold ETFs and mutual funds.Saying the route of buying gold for the purpose of genuinely saving should be available to the people, Subbarao emphasised that investment in the financial sector is good for the economy. He also noted that the attractiveness of gold is a "consequence of high inflation". Talking about the need for financial inclusion, he said the RBI had a two-fold responsibility as a regulator and public policy institution and it was important to make people understand viable alternative avenues of investment as part of financial inclusion to wean them away from such schemes. Subbarao said there were many "unscrupulous schemes" which did not come under regulatory purview which lure people with exorbitant rates of interest. The conference was attended by some 90 delegates comprising rural customers, business correspondents and rural branch managers of commercial banks from Gujarat and Chhattisgarh.Source: Moneycontrol

Professional Trading - Business like no other !!

My primary love is professional trading. That's what I do, that's what I breathe. Trading gives me passive income, my money is busy making money for me. It is my passion, however that is not my occupation. My job is somewhat of a missionary set out to educate people about the art of investing and trading. My job as a coach is to find talented people and make sure they learn and follow the fundamentals of the art. This is the goal I have set for myself. This is why I wake up every morning. This is why I sleep every night. However on this journey I encounter many people who come into trading having accumulated either a lot of money or a lot of dreams. I have seen a lot of doctors, lawyers, engineers, techies, accountants, architects and the like. All those professions require a lot of training to master the skills involved. You simply cannot go to a realtor without any proper training or qualification and say "I'd like to design this structure for you today." ...
