  • Markets Rally to 19,000 – Base weak

    Markets Rally to 19,000 – Base weak

    Everyone is so happy with the bull run now that the benchmark index has touch the magic figure of 19,000. Having such a run fills up the euphoria among investors who would willingly put more and more money in the markets at this point.

    Whats more important to note is that markets are at the peak now and there is no fixed high or low. If you have tanked profits today and enough to your expectations, this is the right time to exit.

    A correction is overdue sometime soon however wont be a big fall. A lot of good news in the market will surely come but this rally is driven by the liquidity in the market. That means a lot of people are having some money to be used and they are using it now. The stocks will be pushed up further for a few days, some even touching 52 weeks high but be cautious.

    Don’t start investments in the market now. Even buying MFs at this point of time is senseless. In two words, if you are new to market: STAY AWAY.

  • Markets Tank: FM the culprit

    Markets Tank: FM the culprit

    I know there are many people who would be cursing our beloved Finance Minister. Market expectation were largely ignored, some of them like major reforms, changes in corporate tax, fuel prices, removal of surcharge, but given that this budget is more of a populist budget it was pretty much obvious that Markets tanked.

    And how! The biggest ever dive on a Budget day. The positives were extension of STPI tax holidays by one year which is going to help the IT sector, abolishing FBT and transaction tax on trading in Commodities.

    For those who provide services within infrastructure will get a chance to bid for more Government projects, expenditure of which will be in the range of 9% of the total GDP.

    I guess this is more or less an ideal budget that is not focused only on the corporate sector. Our corporates should not only think about how the budget is affecting the India Inc.

    The whole media is hoop-halla about the negative aspect of budget as if they have stopped getting negative news elsewhere. Media should also have had shown the positives.

    Hope I would be able to make this much more simpler in another post, after analysing what went good for a Common Man.

  • The Markets will remain positive for June 2009: A little worry though

    The Markets will remain positive for June 2009: A little worry though

    It was two horrific news with a good one. What a combination you may ask?

    The first and obvious story that captured the headlines were the racism attacks on Indians in Australia. That followed with the news that Oil prices will be de-regulated which means that things could go costlier in future.

    However, it may just be good that it will happen. The reforms was what was expected of Congress and they are bang on it! It also may turn out to be good for the economy overall. Because that inflation can grow up from here and this will help the country to be back on the fast track out of recession in general.

    The Good news from a cell phone user point of view was that Minister A. Raja said that he wished the Telephonic rates to come down to 10 paise for local calls and 25 paise for STD calls. What the government has dones is done a small harm with even smaller good.

    This can spell doom for mobile telephonic companies profit margins, but then they will have to resort to VAS for earnings. This is a bit tricky one which may not necessarily boost healthy competition. Instead, I forsee mobile companies getting too agressive with VAS and customer will be bombared with calls and SMSes ignoring privacy and Do Not Disturb facility.

    These news’ will have its effect on the Sensex and how! I stand by my prediction on Sensex crossing 16K by June end which I had posted earlier on my Blog. Trade safe, dont be aggressive in your investment decisions.

  • Is it time to buy then? Sensex Crosses 14k

    Is it time to buy then? Sensex Crosses 14k

    While it was just open and close thing, all that ment was Sensex jumping 2000 points in a matter of 30 minutes. It hit the upper circut and it was gone. To much happiness of all investors. While reports came that US retail sales fell for a second month in April.

    Its an amazing, isnt it this Sensex thing. Keeps going in a zig zag manner. Now for tomorrow, its gonna be either the lower or the upper circut that is going to be breached. Hold your horses.

    If positive, sensex will reach on 15,500 and settle at 15,100 at the end of the day.

    I read on ET that Sensex may even reach to abnormal levels of 29,000 by the end of June. Well, they might have facts and reasons to believe  which is making me wonder how long will the prediction stand logical.

    President of India, Pratibha Patil has invited Manmohan Singh tomorrow to form a government. Who all will be in cabinet is anybody’s guess.

    But one thing is certain, Sensex will beat my predictions but I would like to say that assuming anything that is more than 17,o00 is not a good idea give the global slump. There are lessons to be learnt from the fall and every one should be cautious.

    Trade safely with 16,500 in your minds for June 2009. That would be my prediction.

  • Now the Bulls will roar – Sensex Outlook after elections

    Now the Bulls will roar – Sensex Outlook after elections

    Now that every one knows what happened yesterday all of you people will be guessing what will happen to Sensex, the benchmark index. If you do not know; the Great Indian Elections that were held in four phases last month where the United Progressive Alliance, led by Congress won with majority defeating BJP and others who posed a threat on them.

    Given that Dalal street has a soft corner for Congress and vice – versa, the Sensex will gain more. From my earlier prediction, I said that Sensex will gain up to 15,000 levels by the end of the June. However looking at the volatility in the market, I will revise it to a more modest 13,800 levels. But I would also like to maintain that Sensex may cross the 14,200 mark and may even go up to 15,000 levels.

  • Sensex Prediction for May & June 2009

    Sensex Prediction for May & June 2009

    I predict the Benchmark Index of Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) to go up to 15,000 levels. This is based on the a small revival in the retail housing segment and the effect of the Government Stimulus Plan which has now showing the results.

    This prediction may fall back to 14,000 to a sub 13,400 levels if the BJP comes to the power or the a Government where the Left is a co – partner.

  • Market Prediction

    Market Prediction

    After a whole dull season, the sensex saw a big improvement yesterday, breaking estimates of a negative free fall. As I had predicted last time, it seems we are on path to be the first country to get rid of the recession thing.

    The US Markets closed the highest yesterday since 28th October last year, making me happier. The rise was attributed to the announcement of plans to Toxic Restructure of the economy. Trigger factors would be lesser today as compared to yesterday and markets may take a small dive, but do not expect it to tank suddenly to yesterday’s opening levels.

  • Sensex will tank: Sell Reliance to profit

    Sensex will tank: Sell Reliance to profit

    The sensex will tank today amid the growing speculation on the negative fallout of Obama’s stimulus package. Dow has fallen to 12 year record low.

    Reliance is expected to open on high as the news is spread about the brothers meeting hinting of a possible truce. There reports are just the rumours, however the two may meet on the platinum birthday celebration their mother, Kokilaben.

    If you see your Reliance share in profits, sell it.

  • Market Prediction: If Sensex crosses 11k, Markets can regain confidence.

    Market Prediction: If Sensex crosses 11k, Markets can regain confidence.

    The stock markets are going through the bitter pain due to the unpredictable market conditions where companies are announcing major cost cutting initiatives and stalling new project initiatives. Some of the market Industries would bounce in action owing to their immunity to the recessionary environment. There include the Entertainment, Consumer goods, Sugar, etc.

    Of course these alone could not bring up the market. But collectively, if the markets are able to pull off and breach the 11k mark, then it would be the good news. As the confidence in the market grows, so will the willingness of consumers to spend.

    This action will influence investment in Mutual Funds, and other allied products. The only demand for Mutual Funds today is for tax saving purpose where every tom, dick and harry are running here and there to make sure they get enough of these Mutual Funds to save tax.

    The interest of a common man now rests on the confidence in the Markets. As it is said in the heading, if Sensex manages to breach the 11k mark, then Markets will find more confidence in the Markets and the pessimism that currently is seen would get diluted.
