Sensex at 19K: What to do now??
2007-10-15 16:03:00
Who would have believed if somebody said that sensex would close at 19K 4 days ago. But that is exactly what has happened. Sensex closed above 19K today to close at 19058.67!! But what should people like you and me do at this point? Should we invest more in stock markets at this point or sell or adopt a wait and watch policy. I think it is a good time to take a long and hard look at your portfolio. Stocks that have given you consistent returns need to seperated from the ones that have been rolling just in this bull market. Now the risks are a lot higher so you need to careful and not over invest. I think profit booking to some extent, atleast the trading bets, would be a good idea. Who said stock trading or investment was easy?

Udayan Mukherjee's Analysis of the P-Notes Issue
2007-10-20 07:40:00
"The stock market reaction to the P-note draft is unambiguous. The Finance Minister may wish it away by ascribing it to rumours but all of us know the real reason for this selloff. Every investor fears that our market could be robbed of the big dollar trigger if this draft were to become law. The fears are not unfounded. While the regulator and the Finance Minister have been glibly proclaiming that P-notes have not been banned, the product has essentially been killed. Sure, small shuffles and marginal flows can happen but the P-note is history, if this draft were to come through. The genesis of this whole move is the rupee. On that score the Finance ministry should have all our sympathy. The rupee is a problem for the country. At this rate it will kill many industries, render lakhs jobless and may have deep economic ramifications. No Finance minister can want that. Yet, this is an inevitable fallout of a rapidly growing economy. The solution cannot lie in controlling flows of global ca

What is Short Selling?
2007-10-21 11:58:00
What is short-selling? Short -selling, in the context of the stock market, is the practice where an investor sells shares that he does not own at the time of selling them. He sells them in the hope that the price of those shares will decline, and he will profit by buying back those shares at a lower price. In India, there is no prohibition on short-selling by retail investors. Institutional investors —domestic mutual funds and foreign institutional investors registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), banks and insurance companies — are prohibited from short-selling and are mandatorily required to settle on the basis of deliveries of securities owned and held by them. How is short-selling beneficial? Short-selling is considered an essential feature of the securities market not just for providing liquidity, but also for helping price corrections in over valued stocks. Supporters of short-selling claim its absence distort efficient price discovery, gives promote


Bottomfish in this market?
2007-10-21 11:54:00
Should you be lapping up good stocks at the current levels? Markets have corrected by almost 8% in the last 4 trading sessions. Most of the good stocks have been down between 10-20%. Should you then buy in the current market? Indiabulls Securities’ CEO Divyesh Shah says, “If you are holding a good stock in your portfolio, keep it. It is not advisable to bottomfish in these markets. From what we see now, volatility is so high, it wouldn’t take even five minutes to wipe out a sizeable portfolio. Maintain status quo would be my advice to clients,” Mr Shah added. I agree with this sentiment completely. Unless the FM gives some clarity on the P-Notes issue the uncertainty might continue with FII selling off majorly. But there is a strong argument against this as well. Since the fundamentals are still the same this is only a short term blip and investors can use this opportunity to pick up stocks from a long term perspective.

Bulls fail to stir some bluechips
2007-11-11 02:24:00
The stock market is breathing octane these days. The Sensex has clocked new records as the indices attained new heights, but amidst the fireworks there still exist some losers — which remained untouched by the great euphoria witnessed in the Indian stock markets over the last 20 months. Yes, you are right. We are talking about the laggards who remained bearish even as the bull raced ahead on Dalal Street from February 8, 2006 when Sensex for the first time touched 10K to October 29, 2007 when it touched the historic figure of 20K. The majors from the BSE 100 which ended up gasping during the period include Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL, -23% ), Glaxosmithkline Pharmaceuticals (-19%), Hero Honda Motors (-16%), Cipla (-14%), Bharat Forge (-13%), Indian Oil Corporation (- 13%), Patni Computer Systems (-11%), Tata Tea (-3%) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (-2%). Analysts believe that there isn't just a singular justification for why they didn't click when every other companies s


Shares set to rise further in 2008: JPMorgan
2007-11-11 02:21:00
Stock markets in India are expected to rise further next year but at a slower pace as high valuations and a fall in corporate profit growth limit gains, analysts at JPMorgan said. The Mumbai market's benchmark index is expected to rise to 22,500 points by the end of next year, up 16 per cent from Tuesday's close of 19,400.67. The index has gained nearly 15 per cent in October, its biggest monthly gain in almost four years, taking its rise this year to 40 per cent. It had gained 47 per cent last year and 42 per cent in 2005. Bharat Iyer, head of research at JPMorgan in India, said corporate profits, which had grown 25-30 a year for the past three years, would slow from a high base. "You have challenges in the form of rupee appreciation, volatility in interest rates, etc. So you expect earnings growth to structurally slow down. "It's still very attractive in absolute terms at 19-20 percent, but the fact of the matter is that you are coming down from 30 percent to 19-20 per cent, which

To top that, it is also the 16th most expensive shopping location in the world.

Khan Market, whose rentals have gone up by 35.7% from Rs 700 per sq ft per month in 2006 to Rs 950 in the quarter ended June 2007, became the 16th most expensive shopping location in the world — ahead of Tverskaya in Moscow and Wanfujing in Beijing.

Investors flock to mid-cap counters
2007-12-15 11:31:00
Mid and small-cap shares remained in focus on Friday, as investors continued to mine the broader market in search of value bets. With the valuations of frontline shares perceived to be stretched, investors restricted activity in this segment to a few, resulting in equity benchmarks closing marginally lower in a listless trade on Friday. The Sensex closed at 20,030.83, down 73.56 points, or 0.37%. Nifty ended at 6,047.70, down 10.4 points, or 0.17%. In the broader market, the small and mid-cap indices rose 1-2%. Gainers led losers at 2,082:830 on BSE, indicating that the bullish streak is intact. Analysts and fund managers said investors are lapping up mid- and small-cap shares because many of them trade at a discount in valuation to their frontline counterparts. "Mid-caps are now trading at a 20-25% discount to large caps, the highest over the past 4 years. Therefore, the trend witnessed in November, where benchmark indices declined while the broader market indices outperformed, may
