CAUGHT IN THE CROSS-FIRE OF JARGONS

By Ruma Dubey about 3 days ago
No image
There are so many jargons and sometimes, the common man is caught right in these war or words, literally, not knowing what to do. The biggest confusion right now is -cyclical and seasonal. Discerning analysts are currently recommending cyclical stocks and then there are some who say that it is best to buy into selective seasonal stocks. Then there are growth stocks and defensive stocks. And we thought we were buying only into stocks?

EVs – TAMIL NADU IS THE “GO-TO” PLACE

By Ruma Dubey about 4 days ago
No image
These big ticket investments apart, there are hundreds of start-ups coming up – right from auto components to ancillaries. This makes us wonder - why Tamil Nadu? Why not Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Karnataka or Maharashtra which also have EV policies in place?

RBI – REASSSURES “MAIN HOON NA”

By Ruma Dubey about 5 days ago

Reassuring the markets – that’s the most important message that we got from the RBI Governor, Shaktikanta Das’s speech today. A pragmatic policy, with commitment to maintain liquidity in the market, while ensuring that the borrowing cost remains lower for the Center, RBI has ticked all the boxes, under the current volatile circumstances.

INDIA POST – IT CAN BECOME THE BIGGEST BANK!

By Ruma Dubey about 6 days ago
No image
The significant aspect about India Post is that it is relevant even in today’s age of electronics and digital platforms, only on account of its small savings schemes. It offers some nine schemes - Post Office Savings Account, 5-Year Post Office Recurring Deposit Account, Post Office Time Deposit Account, Post Office Monthly Income Scheme Account, Senior Citizen Savings Scheme

CORONA STALKS DALAL STREET AGAIN

By Ruma Dubey about 7 days ago

The stock markets are reflecting this despondent mood of the people – listless. And this is how it is going to be over the next couple of weeks till the numbers actually show signs of abating. Yeah, no one likes reading negative news but then with so many “positives” going up, there is really no alternative.

MANUFACTURE OR INNOVATE?

By Ruma Dubey about 11 days ago

Ancient India was known for its thinking ability, its intelligence. Even in the modern world, it is our unique creation of yoga or Ayurveda, knowledge of spirituality which gave India the reckoning. Innovation, R&D used to be our forte and that is what we should reclaim and not aim to become the factory of the world.

ARCHEGOS –FAMILY OFFICES SPLIT WIDE OPEN

By Ruma Dubey about 12 days ago
No image
Almost every person we spoke to today first wanted to know what this “Archegos Capital” debacle was all about. And when we started explaining, the quick retort was, “Is this another Lehman crisis? Will it affect India?” That’s all – that’s the bottomline; if it impacts India then tell us the details or else, well, its ok not to know everything!

SUEZ - AA SU CHE?

By Ruma Dubey about 13 days ago
People who have never even been on a ship or even a small boat turned experts. Questions were being asked - Does this mean that the canals have to be widened? Do such large ships now need some change in the design to ensure that this never gets repeated? And more importantly, are there alternative routes?

PICTURE ABHI BAAKI HAI…..

By Ruma Dubey about 17 days ago

And this fear, the sense of anxiety, the insecurity over one’s health, the children’s safety, the income-flow, job security, all the things we took for granted in life is now so precious; living life itself seems like a miracle today. So, looking back and calling it an “anniversary” at this juncture, when the pandemic is very much still there, more virulent than last year, is pretty naïve.

THE HIGHWAY RATINGS – MOON CRATERS ONLY ON MOON NOW?

By Ruma Dubey about 18 days ago

So while we have tried to do everything possible to attract FDI into India, what we seemingly had no control over is the roads – the very delegates who visit sites used the same bumpy roads and wondered whether they were doing the right thing by investing in India.

SPACs- PACKING A PUNCH!

By Ruma Dubey about 20 days ago
No image
SPAC is the new buzzword in the business world and like the term “PE fund” which happened many years ago, this vehicle too is about helping fulfill the dreams of some entrepreneurs. That’s the altruistic view. But on a pure pragmatic level, it is about helping people with already a lot of money, make more money.

GET THE VITAMIN’s - D AND M

By Ruma Dubey about 21 days ago

Just as we change our clothes, food and general lifestyle to suit the needs of summer, it is a good idea to even relook at some of the stocks. Like summer clothes, there are surely summer stocks or should we say, ‘hot stocks’ to beat this heat? If monsoon is the season to buy pesticide and agriculture stocks, and winter is the season to buy almost everything, given the festive season, what stock does one buy in summer?

PSUs – MANY OF THEM HEADLESS CHICKENS!

By Ruma Dubey about 24 days ago
No Image
An enterprise running without a leader is like a household without a karta – everything goes haywire and that is what percolates down to the lowest level and thus the performance. And then it is said that PSUs are loss-making and are inefficient. What else will they be if this is the lackadaisical attitude to fill up the most important post?

US FED STAYS PUT, OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK

By Ruma Dubey about 25 days ago
No image
In a Press Conference following the Fed statement, the Jerome Powell reiterated that majority of the committee gave a thumbs down to a rate increase and said that the time to talk about reducing the central bank’s asset purchase was not yet there. Thus these two statements calmed many frayed nerves – everything will be in a status quo mode till there is sustainable recovery and the pandemic is left behind us.

STRIKING WHERE IT HURTS

By Ruma Dubey about 27 days ago
No image
Privatisation of any PSU is a contentious issue for any Govt as dealing with the trade unions is a huge hurdle. No one really wants to take this risk. The Govt this time has decided to take the plunge, which is why it wants to test the waters with two banks first. But it needs to get this right.

WHY IS THE MARKET FALLING?

By Ruma Dubey about 28 days ago
No image
On one hand, we see a stellar listing of MTAR Technologies, at a 85% premium to the IPO price and on the other, we see the broader market tank almost 800 points in the mid-session. The point is – if it were sentiments alone, a new listing does get impacted despite the fantastic response to the IPO and grey market premiums. Thus our inference – its opportunists going for profit taking.

IIP CONTRACTS, CPI EXPANDS

By Ruma Dubey about 1 month ago

The rising inflation and lower growth is worrisome. This indicates that some sectors did show growth but was not sustainable and probably was on account of a lower base effect. Maybe this is consolidation happening but the rising hydra-headed inflation is sure to put pressure on India Inc’s margins as the industry has still not got the pricing power back

FRENZY OF IPOs – IT’S A GOLD RUSH!

By Ruma Dubey about 1 month ago
No image
All these IPOs have one thing in common – the subscription is huge and that means listing gains are bound to be huge too. The state of IPO subscription and the listing gains move in tandem. We do not cover the Grey Market but that is trend too – higher the premium in the Grey Market, naturally, higher is the listing.

HARYANA – SCORED A SELF-GOAL!

This is really a storm in a tea cup. Reservation and waivers are two favourite words of politicians. Use these words and you are sure to win elections; almost like a magic mantra; chant, chant, chant it all the way and all the time and glory comes to you!

PARLIAMENT – ONLY AND ONLY POLITICS

By Ruma Dubey about 1 month ago

Obviously, with so much happening on the political front, no constructive debate is expected to happen and like always, the Finance Bill will get passed without even a whimper or a voice of protest. There are some 25 other Bills too but all are likely to get passed on to the next session.
