FOCUS ON INFLATION OR ELSE PAY HIGH PRICE OF DEPRESSION

HAWKISH OR DOVISH IS THE QUESTION

WHAT DRIVES THE MARKET?

about 6 years ago

Why is it that when the markets are down, only that time, all the negative news which as such was always there, somehow gets a life of its own, like a multi-headed hydra? Is it that the poor markets are because of the negative news or is it that the negative news gains dominance because markets are negative?

FALLING MARKETS, RISING OPPORTUNITIES

about 6 years ago

The markets have plunged today. The BSE is down over a 1000-points and the NSE is down over 280-points. It’s the first day of the week and the punters do not know where to run for cover. But then, if the markets had galloped upwards relentlessly, these kind of down’s to catch the breath is a good thing.

RBI – SENSIBLE ECONOMICS

about 6 years ago

While remaining aggressively accommodative without cutting rates, RBI did a very good job. Clearly, RBI has time-and-again showed us during this pandemic that it has so many more tools; tinkering with the interest rate is just one of them and need not be the whole and soul of the policy decisions.

STIMULUS 3.0 – MUCH BETTER AND FOCUSSED

MAKING THE MONEY GO LONG….

about 5 years ago

Why do people invest their surplus money in real estate and gold? Yes, it is the most lucrative, highest return option. And that is because these two – realty and gold moves with inflation.

BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT

about 5 years ago

Well, all must be hunky dory for all those who had panicked over the past few days, running from pillar to post, anxious that the market’s floor was falling off completely. Where are they now?

DEFICIT OF TRUST DESTROYS FARM LAW

about 5 years ago

The main bone of contention was that the farmers would be made into rookies in the hands of the corporates and they will lose whatever little they were getting in through the Minimum Selling Price (MSP).

Even after 30 years, the farmers do not have an iota of trust on the Indian companies as they feel that they will be exploited, left high and dry.

GLASS HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY?

about 4 years ago

The rising CPI for Sept and the falling IIP for Aug – none of these were unexpected or out-of-the-blue news. We all knew that the rains have been patchy and erratic, we all are paying much more for food than what we did last year and overall, we all have been affected, in a small or big way, by the higher cost of living. We might not have had to cut down on expenses as such but surely most of us do have a rethink

RBI POLICY – THIS ONE IS NOT ABOUT INTEREST RATES!

about 7 years ago

More than the actual policy statement, the additional Statement on Developmental and Regulatory Policies was the moot – it was almost like a mini-Budget, with the RBI finally stepping up with sops for the realty, auto and MSMEs. Like the odd 35 bps rate cut, RBI Governor, Shaktikanta Das has once again showed that he does the unexpected and loves to spring surprises!

HONG KONG – CHINA SHOWS IT IS THE KING KONG!

about 6 years ago

2020 is the Chinese year of the rat and looks like China is being the exactly that. Creating a ruckus pretty much all over the world, what it did yesterday was downright sneaky. Though there was talk of the new National Security Law soon becoming a reality in Hong Kong, what it did was, well, very China-like.

BOEING BRINGS BACK THE FEAR OF FLYING

about 8 years ago

One does not know, at this point of time, when this ban will be lifted. Boeing has said that it is updating its software but that alone might not be sufficient. Maybe a report after a full investigation is the only way this crisis could come to an end.

FALLING RUPEE AND CROUCHING MARKETS

RBI KEEPS RATES UNCHANGED - THIS WAS OUT-OF-THE-BOX!

about 8 years ago

This policy maintaining a status quo is the best thing to have done as given the global headwinds currently, there is an urgent need to repair domestic macro economics. A rate hike at this juncture would have depressed the demand further, more so during the festive season.

SOME REASON FOR CHEER?

about 8 years ago

Not a single food product is over 3% with vegetables index actually in the negative at -4.15% and fruits at 1%. Somehow, we do not experience this when we go to buy fruits and vegetables? Inflation is steady but why are we not experiencing this on the ground?

FALLING MARKET – UPLIFTING TIME FOR LT BARGAIN HUNTERS!

about 8 years ago

Why is it that when the markets are down consistently, bad and only bad news seems to come out from every nook and corner.

0.5% GROWTH! IS THAT GROWTH AT ALL??

about 8 years ago

Last Nov, growth was fantastic where growth was over 8% and with that kind of a base effect, naturally, expectations were low. But it was surely a shocker to see an IIP of 0.5% v/s 8.1% (MoM) for Nov!

42% INDIA FACING DROUGHT? WHAT? OF COURSE NOT!!

about 8 years ago

We are not yet truly into full blown summer yet; it has just about started. There are two more months to go before raingods come calling.

FMCG – HUL SPELLS OUT THE TRAJECTORY

about 6 years ago

During this entire crisis on Corona, it is the FMCG stocks, along with pharma which have been holding their steed. Buying of essentials included groceries and foodstuff and people have been buying more than needed. Thus the perception is that come what may, these FMCGs are the winners in this pandemic and they will emerge pretty much unscathed.

THE GAP IS ONLY WIDENING

about 8 years ago

That’s a perfect example of how crony capitalism works in India. And that is also precisely why oligarchs are on the rise in India. In fact before the Ambani brothers made it to the “Forbes richest” rich, did we even know there existed such a list?

RBI DOES THE EXPECTED; SO DOES THE MARKET!

about 7 years ago

With inflation remaining in check, this rate cut clearly sends the message across that RBI too is concerned about growth. The market was not expected to rally on this 25 bps rate cut as this was already discounted for, which is why we saw the market falling further after the RBI announcement.

FALLING MARKET, BUYING OPPORTUNITY?

about 7 years ago

TINA – MAKING EQUITY LOOK LIKE “MISS INDIA!”

about 9 years ago

TINA is indeed the most popular today, especially on the Street. An opportunist, TINA’s birth is a play of circumstances. And sometimes because there is simply no alternate or competition, even the most mediocre one shines like a bright star. That’s precisely why TINA is the star today.

Sterlite Inds in the red

Sterlite Industries is currently the top loser on the BSE, down 3.4% at Rs.90.50 very close to its 52-week low at Rs.88.60. Its intra day low is at Rs.89.15. The stock is down after the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board yesterday ordered closure of the company’s copper smelter unit on ...

THE CHASM BETWEEN SUPER RICH AND ‘OTHERS’ GROWS

about 9 years ago

That’s a perfect example of how crony capitalism works in India. And that is also precisely why oligarchs are on the rise in India. In fact before the Ambani brothers made it to the “Forbes richest” rich, did we even know there existed such a list? We knew only of a Ford car, no rich list! But today, Indians making it to the list is so routine.

HAVE WE ENTERED THE “ELECTION YEAR?”

about 9 years ago

It looks like we have now entered the ‘election year.’ Last time around, the elections were held from 7th April till 14th May and the results were declared on 16th May. Based on the assumption that the time frame for 2019 would be around the same dates, we are more or less, a year away from a new political picture emerging.

Q4FY13 GDP - NEITHER A SHOCKER NOR A SURPRISE

about 14 years ago

The Q4FY13 GDP at 4.8% was neither a big surprise nor a big shocker. It was very much on the expected lines. Growth for FY13 came in at 5% v/s 6.2% in FY12, which is exactly what it should have been given the performance of the

SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS - A REASON FOR CELEBRATION

about 14 years ago

Week after week, we talk about capitalistic pursuits so this week, the thought was to look at some people who could have become big in corporate world, earned bags of money but they chose to work, use their education for the benefit of others. Dedicating one's life to the poor and downtrodden is probably the highest form of spiritualism,

NEW BANKING LICENSE - TEXTURE OF INDIAN BANKING TO CHANGE

about 14 years ago

Well, how would it feel to walk into an L&T Bank or Reliance Bank or even Shriram Bank in the next few months? Or maybe you are using an Airtel mobile to complete transactions with your Bharti Bank. How does it sound - living in an Indiabulls home and banking also with Indiabulls? Surely, banking in India will undergo a sea change over the next few months!

MARKET AWAITS THE THREE "I" - INFOSYS , IIP & INFLATION

about 14 years ago

Tomorrow is a big day for the markets; like it has been happenings on many occasions, the much awaited Q4 and FY13 numbers from Infosys are scheduled to be announced. This in a way officially marks the beginning of the "results season" much like the green shoots heralding the onset of spring.

MARUTI FY13 NUMBERS - REFLECTS INDEED THE WAY OF LIFE!

RBI CREDIT POLICY - A NO-NONSENSE, HARD HITTING POLICY

about 14 years ago

Yesterday itself RBI had made its intentions pretty clear. The extremely hawkish macro report published by RBI indicated that it continues to remains concerned about retail inflation and the rising current account deficit. It stated without ambiguity that interest rates cannot be the primary

COBRAPOST, NEPOTISM, CBI - NOT DAAL MEIN KAALA, ENTIRE DAAL IS BLACK!

Fast and furious. That's the pace of the worms coming out of the rotten can. It used to be one scam per week, then per day but now it looks like, its scam every hour!

THE PHENOMENAL RISE OF THE MARKETS

about 14 years ago

The phenomenal rise of the markets today has left everyone totally stunned. The BSE has galloped over 500 points and the NSE surged over 150 points. BSE and Nifty ended at highest level since January 2011. Bank Nifty is at 30-month high. The BSE Realty index is up over 4% and the

BERNANKE GIVES THE BATON - MARKETS RUNS LIKE MILKHA SINGH!

about 13 years ago

Till yesterday the moods were despondent, lackluster but suddenly today, there is a turnaround, all because Bernanke said that Fed's easy-money policy is still necessary as jobs market remains weak and inflation remains too low for comfort. Well, market is celebrating and rejoicing this statement. Sorry to pop the balloon but the fact still remains that Fed will start tapering Quantitative Easing (QE) by the end of the year.

MAY IIP HAS A GREAT FALL - WHO WILL PUT IT ALL TOGETHER AGAIN?

about 13 years ago

So we have alarmingly falling growth rates, manufacturing sector declining at a faster pace, exports also dipping and to top it all off, CPI has zoomed up further. Thus the seams from all ends of the cloth seem to be tearing off, leaving us wide open and vulnerable. With growths sagging and inflation zooming, clearly, RBI needs to do

WHY MARKET IS NOT JUBILANT ABOUT FDI CAP REFORMS?

about 13 years ago

The first and foremost reason - foreign investors did not need convincing about the potential of India but they do not need a lot of convincing about such decisions seeing the light of the day. Also, the Govt seems to be in a tearing hurry to push through biog ticket reforms

TO CATCH A FALLING KNIFE WITH A RAZOR'S EDGE...

about 13 years ago

One need not be a stock market specialist to say that bears seem to holding the markets in a tight grip. Moods remain despondent with no major positive trigger at sight. Yet, even when there is a sense of hopelessness on Dalal Street, many are on the prowl, looking for bargains. Call them scavengers or whatever, they buy every time there is a carnage; they scavenge through the rubble, looking for a good bargain.

THE ROLE OF RBI GOVERNOR - RIGHT IN THE LIMELIGHT

about 13 years ago

Till a few years ago, the appointment or retirement of a RBI Governor was small news, mentioned in a small column on the first page of the newspapers. Later it was announced in the news when Doordarshan came into being. But so much fanfare, so much analysis, making it "breaking news" this is something

TRYING TO CURE THE FEVER WITHOUT DIAGNOSING THE CAUSE

about 13 years ago

By the way, a quick truth - the markets on Friday crashed 769 points and it was largely blamed on FIIs. But the truth is that on that day, FIIs sold only Rs.563 crore worth of shares. So how could that have caused this massive fall? Net institutional selling activity, which includes FII and domestic institutional investors was at a paltry Rs.73 crore. Does this not mean that our very own traders, retail investors

Q1FY14 GDP - MILESTONE TO MORE PAIN AHEAD

about 13 years ago

The coming months and quarter could get even worse as all action by the govt is now only on populist, social spend and less on industry. All measures are focused on only FDI but what about the domestic industry growth? Can FDI alone today help us grow? When you go to Big Bazaar, over 80% goods that you see there are 'Made in China'. So we also need to sit down and think as to where we are headed

HAUNTING BY PLEDGED SHARES - NIGHTMARE ON DALAL STREET

about 13 years ago

Pledged shares are indeed an indication of the financial health of the company. More the promoters stake pledged, higher is the liquidity crunch and turbulent financials. And looks like things are getting worse on the pledge shares front. At end of FY13, the value of pledged shares reached Rs.1.4 lakh crore and this meant that one in every five company had some percentage or the other their promoters stake pledged.

DON'T BRING OUT THE CHAMPAGNE - JUST NOT YET

about 13 years ago

What drives the sentiments? Now that is the big question. Today, we are very happy because after a long time, like a parched man sighting an oasis, we have seen a leader of some caliber. Suave, well spoken and young, he is like a messiah today. Apart from his academic achievements, the way he spoke, with so much clarity and hope, with a vision for the future and all this with authority, truly warmed the heart

THE POLITICS OF DOING BUSINESS ABROAD

about 14 years ago

If that is true, if FII and FDI money is required to boost the GDP, how come, Maldives, whose population is 0.03%of India, did not care about 'hurting' sentiments when it very unceremoniously showed the door to GMR? But at the same time, when India is putting every other decision on the backburner, concentrating only on FDI, one needs to wonder whether, we will ever have the gumption to show a foreign company the door because the people were being overcharged?

IS FDI THE ONLY WAY TO "ECONOMIC REFORM"?

about 14 years ago

One thread running common through most big bang reforms is - FDI. And this raises a big question - are today reforms only about FDI and only through FDIs? So are we confusing reforms with foreign investments? Or is it because there simply is nothing else which can be done?

First Winner Industries: WISDOM OF SBI IN GIVING Rs 207 CRORE

about 13 years ago

SBI released an ad on 12th October 2013, for notice of Defaulter Director/Guarantor by Mr. Rinku Patodia and Ms. Anita Patodia, with respect to 4 private companies related to BSE-listed First Winner Industries, with defaults aggregating Rs. 142 crore plus interest. A deeper digging into the facts of the case leads one to questions the wisdom of SBI in granting these financial facility.

MANN KI BAAT HURTS THE MARKET

about 10 years ago

On Christmas Day, PM addressed the nation on the radio, through his monthly "Mann ki baat" and this has spooked the marketmen completely. The very same traders who praised Modi for his 'bold' demonetization move were today seen criticizing him, questioning his objectives, asking the purpose behind the note ban, with some even wondering if he had gone cuckoo! Only reason for this complete loss of faith - the PM in his speech apparently 'hinted' at Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) taxes. What he actually said was - tax collection

RAJAN - HIS SECOND TERM CREATES SPECULATION

about 11 years ago

There no debate here. Anyone with a sane mind knows that the decision is a no-brainer. What is the suspense in Raghuram Rajan, the RBI Governor, getting an extension for another three years? Of course he will! Till the comment of "one-eyed King" everyone was certain that the Governor, doing such a wonderful job in an otherwise chaotic time, there was no ambiguity that Rajan will get extension for a second term.

NO MORE “GREAT INDIAN FESTIVAL SALES?”

about 8 years ago

The revised norms are aimed at protecting the interest of domestic players, who have to face tough competition from e-retailers having deep pockets from foreign investors. This revision in norms was apparently at the behest of small vendors who had complained about the predatory pricing

UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME – REPLACEMENT OF FARM LOAN WAIVERS?

about 8 years ago

The first time ever, farm loan waiver was brought in by Janata Dal Govt in 1990, led by the then PM, VP Singh. The amount was Rs.10,000 crore. And then the gargantuan farm loan waiver was announced by the UPA Govt of Rs.60,000 crore, which helped them win the elections.

ECONOMIC SURVEY FY20 – PERFECT IN AN IDEAL WORLD

about 7 years ago

The Economic Survey was tabled in the Parliament today and its key themes all rung the right notes. It said all that we wanted to hear – employment, agriculture growth, water conservation, investments, exports. It says all the right things but what does it mean to you and me apart from a “feel good” factor? Realistically speaking, not much.

GST - KEEPING IT SIMPLE!

about 10 years ago

GST will come soon, one day for sure! Online retailing is the "next big thing" in India. Put both of these together and what do you get? Surely, logistic companies are set for some boom times ahead. Stocks like Gati, AllCargo, Snowman, Gateway Distriparks, Container Corp and the entire pack is already soaring. Indeed they are looking at much better times, beyond being just oil containers

GST BILL - JUBILANT VICTORY OF DEMOCRACY

about 10 years ago

The biggest trigger that we all were waiting for is finally come and gone. And the market behaved as predicted - profit booking after the build-up for so many months and years. It is like the market saying, "Oh well, it's done! What's next?" But through all this, more than the actual passing of the GST Bill, what was extremely fascinating was the entire debate in the Rajya Sabha yesterday. The way in which the ministers presented t

THE TALE OF AN 8-YEAR OLD ORPHAN

about 10 years ago

Once upon a time....there is actually no "once upon a time" here; this is a story of today, now. Sudhir is an eight year old orphan, living with some of his relatives in a small village in Begusarai, Bihar. Last week, while India was getting ready to celebrate its 70 Independence day, he was extremely worried. He had to raise

URJIT PATEL IS NEW GOVERNOR - NO URJA IN THE MARKET

about 10 years ago

So the market and all of us thought that the Modi Govt, after the non-extension of Raghuram Rajan's RBI Governor tenure would get in a "Yes" man, who will just be a figurehead, a rubber stamp, or should we say, a signatory on the Indian rupee notes. What we have instead is a very independently thinking man, a person who closely worked with Rajan and is well respected and recognized in the financial world.

1ST ESTIMATE OF GDP - NOT THE GUIDING STAR FOR FY18 BUDGET

about 10 years ago

The GDP data which was published by the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) on Friday was meaningless to say the least. It has considered data for the first eight months and demonetization happened in the 11th month. Thus the GDP number did not take into account the impact of something

DRAGHI DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!

He has proposed unlimited bond buying from the troubled European nations and hopes to bring down interest rates and thus lower nations' borrowing costs. But this comes with some strings attached - as this is essentially about rescuing Spain,

Q3FY12 - WHAT TO EXPECT OR BEST, EXPECT NOTHING!

about 15 years ago

Last fiscal Q3FY11 held more promise and more than sustainability, it was about good growth. But this fiscal, Q3, especially after a not-so-good Q2 and interest regime and falling rupee, does not paint an overall good picture. A trim to the topline growth and surely a hair cut for the bottomline growth seems inevitable...

RISING RUPEE, FALLING PESSIMISM

about 15 years ago

In a just little time over a month, the rupee is up from Rs.53.71 to Rs.49.49 currently, an appreciation of Rs.4.22/US dollar. It is currently the best performing currency in Asia.

Q4FY12 - MARKET WAITS FOR THE TRIGGER

about 15 years ago

But we are now looking at Q4FY12 and FY12. And how does it look? Rating agency CRISIL put out a report and it has given a 'tepid" outlook for Q4FY12. It expects India Inc to show a decline of 200-250 bps in EBITDA margins while it has projected revenue growth at around 15% v/s 25.5% in Q4FY11.

TO CUT OR NOT TO CUT IS THE QUESTION....

about 15 years ago

There are always two sides to the coin. So on one hand, economists are of the view that a rate cut at this juncture is not justified on economic grounds. And on the other, industrialists give two hoots to inflation and say that it is high time Dr.Rao shifted his focus to growth rates.

COPPER - THERMOMETER OF GLOBAL ECONOMY?

about 15 years ago

Copper, the ubiquitous reddish metal is all important. Being omnipresent all around us, this metal is stated to be the indicator of the true economic state. When the economy is booming, copper prices zoom and demand is high and vice versa when it is in recession. The red metal goes under the moniker of "Dr Copper"

RBI POLICY - PAINTS A BLEAK OUTLOOK

about 14 years ago

RBI has been sending the message loud and clear for some time now to the Govt - get into action. But the Govt, deaf as usual, does not seem to be bothered, living in its fool's paradise as the people of India suffer a nightmare. But today's extremely hawkish statement by the RBI Governor, should hopefully wake up the comatose Govt

DEBATE - ONLY ON TV CHANNELS AND NOT IN PARLIAMENT?

about 14 years ago

The magic word for solving any issue is "talk". And looks like this is one advice, like many others, falling on deaf ears when it comes to the Govt - be it the Opposition or the ruling party. The BJP is right in demanding answers but not listening when the Prime Minister is trying to speak is downright immature.

SAHARA GROUP - ALL DOES NOT SEEM WELL

about 14 years ago

Interestingly, its group company, Sahara India Commercial Corporation in 2009, issued shares to its 2.6 million shareholders. This meant, after RIL and Reliance Power, it had the third largest base of shareholders. Why did it then not get listed? Because that would mean transparency and would involve corporate governance issues?

CHEAP CHINESE LOANS - NEED TO BUILD A GREAT INDIAN WALL

about 13 years ago

But there is an ominous trend around these "cheap" loans. These loans are coming as a "packaged" deal. Anil Ambani, in the real sense, started the trend - he was amongst the first to borrow huge money from China, not once but twice. The first time was in 2011 when Ambani needed $1.9 billion to fund his 3G needs for Rcom. The loan came underwritten from China Development Bank and it was recorded

Q2FY14 GDP - NO FIREWORKS BUT AT LEAST NO DEGROWTH

about 13 years ago

This week marks the beginning of the earning season for Q4FY18. Q2 and Q3 were pretty stable, what with the disruption of demon and GST earlier. And now we have Q4 where there is murmur of more weakness that strength in the numbers.

FY18 BEGINS WITH A BIG BANG – LET’S KEEP THE SAME SPIRIT ALIVE!

about 10 years ago

Today was the first day of FY18 and what a day it has been! The BSE is “Oh! So close!” to the 30,000-mark and the NSE too hit a record high and 10,000 does not seem too far away. It is like as though the market wants to convey to the world – be it 1st Jan or 1st April, Indian markets are on a high!

WHAT TRIGGERS THE MARKET?

about 11 years ago

To say that the markets are behaving extremely Quixotic is being polite. The wild ups and downs, and sometimes the complete listless trading makes one run around to find reasons. Earlier, it was the other way round - we analyzed the fundamental and macro economic factors and then predicted the way markets would behave the next day. Now, to some extent the same ways hold true but given the way in which Japan, E

Q4FY16 GDP - SUPER DUPER NUMBER!

about 11 years ago

Even while Q4FY16 numbers from India Inc continued to send shock waves, with more companies showing a loss and degrowth than profits and growth, these GDP numbers for Q4FY16 have been a true chart buster. Banks are in losses, rural consumption is poor and IIP too has been bad. Yet, this robust GDP number comes in,

WHY SO MUCH HYPE AND HOOPLA OVER RBI GOVERNOR ROLE?

about 10 years ago

Do you ever remember watching, reading or hearing so much about the appointment of a new RBI Governor? Or for that matter, about how the entire nation was disappointed that Rajan's tenure will not be extended post September'16. Times have indeed changed. And this change is for the good. Maybe we are aping the western world but this is a "good"

ROLLOUT OF GST - WILL IT GET THE GO-AHEAD THIS SESSION?

about 10 years ago

The monsoon session has begun and the PM has been saying very optimistic things about the Bill getting through in this session. And about time too! GST will come soon, one day for sure! Online retailing is the current "big thing" in India. Put both of these together and what do you get? Surely, logistic companies are set for some boom times ahead. A mere nod from the Cabinet for GST had sent stocks like Gati, AllCargo, Snowman, Gateway

ECONOMIC SURVEY FY17 – SETS THE ROADMAP FOR BUDGET FY18

about 10 years ago

The Economic Survey has been tabled today, following the tradition of presenting this important financial document a day before the Union Budget. This document is basically an annual statement which is put together by the Finance Ministry of India, showcasing the economic development during the course of the year. The draft of the survey is prepared by Department of Economic Affairs and cleared by Chief economic Advisor and the secretary Economic Affairs.

AGRI YIELD AND SOWING - WHEN DATA COLLECTED IS QUESTIONABLE

about 10 years ago

The bountiful harvest of the kharif season was eclipsed by demonetization and the farmers were left with grains but no one to buy as cash itself was in short supply. We had proof of this in the CPI numbers of December, which at 3.41% was the lowest since November 2014. This was on the back of food inflation which came in at 1.07% v/s 2.03%

OLYMPICS - ECONOMIC IMPACT

about 14 years ago

The big question is - does hosting Olympics really boost the economy? First let us look at the benefits. This is segregated into three sections - before the Games, during the Games and after the Games. Before the Games will obviously be the benefit of building the infrastructure

POLITICAL FUNDING – GETS MORE MURKY THAN TRANSPARENT

about 10 years ago

When it comes to getting the black money out of the people of India, the Govt was so clear and left no stone unturned. But when it comes to its own funding policies, it has chosen to give itself a special status, going from transparent to opaque. The FM in his Budget FY18 speech had said very eloquently that he wanted to make the process of political funding transparent.

GRILLED QUESTIONS WITH CHEESE AND EXTRA BUTTER… ANYONE?

about 10 years ago

This happens to us so many times. We have bought a stock and when you purchased it, you obviously were convinced it is the best stock to own. But over a period of time, you see that the numbers are slipping. At that time, you have so many questions in your mind but do you ever think of going to the AGM

about 11 years ago

Hindalco, Adani Power, EID parry, VST Industries, NTPC, Gail, Just Dial, Lakshmi Machine and many more. Some 33 stocks in the BSE-500 have hit new lows. Midcap stocks hitting new low exceed the large cap. Most of the names appearing in the list have two points in common - either

MARKETS GO HIGH AND HIGH – DO WE JUST STAND AND SIGH?

about 9 years ago

One would actually think that the news of a lower GDP never really came! Or as analysts always say, “market had already discounted the fall and is now looking ahead!” Is that what this new high of the market all about –discounting of all bad events and already looking ahead at a much robust picture?

CABINET RESHUFFLE – NO OLD WINE IN NEW BOTTLE; COMPLETELY NEW WINE AND BOTTLE!

about 9 years ago

Sunday would have been a very busy day for Modi even as we all had a very relaxed day of nothingness but the usual chores. This Cabinet reshuffle surely cocked a snook at the entire media – no one even in their wildest dreams or even in their production of ‘fake news’ could have even imagined that Modi would make a woman in charge of defence.

REALLY, IS MUMBAI LIVEABLE ANYMORE?

about 9 years ago

Mumbai. Oh, please stop calling it the “city of dreams” or “maximum city!” And let’s not even mention in a low whisper, about the “spirit of Mumbaikars” who continued with life after the man-made tragedy at Elphinstone Road station. Spirit??? It is compulsion; those alive have to continue working for a living

DIVERGENCE IN BAD LOANS – HUGE DEFICIT OF TRUST

about 9 years ago

GOING GLOBAL IS NOT LIKE SELLING LEMONADES!

about 9 years ago

Two events have happened today which make us wonder at the perils of doing business abroad. First, the Adani group must be having some sleepless nights, right since the time that it signed up for the coal mining project in Australia. This project has been mired in controversy ever since the time it was put on paper, mainly its threat to the environment. It has been in the making since 2010 and the cost is pegged at $4 billion.

BANKS ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL

about 9 years ago

Over the past few days there has been a quiet but boiling rage increasing amongst so many people we spoke to. Talk about “bank charges” and everyone has a very strong opinion but all voice in unison one thing – the banks are looting us to pay for the largesse’s of the businessmen.

INDIA IS FASTEST GROWING ECONOMY IN THE WORLD……

about 9 years ago

Looks like the demon of demonetization and GST is far, far behind us; at least that is what the Q3GDP numbers indicates. In fact we are doing so well that we have surpassed the growth rate of China and believe it or not, we are the fastest growing economy in the world. India’s GDP for Q3FY18 rose 7.2% v/s 6.3% in Q2 and up from the 3-year low of 5.7% in Q1.

PLEDGED SHARES - STANDING ON THE EDGE OF A HIGH LEDGE

about 9 years ago

When you start selling your family gold and silver, especially when all know that you are otherwise leveraged to the hilt and are facing a tight liquidity crunch, surely it means that you have hit rock bottom, as far as your financials are concerned. That is how we view things in personal day-to-day life.

SALE! SALE! SALE! MANY GOOD STOCKS HIT NEW LOWS

Take a look at the stocks which have hit a new 52-week low today. Adani Ports, Axis Bank, Bharti Airtel, Bank of Baroda, BASF, Bosch, ICICI Bank, Idea, IDFC, Nestle, SKF, PFC, REC, TCS and many more. And check out the list of stocks hitting new highs today - no stock worth mentioning as majority are penny stocks, small and very fundamentally challenged midcap stocks.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF INDIA's OLIGARCHS

about 11 years ago

Oligarch is a word coined during the Soviet Union era. It referred to a person who is part of a small group that runs a country, obviously a very rich person. Resonates very much in the Indian context too? Take a cursory look at most of the billionaire Indians - they all, in one way or the other have derived their wealth from land, natural resources or Govt contracts and licenses.

MARKETS WILL DANCE TO THE TUNE OF DATA IN JANUARY

about 13 years ago

January promises to be an action packed month; what we see now could be just the lull before the storm. It's the beginning of a new calendar year and the FIIs are also yet to return back in full vigor. But realistically speaking, that happening right now, given the tapering and the uncertain political environment

MARKETS ON A DREAM RUN - PANIC BUTTONS WHICH MIGHT TRIGGER NIGHTMARES

about 12 years ago

The market is having a dream run, with stocks scaling new highs. Yet there is a quiet sense of disquiet. A feeling that all could come crashing down. At times when there is fear lurking at the back of one's mind, it is always best to stay prepared

PSUs - PERSONAL FIEFDOM'S OF GOVT?

about 13 years ago

What is bothersome is that the Govt has arm twisted cash-PSUs to declare interim dividends, irrespective if whether they can afford it or no. There were a lot of voices of discontent, stating that diverting precious cash to pay off dividend would mean lesser money for future capex. Like Coal India, which declared a hefty Rs.29/share interim dividend. For this PSU, the total out-go from the company was Rs.18,317.46 crore

Q4FY14 - A MIXED BAG OF SWEETS, NAMKEENS AND KARELAS!

about 13 years ago

This time around, surprisingly, it is not Infosys but CMC which will bring in the numbers on 14th though small cap companies like Chemfab Alkalis and Goa Carbon, as usual, take the lead, being always amongst the first. Actually GM Breweries was the first to have declared its Q4 numbers. Infosys will remain the first large cap company to declare its numbers on 15th while IndusInd Bank will also follow the tradition of being the first bank to present its earnings.

RBI DOES THE EXPECTED - MAINTAINS STATUS QUO ON RATES

about 13 years ago

It was as expected, to some extent. RBI kept the CRR unchanged at 4% and repo rate was also unchanged at 8%. But the surprise was that the RBI Governor went on to cut SLR by 50 bps. And another surprise was that it went on to reduce liquidity provided under the export credit refinance (ECR) facility from 50% of

10% ETHANOL BLENDING - FINALLY A REALITY?

about 12 years ago

Almost six years ago, it was proposed to make 10% blending of ethanol in petrol as vehicle fuel mandatory. An extremely workable idea but it never really took off like so many other things. And what is the roadblock? Believe it or not, amongst many ministers, even the Planning Commission and the Department of Chemicals

RAILWAY BUDGET - WILL IT BE ABLE TO WALK THE TALK?

about 12 years ago

All eyes were on the Railway Budget as this was the first major policy announcement made by the Modi Govt. This Budget was to give us an insight into how the Govt thinks, what it aims to do for the people, whether it can successfully straddle commercial, social and economic needs. And the Budget sent out mixed signals.

DULL POLICY BUT FIRE CRACKER PRESS CONFERENCE!

about 12 years ago

More than the policy, which was more status quo, with minor tweaking, it was the ensuing Press Conference which was more telling. It gave us a perceptive insight into the myriad of issues which the Governor is thinking about. And what we came across with was a very assuring feeling that the country's banking

ANNUAL REPORT OF RBI FOR FY14 - IGNORE IT AT YOUR OWN PERIL

about 12 years ago

One can ignore the RBI Annual Report for 2013-14, saying that it's a lot of mumbo-jumbo, too much macro economic data, that too of a year gone by. But therein lay the ignorance. There are so many cues which one can collate from this Report for the current year. Like reading the Chairman's Message

Q4 AND FY15 GDP - ONUS BACK ON RBI TO SPUR GROWTH

about 12 years ago

SC VERDICT ON COAL - BOLD AND APT

about 12 years ago

It was a bold decision of the Supreme Court. Cancelling 214 coal blocks allocated over the past two decades, is most certainly a tough verdict. But it sent out the perfect message - no more squandering away our national resource while ushering in transparency and good governance.

IMF PROJECTIONS - BACK TO THE FUTURE

about 12 years ago

The big question is - should we merely celebrate the optimistic forecast which IMF has made for India or should be worry about the not-so-positive forecast for Germany? Obviously, in this connected world, we cannot live and celebrate

ROLLOUT OF GST - GAINERS GALORE

about 12 years ago

GST will come soon, one day for sure! Online retailing is the "next big thing" in India. Put both of these together and what do you get? Surely, logistic companies are set for some boom times ahead. A mere nod from the Cabinet for GST sent stocks like Gati, AllCargo, Snowman, Gateway Distriparks, Container Corp and the entire packing soaring. Indeed they are looking at much better times, beyond being just oil containers

about 12 years ago

Wow! That's the first thing which one feels on looking at the index and hats off to RBI for springing this surprise rate cut, without waiting for the 7th April policy date. This is what we call progressive thinking and action where the RBI is matching step-to-step with the Govt's Budget policy announcements.

ARE WE OBSESSED WITH FDI AND FIIs?

about 12 years ago

You go to Big Bazaar, it is very likely that majority of the stuff, over 50% of what you buy/see there would have a 'Made in China' tag. You want to buy a TV? The choices are Samsung, LG, Sony? Local brand like Videocon? No one buys that and do we have local brands in TV anymore? EcTV, anyone remembers, the good ole'days of B&W TV where no choice made viewing so easy. McDonalds, Subway, PizzaHut and Dominos - everywhere around us we see only foreign brands.
