BUDGET FY14 - THE GAINERS AND LOSERS

about 14 years ago

On the whole the Budget was a lot of talk but there does not seem to be the right stride in the walk to meet this talk. The Finance Minister on one hand said that the FY14 plan expenditure is to be raised by 30% but at the same time, he says that fiscal deficit for FY14 will come down to 4.8% from the current year estimate of 5.2%. How does this math add up? There is a massive jump in social schemes, so one wonders how the fiscal deficit

Debt has become a bad word, taboo on Dalal Street. The moment any company starts showing signs of stress due to high debt, it is dumped like stinking garbage in the dustbin! Companies with high debts always existed and one would have thought that with interest rate cycle now turning downwards, it should actually stop being such a big issue.

The incessant run up of the market, celebration of the BSE crossing 21,000 and hitting a new high at 21,293; the postponement of QE tapering, the euphoria of the FIIs - all these factors are directly opposite of what the economy is going through.

INSIDER TRADING - A VIEW FROM THE OUTSIDE

about 13 years ago

Getting information before it becomes public is what you, me and all believe will help you make windfall gains.

CORPORATE DEFAULTERS - ECONOMIC TERRORISTS BURNING A HOLE IN INDIAN BANKS

about 12 years ago

But the best news of all is undoubtedly the Govt telling state lenders that they need to strict action against the top 50 defaulters. Asking Banks to vex their muscles against the defaulting rich and powerful is a big thing - at least there is realisation that we all hold this perception that action is seldom taken against big industrialists who default on huge sums of money. Not only is no action taken but they are given more loans too!

AS MIDCAPS BECOME EXPENSIVE, STAY AWAY FROM PENNY STOCKS

about 12 years ago

We are currently in a situation, at least most of the retail investors, where we can only watch the bull run and quality stocks hitting new highs. Two factors deter our getting in - most of the good stocks, even mediocre stocks are at unaffordable prices and secondly, the high prices could mean lesser profits on the table. Thus there is now a pursuit for penny stocks.

31ST MARCH – WHY THE ‘YEAR’ ENDS TODAY?

This fiscal year ending actually is a legacy left behind by the British. They followed the accounting period of April to March after they decided to adopt the Gregorian calendar system of accounting. It was the East India Company which first brought in this fiscal and once the British established their rule in India, naturally, all companies started following the same. Other “British colonies” which follow the same accounting year ending are South Africa, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Burma,

Kudos to our PM, Narendra Modi. This internal 'surgical strike' against black money is a very bold move; it required tremendous amount of courage because in many ways it was hitting out against the very people who could have funded his elections and his party. This is a remarkable, out-of-the-box way to try and bring down black money in one sweeping stroke. It also gives one the dual advantage of putting an end, once and for all to this menace of counterfeit notes,

GOLD - HAS THE BUDGET REMOVED ITS SHEEN?

THE DANGEROUS PURSUIT OF PENNY STOCKS

Sometimes, it is difficult to understand the psyche of the investor. In a bull market, when the markets are booming and almost all stocks have run much ahead of valuation, hunting for penny stocks comes naturally, or should we say, is any hunters instinct.
