RUPEE AT NEW LOW – HEADING TOWARDS 70, FAST AND FURIOUS!

about 8 years ago

All attention has now been diverted from the falling stock markets to the falling rupee vis-à-vis the US dollar. Today, the Rupee hit a new 28-month low at Rs.68.95. The rupee's last record low was 68.8650 per dollar, hit on November 24, 2016.

THE STRANGE CASE OF LAFARGE….

about 9 years ago

Companies paying “protection money” in Naxal hit areas to enable continuation of work or those caught in war zones, paying money to the terrorists is not new. We all are well aware of the “hafta” practice which small vendors pay to ensure they can run their shops peacefully. We in India, always on the high moral ground....

THE CURIOUS CASE OF RISING CRUDE

about 9 years ago

Crude oil is climbing high and with it, all these chest beating reports on India from World Bank could end up being just that – on paper, just a report. Not to break the bubble…oops, balloon but seriously, as one climbs higher and higher up the Sensex and Nifty ladder, do look around – you might see crude going up alongside and that’s most certainly not a pretty sight.

INDIA INC – STINGY WHEN IT COMES TO CSR

about 9 years ago

When Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) was made mandatory, there was a big hue and cry. Why force companies to give? That was the moot question. But a recent finding put out by Bloomberg is even more telling, making us wonder whether we really know the companies that we are investing in. It also makes us wonder whether we should consider a company’s CSR as a criteria for investing.

OIL AT AROUND $40 LEVELS – THE NEW NORM?

about 9 years ago

Really, there is nothing which will make us humans happy, more so those in the capital market. Till a few months ago, we were ruing our fortune when oil prices were scaling above $100/barrel. We felt that we were about to lose it all and oil prices would cripple our limping economy. Ok, so then we had falling oil prices. Oil prices are back to hovering at $40/barrel levels – around $42/barrel. OPEC has decided to not cut back on supplies any more as it is scared of losing its market shares even though it is ready to take a hit on its earnings.

WHY THIS BROUHAHA OVER IT IMMIGRATION LAW?

about 10 years ago

Currently, India, compared to the rest of the world, looks like an ocean of calmness and stability, notwithstanding the demonetization. The most important fiscal event of the year, the Budget is over and now we look ahead at the elections in the five states of India; obviously with UP taking the center stage.

AS CRUDE SLIPS AND FALLS, EQUITIES CRASH

about 11 years ago

Today morning, price of oil sank to a 12-year low with Brent crude trading down 3% at $27.88 a barrel. Following this, shares across Asia and Europe sank lower and there is now a virtual scamper to find safer havens like US dollar and gold. Naturally, along with the 600-points fall in equities, rupee inched closer to the record low of Rs.68.85

FALLING MARKET, BUYING OPPORTUNITY?

about 7 years ago

So when the markets are seemingly falling through the floor, what does a retail investor like me and you do? Instead of merely watching and doing, “tsk, tsk” and blaming the Govt, use the liquidity to buy some quality stocks that have hit new lows.

SHIP AHOY! IRAN CALLING.....

about 11 years ago

The waters of Iran, which saw small ripples, is all set of witness a storm. Shipping and logistic companies around the world are setting sail to Iran, a place which had been out of bounds for so long. With the lifting of sanctions, Iran is the place to head! For the first time since 2012, the world's second largest shipping line by volume - Mediterranean Shipping Co. SA sailed into the Iran port - it carried a huge load of 300

EVENTS THAT WILL SHAPE 2016

about 11 years ago

2015 is gone and 2016 is in. All the partying is over, maybe the hangover still persists..... For many, 31st December is just the end of a month and the beginning of a new month. Yes, it means a change in the year but that's something which has no real impact on our lives. The habits, traits, characters, routine which we had on 31st are what you will have on 1st Jan, 2nd, 3rd and so on. Thus spiritually or philosophically

PAINT COMPANIES - RED OR GREEN?

about 11 years ago

Have you seen TV lately? Switch to any channel and every ad break invariably shows some or the other paint company, urging us to either redo our homes or repaint or even put up false ceilings. Festivals have come calling and all companies are hoping to make the most; after all this is THE season for all. But vying for maximum out of this season are the paint companies. The way they are going on TV, they are going all out, almost like a make and break kind of scene.

SOME "FEEL GOOD" POINTERS FOR THE WEEKEND

about 11 years ago

As the weekend approaches and we look forward to a day or two of relaxation, the weekend goes better when it ends on a good note. And to keep that mood going, to assure oneself that things are indeed positive, here is a list of some feel good facts. This, for many, us included, may sound like one more of Modi's

IIP DISAPPOINTS, CPI COMFORTS

about 12 years ago

IIP numbers were a negative surprise and CPI came in more or less on expected grounds. Thank god the markets had closed, what with the already 600-odd point fall or else, we could have seen some more disappointment!

WHY IS THE INDIAN MARKET CRASHING?

about 12 years ago

The stock market has truly crashed and literally fallen through the floor. Falling below 650 points at one point, everyone's heart was in their hands. It was widely expected that the market will actually do well today as the Bombay High Court yesterday stayed the minimum alternate tax (MAT) demand from the income tax department. This stay came purely on 'technical grounds'. The Court stated that it was staying all proceedings against the fund as the Tax department had

MARKET CRASHES - MORE OF A KNEE-JERK REACTION

about 12 years ago

After the galloping last week, today, the first day of a new week, the markets have crashed badly. Looks like floors itself have come down! Going down over 630 points! It took everyone by shock; the sheer intensity of the fall baffled all. But this fall today is not India centric; it was dictated more by global occurrences. And that too some good economic news from USA on the job front. On Friday, which was Saturday

WORRIED ABOUT FALLING OIL PRICES? GET REAL!

about 12 years ago

Really, there is nothing which will make us humans happy, more so those in the capital market. Till a few months ago, we were ruing our fortune when oil prices were scaling above $100/barrel. We felt that we were about to lose it all and oil prices would cripple our limping economy. Ok, so then we had falling oil prices.

SAARC - A TOOTHLESS TIGER

about 12 years ago

An energy pact signed at the two-day South Asia Association for Regional Co-operation (SAARC) summit. That's the sum-total of the meet. After all the hi-drama, with expressions and emotions of PM Modi and Nawaz Sharif being played out like leading women in TV soap's, this is all it ultimately comes down to. This deal is just a face-saver; it's like buying something at the airport duty-free because you cannot go back home empty-handed.

FALLING OIL PRICES - INDEED A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

about 12 years ago

The news agency, Reuters today reported that Brent Drude has slipped below $86/barrel and this fall, it directly attributed to the report put out by Goldman Sachs, which cut the price forecast for crude, expecting it to hover at $85/barrel in Q1 of 2015 and $80/barrel by Q2, where it expects a situation of pronounced oversupply.

THE BEST SUSTAINABLE BUY - AGRICULTURE LAND

about 12 years ago

Do you know where the next boom is headed and a boom which will never ever taper off? The food industry. Not processed food but the primary source of all food - agriculture. And China, as usual is buying up as much agricultural land as it can and its target is Australia.

FII's SHUDDH DESI ROMANCE FOR INDIA

about 12 years ago

UNITED SPIRITS - STILL A GOLDMINE

about 12 years ago

We have seen lot of pessimism on United Spirits, due to stock going out of F&O & Nifty 50. This may be a cause of concern to traders, but must not for an investor. Investors with a view of 3 years can expect share price to hit Rs.5,000 mark. Read on further for detailed analysis supporting this view.

CHINA SLOWS DOWN – WHERE IS INDIA’S GROWTH IMPETUS?

about 7 years ago

The stock market seems to be so lackluster. It does not know which way to move as there is no real compass to follow now. Earnings are more stock specific but for the market as a whole, there aren’t any major triggers in the offing. The global moods will more or less dictate the moods as on the domestic front, we will now wait for August to come

THE INDELIBLE LINK BETWEEN OIL AND GOLD

about 7 years ago

Right now, equities are down, oil is slumping every day, realty is down. The only price moving up is that of gold. And this is normal – when everything else is down, it indicates increased uncertainty and that means gold becomes the safe haven. So the very same yellow metal which was shunned by everyone and analysts were talking big about price hitting new lows, is now suddenly back in the limelight.

Blue Chip Stocks

about 8 years ago

Generally, blue chips are regarded as the best or ones with the highest quality and return to shareholders. However, that does not always mean best performance for the past one year. Blue chips are sturdy companies unaffected badly by macro shocks and are dependable companies, with a proven track record over the long term.

YOGA INC - THE NEW MONEY MACHINE

about 11 years ago

And as stress increases, ancient sciences have started coming back to our rescue. Like Yoga and Ayurveda. These two have been in existence as long as mankind has been. We Indians would have buried these precious knowledge's unless the Western world had not given it the kind of recognition that it has today. Ironic but that is the truth of today - yoga is a big deal today only because the western world practices it, recognized it as a panacea for most ills of contemporary world. Otherwise the youth of today would have shunned it, thought it was way

Q3FY20 GDP - THE VIRUS MAKES IT IRRELEVANT

about 7 years ago

On a day when the stock markets, not just in India but all across the world suffered a blood bath, its kind of funny that we look back at growth numbers of Q3FY20. With coronavirus taking center stage, with fears of its becoming a pandemic, the scenario that we are looking at currently is very different, making the Q3 numbers look outdated.

CRUDE – OUR POCKETS AND ECONOMY TO GET CHEWED!

about 5 years ago

Two years ago, we were looking at crude oil prices at $20/barrel and oil producing countries were crying barrels of tears. Today, they are a mighty happy lot what with crude nearing the three digit, $100/barrel mark. There is talk of $115, $114 and more such numbers doing the rounds. No one at this point of time is taking a call on the Sensex or the Nifty as all seem to have become busy plotting crude oil and the rupee’s trajectory.

Indian Stock Markets: Still Ripe for Investments

REALTY – BUILDING THE MARKET SENTIMENT

about 5 years ago

There are some worried that the Evergrande crisis will spill over into India as FIIs might prefer to stay away for some time till the dust settles. But then, the demand is driven by Indians – many of them genuine buyers and many of them investors who have no other avenues to park their funds. So, when the demand is driven internally, the crisis there will not have an impact here.

DIAMOND’S COST – 2 LAKH TREES!!

about 5 years ago

It is always a tough call – environment or development. This face-off between the two essentials is only increasing in frequency and the protests on both sides is getting louder by the day. This diamond project is owned by Aditya Birla Group’s Essel Mining & Industries Ltd (EMIL), spread across an area of 364 hectares in the Buxwaha forests and is said to have a reserve of 34 million carats of rough diamonds.

NOT "WHAT", ITS "HOW" TO BUY

about 6 years ago

Growth needs to be looked at from a free flowing cash perspective and how well it can be used for future growth enhancement. What is the point of a company giving high dividends and having good profits, if all its cash is to be eaten up by paying interest on the high debt it has taken?

VACCINATION, EARNINGS AND BIDEN – IN THAT ORDER.

about 6 years ago

The markets ended on Friday with a massive over 500-points fall – reason cited was the re-emergence of worry over rising corona in the Western world and resultant lockdowns. Well, the same reason, yet the focus will now be on other things more important.

We all over the world have never waited so anxiously for a year to end. 2020 is finally over and with 2021, there is new hope that our lives this year will once go back to the “old normal” and not the “new normal” which we today call life.

INDIA MOST CORRUPT IN ASIA - SHAMEFUL!!!

about 6 years ago

The trend which we have been seeing, like in most sectors, is that the demand is driven mainly by Tier-2 and Tier 3 towns in comparison to Metro and Tier 1 towns. And what we have also seen is that the demand is for decorative paints, which is basically home paint while industrial paint continued to lag.

VACCINATION- LIKE INDIAN TRAINS, ARRIVAL TIME UNKNOWN!

about 6 years ago

For all around the world, it was the ‘Oxford’ vaccine which holds the maximum hope. Russia and China already have a vaccine and they are probably closer to getting it to people than Astrazeneca; yet their news produces no excitement – who in this world trusts anything when it comes to Russia and China?

H1B VISA – NO LONGER A PASSPORT TO SUCCESS

about 6 years ago

The 2020 United States presidential election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, 2020 and Trump will do everything possible to ensure that he comes back again. He might have put off all talks on the virus, denying the danger it presents but what he does see is that there is a growing voice of dissent over the H1B visa. And for him, H1B presents more danger than Covid.
