Is this "just another healthy correction in India's long term bull market" or is this "start of a prolonged bear market"?

I tried to do some research on this. For this, I decided to look at #Nifty 's weekly chart. From my earlier observations/ chart reading over several years,
I have observed that the 100 week moving average serves as a very robust "long-term" support/ resistance. (Note: some others prefer using 104 --- as that coincides with 2 years of 52 weeks each --- while some others prefer 108 --- as that has a special significance in Hindu
religion/ astrology --- but that's ok, wouldn't make a huge difference).

So, let's see what the chart is showing us:

Nifty 100 W (Simple MA): We are bang in the middle of the high-low band. So long as we don't give a weekly close below 15032, I would view this as a "healthy
correction". Let's see how has this 100W high-low band held up in the past
And here are some more examples...

What these examples suggest is that, 100 W high-low band is something worth taking seriously. It generally holds, and when it doesn't, it signals a much deeper problem (like the 2008 financial crisil, or Covid in 2020)
Now, coming back to today, using the 100W high-low band as a reference point, a close below 15032 (let's round it off to 15000) would be something I would be watching closely.

By the way, let's look at what's the status of other indices:

Bank Nifty -- again smack in the middle
of the high-low band. A close below 32300 is worth watching.

Nifty 500 -- again right there...
Nifty Small Cap 250 -- same story...

It's as if all the indices are doing a choreographed movement...
Bottom line:
I personally will watch for a "weekly close" below these bands.

Nothing is certain/ guaranteed in the market. And nothing works all the time. But, it's always helpful to have some reference point. The above analysis is merely to help us get some reference point/
guiding light in this uncertain world.

Hope you liked it.
Cheers!

Sharing an insight on investing that I have found very useful and something that I personally track regularly (in fact, on a daily basis) for my own 30-stock momentum portfolio.

Many of us (if not all) hold investments in shares. But have you ever calculated the “quality” of
your investment? By “quality”, I am NOT referring to the financial health of the company. Not at all. In fact, as an ardent practioner of momentum investing, I never look at the company financials, annual reports, websites, etc etc. I only look at “price” as the only
relevant criteria.

So, what do I mean by “quality” of the investment? I am referring to it’s Sharpe ratio. What is “Sharpe ratio”? Sharpe ratio is basically the “risk-adjusted return” of that stock or investment. Let me explain by way of an example.

Let’s say, Adani

Getting a few DMs enquiring whether this MasterClass is still on and whether one can join it. Yes it is very much on and is being actively conducted everyday. Just for the benefit of those who wish to join, here is some information.

The MasterClass is being conducted in two
segments.

Segment 1: Monthly zoom call:

We review our momentum investing portfolio every once in a month and any changes that are required in the portfolio are carried out on the first day of the next month. Accordingly, on the evening prior to that day (ie on the last day
of the current month), we hold a zoom call with all the subscribers where we explain the step-by-step process that is followed to construct the portfolio and review it every month.

Segment 2: Running telegram channel

Since the zoom call is held only once a month, the telegram

@pawanaroraleo In fact, forgot to add, there is also, therefore, a tax advantage in holding NiftyBEES (as against individual shares). Dividend received on individual shares gets taxed at max tax rate as per individual's tax slab, whereas in case of NiftyBEES, the dividends are never received
@pawanaroraleo by the NiftyBEES holder, but are received by the AMC that manages NiftyBEES and is indirectly reflected in the NiftyBEES NAV value, so the dividend income keeps getting added in the NAV month on month/ year on year and whenever someone sells NiftyBEES, that dividend income is

As you know, one of my primary strategy is momentum investing (MI) in equity (cash segment). Using those stocks as a collateral, I have been trading in options to generate additional/ weekly income.

MI is a “long-only” trend-following strategy with a longer-term time-frame
of few weeks to few months. As such, it is very much dependent on the underlying market conditions. In a bull market, the returns will be high and during a bear market, the returns will be low (if not negative). In other words, MI is essentially a long-term “wealth-creation”
strategy and is susceptible to lumpy returns and therefore, MI is not something that I can rely on for my weekly/ monthly income.

It is for this reason that, using the stocks bought under the MI strategy (as a collateral), I have been trading options to generate my weekly/

A small thread on momentum investing and how I practice it.

I use the Nifty 500 universe for selecting my momentum stocks. Nifty 500, as the name suggests, has 500 companies in it. WRONG !!!! It actually has 501 companies. Yes, I double-checked 🙂 So, these 501 companies is
my talent pool (if you will) from which I select the 50 best candidates that I want to bet my money on.

Ok. So, exactly, did I go about doing that.

Step 1: Start with Nifty 500 universe (501 companies)

Step 2: Eliminate all those companies which have a listing history of
less than 1 year. This eliminated 25 companies (see table).

Step 3: For the remaining 476 companies, I computed their last 12-month rolling price returns (meaning, comparison of their price as on March 31, 2022 as compared to that as on March 31, 2021, and then computing the % Image

50 years ago, this week in 1971, the USA threatened India to stop the 1971 war. An alarmed India sent a SOS to the Soviet Union. A story that has been nearly erased from Indian history books.

When Pakistan's defeat in the 1971 war seemed imminent, Kissinger spurred Nixon to send
the US 7th Fleet’s Task Force, led by the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, to the Bay of Bengal. The USS Enterprise, at 75,000 ton, was the world's largest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the 1970s with more than 70 fighter aircraft. A monster. The Indian
Navy’s fleet was led by the 20,000-ton aircraft carrier, Vikrant, with 20 light fighter aircraft.

The USS Enterprise was being dispatched to secure American citizens in Bangladesh was the official American statement. Unofficially it was to threaten the Indian forces and prevent
