QUIT INDIA vs QUIET on INDIA : What were the "alleged" reasons as to why US Investors "ran away" as per the Pundits ???. :
1. US 10Y Treasury Yield: Yields touched 5 % & were expected to go to 6 % which meant a fantastic Risk Free rate of return. What is really happening now ???
2. $ strengthening against the Rupee : DXY @ 110 & was expected to move to 115-120, thereby crushing Rupee to 95 to 100. What is really happening now ?
3. OIL : Oil was supposed to touch 3 figures, thereby making Indian Markets unattractive due to perceived rise in Inflation. What is really happening now ??
4. MOMENTUM : US had the momentum, while India did not since there were mounting problems due to Govt apathy
5. HIGH VALUATIONS : India was the "Most Expensive Market" in the World. Quit India : At the peak Nifty had a P/E ratio of 24. Current P/E is around 20 which is almost the lowest since April 2021. Bank Nifty P/E is at a decadal low @ 12.7
Quiet on India : The estimated P/E Ratio for S&P 500 Index is 25.63, calculated on 10 March 2025. .
Considering the last 5 years, an average P/E interval is [19.11 - 23.89]. For this reason, the current P/E can be considered Overvalued
6. SYSTEM APATHY : Quit India :1. SEBI embroiled in Controversies 2. Tight Fiscal Policy (Government not spending) 3. Tight Monetary Policy 4. High CPI print 5. Poor Corporate results
What is really happening now ? 1. New SEBI Chair more receptive to Market Dynamics (Listening to FIIs) 2. Budget does a fine balance between being Stimulative & yet reining in Fiscal Deficit. 3. CRR cut; Repo Rate Cut (& more expected) ; OMOs & other Instruments etc. Essentially, flooding the system with Liquidity. 4. CPI on a downward slope & expected to drop further. 5. Corporates forward guidance Bullish. Yet, Quiet on India ?
1. The ONLY thing we have to fear is FEAR MONGERING itself.
2. US Actions NOW :
3. US FUTURE ACTIONS: Has signalled that,for now, its military action is over& has no interest in bringing down the Iranian Government. It may encourage Iran to limit its response, perhaps attacking US targets in ways that do not lead to high casualties using proxies: Hezbollah
1. WORSHIPPING FALSE GODS : Many a time I used to wonder why India has never realised it's full potential. A wizened Old Broker on the MSE gave me the answer : Because India is always lets down by it's Intellectuals, because they are not really Intelligent.🙃🙃🙃
2. Consider the legacy of DAS : Everyone, especially the Intellectuals hail him as a Saviour of India during COVID times. How different were RBI's policies vis a vis other Global Central Bankers. An objective analysis here ( Only for Serious Market/Economy watchers). 👇👇
3. Liquidity was infused by Global CBs during the start of COVID hence Markets recovered & to that extent the Global Economy did. Including India😋😋😋
1. Is this the BIGGEST FALL in the Broader Market ?????. Almost everyone is convinced or trying to convince others that the latest fall is the BIGGEST FALL since COVID. There is PANIC everywhere because of this. So called Veteran Experts are mocking the new Investors/Traders that this is the 1st time such a fall has been witnessed by the newbies.The charts present a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PICTURE as of date. Please don't fall for narratives or Agendas. Study History. See what happened after a major fall in the past. It is quite possible IF the panic continues then there is a possibility that This fall may indeed become a self fulfilling prophecy & turn into the Biggest Fall. But it has not happened yet. AND THAT IS A FACT. @_prashantnair @latha_venkatesh @LarissaFernand @Iamsamirarora @Nigel__DSouza @SurabhiUpadhyay @wealth_verse @AlgoBoffin @nooreshtech @sahneydeepak @deepakmohoni @blitzkreigm
1. That "TURBULENT WEEK" of Indian Economic History : 28th August 2013 - 5th September 2013. Everything which had to go wrong was doing so. Rupee had crashed by 29 % in just 3 months .
2. Global Analysts houses were smelling blood as far as India was concerned. We were bracketed under the Fragile 5. cnbc.com/2013/09/02/ind…
1. REVISITING : Deepavali - Pongal Pattern : This pattern works 80 % of the time across a cross section of stocks/Nifty as per my analysis over 25 years. This time the period was extremely volatile & there was a general fear that the Markets would crash to around 21K - 22K since there was record FII selling. Let's analyse how our specifically built portfolio of 10 stocks performed in comparison with Nifty
2. Two out of 10 stocks gave an excellent return ( Apollo Micro @ 32 % & Biocon @ 25 %) . Two gave double digit negative returns ( Bajaj Auto @ 12.5 % & Bandhan @ 17 % ).
3.However most of the stocks went up significantly & came down during this volatile period. At their highest level this was their performance ( PNB @ 12 % ; Dr. Reddy @ 10.5 % ; L&T @ 9.5 % ; HDFC @ 8.5 % & Canara Bank @ 7.5 % )
1. ONE DAY WONDERS : Today's Volatility must have unnerved many a trader. This kind of huge volatility in a day or spread over a couple of days is very typical of DECEMBER. Usually there is no "news" accompanying such Volatility though Analysts will try to link with some or other event. "Curve Fitting" is what it is called. Here are some of the December Wonders over the years.
