"The stock market is a no-called-strike game. You don't have to swing at everything--you can wait for your pitch. The problem when you're a money manager is that your fans keep yelling, 'Swing, you bum!"- Warren Buffett

In early trades today Nifty kissed the magic five figure mark for the first time before taking a breather. With this all eyes of short term traders or market pundits will now be on Sensex crossing 35,000 mark. How markets are going to behave in short term, i.e. over next 3-6 months or for over next one year, are always difficult to assess. In such short period many economical, political and sentimental events drive the movement of markets. In the long run if your economy is growing and there is inflation, it will reflect positively in market valuation and investors are bound to make decent money over long term.

GST has been rolled out and government is making all out efforts to educate the nation on the same and smoothen the process of GST. Inflation is at historic low levels and is much below the RBI’s target rate for considerable time now. Till now monsoon has also been above average in most parts of the country. Corporate earnings as declared till now have been a mixed bag. Fiscal deficit has also been within the limits. On political front, the ruling party has been successful in getting their nominee elected as President and will also win Vice-Presidential election. This only will strengthen faith in the current government of continuing its reforms policy and creating an atmosphere that is conducive for cohesive growth of the nation.

 Analysts are keenly looking forward to RBI’s move on interest rates in their meeting on 2nd August. With most things under control, market is expecting RBI to cut its repo rate, at least by 25 basis points. RBI is also known to surprise the market with its decisions. Monsoon is still half way to go, GST impact will take at least couple of months to be visible. We feel RBI may wait for couple of more months before it revises its policy on interest rates. It may leave a positive hint for the market at this point of time.

Where to invest today: Though many fundamentals suggests that there is still juice left in valuations and continuous onslaught of liquidity into the market may keep it stable with positive bias. But looking at the current valuations, we are cautious towards exposure to equity markets. For our long term investors who have to invest Lumpsum money, we are using STPs into equity funds or investing into equity savings funds for the time being, so that we can take advantage of any correction, if that happens.  Using SIPs for long term wealth creation is any time favorite.

Maintaining good asset allocation is the key to make optimum returns from the market and keeping yourself away from market noise is key to success in equity markets.

This Republic Day Write Your Own Financial Constitution

By
“Constitution is not mere a lawyer’s document, it is a vehicle of life and its spirit is always the spirit of Age” – BR Ambedkar A constitution primarily is a document that details the rights, obligations, privileges, duties and responsibilities of the people living within the corridors of, and leading that country. It details the rule of governance. Without a constitution it will be difficult to live like a civilised society. We would be living like in stone-age where “Might was Right” and jungle raj prevailed all over. Like a country, each individual should also have his or his family’s own financial constitution detailing various financial objectives and the process to achieve those financial objectives, rules that will govern the way its finances will be managed etc. This applies to all individuals without exception and is more popularly known as “Financial Plan”. Like a constitution your financial plan should have a Preamble and different schedules. Preamble -

Time or Timing – What is more important with Sensex @ 64K

By
  The Stock Market is the device to transfer wealth from the IMPATIENT to the PATIENT. After swinging in a range for almost one and half years, markets breached their previous peaks and are scaling new one now. Markets have risen by almost over 14% in last three months. Major reason for this sudden rise is the return of FIIs to the Indian stock markets following the fact that India is the fastest growing economy and growing over 6% despite covid, global economic slowdown and geo-political tensions. We invest for long term and everyone knows in the long run markets will go up irrespective of intermittent shocks like scams, dot-com bubble, Lehman crisis, covid or banking troubles in USA etc. Following picture depict the journey of Sensex over 40 years since its inception.   Source; www.thenwsmen.co.in The unfortunate part is we are more concerned about the short term movements of the markets. Every time there is sudden rise or fall in them market we are gripped more by fear and l

On Cross Roads

“We cannot truly plan, because we do not understand the future- but this is not necessarily a bad news. We could plan while bearing in mind such limitations. It just take guts.”- Taleb:   Propounder of The Black Swan theory. Pessimism that set in March, still persists in our minds. In fact it has deepened with growing number of Covid cases being reported. The largest question ruling our minds today is - Shall we ever be able to overcome it…………..     and if yes by when and how? Have we ever wondered how have the Indian culture survived for so many thousands of years, how come so many Indians who were transported as labourers to many African and European countries centuries ago are now ruling the roost or how come most of the top 20 firms in the world have Indian heading them and so on……….. The only reason to above and many such questions is our “ Ability to Adapt ”. We are fast learner and very quickly adapt to new situation. Indians enjoys six different weather in a yea

Markets Tumbling, Recovering – What to do??

Markets Tumbling, Recovering – What to do?? "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." - Chinese proverb. In times like present most people flock towards safety. Most do it because they don’t know how long this doomsday atmosphere will last, some even feeling like there will be No Tomorrow. But hunger for good returns on our investment never ceases. Kin Hubbard satires, "The safest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it in your pocket." On investment and earning good money from them, Warren Buffet – the legendary investor says, "If I buy a farm, I don't know whether there's going to be drought next year, but I know that there are not going to be 20 straight years of drought, and I know there's not going to be 20 straight years of great rainfall." It is a proven fact that no matter what, in long term best returns come from stock markets only. And as Seth Klarman says, “The stock mar

  "The market does not trade upon what everybody knows, but upon what those with the best information can foresee" – William Hamilton Russia-Ukraine conflict had clouded the stock markets worldwide giving speculations to the talks like possibilities of third world war, Russia heading for deep financial crisis, energy crisis looming large over Europe etc. With Russia-Ukraine conflict seems getting settled and much to the pleasure of Russia – the Super Power, this has now become a non-player for the markets until some significant deviation happens from the present stance taken by all major countries of the world. Present is the world of instant. We want everything instant and so are our reactions. In the age of internetted social life, dissemination of information is highly fluid. And over 99% of these netizens have mastered the art of forwarding such information without verifying if it’s a news, noise or manipulated agenda of some interested parties.   Most economies in
