And that is the reality. Some investors hv already lost 80-90% of their investment. Those who are doing trading on borrowed funds, hv already lost their entire capital. Thanks....

Whatever u say is perfectly in order. However, as I understand that the financial market problems are likely to escalate to Europe as well in ST from US and in that case what we have to think is whether thereafter, we get into fresh problems from that or not. No doubt after FIIs selling is over, market is bound to gain sharply from that low level. We had faced such situations in the past also and after a while, everything was in order. So this time is also no exception, we could get better days ahead but not in the near term, as the problem this time seems to be deep rooted and is spread all around, not left to India alone. Thanks....

Yes agreed, only HE knows the answer. Whether HE will oblige anybody is the main question??...

Any specific positive news to share?...

It is adviseable also to wait for some more time as investible funds with investors are now limited....

Thanks for your views. U r right, nobody can predict as to when the bear market will end.
ICICI has already fallen a lot. Still weakness persists. L&T and Infy will remain weak going forward. L&T management has stated as per newspaper reports that they are facing problems in getting fresh orders. Infy guidance will make it weak also.
So far RIL is concerned, it has been relatively steady. Whether it will go to 999 or not, nothing can be said at this moment.
Of course sensex is not depicting correct picture of the market. Weakness is much more than what appears in the weakness of sensex.

Now the main problem is when the dust will settle. Every week we are getting bad news.
Now all analysts on CNBC have started talking about LT as 2=3 years. Today I heard Shri SP Tulshian and Shri Gul talking to Shri Pradeep of Aawaz channel. At the end of their conversation, Shri Pradeep asked them whether we can expect market to improve within next 2-3 years. To this their reply was if market does not improve even within next 2-3 years, then we all are ........
It means in ST we have to bear this pain. If we believe in past, then whenever an investor has invested his money during such bear phases, he had earned a lot from the market after sometime. This time, I think, it should not be different. Time horizon may be a little more this time. Thanks....

there is no prediction of bottom or the top. nifty had touched nearly 6300 in january.now it has touched low of 3198. it is clear that if nifty breaks 3125 and closed below that, than we shall go upto 1675 in 2009. hence i was earlier saying that we can touch 1800. some of the boarders were angry with me and written that 1800 never ....ever. but one thing is quite understandable that we had reached 6300 from 800. so it is obvious that anything can happen. If we stays above 3125 for nearly 10 days than we can again go unto 4775.no doubt in 2009. Regarding reliance if it goes above 1649.85 and stays above for 10 days than only we can go up to 2480 in the coming year. Otherwise we can go down to 820 levels. It looks difficult but anything can happen. It has been calculated as per 50% downfall of the nifty. But forget reality, private financials, energy, power, capital goods and some more sectors, which had corrected more than 80%. bcoz they will never go up to their earlier level. So do not invest in those kinds of kachara stocks. I think hotels, oil and gas, oil explorers, health and care, agricultures, biotech to outperform in the next run. in these category-- reliance,aban offshore, hotel leela, Indian hotels, ranbaxy, sun pharma, and any new comers, itc, biocon ,monsanto, advanta. nath biotech, etc are the main stocks. with regards sanjay ...

A viewpoint and the probable botomming out signal - if the market has not already bottomed out and the oversold nature of our markets is almost directly linked to FII sell off the 90 billion US$ of the 280 billion dollars left in the markets there is some risk that around 50% of this is in danger of being liquidated. Hence at the rate the FIIs have sold off this may take 2 weeks or maximum one month. Then there will be NO SELLERS below that bottomed out price and the threat of FII exitting will be out of our calculations and we can make our fesh start from there. Also positive triggers can be expected from our Finance Ministry nearly on a daily or even hourly basis from next week. So fasten your seat belts we are off to a very volatile and rough ride immediately ahead. However it would be good for our markets to see the FII investment gone for the time being as it must and as it will because of their crisis. This action might also directly help staobilise thier ship since the decisions to exit must also be weighing heavily against them. Anyway I hope we Indians assess the situation and bravely face it for whatever is in store. Somewhere there have to be silver linings and opportunities in these dark clouds I would appreciate views of boarders in this respect. ...

vkk43, thank you for your reply. The last sentence "weakness is much more than what appears in the weakness of sensex" indicates the correct picture. knair...

vkk43, No doubt that we are in bear mkt. Once we are in, getting out of it is not so an easy task. It may take time, time which nobody is sure of predicting. As regards RIL, I will be a happy man if it not falls below 999. But if falls, we are nobody to stop it but to become a witness of it. A witness of seeing the mkt falling to 7500 level too. We don`t want to see it, so we say that it is not going to happen. But when it happens, it is to happen. If it does not happen, we got thousands of panic sellers ready to make it happen. The channels are bringing out sensationalised headlines. They are also selling, their products, in form of sensationalisation. Let us come back to RIL. It is the strongest stock in the mkt. Its weightage is too high. Anything happens to it can make the mkt to be affected. ICICI fell from 1465 to 327. With it, mkt also fell to certain percentage. Both put together, they carry 30% weightage in the mkt fall. Another 3 more stocks- L&T, Infy and Airtel- also carry huge weightage and if they also fall, sensex can break the past records. Sensex is seen with these stocks but they are not representing the real picture. But most of us are only looking into it? The number game is dangerous. knair ...

2 1101 Thanks once again vkk ji for your kindness and appreciation. I just wanted to bring Mangalam Timber to your notice.One can buy it later when the dust settles. Since 2002 we have not seen a bear market and so it is bound to be bitter and painful that too considering the fact that it has come down from a very high level.Hope all realise this and plan their action plans carefully. Regards,...
