"Just 5% of the world's traders make money while 90% lose and 5% break even."
The key influences that cause markets to fall are political changes; inflationary pressures; interest rate movements; wars and natural disasters. However, the global crisis in equity markets in 2008 has been caused by the fall-out from then the credit crunch--the impact of the consequences of irresponsible and profligate lending in the sub-prime marketplace by US banks has reverberated around the world-the most damaging effect being that banks became suspicious of the financial strength of others and reluctant to lend money. This in turn led the money markets to effectively dry up--this had the knock on effect for businesses and industries needing capital but not being able to access it.
This situation created negative sentiment in the markets and when this became more and more negative and in certain areas became blind panic, the result was sliding share prices around the world. Unfortunately it has been sentiment rather than fact that has driven stock markets down and a period of reflection and common sense thinking is essential to get global markets back on an even keel.
There are always people and institutions who need to sell stocks every day because they need some cash to pay for obligations. For prices to be stable, there should be people and institutions who are buying stocks every day for investment purposes. When there are events that cause fear or uncertainty, people and institutional buyers stop buying. The sellers have to offer a lower price to induce the buyers to continue buying. If buyers don't react, the sellers have to offer an even lower price. When the uncertainty and fear diminishes, buyers resume buying and the prices go up again. Of course, if there is a recession, this is a long period of uncertainty, and prices will go down and remain down for a longer time
Indian stock Market:
Today the biggest question on everybody’s mind is “why are all Reliance stocks moving up” but all I feel you should be bothered about is ‘Have you made money riding these stocks?”
I see people cooking up all kinds of “stories” to justify the move. Some say it is a scam while others say that Ambani brothers have joined hands again!(How intelligent?)
This is similar to what fundamental analysts do- find a reason and then issue a buy or sell. People find it easy to follow because it is ‘logical”(so smart!). Markets do the opposite of this- they first move and then comes the “why of it”. And sometimes the “why’ doesn’t even exist
Lets ask ourselves what might happen if the same Reliance stocks stage a strong reversal on Monday.The same guys will say that “the stocks were too expensive, so they had to correct” .The technical analyst shall say that “all of them were in overbought zone” so they had to fall.(Once again-how intelligent ?)
Reasons don’t make you the money.In hindsight I can justify almost “anything” and “everything”. I am surprised by the confidence such people have. Let me give you an example.
A few days back Mr. Nirmal Jain of Indiainfoline was ‘absolutely bearish” on the markets and saw that bearishness lasting for 6-9 months. (How accurate?) Today he again comes on TV and says that markets are going to “stay bullish’ for coming quarters. Earlier the ‘reasons’ for bearishness were “subprime problems” and today the reasons for “bullishness” are “India’s secular growth”!
(When markets were falling in August,I remember writing on the blog that one thing is “positive” in these falling markets- all the experts have become bearish! And incidentally markets bottomed out the same day itself (August 22).Read what I had written.)
Now check any of my previous recommendations. Do I ever ask you to buy because of ’some news” or “inside information”?
Many of you might not have bought Reliance Capital at 1040 thinking that I didn’t give you a “strong reason’ to buy it. And also the stock was already “too high” or ” too expensive”.Now you can’t buy at 1550 because what was high and expensive at 1040 is definitely more expensive and higher at 1550!!
Please read my post-Infosys-a fundamentalist view to get a better understanding of what I am saying.
Similarly many people got annoyed when I gave a short sell call on Cipla when it was at 200. Three months later Cipla is(-15%) and whereas a RPL is (+50%). Now if you were buying CIPLA because it has already “fallen too much” or that it is a “fundamentally good company”, then you can continue to add it at lower levels till you get your “cost price”.
Coming back to markets-I am looking forward to the next week with extreme focus and caution. As many of my clients are sitting on decent profits, all I am asking them is to manage their risk and ride their profits.It is important to note that this is the time when most of the money shall be made or lost in the short term. So fasten your seat belts and enjoy the action. At the same time “remain in control”.
