Things are moving so fast in financial markets

Is this the way things move.

Is this the way they make it move.

Aren't things moving really fast.

From Bull Phase >> Bear Phase >> Sub Prime Worries >> Reliance Power Issues >> US Job data >> Foreclosure >> Writing off losses by various banks >> Indian Union Budget >> Writing off losses by ICICI Bank >> IIP numbers  >> Carlyle >> Bears and Stearns >> JPM buying BnS >> Fed rate cut and other measures >> Banks results >> Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announcing new insights >> Next what ?????

And yes this has been dotted by various moves / intervention by Fed backed by US treasury

Sometimes I feel is the time not right or everyone was just waiting for such a phase to write off losses.  They were waiting for cleaning their slate as it had been too much under the cover.

One more question that comes to the mind is what were these rating organizations doing and what were the Analysts doing and what what happened to the so called Corporate Governance.  Is the world only of the Capitalists, of the cine stars, of the players and of the POLITICIANS???

What is being baked?  Never does the common man got an idea.

Culture of HOPE

Our CULTURE is full of HOPE

We are a nation who lives in HOPE.  We are people who believe in eternal optimism and HOPE.

Things will improve and things will be fine and better.

We live in HOPE.  Yesterday I saw a TV show which said for Indians even death does not take away HOPE.  We continue to believe that it is going to be fine and better for the person who left this world and is on abode to heaven :)

 

Hope is one thing that drives individuals and keeps us going.  We control ourselves and we carry on ON HOPE.  We push ourselves and we take the suffering for HOPE.

As long as there is HOPE there is reason to LIVE and a reason to make things better for ourselves :)

Another way to fight credit crisis

There is another way to fight credit crisis

Unlock value >> Keep part of your company to be bought over >> Sell it to Asians and get cash >> Use cash to revive first world nations economy

People in Asian countries who still are not under loads of loans and have a potentially better scenario can use credit and consume more.

Basically the large point is rotate the money from thirld world nations, far east, middle east, south east to the west.

Increase consumption and increase demand and thus revive economy

What say?

Markets tumult - Is someone authoring this?

 

These world markets are behaving in a very very strange manner.

Some one must be authoring this. 

Things cant change from DEEP PLUS to DEEP MINUS in few days

But who and what is the next step

Is it the

  • FED
  • US treasury
  • Some rating organization like S&P

No I don't think any one of them can do this.

Who else ???????

I believe the one who is authoring this may be someone who is not out in the open.  Hence it can't be anyone from the above list.  Then who?

Is it political manipulation happening coz of US political scenario?  Elections due in Nov 08

What it is?  What is the next move?  How would Isenhover get to the next step :) ?

Will the dots again connect later and I will say this was Imperative.  This will become Elementary my dear Watson later. 

Is this giving rise to some CHANGE.  Will something as powerful as the INTERNET be invented / discovered again - in order to change the world yet again?

This is the time for INNOVATION.  This is the time to have innovative steps taken in the financial industry again.  The market and situation is complex.  Lets admire and appreciate the problem and get going :)

Happiness

Chasing happiness and fighting cycles of emotions I have come to an understanding

Happiness is in HARD WORK

Working hard for making things happen

Revive US economy

In order to revive US economy, we all know the following is required

A

-  Increase Consumption --> Increased Spending --> Increased Demand --> Increased Production --> Increased Supply --> Increased Services --> Increased finances (of all sorts)  --> Increased jobs / earnings.

 

My solution to Ben Bernanke and the US government is to increase the number of people or rotate the people from the rest of the world.  Get more people to work from Asia and let them spend and earn and earn and spend.  Their financial credibility would also be high and hence more loans and hence more consumption.

B

The other option is to get the Asians buy property in US so as to generate more money and more repayment and increase in prices of property and then increase in economy growth

C

Get some money from middle east or somewhere else.  Well this is also happening

D

Earn from Asian economies

- Nuclear deal with India

- Fighter pilot deal with India

- Many such deals

Basically make the world more FLAT

Don't create another IRAQ and destroy that and then rebuild that again.  As was done earlier.  You can postpone the slowdown but you can't stop it

Movie NEXT - Every time you see it you change it

 

Will post on this soon :)

MTVROADIES 5.0

As Raghu says

To survive in life you need to have

- desire to win (make it happen)

- a razor sharp mind

- Luck ( in fact this was redefined by two of us :) as ability to be dynamic - change and adapt yourself according to the uncertainties of the world.

Entrepreneurship

I had given anything to HIRE / get someone who can think like me, work with as much passion, as much enthusiasm, as much pride and as much devotion as me

Role of a man

In personal life - A man has to always put it together again.  A woman has to keep it together.

In entrepreneurship / professional life - The CEO has to always put it together again.  The employees have to keep it together.

 

Putting it together and keeping it together are both equally important.  In current society these are expected from individuals.  In case any of the party is sticky then the other counterpart needs to rise up to the occasion and deliver what has to be delivered in order to SURVIVE respectfully

In difficult times - slow economy

Just heard on the NASDAQ report.

If your product / service is of good quality and priced right, there will be demand and you will do good even in slow economy

Even this will Pass - Happiness :)

a forward :)

happy

Everything in life is temporary…

Darkness of the night or brightness of the day

Even sunrise is temporary… And so is sunset.

If things are going good enjoy it… It won’t last forever

And if things are going bad

Don’t worry coz it won’t last forever either.

Everything just passes by…

In Control or Have FAITH

There is a constant battle to be in control or to have faith.  To know everything and make efforts or to have faith and keep working and keep moving.

There is a constant battle. 

When I decide to have faith and then move on, the faith is shaken in some way or the other (even for small things) and I have to come in action.

When I start becoming in control and demand things then I get perturbed as I do not getting the right information.

It is a MAZE, a big MAZE.

Added Later

After some discussions with a friend, a way may be

To be in HOPE; and

To take initiative and do things, get things done and also (very important) declare them DONE. ; and

Remain in HOPE

DO I want to STUDY more

The other day me and my dad were discussing about higher studies.  He was mentioning some people whom he knew doing MBA from Harvard.  He was curious as to how they get admission and how they get finance.  Well finance - he also finances such candidates.

And then he asked me a question, which became a million dollar question, - DO I WANT TO STUDY MORE? -- An MBA from Harvard or the like was what he was referring to.

I shook my head in denial at that time and he didn't question.  The thought remained with me.

I guess I am not sure as to if I want to study more.  If yes then what and if no then why not. 

Yes what I would like to study if given a chance is do a course in ENTREPRENEURSHIP - An MBA in entrepreneurship.  Well sounds interesting these days.

I know that entrepreneurs are not formed or taught but still it will give me a platform to learn something that others have already put in place and then make my own way, make my own understandings and may be become an entrepreneur myself.

I have read about all the a bit and all that I have gathered is there is no right way and there is no wrong way of doing things.  There are ways and the best way is the way which becomes successful.  There may be some ways which may give you a bit more mileage but not for sure. 

In this field I understand, most of your beliefs get shaken off.  Most of your rights and wrongs gets reverted.  (here try)

Anyway ending with -- may be I want to do this ALSO in life :)

STOCK MARKET - this too behavioural, emotional

I have been watching trends (clues), Investing, swing trading, news trading, day trading, macro economics trading, dealing in futures and options (both call and put).

There are some strong lessons that I learnt in recent times.

1. You dont buy or sell - you are sold and bought shares.
2. Its all behavioral economics -- no one can predict
3. You can predict businesses but not indexes

These were two major lessons now coming to question on SO WHAT? (as I belive learning is fine but SO WHAT - give some workable solutions :) )

So workable solutions are

1. Play with STOP LOSS. In case you are bullish then know where to get out in case of market going low... (based on various things - including your risk taking capacities :) )

2. Rotate your shares. When you think that you have taken decent profits but the market is still moving to higher levels then sell and buy again. This increases you buy price but then the STOP LOSS is also rotated. For instance if you bought RNRL at 22per share and it is at 200 - sell and buy again (may be at 195 or 205 - market will give the opportunity for sure as market does not move up or down in straight lines) and keep a stop loss at 180 or 185 as the case may be). This can be a standing instructions and works quite good in FnO as the volatility is high and profit / gains are also high.


Feel free to give your inputs on the same.....
