The Nightmare Continues

Just when the first rays of sunlight had begun to appear through a dark storm, they’ve disappeared again. Bear markets are like that. They often taunt you into making gambles with your money and the moment you think you’ve made the right decision you realize that the ever powerful stock market has once again humbled you. It’s been the case for the past few months but the beginning of November seemed to bring in the confirmation of the market bottom, or so we thought.

Market Review :What's Behind The Spin ?

In one single day many Indian investors have lost nearly half their life savings….and they’re the lucky ones. Those who invested as early as January this year at the peak of the Indian markets have seen the value of their investment disappear by at least 80%.Many of them-retired professionals had hoped to make the stock market the instrument that would guide them through their old age. But young or old, everyone was a lot poorer by the time the Bombay Stock Exchange closed early in the evening on Friday. That was perhaps the only silver lining—that it was a Friday. The markets are closed over the weekend. It’s as though the markets have been hit by a giant meteorite and put into a dreadful tailspin.
