Predictions For The Year 2016 !

By



This week i was studying Capital Mind Newsletter and found something interesting which seems to be inline with my thought . It may be wrong or right .....like every time :)
Sharing the same with you guys as below :

  • Stock markets will see turmoil in the coming months, with volatility increasing as it has in the recent past, except we’ll see a lot more. While we struggled to see a 20% move last year we’ll see many 20% moves in the coming months, on the index.
  • The Indian Economy will slow down yet again. This time there will not be much jugglery to save the numbers. The slowdown will be on the back of lower discretionary spending and increase in taxes by the government, which will attempt to increase its spending through political packages.
  • Bank stocks will see a LOT more NPAs coming on to their books and credit growth will fall substantially until they get their act together and raise capital. Even the best banks will see a hit, including private sector banks.
  • Foreign investors will slow down on stock market investing. And they will get spooked by potential corporate defaults and start taking money out of corporate debt.
  • With the debt markets hit, the RBI will cut rates by another 1%.
  • NRIs will need to be repaid $30 billion by the banks, through the RBI hedges set up in 2013. This will be in November, but it will cause turmoil in the rupee markets from June onwards, as RBI unwinds its foreign currency forwards to collect money to pay up. The rupee is likely to hit 70 and 55, perhaps both.
  • The US will eventually hike rates and this will be a positive for all stock markets. Because, phew, it’s done.
  • The government has promised to lower corporate taxes, but it will raise other taxes to pay for the difference.
  • China’s slowdown will change its nature from an export oriented country to a consumption oriented country and they will push the Yuan as an international currency in Asia. This will need India to act but we will prefer to not do anything.
We understand this doesn’t tell you which stocks to buy. Because we are terrible at predicting which stocks will make money in a year. They may make 100% in six months, and then lose all of that in subsequent months. If you get in and have a 10% stop loss, you will still make 80% returns. (Rs. 100 stock goes to Rs. 200 then retraces to Rs. 180, for example, at which time your stop loss is hit and you exit. Then it goes back to Rs. 100 over the next few months).
In such a case, I will be judged on the stock prediction – “it made 0%!”. But to the investor, it had a healthy return. And similarly there might be other stocks where you lose first (and exit at a loss) and then see it move up.
Predicting which stock will do well over a one year period is largely useless and a waste of time, unless you’re doing it purely for entertainment. However there are things we see as concerns.

Game Changers for Stocks

The Trans-Pacific Agreement could change a lot of things for the textile space, and hurt our yarn and textile exports. It could hurt pharma exports as well.
If the pay commission report gives a big boost to incomes of government employees, we expect more growth in discretionary spending, like air travel, cars, motorbikes and restaurants.
The inflationary impact of a tough monsoon will be visible after February 2016. This gets tricky because the budget’s right about then. A package by the government could hurt the fiscal situation.
NPAs have already hurt banks, but will the public sector banks see a return to investor love, after they’ve been beaten up so much?
The startup bubble will start to deflate, and it could get much worse going forward. Especially with a US Rate Hike and lower economic growth in India. The bubble isn’t very big right now, but there is enough money riding the wave to be affected. Of course, the media will glorify every layoff.

The Monkey , Goat and Stock Story :)

By
So there was this village where one day a man appeared and said that he wanted to buy monkeys. He said that he would pay a hundred rupees per monkey. The villagers caught all the monkeys in the neighborhood and sold them to him for a hundred rupees each. Soon another man appeared and said that he would pay two hundred rupees for each monkey. But there weren't any more monkeys around. They were all owned by the first man. So the villagers went to him and said that they were willing to take the monkeys back and return his money. But the monkey owner was unwilling to sell. The villagers raised the offer price to Rs 150 per monkey, then Rs 175 and finally to Rs 199 but the man just didn't want to sell, even though he clearly didn't have any use for the monkeys. Eventually, just to see whether he would sell, they offered him Rs 200 but he still refused. The villagers were puzzled by this. Finally, one of them figured out that there must be someone else who was going to...

How To Become Rich???? Part-1

By
You are reading this blog means you have an aspiration to become rich….. Wish you  Good luck   in   your  future   endeavours…. In this materialistic world everybody wants to become rich ….. Isn't it! But very few know the way to find this….. I completed reading the book “think rich and grow rich” by Napoleon Hill, “ Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki and in the mid of reading another awesome book “the richest man in Babylon” by George S. Clason. Just could not stop myself from sharing the secrets with you. Though these books were written almost a century or half a century back, I will try to co–relate this with our modern age. Coming to the point, my back ground is from IT. So I will give you an example of people mindset from this field. As a software engineer I saw people going crazy of working from onsite and making quick money by earning dollars or any other format of currency whose value is stronger as compared to Indian...

Is debt fund is better than a FD with 10% interest?

By
Last weekend I thought of doing a FD and was checking with various corporate FD and Bank FDs What I found DHFL corporate FD for 40 months is giving 10.10% interest. But I had a mixed  experience with FDs because last time when I did FD with HDFC ltd , though I did with high interest rate of 10.50%, I got minimal return because of taxation. This time I did not want to repeat the same mistake. So I was checking what are other avenues where post tax return for me would be better than these high interest rate FDs. I found debt funds are better than bank FDs in long run for post-tax return. Now question arises how?  J Before understanding we need to understand  Cost Inflation Index(CII) What is CII? It is used for calculating long term capital gain from income tax act section 48 CBDT has notified the Cost Inflation Index (CII) for Financial Year 2014-15. Complete Notification is Given Below. SECTION 48, EXPLANATION (v) OF THE INCOME-TAX ACT...
