Indian Stock markets - July 10

Monsoons are here and just at the time monsoons showers hit Indian heartland, Indian markets seem to have rekindled hope.

Its very early to say the markets have turned back and the low of 12800 will stand. The way it looks, it may probably stand for some time. The MACD of index is turning positive though it is still in negative territory.

[Interpretation: MACD turning positive in a negative territory does not mean the asset is bullish, it just means the negativity is completed and we may see positiveness moving forward. This usually triggers a good bout of short covering which spurts the prices initially. Conventionally, bullishness can only be confirmed when the indicators move into positive territory.]


I have given you my take on MACD interpretation and going by that we are still in 'corrective' rally. This 'corrective rally' (I hate this jargonish word, btw) is recovery from the fall than a start of the new rally. The confirmation of new rally would come from re-testing of the lows around 12800. Though this is what we would ideally want, this is also what market / traders / investors also want, hence it becomes kinda self-fulfilling (a.k.a 2nd wave of Elliot)

So are we off to a rally, not yet. We may see some corrective, mainly with the selling pressure that we are expected to witness around the FALLING GAPS. Falling gaps are very important resistances.

[Falling Gaps: Falling gaps are the gaps created in the price chart when it is trending downward. Investors who were keen to exit at higher levels usually are not able to exit due to low volumes, and hence kinda chase the price low to exit. Then comes the falling gap. A gap where the investors see a big difference in the present price and the next price. THIS makes investors to hold back their selling. Usually they exit when the price touches or comes close to these levels.

The interpretation is very similar for all the gaps.]

Cognitive rules of business presentations

In his recent book, Clear and to the Point, Kosslyn explained that the four rules of PowerPoint are: The Goldilocks Rule, The Rudolph Rule, The Rule of Four, and the Birds of a Feather Rule. Here's how they work. The Goldilocks Rule refers to presenting the "just right" amount of data. Never include more information than your audience needs in a visual image. As an example, Kosslyn showed two graphs of real estate prices over time. One included ten different numbers, one for each year. The other included two numbers: a peak price, and the current price. For the purposes of a presentation about today's prices relative to peak price, those numbers were the only ones necessary. The Rudolph Rule refers to simple ways you can make information stand out and guide your audience to important details -- the way Rudolph the reindeer's red nose stood out from the other reindeers' and led them. If you're presenting a piece of relevant data in a list, why not mak...

Value of dollar - Part 1

A Simple Perspective Will Do The date is 2000-05-28. Don't you get tired of all the bad news bears reminding you of all these instabilities, excesses, and 'potential' tensions in the global economy? After all, hasn't it always been like that? Yes it has, but not in money it hasn't. Increasingly, investors find it harder to know where to put their savings. What about Government Bonds? Wrong. Their recent record of capital losses have wiped out your guaranteed yields, probably because the stock market keeps crowding them out, and this even in a strong dollar and low inflation environment. Furthermore, there is no reliable liquidity and potentially poor quality debt in the corporate sector. Foreign assets? Wrong. Most of the world's economies are riskier, have been under performing, and also, there is this thing called currency risk. Like how is the average person gonna cope with currency...

Depreciation of British Pound 1900-2000

When the Bank of England was formed the powers to create money was finally transferred to private hands. The creation of Fed in US, was just a part of this cycle. Though it is a common knowledge US Dollar has depreciated nearly 100% since the creation of Federal Reserve, the same is the case of all the currencies across the globe. For example, below is the UK Parliament data that highlights the depreciating value of Pound.
