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...

Monetary inflation, Spiritual devaluation

Its been sometime I have been trying to make some special people understand the evils of inflation. Inflation is an abstract subject most of us dont know about, let alone understand the technicalities amidst jargons. I have in my previous post have briefly touched the social part of inflation but never in a concentrated way. I understand what my friends mean when they say "tell me in layman’s language." It is not a heartening sign, that they avoid technicalities. But it could well be that knowing where they stand, their role and understanding the social changes in the light of inflation may motivate them to understand the term "inflation." This is just to highlight the brief points. First and the foremost, is there any link between inflation numbers and society. Yes. The relation is same as the relation between society and money. What is money? Money is an easy means of exchange. If I am selling my horses to a pig-farmer and I am not interested in taking pigs in ret...

Unprecedented External Demand Shock Underway

India’s export growth averaged 24.8% over the last three years, driven by strong global growth. However, over the last three months, export growth has decelerated sharply. While until recently the strong demand from emerging markets including Latin America, Emerging Europe, the Middle East and Africa ensured that export growth remained healthy, over the last three months disruptions in the macro environment of these economies have been evident. Apart from weakening demand, exports have also been affected by the lack of availability of foreign trade credit and inventory liquidation. India’s exports declined by 12.1%Y in October 2008 compared with 10.4% in September and 26.9% in August. While we expect some improvement in the second half of 2009, exports are likely to be unusually weak over the next six months. We now expect exports to decline by 5.3%Y in 2009 compared with 12.7% in 2008 (estimated) and 23.1% in 2007 Excerpt source
