Recession !!

MUMBAI: Retail investors are not the only ones who are scratching their heads, trying to figure out where the market is headed. Even the haloed bunch of analysts and experienced traders have been foxed regularly of late by the sharp market swings. The existing volatility in the market has resulted in several conventional indicators in equity derivatives turning ineffective, forcing them to trade on information on a daily basis.

Reading this felt so good that finally a newspaper agreed with what I thought was on as an amateur in the market. Where is the market headed these days ?

The bearish Indian markets have apparently pushed away the FII's but the Indian investors ( home bias effect ) and still sticking to their roots and taking positive calls even in a period of downturn.

LONDON: India has been identified as the most sought-after market in a major survey of 300 global retailers seeking to expand outside their domestic markets.

This is good to know considering the fact that I am "graduating into a recession" - yes the dreaded word has hit the major markets of the world.

Even the developed countries are not able to work against it, but the developing countries are doing unusually well. What can explain all this ?

Soaring oil prices - the underlying commodity of the stock market and the drive behind everything else in todays world is creating quite a few stirs. We must not forget that things started changing dramatically when this commodity was discovered, hence depletion of the same will also start changing things dramatically. The two way effect.

I guess it would be high time that we start understanding what is going to drive the market in the future.
