GREED AND FEAR IN EQUITY MARKETS

As equity markets across the globe are melting down as fast as glaciers due to global warming, both the fundamental analysts and the high profile technical analysts have disappeared from the market. Thank God! we are not hearing any expert advice in CNBC on the investments and SENSEX reaching 25 K or 30K. Valuation experts are clueless and the people who were recommending buying at 20000 levels are not seen anymore.
In these type of situation, people should realise that it is only GREED and FEAR among human beings that is running the market sentiment. Fearfull people sell on fears of prices going down and Greedy people buy on greed of making money on the same stock. The seasoned investors like Buffet is the firm believer in the behavioral aspect of the markets. Yesterday, in a column published in the New York Times, he said that "...I've been buying American stocks. This is my personal account I'm talking about, in which I previously owned nothing but United States government bonds," said Chief Executive of Berkshire Hathaway Buffett. "A simple rule dictates my buying: be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. And most certainly, fear is now widespread, gripping even seasoned investors," he pointed out.

SHOULD WE ALSO LOOK FOR INVESTMENT AT THESE LEVELS AS NOW FEAR SEEMS TO BE STRETCHING TOO FAR?

RBI PROPOSAL ON BASE RATE

The timing of recent proposal by RBI to introduce base rate mechanism for lending activities could not have been better. Taking the experience of global financial crisis in which Indian Banks remained more or less unscathed, there must be a transparency in systems followed by the Banks to lend money prudently. Banking is a business, where safety of depositors money is of utmost importance. By lending below the average cost of the Bank, the bank jeopardise the safety of depositors fund as well as start a rate war among the lending institutions, that may be beneficial for the Bank as well as immensely beneficial for the borrower in the short term, it may be harmful for the banking system as a whole. The basic question is why should banks lend money at less than the cost of the fund to the bank? If strategically lending is done to select customers at rates below cost of funds, this has to be cross subsidised by higher rates for many more borrowers. There starts a disparity among borrowers...

TIME FOR SOUL SEARCHING

The present US Financial crisis was bound to happen. Only time will tell whether we have learnt something from it or not. Today, US president Obama blasted CEO’s who are still trying to get bonuses in this crisis time. I think (may be wrong) that the present system of bonuses for making short term profits is one of the major reason for so much greed in the executives across the globe. What we have observed that people get bonuses for their annual performance and then move on. The company is normally not able to assess the long term impact of the short term performance of its employees. It is high time that HR professionals look into the whole compensation process with a holistic attitude that can be beneficial for the organization in the long term. CEO’s and executives of large companies took their bonuses (some by cheating……Madoff.) and they are the people who are responsible for the current crisis. In the War situation also many people lose their job, companies shut down, economies d...

HAVE WE LEARNT ANYTHING?

Beware. Once again experts are prowling for their prey. People are being given tips to make easy money. FII flows are coming to the equity market and market is zooming targetting new highs as if there was no problem last year. Sensex crossed 17000 and new targets were set on business news channels luring people to again invest in the stocks. Mutual fund sales pitch increased and new schemes are being launched. But does the situation is so goody- goody? In my personal opinion, again this is exuberance and experts are betting on greater fool theory.The greater fool theory (sometimes the bigger fool theory, also called survivor investing) is the belief held by one who makes a questionable investment, with the assumption that they will be able to sell it later to "a bigger fool"; in other words, buying something not because you believe that it is worth the price, but rather because you believe that you will be able to sell it to someone else for an even better price. Today most o...
