The policies of the UPA are all wrong,and it still favours the Globalist Elites,at the cost of India,an anti-national act!
When the share prices and the index were raising, both PM
The UPA government's economic policies are showing true colors - Where is the aam aadmi with this economic turmoil ? With economist prime minister, obsessed with nuclear deal, India's economy is shining under BSE meltdown! Show this government the door that has created cultural, economic and political havoc throughout India.
Now is the time to buy for retail and Instituttional investors.FII have used most of their 'fire power' and the fundamentals of the Indian Economy are still good even after discounting the GDP Growth from average 9 % in last few years to about 7.5 % in current fiscal year.The RBI should support our currency now to keep the US dollar at about 45 Rs. which would further reduce inflation in view of the falling oil price.
Did anybody jumped out of the window yet? Where are all those analysts who are predicting Sesex will be 25000 by this Diwali? Where's Rakesh Junjunwala, so called stock market guru? These economists, analysts are nothing but bunch of jokers. I've more respect for palm readers than these jokers. When stock market is booming it's called wealth creation. What's it now? Can you create wealth at gambling den? People, go back to work. Get a life! Please don't jump out of the window.
What you said it 100% correct, Kiran.Trading in shares is nothing short of gambling. Instead of relying on the hype people can make money by speculating, people should concentrating on hard work and creation of real wealth, and not these artificial wealth.
