I like to call myself an investor, but the losses during the last week are severely testing my resolve to stay invested.  However, i must say that 2008-09 was a great learning experience (with extremely high tuition fees I might add). This time I am ready with my list of stocks and the price levels below which I will start investing, and how much to invest at each fall from those levels. Let's see how it works out. Luckily this time I am sitting on decent profits in most of my investments in spite of this fall, and I have adequate cash to invest if markets tank.

This is a normal market cycle wherein we seem to be near the bottom of the cycle considering the valuations at which some good mid and small cap cos. are trading at present, almost at historical low valuations....... If the pace of this fall continues like this then we will have these stocks trading at absurd valuations which is highly unlikely.....The fall is accentuated by domestic goverment's mismanagement of economy where it has failed to let the country exploit its true potential of standing out amidst global uncertainities..... The positive is that expectations are so low that if politics of country permit some reforms like FDI in m.retail and all we can have new sectors emerge as leaders of next bull run.
We need to concentrate on long term investment rather than short to mid term gains as mid.term is very uncertain.... Its the best time ever to pick good investment opportunities.

Companies with revenues in $$ new leaders?
Valuations are absurd already. Scores of good companies available at p/e of 3-5. Yield 4-6% is norm in midcap.
No new supply of paper.
many promoters are buying.
For us Europe is not the problem but one european controlling India is the problem. Indian economy was considered caged tiger in early nineties. This govt. does not like unleashed tiger so they are trying to cage the tiger!!

Hi,
can you name a few of these Small caps and Mid-caps where we can have them on our radar as well for buying opportunities

Warning: Now these are my hawa hawai opinion
I think markets could move down further as one could see more issues cropping up for banking sector
mind that real estate prices have not corrected yet (housing loans)
No orders for the infrastructure companies
But true some of the mid caps in small sector could have bottomed out

I have a vested interest in the stocks I discuss, therefore I would request you to kindly consider my comments with a pinch of salt and do your own due diligence

I think the market has fallen only by 20%. It's 16 K now and was 20 K a few months back. This seems like regular price fluctuation to me. Remember the market was 8 K just a few years back?
