I think if you look into history markets does`nt always move because economy is doing well, take for example US.
US economy grew more than 5% in first qtr and 3% in second qtr, this very good growth rate if you consider the base of US economy, but market does not move certainly market is not convinced now look at US corporate sector for last 16 quater growth in S&P 500 companies has been above 15% but market did not moved or do much for last 4 years except Russel 2000 their mid-cap index this index is continuously hitting new high.
But, now when things starting look bad and everyone is saying that US will go into recession US market is heading towards thier own life time high (11723). Does this move make sense to anyone of you reading this?
To me all these things are very complex, so why not concentrate on stocks.
Regards,
Reetesh.

Look at the size of market cap. i know what you are saying but its market is less than if we put Ongc and maybe a Satyam`s market cap to together.
In 2001 end they started getting incentives from US because they gave favour to US on Afganistan front in there so called war on terror. Then US investor started look at Pakistan..

I have full respect to him. He thinks from mind not from his market position. He is one guy who has been tracked by who's who in world economy. Only problem is he lacks dreaming. He always co-relate current times with past times but it pays to think before doing so.
Data is easy part, we need wisdom. Indian markets will continue to rise, till we see may'06 like madness, which I think is far away. So Enjoy ....

I don't understand how volatility would diminish a value investor's prospects of getting it right.
It's only volatility that gives us Axis at 380 and Hdfc Bank at 850.
In a less volatile market, these stocks (and many others) would never be available at these prices.
