April 20,2020 - Indicator for the Airline Industry

With the crude oil prices plummeting , the recession we have all feared will arrive earlier than expected. Brace for sell offs , stock correction looks likely. Get your war chest out if you have it ready , If not do not worry this is going to be a prolonged slump , but do start preparing one right away and be ready for the next discount sale.

April 09,2020 - The sporadic stock market bull runs & why they're an anomaly

The stock market as of this week has turned positive , this however should be viewed with extreme caution , if you have substantial profits it is best that you book your profits . The bull run is mainly attributed to the slowing down of Covid 19 cases around the world. Countries like India are going to extend the lock down which will adversely impact the markets.

Also the year ahead is gloomy for most industries ,except for select sectors like Pharma , FMCG ,etc . The year ahead is going to see a demand slump in terms of deferred demands & complete destruction of demand . So try buying regularly while having a lot of liquid cash on your hands (Do not take the risk of placing huge bets on the industry now , money is not the most important thing right now & it is not going to help beyond a certain level) .

To better understand why still there are bull runs in times like these , please read  http://technologysimplifiedforu.blogspot.com/2020/02/where-did-bears-go.html . This is an article which I had written a while back which is relevant to the current scenario.

I say buy them all through an Exchange Traded Fund (Mutual Fund), There are old ones & I hear that there are new ETF's that  have come up catering to the current crisis focusing on the Nifty 50 . This is a recession caused by a natural disaster rather than flawed policies.

Turns out that the first stock tip is not a tip to buy a stock but to buy an ETF. It is similar to Stocks as it requires a demat account to buy / sell

L&T Nifty 50 Index Fund and L&T Nifty Next 50 Index Fund. The new fund offers opened on March 24 and will close on March 31., Motilal Oswal AMC is planning to launch a S&P500 index fund and many other companies as per the below article from ET.
