Bottom has reached !

Obama gave an exceptional acceptance speech which would make even skeptics vote for him. Democratic party made an excellent choice as their presidential candidate and I fully support Obama for President. America needs change and who is better than Obama ?

Now coming to main topic - I have been calling market bottom for some weeks. With today's GDP report, I can confidently say that market have reached bottom few weeks back and it is on its way towards 12500 by end of year. Most promising part of today's market move was that financials have come back in a big way. I was glad that my call on mortgage insurers was so on the mark with 4 of my recommendations up by 20-50% in last few days. Since these stocks are still down by 80% from their peaks, I would recommend staying invested in these stocks or making positions when they come down little-bit (check out my recommended entry points in previous post).

I see scenario playing out exactly like 1992. Even though I was not in USA, from my reading, some of the similarities are:

  • Bush was president
  • Housing and financials were in trouble
  • Economy was in recession
  • Jobless rate was high
  • Young democratic candidate was inspiring America
Once Clinton was in office, we all know how markets did in 1990's. Hope Obama would do same for markets in next 8 years

Good night and good luck !

2025 = Is it going to be 1997 or 2000?

Happy Holidays... After 5 months of hibernation with no real reason than writing block, I decided to use quiet morning of Christmas day to start writing again. Lot has happened in last 5 months - in particular release of Animal Spirits with Fed starting interest rate reduction cycle and historic victory of President Trump for 2nd term. As the year turns into 2025 and stock markets at all time high, one would wonder, what's next?  To answer this, one needs to look back at 1920s and 1990s to give us some context on where markets may be headed. 1920s saw invention of televisions, radio, wider adoption of cars, vacuums, penicillin and many other which we consider household items now. These inventions created roaring 20s with markets going up by 500% eventually leading to crash of 1929. However during mid-20s, markets keep going up due to excitement of these inventions and end of World War-1 and Spanish Flu Pandemic. 1990s also saw many inventions - the key being launch of Netscape in 1...

Elections and Rotations!

2024 will be known as an important year in terms of elections (97 nations covering half the population) across the major countries in the world. We are only halfway thru the year and already some key nations have gone thru elections and voters have indicated their preference for change (in a way). Let's take a look at few. India - Modi's BJP started with lots of enthusiasm with slogans of "Modi ki Guarantee" and "400 paar" (more than 400) seats (out of 543). Indian voters (which I considered one of the most smartest) gave reality check to Modi and BJP by reducing BJP count to 240 (from 303 in previous parliament) forcing it to form coalition government. I have lot more detailed hypothesis on these results (but not here). Almost everyone (including me) got their predictions wrong and lost some friendly bets. Indians want balance between "Strong, Prosperous, Proud" India with "Inclusive, Employment and Harmony". Modi and BJP are quick learn...

And the Oscar goes to...

It's Oscar Sunday and time for predictions for few categories - before I digress into talking about drama in DC or markets.  First of all, I want to recognize the damage LA fires have done to the beloved areas of Los Angeles and impacted families across all spectrums. My heart goes out to them and wish them recovery and rebuilding of their lives... This year's Oscar nominees and post nomination period had been interesting to say the least. Due to this, the field is wide open in almost all categories and that's what makes prediction game so interesting. Just to set expectations, I would consider a win if I get even 50% predictions correct given the dynamics of nominees this year. So here are my predictions - "And the Oscar goes to..." Best Picture - Anora (surprise could be "The Brutalist") Best Director - Sean Baker for "Anora" (Surprise could be Brady Corbet for "The Brutalist") Best Actor - Adrien Brody for "The Brutalist"...
