Time to Invest in India

Sensex to reach 100,000 within 15 years!!

Mark Galasiewski, Asian-Pacific Fin Forecast at Elliott Wave International, sees Sensex at 100,000 within 15 years based on technicals and current patterns. He is of the view that October 2008 lows have already been breached by most markets but India did not, which is very significant. "From the pattern perspective, there was only a three wave decline down to the October lows and most of the other major world markets made what we would call a fifth wave or final wave down in this leg of their bear markets, but India is special because it has only three waves down."

Elliot's forecast for India is based on the particular Indian Ocean Group, these are the markets from Pakistan, down to Indonesia, that are connected to the Indian ocean. This is very distinct from the rest of East Asia for example and very distinct from Europe and the US.
Eliott's forecasting larger bear markets for the next few to several years in the US, Europe, Japan and even china. India and the subcontinent in particular is special
Though eliott's forecasting about sensex is heartwarming, the financial crisis is still heart burning.
Time to invest in India??? more questions than answers........

Geocaching

Today I was introduced to a new hobby/game by my colleagues. Its called Geocaching. Its a high tech treasure hunting type of game. Apparently its played all over the world, or at least in the developed countries. It was fun to play this game. We took note of some geo coordinates and clues from the site www.geocaching.com, a GPS unit that shows geo coordinates, a camera and a paper and a pen and we headed out to find the cache.
The first one had a clue of "Fishy". We know about a pond near our office building. So we headed down there while checking the GPS to be sure that we were going in the right direction. We were right, the coordinates were near the pond. When we arrived near the coordinates, all we saw was a tree. What could be hidden there? We had 3 people in our group and we started looking around. After searching for about 5 minutes, we found a camaflogue bottle hidden in the branches of the tree. When we opened it, we found the cache !! We registered our visit in a paper in the cache and took pictures and kept it back at the same place !! Even though it was a worthless treasure, it was really fun to find it !! I'm into geocaching now !!

Deflation in Global Economy

With credit crunch hard hitting the entire world, there is a growing euphoria that this would lead to deflation in Global Economy(positive if it's for short period.)
This has already lead to slashes in crude oil prices.
This has also spawn fears that the fast developing economies (China and India) which expanded their capacities may dump their commodities in Developed nations to keep running the factories and stave off employees.
This would turn out to be positive for these economies unless the developed nations come out of recession before christmas.
If the deflation continues after christmas, the fast developing economies may shed work force, slash wages and more lay offs.
This would also have impact on politics with people turning towards carl marx......

Hope this christmas brings back hope and cheers...
