The Indian market went through an impressive five-year bull market, beginning in 2003 and running until January 2008, fuelled by over $50 billion in FII inflows.  Unfortunately, since then, India’s market sell-off has been equally intense, accompanied by higher credit costs, inflation, lower industrial production, and several high-profile earnings disappointments.

What do you think where the market will head towards and what measures one should take while investing.

A downward trend is what we are seeing and the last six months have been a challenging time for Indian equity investors with series of negative events culminating at the same time, high commodity prices leading to higher inflation and interest rates, increased risk aversion resulting in emerging market sell-offs, political uncertainty, high fiscal deficit (including oil, fertiliser subsidies) etc.  In this scenario a better approach would be to systematically invest in a combination of assets that gives us the best chance of meeting our financial goals, which must also include outperforming long-term inflation to protect real value of savings as one of the key objectives.

Yes, it is going to bottom out, if the government does not come with proper polices. The way the government is handling the crude oil issues and also the way the internal security issues are handled. The FM / RBI governor has not come out with the measures it has to take on account of Fitch downgrading.

There is no country in the world, where the economy has not slow down. This downturn in the market will be carried to the mid 2009. By that time most of the sub prime mortgage dirt has gone out of the financial system.

I guess this is an excellent time for an investor to build a quality portfolio of stocks because prices of almost all blue chip stocks have come off by almost 50% and hence returns from these levels over the next two to three years will be a significant for any retail investors. However, they will have to be patient and have the conviction in their investment decisions and take a long-term call on the markets without looking at the short-term aspects. Unfortunately, while investing in equity, retail investors tend to take a short-term view and look for almost instant gains. This short-term approach needs to be curbed and equity, as an asset class, needs to be considered by the investors for long-term deployment. If this approach to investment is followed, the current market scenario is ripe for retail investors to enter for making substantial long-term gains.
