1 USD/JPY - I believe there will be a downturn again
2 What do you think the future holds for USD/JPY?
omprakash visvanathan  |  Added idea  "Usd/Jpy outlook is bullish"  |  2 years ago
The USD-JPY has been hampered by dollar weakness and the shifting of the carry trade from the yen to the dollar. With the japanese government following a no intervention policy the pair drifted lower. But that outlook is changing and governments...
Gandhi Rajan  |  Supported idea  |  3 years ago
According to me, the volatility in USD/JPY in the recent times has fallen to the lowest level since October. As risky assets, the yen crosses and other high yielding currency pairs are very sensitive to the level of volatility in the foreign exchange...

1 Concentrate on core brands
2 Pricing Tactics
Gandhi Rajan  |  Added idea  "Concentrate on core brands"  |  3 years ago
The marketer should concentrate on the core brand or products. He should market only those product or brand which are likely to survive during the recession. And not spend anything on the product that will sink/die ( because spending time and...
Venkatachalam C V  |  Supported idea  "Maintain Marketing Spending"  |  3 years ago
Yes santosh you are right, competitors are cutting back, can improve market share and return on investment at lower cost than during good economic times. Uncertain consumers need the reassurance of known brands, and more consumers at home watching...

No way our system doesn't change i feel that the Financial systems if not managed and supervised meticulously, will crumble like a pack of cards as it happened quite recently in U.S. The RBI in India has always been pro-active most of the times...

Yes I think at least in the short term, growth in India's flagship IT-services sector is likely to slow because of the financial-sector crisis. But the rupee's depreciation will help to shore up the profitability of IT and other exporters. More...

Well before you invest in a particular stock always read the prospectus carefully or the current financial statemnt. Because there are some small companies which has not been registered fot security offerings. Failing to go through the prospectus...
Gandhi Rajan  |  Added idea  "Press Release"  |  3 years ago
All investors out here, If a press releases a article about the company's pending acquisition, don't be fooled by it. Make sure if it can become a reality, until then beware of such press release as it can be a attempt to fool you in buying a stock.

1 Bailout Money still to come
2 Credit Default Swaps (CDS)
Gandhi Rajan  |  Added idea  " Bailout Money still to come"  |  3 years ago
Markets are still falling because it will take many, many months for the bailout money that is being injected into the system to spread out and produce the expected results.
Venkatachalam C V  |  Added idea  "Credit Default Swaps (CDS) "  |  3 years ago
Continuous falls in global financial markets is the link to the privately traded Credit Default Swaps (CDS) and the financial uncertainty they have created whilst synchronized deleveraging takes place across the world. Many CDS contracts have been...

Though credit-default swap indices are benchmarks for protecting debt against default, traders have been increasingly utilising them to speculate on shifts in credit quality. A basis point, or 0.01%, is typically equivalent to USD 1,000 on a...

I think that Fannie and Freddie debt should be easy to sell, while the loans to holders of asset-backed securities are temporary by design. Plus the Fed has to act boldly: This shock is in many ways more complex and harder to deal with than the...
Gandhi Rajan  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  3 years ago
I believe this is going a bit too far. Fed is buying, or accepting as loan collateral, assets that no one else wants. The danger of this approach, he says, will become clear when the economy starts to strengthen. At that point the Fed will need...
Alok Kumar Singh  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  3 years ago
I think the situation demands such a step to be taken. The credit crunch is so severe that the Fed has been forced to go beyond its peacetime role of guiding the economy by steering short-term interest rates . With banks weakened and afraid to...

2 Time to get leaner
Venkatachalam C V  |  Added idea  "Time to get leaner"  |  3 years ago
I believe there will be major strategic changes on the operational front, the companies will try to protect their margins by condensing their hiring plans and increasing the utilization rate (currently ranging between 70-75 per cent), hiring fewer...
Gandhi Rajan  |  Supported idea  |  3 years ago
  I have some facts to back my point. Six months after Bear Sterns went under and was acquired by JP Morgan, the latest series of events in the US financial sector would further slow down the demand for IT services. Expect the $1-1.5 billion that...
