Tom Waits hit the nail on the head, and stubbed many toes in the process, when he rightly said, 'The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering.' Actually, he hits two nail-heads: (1) Amrit Kaal notwithstanding, beyond your window lies Chaosistan, and (2) under such conditions, how one suffers matters greatly. But what Waits skips is that one man's bad writing can be another man's uplifting prose. So, for a few of you, this column may seem turgid prose told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Now, if you look at the rest of the market beyond the megacaps and the financial space, there is not much value left over there. The consumption names, pharmaceutical, IT are probably fully valued to fairly richly valued, I would say. So the scope of making money from here seems to be somewhat limited a bit about what our short term euphoria will be there and where the stock price may go in the short term.
