Sandip Sabharwal, asksandipsabharwal.com, says “sudden, swift corrections lasting a couple of weeks can come up any time. Markets can never go up in a straight line. So the investment strategy has to be, at this point of time, if you are holding some good stocks, you can keep on holding. If you are holding zero cash, I would say that it is a good strategy to at least have 10-15% cash now so that you can re-deploy as opportunities come up again.” Is it getting too good to be true or perhaps we should not get carried away with the momentum? What is your understanding of the market right now? It depends on the time horizon of the investors. So if it is a very long term, then it is fine. It does not matter. But I think when markets move up so rapidly in such a short period, in every bullish phase, we have seen that markets can correct 4% to 7% at any point of time without any reason so any investor who is getting in today needs to be ready for that.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Retik Finance (RETIK) both have unique qualities to the table, each with its own set of advantages and considerations. Let’s delve into the factors that might influence your decision on whether to buy Shiba Inu or Retik Finance before Christmas.

Mayuresh Joshi, Head, Equity Research-India, William O'Neil, says “as metal demand comes back slowly and steadily as far as China is concerned, the expectations of a soft landing in the US, strong recovery signs that we are seeing in Europe and holding out of macros and the expectations of infra spend in India, is expected to keep volumes afloat as far as Indian companies are concerned. With a sharp recovery in LME prices, the large expectation is that operating leverage should start kicking in from the first of the next financial year. It is a pre-emptive move that we are probably seeing on a lot of these counters.” What do you think is aiding the move in metals and is it sustainable? Two-three factors are clearly aiding the kind of growth that is now coming through for the sector as a whole. One, yesterday, Powell statement which is clearly indicating that at some stage in the second half of the next calendar year rate cuts will be a given, that will give a huge boost to the global economy and commodities in general should see a huge comeback.

Taliban stronghold in northwest Pakistan before dawn Friday, triggering firefights that killed two police officers and three insurgents, security officials said. The attack in the town of Tank in Dera Ismail Khan came three days after a suicide bomber in the same region rammed his car into a police station’s main gate and five others opened fire, killing 23 officers in this year's worst attack on troops. Local police chief Iftikhar Shah said two police officers were “martyred” and three others were wounded in Friday's attack on the police headquarters, while two of the attackers died. He said a third militant was killed by soldiers during the assault on a nearby army post. No one immediately claimed responsibility, but suspicion was likely to fall on the Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP. The group is separate from Afghanistan's Taliban though it is allied with the Afghan movement, which seized power in the neighboring country in August 2021 as U.S.

Sandip Sabharwal, asksandipsabharwal.com, says “holding some amount of cash is prudent potentially in sectors where the run-up has been too swift or where someone has an overexposure and then wait for some corrections to allocate that. But the overall economic outlook is positive, so we cannot go very hugely into cash. So, maybe a 10-15% cash position could be potentially prudent and then in between, opportunities will keep on coming up because all stocks do not correct at the same time.” It is almost like the market is believing that the next RBI policy will see a rate cut. Is there a correlation? Should one also anticipate a rate easing by the RBI? It looks highly unlikely that we are going to see a rate cut anytime soon. The scenario that is building globally right now is that the rate hike cycle clearly seems to have ended and once that happens, we will see that the dollar index peaks out, flows start into emerging markets, etc. I think that is the phenomenon we would see.

Nilesh Shah, MD, Kotak AMC, says “India today is trading at a premium valuation to others as the Spider Man movie said “with great power comes great responsibilities.” With higher valuation, comes higher expectations. Our headwind will be to deliver on those expectations. We are like Suryakumar Yadav or Virat Kohli, we are supposed to score a century every time we come to bat; a 10-run, 30-run cameo is not good enough.” Just taking a cue from your last tweet, who is going to win the race? Valuation or past performance? That is a very-very tough question.
