Indices verses Rupees

Last few weeks that I have been observing that Rupee was becoming very strong as against the dollar. Simultaneously there were reports about large inflow of Forex in the country. It is evident that any commodity that is available in plenty becomes cheap, and so did the dollar.

While the Rupee was becoming stronger that the stock markets also were booming, thereby indicating that majority of the inflow of Forex was getting into stock market.

Where it came from? Was it hot money? Was it from Al-Quaida and similar organisations? We can only ask these questions, but shall not find any answer.

Then the markets started falling and so did the rupee. Someone was withdrawing Forex from stock markets?

There was a time, when one could check for the US markets early morning, confirm that most Asian markets are following that trend, and choose the scrips from Indian markets to be day-traded even before the markets were open.

It does not happen anymore. The link seems to have been discontinued. The dependence appears to be getting on Forex more and more. The volatility is too high most of the time , which infact is good for day trading for either making or loosing a lot of sum on a single day.

Then what happens to small investors?

Who cares?

Like the traders always make money while the farmers commit suicide, some day the small investors shall attain the same level or category of farmers, or am I exaggerating?

Happy Trading-Investing

there is a saying , the market crawls up the ladder and jumps out of the window. during boom time nobody cares, it's only during the bear market . I am also of the same opinion that the easy money is already made. small investors and traders may have some tough time making money if the indexes are range bound between 13-17k.
