Just 5 days ago, everything didnt look this rosy and being a long timer you know it better than anyone.
Had it not been for this rate cut, this market would have been sitting at 10,000 today.
I dont think anyone wants to see the economy collapse. At least not me as I have my money in the market. Have family member with jobs etc and its not a good sight to see people being jobless or living in constant fear of losing jobs etc. I have witnessed it first hand in 2008-09.
However, It is but natural for people to become pessimistic if our government is busy in politics rather than save the economy. I think its with good reason that people become careful about investing in stock markets when economy is not doing well, when global scenario is not very conducive or when oil spike 10% over night. ( Not to mention having to pay 76 Rs for petrol even when crude was at 55usd
)
I am glad some measure are being taken. But not sure if they would be enough. As we discussed in the morning, the problems in the economy lie elsewhere i.e MSMEs, rural demand etc. Cutting corporate tax maybe one measure but I would like to see more things like they did on cutting GST on hotel tariffs etc(direct boost to tourism). We still have a long way to fix all the puzzles. The stock markets are a different beast altogether. They can be irrational. Not worried about 5% gains or sell off. What I'm more keen on seeing is a robust economy over the next 5-10-15 years. We already wasted 5 years going from 8% to 6%.
