India On The Verge Of A Revolution For Corruptions / Politics / India
Raju M. Mathew writes: Land of the billionaires and the Very Poor - In India, the benefit of liberalization, globalization, privatization of public enterprises, the infrastructure development with public money and the overall economic growth have been hijacked by a dozen families and their corporate houses. During the last fifteen years, they could virtually grab between 60 to 70 per cent of the natural, industrial, air and technological wealth of India, keeping over 80 of the population under poverty line. Now India has some of the richest billionaires on earth.

With some charts, we're looking for specific trading ideas... We're looking for extremes in the market that offer big "anti-consensus" opportunities. This is how we've found big winners for our readers in platinum, oil, uranium, offshore drilling, and overpriced growth stocks.

THE PERILOUS COURSE
THE 2008 credit crisis exposed the financial
whizkids on the Wall Street who hardly had an idea on where their acts were taking the financial markets
. Years of booming markets made them complacent to risks that were building up in the system. Few saw the apocalypse that collapsed many venerable institutions.

Indian Rupee Currency Forecast to Fall Towards $36-38 / Currencies / India
Currency movement decides the direction of the economy. In normal times, opposite statement would have been proved right. But, this time is different. Every nation is ready to wage war against their trade partners and other exporting destinations to ensure that country can continue to boast their exports and cheap currency can help them to inflate out their debt loads.

India's Commonwealth Games Fiasco, Shaky Foundations of a Cheap Labour Economy / Politics / India
As the Commonwealth Games open in Delhi, India, the controversy over sub-standard accommodation and facilities for the participating nations continues to rage.
Several weeks ago, visiting country delegates voiced concern over the shambolic state of the newly built facilities. Now, as the games open, the event promises to turn into an embarrassing fiasco for the Indian government, with glaring publicity on what is still being widely reported as filthy and shoddy conditions. Media reports say that cleaners and labourers are “working through the night” in order to salvage conditions at the so-called Games Village, where more than 7,000 athletes from over 70 countries are scheduled to stay for the 12-day sporting tournament.

Poverty and Social Inequality: Should India Set Up a Sovereign Wealth Fund? / Politics / India
Kavaljit Singh writes: New Delhi's proposal to establish a $10-billion sovereign wealth fund should be treated with caution.

India is on the Path to Double-Digit Economic Growth / Economics / India
Jason Simpkins writes: If it's able to control inflation and cut its debt, India could well become the world's most appealing investment opportunity.
Europe is choking on debt and scrambling to salvage its beleaguered currency. The United States is saddled by high unemployment and struggling to preserve its wobbly recovery. Even China - which has had to reign in its stimulus to cool its red-hot property market and curb inflation - may have peaked.

Indian Stock Market Detailed Technical Analysis with Chart studies / Stock-Markets / India
As stated in our analysis from previous analysis, market did rally back from the oversold levels. Though market did bounce back, it once again found resistance at the center line of BB which runs around 5200. Market took cues from global rally and echoed the same here. However, towards the end of the week, all the enthusiasm waned. EUR, got a facelift on monday with a $1trillion bailout in Europe. However, it gave up all of the gains from monday and actually has broken down big time during the week. US markets too ended up on a sour note on friday and Asia is expected to open flat to negative on monday because of this. A lot of action took place last week.
Nifty once again found support outside of the lower Bollinger bands. Each day nifty went down, it had a long hammer. This clearly suggests that nifty does not really want to go down, but is going down because of reasons beyond it's control, viz. global conditions. This shows the relative strength of nifty. The question everyone has been asking is whether this is just a minor correction or is it start of a new downtrend. Looking at weekly chart, it doesn't bode well with Bulls right now as we have a "Shooting Star". Good news in this bad one is that nifty closed positive for the week.

Indian Stock Market Detailed Technical Analysis with Chart studies / Stock-Markets / India
As was expected, there were wild moves on both sides owing to Options expiration. Since largest OI was centered around 5200, Nifty hovered and closed pretty much near it. After trading in a very narrow range all of last week, it closed pretty much where it left the previous week. This shows the tug of war between bulls and bears. Neither sure which way to trade at the end of the day/week. In our last analysis though we stated that there is chance of Negative Divergence building up and that would be give us two things.

Indian Stock market Detailed Technical Analysis with Chart Studies / Stock-Markets / India

Everyone believes that the support/resistance levels would be different. But what eventually works out is anybody's guess. As you can see from Daily chart of nifty below, Nifty nicely tagged the Lower Bollinger Band and found solid support there.
