@sandipsabharwal@Dev_Fadnavis I am ok with this if the same can be applied to govt officials/ministers responsible if ppl die due to bad roads, bridge collapses & other negligent actions.
@sandipsabharwal@FinMinIndia Not just initiates, they destroy the economy before BJP goes out of power. Why not just nationalize all pvt wealth & give rations for sustenance. 70% of ppl are dependent on them anyway.
@TheClubJunto If someone believes Indian policy makers ever look anywhere else for inspiration, go get your brain checked. We are Vishwaguru, we don't need to improve anything. We are already no.1.
@DealsDhamaka May be they are right. What's the point of frugality when you can achieve nothing meaningful? At least it will leave a lasting memory, who cares if orhers remember it or not?
@Swamp__Watch At least in US you have bunch of these billionaires, in India you can count them on your finger tips of just one hand who own everything.
FM Cites Exit Liquidity (SIPs)
(a) Liquidity does not cause FII selling. It only reduces the seller’s discount (pain) (b) If liquidity is up, prices should rise. But they fell. So what is setting the price: RISK of ₹ fall (c) Here are the FACTS:.
FM Speaks to CNBC
CNBC attributed the following comments to India’s longest continuously serving Finance Minister:
a. Excess liquidity in the Indian stock market has contributed to under-performance and may continue to do so.
b. Capital outflows are one of the biggest risks for India in 2027. Capital flight toward AI is a “concern.”
c. India’s economic fundamentals are “fine.”
Reality Check for Investors
a. Liquidity does not cause FII selling. Liquidity only reduces the discount a seller must accept in order to sell. SIPs are reducing the pain of FII exits.
b. If fundamentals are fine and liquidity is abundant, stock prices should rise. They are falling. So, something else is setting the price: Risk.
c. Risk: FIIs are not willing to bet on India as long as India’s oil import bill remains high, widening the current account deficit (our exports cannot offset excess imports).
d. This single factor (current account deficit) causes ₹ depreciation.
Effects of ₹ fall:
1. Erosion of FII stock holdings
2. Domestic inflation
3. Demand destruction
4. RBI raises interest rates
5. Industry hit by costly loans
6. High FD rates: equities lose
Earnings Rising; Index Falling
Nifty 50 earnings grew 18% YoY in the Q1 FY27, the fastest earnings growth in 10 quarters. Yet, Nifty 50 is falling. Why?
Nifty PE De-rating Is Going On:
FY25 PE: 21.37x
FY26 PE: 19.62x
FY27 PE: 18.66x (fwd PE)
INTERPRETATION:
a. From FY25 to FY27, Nifty 50 PE ratio has de-rated from 21.37x to 18.66x. That’s a decline of 13%.
b. This means, even if the earnings (E) are rising, investors are willing to pay a lesser price (P) for each rupee of profit. (13% less than FY25)
c. Further PE de-rating will happen if ₹ crosses the psychological barrier of 100 in 2027. FIIs won’t keep watching their India stock holdings evaporate.
d. If oil remains above $100 per barrel in 2027, further ₹ fall is virtually unstoppable. India has no export cushion; no defence against oil.
Endpiece: Investor Strategy
The bull case for Indian equities rests on one key assumption: Oil prices will go back to pre-war levels in 2027. But what if they don’t?
Do not go all-in on equities when the odds are so completely unknown. Invest with discipline, and not like a gambler.
@arabicatrader
@NoLimitGains While $10 million USD is the new million, in India earning just $850 USD/month is enough for govt to label you high net worth individual & tax at the highest slab of 35%, 10% cess. Life can be brutal.
