RBI, don't write off brokers
16:31 November 08, 2011
Broking is no less qualified than others to be eligible for a banking license, based on merits.
 
Encouraging growth of NBFCs will reduce systemic risk considerably
07:46 August 30, 2011
I would draw an analogy with railways and roadways that compete sometimes for freight and complement at other times and constructively co-exist. While there is merit in tightening of regulations, I do not agree with the same being justified for reason of use of public funds.
 
Equity Investing: Weapons of mass inclusion
11:37 August 24, 2010
It’s human nature to demonise things, which one can’t understand. There are examples galore of ideas that were scorned at first, but embraced later. Equities suffer from the same malaise. Those who have not understood equities and investing in equities condemn them as gambling and write-off any contribution that they could play in the country’s development.

The Powerful and the Powerless
15:03 April 26, 2012
Mr. Narendra Modi received a thunderous applause from the audience when he said, that in other states when power comes it makes news while in Gujarat, if, at all it goes, it’s news.
 
RIP Dr. RHP
11:34 April 14, 2012
My direct interaction with Dr R H Patil was limited to one Leader Speak interview which I had done in 1999. He came across as an absolutely grounded institutional builder, quite unlike other people who could have been carried away by the success of the institution they had built. The Indian Capital Market underwent dramatic transformation post NSE.
 
What if there is a cruel crude shock?
17:13 March 17, 2012
Crude in Rupee terms has again reached an all time high. This will force the government’s hand because rising crude has an impact on domestic inflation and current account deficit as we import most of our crude requirements. In my opinion, in the coming days we will see a steep increase in petrol and diesel prices. I pray and hope, we don’t have a situation that bad remains behind and worse begins.

Union Budget 2012-13: ‘Fiscal consolidation = Subdued growth ?’
09:12 March 21, 2012
The government has its work cut out… manage coalition while trying to reform and meet fiscal target without hampering growth. Based on our internal workings, 5.5% fiscal deficit is more realistic
 
Money Wise, Mind Bullish
10:04 January 24, 2012
For long, we have religiously shouldered a big load of misconceptions about money and its perceived management. Academic syllabus is also partly responsible for the widening gap due to its scholastic focus and lack of attention to real world money management. I firmly believe that financial literacy, if taught during formative student years, will become the foundation of a brighter and better financial future. IIFL runs an innovative course titled FIN-LITES in schools across the length and breadth of India, a humble step forward to embrace financial literacy.
 
Real estate funds - A Concrete Promise
15:07 December 21, 2011
Real estate funds score high on many factors, akin to mutual funds. There is a strong case for investment vis-a-vis direct investment in property or realty stocks. With interest rates at elevated levels, banks going slow on realty lending and a dried up IPO market, there is an opportunity to lend to reputed builders for potential IRRs of 15-17%. Read on…

Dumb Oil?
09:52 August 21, 2010
Such was Mr. Agrawal’s thundering defence of his US$9.7 billion acquisition of Cairn Energy’s Rajasthan oilfields. Unfortunately, it is yet another example that commodities, like beautiful women, have an amazing ability to make wise men dumb.

Technotracks for the Week Beginning Nov 15th
10:21 November 15, 2010
World in a tizzy and markets reacting sharply- nifty down 2 percent on Friday and losing 3.35 percent on a weekly basis. Volumes on the exchanges were upwards of 2 lac crores which is a bearish sign-dropping with high volume.
 
Technotracks for the week of 3rd Aug
10:03 August 03, 2010
Nifty closed above its 10DMA and 5420 after struggling there for a few sessions. Needless to say the world markets helped. A gap up caused by Asian markets helped the market to surface over the crucial 5400 level where it had dipped on Friday and taken support at the 5365 levels.
 
Technotracks as on July 13th
10:16 July 13, 2010
The markets have been steady and benign for the last one week. Week-on-week we gained 2.8 percent and month-on-month we gained 6 percent. We closed on Monday at 5383 after attempting 5400 yet again and finding strong resistance there.
