Note – I have updated this analysis in 2017 here. I had been working to make this analysis more useful. Like all previous updates, this one too has index (Nifty 50) analysis of 3, 5, and 7 years. But this time, I have also added an analysis of 10-year returns. Since most readers of Stable […]
Had the 2003-2007 Bull Market & 2008-2009 Bear Market not been so Severe?
Dear Readers, I am playing God in this post. 🙂 Everyone keeps talking about the severity of Indian bull market of 2003-2007 and the bear market of 2008-2009. Now almost nobody actually expects Indian markets to rise like it did between 2003 and 2007. I read an interview online, where a market commentator said that […]

P/E Ratio Analysis of Nifty in 2015 (Since last 16+ Years)

Though there is no particular reason for this, here I am back again with another analysis. Don’t worry…it’s not a very complex analysis. It’s simple […]

Last 5 Years, Next 5 Years – A small study on Indian Stock Markets
Everyone interested in stock markets these days has following perception:– “Markets have not done anything in last 5 years. The index has not moved anywhere at all!!” And that is true. Numerically speaking, markets seem to have done almost nothing in last 5 years (2008-2013). Now it seems sensible & obvious that one should buy low […]
Large Cap Nifty Stocks – Returns since our call in December 2011
Important: Don’t miss the last paragraph.

And since the world as well as Indian economy hadn’t fully recovered, it was really common sense that one […]
Buy Low, Sell High – How to use market’s P/E ratio to profit from this strategy
In our previous post Do Indian stock markets bounce off PE levels of 12 & 24?, we found that there was some degree of truth in this statement. Indian markets do seem to bounce off PE levels of 12 and 24. And we also found that an average investor can use this information to make […]
Do Indian stock markets bounce off PE levels of 12 & 24?
Confession time… We are obsessed with P/E Ratios. Now this statement itself would shoo away a lot of intelligent readers. As a reader, you should understand that we have a bias for simple tools/ratios like PEs, PBVs & Dividend Yields. But if you are still reading this sentence, we assume that you too are interested […]

SIP on Steroids – How to give boost to your regular investments?
In an earlier post about timing the markets, we saw that it doesn’t make sense in trying to time the markets. If earning a better-than-average return is the aim, it is enough to invest regularly in a disciplined manner rather than trying to time the markets. Let’s suppose that you as have decided to invest […]
