Wild fluctuation in S&P 500 PE in 2008-2009 explained

In 2008-2009, the S&P 500 PE ratio went from 20 to 120 and then back to 20... all this in 1 year.

What was the reason?

Vishvesh Chauhan: A systems trader par excellence @iamVishChauhan

All throughout, my focus was on price and volume. I was taught that irrespective of whether you are a promoter, analyst, trader, fund manager or insider you can do only two things when you come to the market: buy or sell stocks. Now, if you trade in large volumes, you will leave your signature on the market.



Reading price and volume data gives an insight into what the ‘smart money’ is doing. I have always looked to read the price and volume data to understand the force behind the price action.

Having said that, one needs to know that the market is nothing but a mass psychology reflector. There are three emotions – fear, greed and hope – prevalent in the market at all times. One can only take unbiased decisions in the market if he is detached from these emotions.

Now, markets have an inherent structure. The puzzle is to crack the structure. If you can do it, you can forecast overall behaviour to a large extent, though you may never always be right.

Trading techniques can be developed using these structures. However, there is a flaw in such technique. The flaw is the bias that comes with this strategy. In order to remove these biases, I decided to codify the system. But coding the system is a huge task, if one wishes to incorporate all parameters.

Mumbai youth lands Rs.1.2 crore job with Google UK

Happy to have read this in the morning news today.

The college he studied in is 10-15 min away from my house and is not in the top 10 or top 20 colleges of Mumbai. The average salary for graduating engineers in 2nd or 3rd colleges in Mumbai is 4-5 lakhs pa and the offer he got in India was Rs.6 lakhs pa.

But it was his craze for programming which led him to participate in many coding contests and this is how Google came to know of him. He did not contact Google for any job... Google sought him.

He would have got this job even if he was not an engineer!

EquityMaster Uses Trading System With “Nearly 100% Accuracy” To Warn That Nifty May Plunge 5% Soon

...The data does show that after long periods of consolidation, there are spikes in the Nifty.

In November 2016, the Nifty plunged a mammoth 7.54% after three months of sluggishness while in July 2017 and July 2018, it surged a massive 5.43% & 5.46% respectively after three months of consolidation.

Based on this analysis, it is stated that the “chances of a big move more than 5% could be possible during the March or April expiry“.

He has also warned that going by “price action“, the chances of a fall could be higher.

...............

Common sense dictates that every sharp up move in the markets is accompanied by a sharp correction. As the Indices have indeed surged between 10% to 12% from the lows, a sharp move to the downside should not come as a surprise.

Accordingly, it is better if we heed Apurva Sheth’s advice, book profits and take shelter in the bunkers till the correction is over.

There is no point in being adventurous or defiant in these matters!

Bad news makes a good headline...gradual improvements do not

We’ve seen a thousand versions of this chart, but we haven’t seen the opposite, one that plots all of the positive developments over the last nine years. So I decided that would be fun to create, but I quickly realized, as I stared blankly at the screen, that coming up with this list was much harder than I thought it would be.

This reminded me of something Bill Gates said: “Headlines, in a way, are what mislead you, because bad news is a headline, and gradual improvement is not.”

All of the items below were headlines, but they weren’t necessarily “reasons” to buy, which is why I’ll refer to this as the opposite chart, but not really.

Orange Skin, Thick Bones, and All the Other Ways the Human Body Could Change on Mars

...we should expect a fair bit of evolutionary divergence between Mars settlers and the human population on Earth, according to Rice University biologist Scott Solomon, who examined this possibility in his 2016 book Future Humans: Inside the Science of Our Continuing Evolution. That divergence will start unspooling at the outset, thanks to something called “the founder effect.” No matter how or when it happens, the Red Planet will be settled by a relatively small group of people who are not perfectly representative of the entire human population. For example, it’s a pretty safe bet that Mars pioneers will be atypically adventurous and risk-tolerant. That means, Muskton — the odds are decent that the first Red Planet burg will be named after SpaceX’s CEO — will likely feature more rock-climbing gyms and bordellos per capita than cities here on Earth.

And those initial differences will snowball, because Mars and Earth are very different worlds. The Red Planet is much smaller; the force of gravity on its surface is just 38 percent of the pull we feel here on Earth. Mars also lacks ...

Ericsson teaches Anil Ambani and India's nascent bankruptcy system a lesson

... Ericsson’s lawyers will deserve a glowing mention. For an unsecured creditor to walk away with a 48 percent recovery of its claim – while secured lenders wait patiently for RCom to sell its spectrum, redevelop its land assets and pay them something – shows that the Swedish firm played its cards well.

It also shows the secured creditors, led by State Bank of India, in a rather poor light. They have been deluding themselves since June 2017, when they agreed to an out-of-court restructuring, including a plan to convert part of their debt into equity at almost 25 rupees a share.

SIP and dip: Is the dream run over for systematic investment plans?

Janya Menghrajani Desai, 30, was interning with a financial planner in July 2017 when she learnt about Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) and, considering her risk-averse nature, decided it would be a good way to put money aside as well as ensure it grows. “I’m not someone who takes the risk of investing in stocks directly, so when the planner told me about SIPs, I said why not,” says Desai.

In the past 20 months she has put in ₹1 lakh but made exactly ₹520 on it. “It’s not even 1 percent,” she says, adding that if she had even left it in her savings account, she would at least have made 4 percent. She plans to wait and watch for a few months after the elections in May and then, if the situation doesn’t improve, pull the money out.

Freak trade in NIFTY Futures on 13-MAR?

- see first bar on 13th March
- nifty made a low of 11100
- till 3.15pm, this was not visible on my datafeed
- this is inspite of 2 disconnections forcing me to backfill twice
- logged off markets at 3.15pm and logged in at 5.30
- automatic backfill showed this huge big bar which was missing all day long
- I thought this was a freak trade hence deleted first minute of the day
- today when I start datafeed, the  huge bar comes again.

- this bar did not appear on upstox intraday charts yesterday
- even today, upstox shows yesterday first bar low around 11300 and not 11100

Vivek Gadodia: From system analyst to market wizard

The biggest hurdle to me was psychological. I was only a trend-following trader back then, and as you know the general win-loss ratio of a trend follower is low. In my case, it was around 35-40 percent.


I have been a good student throughout my school and college life, who topped the class and studied to get the perfect score. This 35-40 percent win rate in the market did not match with my expectations of being right all the time.

I was constantly in search of the proverbial Holy Grail. The eureka moment for me was the Ed Seykota interview in Market Wizard. His 'Whipsaw Song' exemplifies the predicament of a trend follower. He says 'One good trade makes for all the small losses' which clicked with me.

Will NIFTY give a bearish 3 star pattern today?

The bearish Tri Star candlestick pattern is a bearish reversal pattern composed of three candles signaling the reversal of an uptrend.


Each of the Tri Star’s candles are Doji’s. Because it is extremely rare to see this candlestick pattern on your charts, when you do happen to come across it, it should not be ignored.

A few criteria must be met in order for the Tri Star pattern to be considered a valid bearish reversal signal:
