There are no brave old people in finance.

So part of what benefited us was that we’re risk-averse.
I have a saying: There are no brave old people in finance.
Because if you’re brave, you mostly get destroyed in your 30s and 40s.
But if you make it to your 50s and 60s and you’re still prospering, you have a very good sense of how to avoid problems and when to be conservative or aggressive with your investments.

India’s growth story is so compelling, investors are willing to ignore years of flat and even declining earnings in the hope that the elusive growth will come about at some point in the future.

NIFTY can triple over next 5 years

Ridham Desai of Morgan Stanley believes that it’s the technology stocks that could well turn out to be the dark horse for Indian markets. The India equity head of research and managing director at the global investment bank told BloombergQuint that higher capital spending by American corporates will more than compensate for the visa hurdle that Indian I.T. companies have been facing lately.

While the “structural story is still bad”, there could be a surprise waiting, he said on the sidelines of the Morgan Stanley 19th India Summit.

Benchmark Indian equities, already at record levels, are set to head even higher, said Desai. Indian stocks are one of the biggest gainers of “secular global bull run” that’s underway, he added.

Here are some of other key takeaways from Desai’s conversation with BloombergQuint.


  • Nifty could triple over the next five years
  • There will be enough corrections en route for people to invest
  • Consumer, infrastructure and financial sectors will drive growth
  • Prefer private banks over public sector lenders
  • GST will cause some short-term pain, for small and medium enterprises

  • In India, there are only 27 Companies which have a market cap of more than 1L Crores.For a company to break into this elite club, there must be strong tailwinds and a long runway in place.Some such megatrends that he has seen in his career are IT Services,Private Banks,Pharma etc
  • He analyzed the Company using his QGLP model.
  • Its a business with secular growth drivers.India’s Mortgage to GDP is very low (9%) and level of urbanization is only 33%.Both these figures can only go up.
  • The Gross NPAs in this business is only 0.8%
  • For all practical purposes, it is Carlyle which owns 38% of the company is running the business.They have put in top class processes and practices.
  • Raamdeo Agarwal quipped –‘I own a housing finance business myself and hence can judge the high quality and scalability of PNB’s processes’
  • The management plans to double assets by 2020. Modi’s ‘Housing For All’ can create a 50L Crores Mortgage Market.
  • The Company has grown at 52% CAGR in the last 4 years and increased its market share

Neowave outlook of market

Thus, none of the Upward segment was “extended”. As per NEoWave, an “extended” segment should be 161.8% of the next largest segment. Therefore, the post-Dec’16 development does not attract any “impulsive” interpretation.

We, accordingly, provided a “Corrective” interpretation to the rally in the form of Diametric in the 1st Corrective, Flat in “x”, followed by another Diametric pattern in the 2nd Corrective.

At the same time, we also observed that each successive Upward segment hit a “higher” top. Similarly, each Downward segment ended at a “higher” bottom.

This, to us, was a sign of continued upward development. As we explained, “higher top higher bottom” defines an UP-trend as per Dow Theory, the most time-tested technical parameter to identify an UP trend.

We, therefore, argued that as long as the Index keeps making higher top as well as higher bottom, all dips would only provide buying opportunities.

We also argued that for suspecting any maturity of the post-Dec’16 rally, firstly we require faster retracement of the rallying segment, and secondly, this should be followed by “lower top lower bottom” formation.

NIFTY PE chart

NSE TRIN (Arms Index) Chart

The TRIN is a breadth indicator developed by Richard W. Arms in 1967. The index is calculated by dividing the Advance-Decline Ratio by the Advance-Decline Volume Ratio.

In general, strong market advances are accompanied by relatively low TRIN readings because up-volume overwhelms down-volume to produce a relative high AD Volume Ratio. This is why the TRIN appears to move “inverse” to the market. A strong up day in the market usually pushes the Arms Index lower, while a strong down day often pushes the Arms Index higher.

Here is the TRIN chart for NSE ... note the indicator is smoothed with a 10 day SMA.


Looking at above chart, the TRIN indicator hints at topping out of the market.
