I am visiting India and am writing from the Orpheus New Delhi desk. Markets have been making lower lows here too. And fortunately or unfortunately, the famous day of 28 Oct (1929, Black Monday) is a national holiday here. Not because India is celebrating the old crash, but it’s a start of an important day […]
This is a normal question to ask if the top steel stocks collapse 70%. But is it really about Steel or is it linked with the CRB (Commodity Index), which retraced 50% of its gain since 1968? And now is back below 1980 highs. Or is it about Silver, an industrial metal which retraced 61.8% […]
The only two indices to have fallen less than 30% among the Indian Indices are BSFMCG and BSEHC (Health Care). Readers of WAVES.INDIA would know that these are our top sectoral picks from THE LATE ECONOMIC sector cycle, we have been mentioning from the start of the year. However, it’s the third Index performer, which […]
We all get it wrong, sometime. But when you say ‘Exxon Mobil: A Great Big Buy’ on JUN 3 when the stock price is at dollar 88 near all time historical high at 93, you must be neck deep in Oil data and rig reports, unaware of everything else. Everything linked with OIL prices, linked […]
The last time we covered GOLD was when it was ranging between dollar 920-950 levels (FOOL’S GOLD). Well we have had a financial crisis and so much activity since then. But the crisis commodity is still sub 900. And as anticipated it did push lower back to sub 800 levels till 730. What happened? Why […]

Start of the year we started with two counts, a preferred and alternate. The preferred view considered an intermediate top at 3.84 and Alternate considered another pending upmove before Eurron anticipated weakness comes to an end. All this early FEB 2008 view came after we got the move up from 3.08 (July 2007). The preferred […]
Economic busts are very strange. Though they are very fast and ruthless, one tends to hear and feel them for decades. The vibrations continue to stay in the system and the love which turns to hate rarely returns. Microsoft may be a great company, but the TECH bubble left it shaken. The stock price got […]
Food cycles have been linked with drought and flood cycles for a long time. Based on data collected from 1680 till 1790, Duvick and Blasing (1981) concluded that droughts are cyclical and may occur twice per century. Studies have also proved how food cycles are linked to weather and climate cycles, which in turn have a strong connection with sunspot cycles. Sunspot cyclicality has witnessed a periodicity of 9.3 years. The activity has been monitored for 400 years. And it was an economist William Stanley Jevons who first suggested that there is a relationship between sunspots and crises in business cycles. He reasoned that sunspots affect earth’s weather, which in turn, influences crop yields and, therefore, the economy. Since 1991, the Royal Observatory of Belgium keeps track of sunspots as the World data center for the Sunspot Index.
