Durga Pujo. What an idea Sirjee!!!!!!

  When does faith make sense. So much sense that it appeals across generations. So much sense that it appeals across multiple religious dispensation. So much sense that it cuts across income groups. And it affects not only a state in the country but a very large swathe of it. It is not only a [...

TIME CORRECTION:: The surprise element that erodes value.

The brain cells tick a little slowly during the Durga Pujo time and for me it certainly does tick a lot slowly than others. Blame it on the atmosphere or the passage of time. But this morning I went through a podcast that made me think. Mr. Aashish Somaiya the MD of Whiteoak Capital Asset […]...

When responsibility exceeds duty, magic happens.

What can ₹2,000 really do for assuring the future newborn girl in a poor family? At first glance, not much. But in Bihar, that modest sum is being transformed into a tool of empowerment through one of the finest synergies between the state, a fund house and a deprived beneficiary – the Mukhi...

Can Crude be at 30-35 USD per barrel

India’s biggest agony – or so we learn from the numerous media mentions – is OIL. Specifically crude. Every time a small war or a big skirmish takes place, near or far, the mandarins at the various government departments shake in their designer socks and pass on the nerves to us, via the vario...

Factor Investing: Now what is this new “thing”?

I remember when I started out in my career in fund management and my company, a joint venture between two giants, one global and one Indian, had a large number of very smart people coming in from mainly the mother lode – America.  Along with them, there was a trim set from Singapore. No matter [&...

These issues make me nervous

I received quite a few WhatsApp messages on the direction of the market and the best markers there are. While the yield graph explanation was the most plausible and rational (and one that I am aware of), there were quite a few that were wacky but enticing. One was a very adult themed diagnostic mech...

Blunderiff by Trump

Liberation!!!! The word has more than a hint of romance. More than a whiff of history. More than a seed for literature. For a country that got independent in 1776, having a liberation moment and announced with all bells and whistles, 250 years after is definitely less American and more Confucian. An...

Should we be invested in Small Caps and Midcaps?????

There is a fair amount of “garam hawa” blowing on how the small cap segment specifically and maybe the mid cap segment too could be under “extra stress” and maybe in the next decade or so there is no upside possible. This has led to a clamour amongst investors that exposures in these two cat...
