BSE Sensex Target 40000 +

BSE Sensex Target 40000 +
BSE Sensex Target 40000 + in this Bull Market
Immpossible?
Illogical ?
Hopeful Wishing ?
These are the first thoughts of a Person who is seeing sensex struggling around 20000
But let’s start logically
First the clarification
It is not going to happen in 2011
may happen in 2012 or 2013 or 2014 or 2015
 Any prediction or target can be set for 2 Reasons

1.Fundamental

2.Technical

1. Fundamental

Fundamental means Considering the Earnings and GDP growth and other things.
Sensex Rise and GDP Growth
There is one school of thought which says GDP Growth and Stock Markets are Correlated.If GD Growth is strong,it will translate into the good corporate earnings overall which will drive stock markets higher.
During the decade of 1980, Korean GDP grew at rate of almost 10 percent.And the stock markets grew at 18 percent per annum.
Similarly in the late 1970s in Taiwan GDP grew at rate of almost 8 percent and stock markets grew at rate of 9 percent per annum.
Instances of very high market returns occur only with high GDP growth.
Now India has very High growth rate of GDP ,So there is strong case of equity markets to grow to New highs .

2.FII investment
FII Investment is a factor  of Sentiment and Indian image.In Oct 2010 alone in 22 Days ,they have invested over Rs 13000 crores in Indian Stocks.
It may become negative Some month.But the important point is that the options of FII’s are very limited.With Developed economies in US,Europe or Japan etc growing at very slow rate  (in some cases there is pattern of  negative growth),They have to look to emerging markets to get good returns.And India is one of the most strong and Liquid emerging market.
3.Boom Bubble
All the Emerging markets have gone through a Bubble when they changed from Developing state to Developed State.This is part of normal developing process .

See the Example of US in Early 1920’s to late 1920 ’s
From Lows of 63.90 in 1921-1922 it rose to high of 381.17 in 1929-30 Nearly 6 times increase from bottom to Peak .
Now The Example of japan when it was becoming a developed economy














It also Rose 4 times From Nearly 10000 to nearly 40000.
Important Point is that when GDP start Growing all the Stock markets form Bubble which we can call boom Bubble and India is yet to form that Boom Bubble.
During Bubble Time Japan’s Nikkie Commanded a PE Ratio of over 100!!!
Now Some people say that we have already formed a bubble or are dangerously near it
















Bubble Characteristics  : How to Spot a Bubble
  • Majority of investors should start believing that the High Stock prices are here to stay.
This is not happening ,Every expert analyst is suggesting to be cautious
  • There should be new theories to justify the Price Rise
Still waiting for them except this article!
  • There Should be environment of euphoria in markets
No euphoria in markets  Markets are nervous right now
  • Skeptics should be brushed apart by Majority
Majority is skeptic right now
  • There should be entry of 1st time Investors who want to get rich quickly
yet to happen
  • Media should be full of Positive reports about stock markets.(Non Financial magazines)
Even financial magazines are not too positive on markets
  • Even the lowest paid persons are investing in stock market
lowest paid means the persons who are at bottom of Pyramid like waiters,Chai wala,Rikshawala,Your Washerman and other persons whome you least expect to invest in stock market.This is still not happening 
Technical Analysis

Trading Ranges constitute important part of technical analysis.Say if a stock is trading in Range of Rs 100-150 and it breaks Rs 150,technical analysis suggest that new range should be Rs 150-Rs 200.

Now see Sensex chart for last 3 years.
Sensex Peak in Jan 2008 was 21078
While the low was nearly 8000 in subsequent crash
The trading range is nearly 13000
if Sensex manges to scale  21078(it certainly will)
then the target of new range is
21000+13000=34000
Now add the bubble factors at the end of this Bull rally
That makes Target of 40000 plus in Sensex


Advice for Investors
Invest on every big Decline now and stay invested
PS:After 40000 what is next target
Ans :This is the most terrible part
