the short answer? investors are worried that the US economy is facing another recession (although from the market data I received recently from UBS and Merryl Lynch, the trend is showing 6 months of negative GDP followed by a slow but steady return to growth)
nycigllc has the best answer so far... |

basically, i think its all because of the Earnings Yield. You see, the long bull market we had from year 2002-2007 had driven stock prices to very expensive levels compared to earnings and growth in earnings. The subprime problem is just a catalyst for this prblem to b reflected in the share prices.
for example, if share ABC is priced $1 per share and its earning $.05 (earnings per share), then it trades 20 times annual earnings which means techincally, you can only recoup yor money through earnings after 20 years which means the stock is very expensive because less risky investments like bonds can offer such yield without you having to worry too much. even though if the earnings grows at an anual rate of 10%, the stock is still considered expensive based on the earnings yield.
a good earnings yield for me is about 7 times earnings yield per share. but a better measure would be 7 times cash flow per share. cash flow per share tends to be more accurate than earnings yield per share. a company that trades 7 times its cashflow per share or lower (6x, or 5x,....) for me is considered a bargain.
A bear market is the only one that can give you this kind of bargains so go look for companies now!

what happend in india in these seven days was totally unexpected as our economy is in good shape but i think it was a deliberate act of big brokers they sold the stock of the retail investor which was in their trading account not in dmat. if u go through the history of stock market u will find it happen regularly with some time gap. and the most responsible person for this mayhem is governor of RBI who to suck the liqidity raised the CRR. not only that all these people start to say our GDP will be 8% in this year down 1% from 2007. though the results of the majority of the company are very much impressive meaning that GDP must be above 9%. even at this juncture if a CBI enquiry is set up to find out who sold the stocks and whether he was holding the stock? as only individual investor is allowed to short but in practice broker short sell the stock of individual investor without their consent and knowledge.another reason to down fall is that of the government decision to allow the mutual fund to short sell stock from feb 1 and to bring the lending borrowing machanism. this machanism was removed after ketan parikh scam. my only suggestion is that to not allow ur broker to keep ur stock in trading account. |

As long as there is significant uncertainty as to the direction to the economy, stocks will decline, as many investors are unwilling to risk their capital. Buying the majority of stocks at this point, given the current economic problems, is more of a gamble than an investment. All of the problems currently facing the economy (housing, credit, inflation and slowing growth to name the big ones) combined together present significant problems for the economy to work through, and no single remedy will work given the variety of the problems. With these problems, investors believe they are going to be able to get stocks at cheaper prices, thus they sit on the sidelines and wait. As they wait to buy, and sellers continue to sell, share price move lower. Basically, the uncertainty, that you speak of (many reasons, but little certainty to the biggest cause) is what is causing the markets to trend lower. Until there are some signs that the economy is going to stabilize or improve, it is likely that the markets will move lower. Just some thoughts, I hope they helped.
Best of luck!

Share market is all about speculations and a pull and push reaction of bears(wishuing for fall in prices) and bull(wishing for rise).These forces r continuosly at work against each other.when the stock market rises at steep rate or shows gr8 fall the speculations go a bit lets say haywire.this causes fear amongst the general populance who wish to clear the stock at so as cut the loses which can be caused by speculated fall in prices.this floods the market with excess stock at lower price and causes deflation.This increases the fear and the cycle goes on.The circiut breaker in the market is for this very purpose.to break this cycle.by stoping the trading the buy sometime to let the volatality of market settle. |

Many factors. One, there is a change in the global investment climate. One of the primary triggers is the huge fear of the United States' economy going into a recession with foreign institutional investors trying to reallocate their funds from risky emerging markets to stable developed markets. Analysts are now expecting a cut in US interest rates.
Hedge funds and FIIs could have been the biggest sellers in the Indian markets, booking profits and making the most of the unprecedented bull run that has dominated the Indian stock market for a long time now.
The current volatility is also linked to global bourses. There is a big correlation among global markets. The presence of hedge funds across asset classes, along with increased global movement of capital, has increased event-related volatility.
Volatility in commodities markets has also significantly affected equity markets. |
