Taking Stock: A Lot of Good News Already Priced Into Stocks

Most capital gain bonds are due for a correction and that makes it more difficult to be a new buyer of stocks, bonds or commodities right now. All you have to do in the equity market is pull up a one-year stock chart on the S&P 500 Index and you’ll see the tremendous capital gain. The bonds Indian market has already priced in strong first-quarter earnings and, if companies don’t announce strong second-quarter visibility, I think share prices will retreat. With the economy so fragile in its recovery, investor sentiment can change on a dime. We saw this last summer when not a single piece of good news could motivate equity investors to be buyers. Then, as if a switch had flipped, sentiment turned and it wasn’t even during an earnings reporting season. Obviously, you can make money just buying bonds in India, the index during these major swings in sentiment. Now we’re at a point where it’s time for a break. Trading volume is low, not all the economic data are pointing to renewed growth, and some industry groups aren’t performing as well as others. If I had to describe the current trading action in stocks, I’d say the market was experiencing choppy optimism with a side of general malaise like Tax Free Bonds. You can Buy Bonds online, Invest in Bonds online, Zero Coupon Bond, Corporate Bonds, Government Bonds and also know types of bonds in India.
