Current market condition. What say?

Is job market recovering ? I m seeing so many job postings with 10+ lpa for freshers Still many complain abt bad market showcasing recent google layoffs I'm planning to switch , I'm not sure this is good idea or not!

Currently Market is offering an excellent Risk : Reward. I know how hard it is right now to build positions, that is why i have a focused approach(Nifty 100 only). Whenever the market is going to give you Risk : Reward things are not going to be rosy. I carry out 1 exercise on the weekend to check the market breadth when markets are falling. I couldn't post last weekend but i will try to post it this weekend. It immensely helps me in building a hypothesis. In my post i mentioned that buying Opportunity currently exists in the market but Risk : Reward wise Banks, FMCG , Metals are an excellent bet at this stage. Also stocks from Nifty 100 are exhibiting strength wrt to Broader market .ie. Nifty 500, Nifty 750. Check out here - https://share.gvine.app/df3TRVcpCV5VF81M7 I have gone behind Bank Nifty Fut today but with 50% of intended Scale in. I will scale up another 50% after some stability in Nifty. I have gone behind Bank Nifty FUT and not options. The journey is not going to be smooth on the upside, momentum is missing so dabble into options only if you understand risk. Now, I have started to build a newer position in a few counters but they are from the Nifty 100 list only. For the time being Nifty 100 is my only universe. I am tracking stocks from small cap, mid cap space as well but i wont buy anything unless those indices become stable. ABB, HAVELLS, COLPAL , ICICPRULI , JINDAL S, TATA S. Except Havells all of them have given an entry opportunity and Risk : Reward is great. TATA M, M&M, DLF are eg of stocks that will offer opportunity. In one of my posts I mentioned that i want to go behind M&M but risk : reward is skewed. Now i might get an opportunity. Out of Auto, Realty i will just go behind 1 Stock. Global and US markets are stable. Let's see what we do. I have my Stop losses in place, if things start going south, i will simply cut out.

Every Newbie market participant wants the market to fall. People with some experience like me feel that markets are very stretched and it should fall. Even a seasoned trader/Investor would say that markets have gone up a lot and it should be correct. Almost every participant is in the same boat hoping and waiting for a sudden fall to come any day 😂 I don't think markets are going to fall when everybody is cautious. It may remain in a broad range of 5-7% on both sides, frustrate a lot of participants until election and then move in either direction. Meanwhile stock specific movement will continue on the upside. It's so funny that everyone is patiently waiting and hoping for a fall 😂

Missed the last COVID rally but this time it has rewarded. How many of you are invested in Bitcoin? My biggest regret is not to invest in Bitcoin in 2012 when I got introduced to it by a good friend!

There is a saying that "when there is greed be fearfull and when everyone is fearfull be greedy". Now every tom dick and harry is talking about investing in market and earning great returns. Are we in a bubble ? There is no easy money in markets but currently u will get lot of advice on which stocks to buy from everywhere. What should one do? Pause SIP , remove all money from stocks park it in Liquid fund, FD, bonds, do nothing? Thoughts

Not financial advice, do your own research Markets are ripe with opportunities, hope snipers are in position with enough ammo.

Talked to the son of my Dad's friend recently. Brilliant kid has a good GPA from IIIT-H + 2 research internships and 1 summer internship at good companies. He still can't find a "good" company to get into. (Side Note: "good" implies a high paying job relative to last couple of years) Apparently, most of his friends in other colleges are in the same boat. Massive pay correction has happened. The undergoing rationale is that companies hired Class of 2022 with no restraint because the demand was really strong during their placement season in 2021. This appears to be directly correlated with quantitative easing in the US and a low interest rate environment that was conducive to fundraising for several Series A+ startups. By the time Class of 2022 entered the market, everything changed and they felt some short term change. However, Class of 2023 is having a much tougher time. They are shoved into the job market in a time where demand is low and they are competing with kids who graduated last year. Ongoing consensus appears to be that a huge chunk of their batchmates are going to get their Masters abroad. Their hope is that by the time they graduate out of grad school, the economy will pick up and demand will be strong while they're poised to take advantage of that with bump up credentials. Unfortunately, this also implies that many of them will end up in the CPT-OPT-H1B-Green Card hell. This is really a tough spot to be in.
