@Vik - I understand your sentiment and partially agree with it, but Test cricket is still the gold standard, and the audiences here in the UK and over in Oz seem to be healthy. It's the test game in the sub-continent that needs a boost, unfortunately all these 20/20 stars will find their star status seriously tested when they have to face a 95mph bowler on a 5th day pitch with uneven bounce

Gunjack/Asad,

Modi is the heir to a $1 billion conglomerate - so pretty wealthy with or without the IPL. The money sources though are pretty dodgy - but remember, it is an Indian tournament with more than 95% of revenue from within India - so they don't really care what the rest of the world thinks. But they have to clean it up.
If it keeps growing at the rate it has been - this could be the richest league in the world in under 5 years.
Test cricket is a dying game - just watch the audience in the stadiums.

if one can foresee the political agenda then we will know the coming in the stock market.
i wrote few months ago to pimm fox that we are gonna have such creation of value but on the other side that will create a deflationary period for natural resources( only on a decades basis)
the massive regulation if implemented like said el erian and colleagues at milken institute conference will bring a stabilisation period that will help the central gvt widening its deficit and collecting revenues. but this regulation would not forbid capital outflow on the market; macro even driven situation will take place with probable spin off in the model of universal banking model. that will be one avenue to create value (no tar oil sand!!)
the big question is "will this value creation be accompanied by jobs growth or will it be money chasing money with average jobs creation?"

inflation at bay, high productivity, economic growth, low funds rates LIBOR low... is the sweet spot for equities. Can it get any better? Remember major crashes started from sweet spot conditions. Economic growth could well be a trailing effect of subsidies that has to be seen next week.
Further China announces next subsidies packet why that? If there is growth they don't need a second
package.

Ashraf,
This rise in Dow / S&P is relentless.
Do you still see a 3-5% correction looming given Dow has surpassed your 11232 resistance level?
Appreciate your thoughts.

Hi Saka, Look up "TradeStation" or "E-Signal" must have these charts.

Fresebee, no plans to go to Indian anytime soon but Im going to Australia Japan and Singapore next month.

raj, 1.0150 possible and even 1.02 but no tmuch ore above and sub 0.997 remains a decent buy for sterm gains

Ashraf, ....., if the DOW/S&P chart has any other label other than the USA index (for ex., Crude, Bovespa, whatever) we'd comfortably and without hesitation say technically it's failing and will retest the lows-if not breach them. Only because it's the US index chart do we fail to admit this truth. Fundamentally, bull volume days completely anemic-bear volume days robust, less than a month after FED programs ended and we're already seeing the first signs of the US government's failure to borrow (2yr TSY), and now we have events risks vs financial sector and regulations coming, more taxes coming too. PLUS, there's the EU issue which if it spreads through Europe will affect international finance and boomerang back to US, US election risks, and Israel event risks too. We all know what's coming for the S&P, serves noone well to deny reality.

@Asad yeah I read similar things about Modi...the guy is shady as they come. Lets's be honest most of the IPL money is dodgy and underworld related. The corporate governance and ownership structures leave much to be desired. I heard there thinking of listing IPL teams on the Sensex...should be interesting!!!

Ganjack,

Rags to riches to ran-SACKED now! Mr. Modi has an extremely distinguished history...incl/ charges in the US for armed robbery, assault & fraud. One wonders why the people who hired him didn't carry out a background check on him.

Apparently, the guy owns a private jet, a yacht, a fleet of Mercedes S-Class' & BMW 7-Series' aaaaaaaaaaand is provided bullet-proof protection...to protect him from the u/world? Huh?! But didn't they just prove that he's part of the same...?

...& you thought the Dow going up w/o any reason was strange!
