Time to get active in commodity companies


Investec had come up with a view to buy commodity shares in future as the profits of companies dealing in commodities, due to high prices will only be realized in future. I second this, I think we need to be in commodities fund especially of those companies investing in big mining companies worldwide. There is always a time lag / interaction between the commodity price movement and the stock price movement of similar commodity companies. This is the time, when ideally we need to buy in the stock. Lets see, will check and post in few days which fund can add value. Checkout the below link for more details.

Real estate prices in India face slowdown

Real estate price in India is stabilizing and is facing steady slowdown especially in the metros. I have taken Bangalore as an example in this blog but other places too are affected by similar concerns. In Bangalore the real estate price is going crazy, though none of the real estate agencies would like to agree to this fact. Property prices moves due to the basic principle of Demand & Supply When demand is high & supply low prices will go up When demand is low & supply is high prices will come down For example let’s assume that somebody has bought a property for Rs X and he is trying to sell the property (say after a year), there can be three options, assumption being that the owner is in need of money and cannot wait for more than 3 months to sell the property. When the property prices are zooming everywhere> Here the owner will try to add as much premium to the property as possible, wait for three months and sell off in the last month at the highest bid ( RsX + RsY) W

QFI can now directly invest in the Indian stock markets. Views, Process, Advantage & Disadvantage

A QFI (Qualified Foreign Investor) is a KYC-compliant foreign investor who is a  resident in a country complaint with FATF (  financial action task force)  standards, a signatory to the International Organisation of Securities Commission's multilateral memorandum of understanding. QFIs should not be resident in India or registered with Sebi as a foreign institutional investor or sub-account.  This is a very good news for the markets as well as to the QFI. First advantage is a QFI doesn't have to worry about all the paper work & compliance in opening an  account with an FII and then investing in the Indian market. Going forward a QFI will only need to open a  DP account and a bank account and can use the advisor/broker to help in executing transactions. (More details on the process is still awaited). Secondly the limits on how much maximum amount a FII and a group of QFI can invest into a company has been increased to 10%. This is good as QFI's are mostly long term
