"The conditions are ripe for a progressive normalization of the monetary stance," the IMF said in a report on its Web site yesterday. "India's economy is one of the first in the world to recover" and the central bank should take "a gradual approach to ensure the recovery reaches its full potential."

Sovereign Debt Fears to Keep Markets Under Pressure: Gross



What should investors do when stock markets turn volatile?

The Sensex is undergoing some volatile movements this week - flat on Monday, down 200 points on Tuesday, up 300 the next, down nearly 300 today - going nowhere in particular.

This is a trying time for investors, who are bewildered about what Mr Market is up to. Is this a good time to buy, or sell, or sit on the sidelines?

Patient, long-term investors are probably waiting for a clear trend to emerge. Die-hard traders may be using this opportunity to make some quick trading profits.

To decide what to do, one must understand the cause of stock market volatility. It is usually caused by uncertainty in the minds of market participants. Uncertainty about what? About the near-term market trend.

We had a long bull rally, which made an intermediate top at 17790 on Jan 6 '10. The index had a sharp 10% (1800 points) fall. Since then it is neither going up, nor falling down. Is this the correction before a new rally, or a pause before a bigger fall? Or, is this the beginning of a sideways consolidation movement?

No one really knows. That is the main reason of anxiety among investors, which is causing the volatility. Jeremy Siegel (author of 'Stocks for the Long Run') has observed in his research that stock markets show a tendency to 'revert to mean'.

The current P/E of the Sensex is above 20, and the mean value is closer to 15. Reversion to mean means a bigger fall should be the logical outcome.

High volatility is usually indicative of a change in trend. That again points to a fall, because the previous trend was up. Most analysts and experts have started suggesting different lower levels for the Sensex.

That can be a contrarian play. When every one agrees that the index will fall, Mr Market tends to do just the opposite.

There are no easy answers to the question - except my favourite one. Forget about the index and remain stock specific. Watch your portfolio like a hawk. If you own some less than stellar scrips which are moving up, book profits.

If you own fundamentally strong stocks that are moving down, don't sell in a hurry. If the fundamentals have not changed for the worse, use the dips to add. If you are in doubt, stay out. Wait for a clearer trend to emerge.
