Observation
The Sand P 500 was unchanged and the Nifty fell last week. Indicators are mixed.
Markets are failing at resistance again. Time to tighten those stops.

The Sand P 500 was unchanged and the Nifty fell last week. Signals are mixed for the upcoming week. The big move up in the Vix is suggesting some serious down side ahead. The markets are failing at resistance and are likely to continue major breakdowns in 2016. 

The critical levels to watch are 2110 (up) and 2080 (down) on the S & P and 8250 (up) and 8100 (down) on the Nifty. A significant breach of the above levels could trigger the next big move in the above markets. You can check out last week’s report for a comparison. You can also check out support and resistance levels of the S and P 500 and Nifty Indices. Love your thoughts and feedback.

India Market Insight

My Asset Allocation Strategy (Indian Market)

Cash - 40%
Bonds - 20%
Fixed deposit - 20%
Gold - 5%
Stocks - 10% ( Majority of this in dividend funds)
Other Asset Classes - 5%

My belief is that stocks are relatively overvalued compared to bonds and attractive buying opportunities can come along after 1-2 years. In a deflationary scenario no asset class does well other than U.S bonds, the U.S dollar and the Japanese yen, so better to be safe than sorry with high quality government bonds and fixed deposits. Cash is the king always. Of course this varies with the person's age.
