Observation
The Sand P 500 rallied last week while the Nifty under performed. Indicators are bullish.
The Vix is indicating complacency.  Market cycles are not favorable into mid August, so I am looking for a top in the upcoming bounce.

 Lot of whipsaws off late. Signals are bullish for the upcoming week but market cycles are unfavorable into mid August so I will look for a top in the upcoming bounce. You can check out last weeks report for a comparison. You can also check out snapshots of the S and P 500 and Nifty Indices.

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.
