The S and
P 500 fell and the Nifty bounced back last week. Signals are bullish for the
upcoming week. The FED rate hike is yet to be priced in and sentiment
indicators are back in complacent mode. Transports are beginning to
under perform. Bond yields have made a dramatic surge up and risky segments of
the market like emerging markets are breaking down on broad dollar strength. The
critical levels to watch are 2250 (up) and 2230 (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. Love your thoughts and feedback. Happy new
year everyone.

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.
