Mulla Naseerudin’s Speech V/s. PC’s Budget
Greetings from Hitesh! Looking at the media coverage, time and effort after budget, I remembered Mulla Naseerudin.
Once, Mulla came to home after giving a Speech. His wife asked….how was the speech? He asked….which speech? One I prepared last night? Or one I gave today or one I thought I should have given after my speech got over?
It has been a ritual for Media to talk about wish list before budget, build up expectations on how FM should do and after budget talk how he did? What he could have done? What will market do now? How it will impact to all involved?
On 1st January 2013, in our article titled “Factors to Keep In Mind While Investing in Equities in 2013”, we had said…….
“2013 budget will be the 2nd last budget to establish their (UPA Govt.’s) pro-capitalist stand in the minds of domestic and foreign investors. They will surely take steps to bring down Inflation and pop up GDP.”
Once again our call has come 100% correct…….PC has rejected populist giveaways in an election year.  He had sought to win the next elections not through tax breaks and freebies, but by accelerating GDP growth and taming inflation through fiscal consolidation. Chidambaram delivered on his promise of fiscal prudence restricting fiscal deficit to 5.2% of GDP this year and 4.8% next year.
How We Look At The Budget:-
There was a big danger of Credit Downgrading when he took over. He had taken lot of measures to avert, pacified the FIIs and BUDGET is one such measure in the total scheme of the things. He is working on a well thought out Buffet menu, so those looking for Sizzlers were disappointed. We will see many more measures during the coming year to make the Buffet more interesting.  
What’s In It for You?
You are in safe hands. He has strengthened our conviction in India as a Preferred Investment Destination as a whole. Great Indian Story will get further push in the times to come. So, Invest, Invest and Invest in India. FIIs started in 1994 and they are coming in big way……if you do not make RIGHT moves now, you will be LEFT.
My Personal Call:-
All Investors by nature must be an Optimistic. You get the best opportunity to show your Optimism during the time of Pessimism. So buy when others are selling…..yesterday first time, Domestic Institutional Investors were buyers in Indian Stock market. Follow them.

Happy Investing
