BSE - Lunatex

Tata Motors, with a debt of $2Billion USD, and which was trading at 130 Rs. two months back, closed upwards of Rs.360 today.

What has changed so fundamentally in the last two months which did not happen in 2008? What has happened so dramatically in the last few days to warrant a 2000 point spurt in the BSE sensex ? Manmohan was the PM(at least on paper) in March first week 2009. The left was not in control even in March. He is the next PM (at least on paper) again. Hopefully with more teeth this time.
The ‘divestment’ - ‘kooru pottu vikradhu’ of profitable govt. companies which the markets are so anticipating since ages has not happened, nor is there any guarantee it will happen very soon nor is it any more desirable than militant trade unionism of the left.

So whats different to warrant such a dramatic change in outlook? Nothing.
I am told its all about ‘market sentiment’. What has sentiment got to do in a rational, efficient market? Are not sentiment and EMH related to each other in the same way as a god man is to Thi. Ka?
Lunatics drive the market either way. If one can deal with lunatics in life, one can die a rich man.

    All things being equal, the one who goes against what the so called ‘analyst’ says will do better with his money in this betting system.
