I have to tell some thing already told in other words. It is about Nifty’s level now and in 2004 when it was 2000 (Jan 04). At 2000 in 2004 the PE used to be around 20 and therefore the EPS worked out to 100. Now we know that during intervening five years there has been average compounded growth of 25 pc/year since then, it would therefore work out to be over 300 EPS now for the Nifty companies universe. Discounting 3820 Nifty ( 3rd Oct 08) at 300 EPS , the PE would be around 13 . This pretty reasonable even in wake of some slow down fears. The presently offical PE for nifty is 16 and is pretty close to our working as there are three month to go before the year is out.
In light of above, it is not for no reason that the Nifty has rebounded four times after touching around/below 3800 level in last four months (latest on 3rd Oct 08).
It is a good point for taking risk. The tranche of Rs 20,000 crs is going to be released in favour banks against farmer’s loan waiver. Further, the RBI may show some efforts at cheaper money availability as the corporates are experiencing fund crunch. The US govt has demonstrated that the monetary crunch should not make jobs disappear, inflation or no inflation. The historic bailout bill was passed with this in mind and ‘main street’ has been spared woes on account of ‘wall street demeaners’. Also, Russia has released one trillion Roubles in the system for this very purpose.
